As a matter of fact, establishing relevance and credibility are important factor to get an efficacious introduction. When the presenter establishes relevance, he/she is seeking for two things, to motivate and to create a clear statement explaining how and why the speech should affect the audience. In order to keep motivated the audience, the orator should establish he/she credibility or ethos; emotion or pathos; and logic or logos. Subsequently, the last goal of the introduction is to establish a thesis, this means to enumerate the main points.

In the partitio Maya tells others of the type of person that Coretta was by sharing memories. “She cherished women.

Lucas opens this chapter with a simple statement that speaks volumes. It’s “First impressions are important” (Lucas, 2012, pg. 186). This could not be truer, first impressions can make or break your performance in speeches, and through life as well. If the speaker don’t hook their audience in the first minutes, it becomes a lost effort. Lucas gives us some methods on how to get the audience’s attention then keep it. The methods are relate the topic to the audience, state the importance of your topic, startle the audience, arouse the curiosity of the audience, question the audience, begin with a quote or tell a story. Any of these methods will guarantee a hooked and interested audience. The next step in creating a jaw dropping opening, is to reveal the topic. This may seem like a moot point, but Lucas just uses it as a reminder. Because no one wants to have to figure out what the speech is about.

Accordingly, chapter ten focuses on the beginning and ending a speech. An effective introduction gets the speaker off on the right foot. The “right foot” means that the speaker has accomplished the goal of a great hook to attract the audience’s attention. A speaker’s introduction is a way to make the audience feel intrigued and want to continue listening so that he or she will feel as though what is about to be said is to benefit them. An effective conclusion ends the speech on a strong note. The “strong note” is the speaker going back to review what was previously said so that the audience can remember that information and use it somehow in a way that the speaker intended it to be used. During my speech, I felt that greeting my peers and informing them on what I will be speaking about, which was introducing my partner, would be a great start for my audience to be awake and to feel included on what they will be putting their attention on.
