Richard Smith Speech

Through manipulating the power of rhetorical devices in anthology of speeches, orators accentuate the significance of language and learning as a platform for prompting an abiding social change. Hence, an effective speech highlights composer's contextual issues and ideas that resonates within their immediate audience, envisaging a social equity. Lessing's On Not Winning the Nobel Prize, delivered at the Nobel Lecture in 2007, explores the power of language to fuel radical social reform in Zimbabwe, through the representation of educational inequality. Similarly, Keating's Redfern Speech empowers hope within Australian's social progress by accentuating the importance of learning and acknowledging of our past colonial mistake. Both speeches share

“Whoever thinks that he alone has speech, or possesses speech or mind above others, when unfolded such men are seen to be empty”. The play “ Antigone” was about how Creon a king who supports polis, a society where the country is more important than family, dealt with a girl who buried her brother when her brother was a traitor of the city and were banned from burials. The girl’s action strongly offended Creon’s faith and Creon wanted to punish her. Creon ignored the chorus, the seer and his son’s advices and buried Antigone in a tomb. Creon’s son which is the future husband of the girl killed himself because his father said he will kill Antigone in front of him. Creon’s wife died after her son died due to grief. At last, Creon finally realized what he did and became crazy. Creon’s

In our lifetime a lot of unusual things will happen, some good and some bad. My speech in particular is about one of the bad things that has happened in our parents, maybe even grandparents lifetimes. This case is frightening and disturbing, but the most shocking part is how he doesn’t remember what he did or how he did it. All he remembers is being taken into custody and an abnormal loss of teeth. My information is from “my life among the serial killers”, written by Helen Morrison, an interview from CBS news, and an article written by one of the detectives assigned to the case. In “my life among the serial killers”, Morrison tells about her time hypnotizing “Baby faced” Richard Macek and the horrifying story of what he did.

Robert Gray most definitely provokes thought and stirs emotion through an effective use of language and techniques used in his poems. One of his major messages are those connected with mans effect on the environment and our constant need to create something new and yet, forget about what we already have and where that ends up. Also the sense of our society almost becoming, un-Australian and very international.

Charlie Smith reminds me a lot of Jim Smiley but in an opposite way. Jim Smiley a late 1800’s man traveled all over the west making money without even trying. Smiley was an egotistically smart man who would fool and cheat his way to earning some serious cash. Smiley ran a pet Holt. Jim would use any animal he could find especially his bull pup, Andrew Jackson of course who then died. Jim Smiley once found a frog that could snatch any fly that was close to him and jump as far as any frog, Smiley took this frog into town one day.

In class we were shown a recording of the speech, “A call to men”. The first thing I noticed was the title, which made me immediately assume it was going to be a female speaker that was going to speak about feminism; or something along those lines. To see a man giving the speech grabbed my attention instantly. The man giving the speech was Tony Porter, and his audience was mostly women, who made me think, “Is this guy going to be giving a speech about feminism?” While listening to his speech I felt guilty for being quick to judge, because his speech was actually about growing up as a male, and being masculine is today’s society. While Tony Porter was giving his speech, he brought up stories that without a doubt every guy in our class could relate to that left many of us saying, “Wow”.

After the NFL he became a pastor, and soon stared giving motivational speeches for people all across the world. He has given a countless number of speeches but his “How Bad Do You Want Success” speech is what brought him great exposer.

In Simon Sinek speech “Millennials in the workplace interview” Simon humorously explains using past and personal experiences that millennials are a great and fantastic generation. They have become an addictive generation because of bad parenting, technology, impatience, and the environment and the only way to change this generation is if they are given help to balance physical and social lives. I would agree with this because I too suffer from an unbalanced physical and social life. At the start of his speech, Simon states that the generation of the millennials is everyone born from approximately 1984 and after. Then he describes the millennials as being entitled, narcissistic, self-interested, unfocused and lazy. Then he explains that
