"Who is your role model? The person you look up to or the person who guided you to be where you are today?" Were the first words spoken by William L. Cooper during his speech, No Limit Story Telling. Cooper spoke during the Schuneman Symposiums about the magazine company he works for called Vice Magazine. He spoke about his troubles after school and trying to find himself in life. "If it wasn't for Gary Kirksey I wouldn't be where I am today, I appreciate him so much in finding my true path in life," Cooper said. Cooper's speech was very powerful and self-related to the audience. He wanted everyone to know (being a former graduate of Ohio University) that he too had been in our shoes. Wondering where life was going to take him and what was …show more content…
His attention getter was very relevant to the audience. The video was about the magazine company he works for (Vice Magazine) which is aimed toward young adults all over the world. The video was very upbeat with many vibrant colors that made it grab the attention of the audience member as well as myself. Which I also believe was Cooper`s main object from the start. Cooper also did an excellent job at introducing his speech to the audience members. As well as being very passionate about his topic. He certainly loves his job and Vice Magazine. Quoting from the book "you are in the unique position to speak about something you should know and care about" (COMS 1030 Pg. 18). Which is exactly what Cooper was doing, he was speaking about something he knows and cares about. The purpose of this speech was to inform the audience about vice magazine and what they are doing. Although, there was no persuasion in his speech to want the audience to buy the magazine many members of the audience might have been persuaded to because of the things they saw in the video and various other examples shown in the

Consequently, we have replaced preachers with speakers because we are told people want dialogue without doctrine and talks without truth. Theology is out, storytellers are in, and as a result we are seeing an entire generation of preachers who are more driven to be effective communicators than to be Spirit-empowered
The first moment that The Cooper Union sparked an interest in my mind was during the summer of 2015 when I was preparing for upcoming standardized tests. The tutor that I was under had an assistant that was most likely a senior in college. He was very talented. The teacher brought up the fact that he was a Cooper student and simply called the college one of the best in the city. Before then I didn’t know of any quality schools in New York City other than the Ivy ones. After some research, I found it was top ten in the northeast in its Engineering programs. But I wanted to know if it really had the major I was going for. The moment I read that Cooper hosted Computer Engineering, I became ecstatic. This might have been the school of my dreams.

The storyteller is by all account not the only African American in the book to have felt the confinements of supremacist stereotyping. While he tries to get away from the grasp of preference on an individual level, he experiences different blacks who endeavor to recommend a protection technique for all African Americans. Every one of these individuals present a hypothesis of the assumed right approach to be black in America and tries to layout how blacks ought to act as per this hypothesis. The advocates of these speculations trust that any individual who acts in spite of their prescriptions successfully sells out the race. At last, be that as it may, the storyteller finds that such remedies just counter generalization with generalization and

Discuss the author’s development as a story teller in “The Danger of a Single Story”. The speech “the danger of single story” by Chimamanda Adichie shares few personal stories that related to stereotype.

“Hey mom how are you doing today?” I said as I climbed into the four door G.M.C. Fine my mom replied. Wow another bland answer I thought to myself I wonder what high school I got into should I ask her or should I wait I thought to myself. “Hey mom any news?” No, she replied. Wow still I got another plain answer. Man, I still want to ask her about the school because I really wanted to know what’s the deal about me getting into high school or not.

I slowly opened the door of our cottage, being careful not to awake Mama. I looked across the stone road and saw the door of Ciara’s cottage slowly open. We meet eyes and join in the middle of our stone path as we start heading towards the village. Everything is quiet this early in the morning, and we don’t wish to disturb that silence, so we are quiet. She looks into my eyes again and starts moving a little quicker, into almost a gallop and turns to face me.

After going to this performance there were a few moments that stood out to me as powerful. They did not necessarily move me at all since I did not particularly agree with this performance but I can see how they would be powerful to those who do agree with this lifestyle.

I’m sure this was very powerful to those who agree with this lifestyle.
