Summary: Reading Response

He wants his audience to acknowledge that the way they are currently thinking is harmful to themselves, and that they should think differently. He contrasts his current beliefs to his prior beliefs to show how these new ideals that he follows are more

The three key components of a great speech are ethos, logos, and pathos. Clinton makes it clear that she understands and is an important and relevant person to be covering the topic. She shows ability with her knowledge of the issue by portraying it to the audience. Besides the words she is saying, she shows charisma, and she has a high

Ruby organized her speech in a very interesting and unique manner. I found a combination of a topical organizational pattern and a problem solution pattern. The introduction of her speech was very strong. She captivated the audience with a personal story that she made even more interesting with many details. She went on

Shirley Chisholm's speech is effective because of her use of logical flow of ideas, persuasive techniques, credible sources, and counter-arguments.

It was very appropriate for her speech on the

For my out of class speech, I went to hear Daisy Hernandez speak. Daisy Hernandez had an interview with a student about her life, her most recent book, and her upcoming book, after that she had a question and answer section with the audience. Three things Daisy Hernandez did well were she had examples to show she was an expert prepared for the question and answer section, and used different tones and pitches throughout. Three things she could improve on were her uses of quite a few vocal fillers, show her book when she was talking about it, and slow down her pace when answering her questions. The first part of the speech was an interview with Daisy Hernandez about her most recent book which was a memoir.

She used a stern yet eye opening tone throughout the whole speech. The was Quindlen worded siren line made it very apparent that she is trying to spark change. She was stern to get the point across and make people believe she knows what she is talking about and not some random person who doesn't know what they are talking about. The way she described the reason for change was very unique because everyone is always talking about change yet never had an solid ideas on how to do it. Quindlen did, she defined the issue then came up with a solution, I believe that this a big first step in her

If she had added more supporting evidence and counterarguments, I believe that it would have been a stronger speech.

She presented the themes in a way that fit perfectly with the

One issue she had during this speech was that during this time she was going to show us a few photos of herself after the explosion but there was a technology issue and she was unable to do this. Even though the pictures were not working, the devices of using her feelings in her voice and her emotion were just enough to pull me in to being interested in her story. Also, at one point she went to pass out a hand out and show us statistic but it took her a little while to find the sheet of paper which was one negative part of her speech because she should have had it in a spot she could easily get to. Since she was getting so into some of the stories she would also go off track and kept telling different stories. This was still very interesting but it kind of went off topic off why she was their speaking to us. Simmons was leaning against a table at times which was sometimes distracting because she seemed to be too relaxed at times and at the beginning she was moving her hands too much but then held a paper to calm her movements down which was good.

He also gives examples of situation that makes the reader or listener understand more on what he is talking about. He supports everything he is talking about with details that connect to his main points. He also uses a paper to help him remember what he is talking about, but he doesn’t keep his eyes on paper. His eye contact was good; he didn’t keep his eyes on paper for a very long amount of time. For example, he looked down for a second then looked back at the crowd. He keeps the same tone and energy throughout the whole speech. He went through everything without rushing His pace was slow in the beginning but as he talks his pacing began to be okay when he was stating the things that were happening. His tone was a higher on the main point that would make the audience be more into the points that he is trying to make. His posture was better good for the speech; he wasn’t doing anything but standing. However, this speech was one of the good ones that was given in the past

Her most powerful use of rhetoric in her speech was by far pathos. She has used herself being shot as an advantage into the audience's emotions.

For example, when she answered the Muslim woman’s question about Islamophobia, instead of telling Muslims to report things, she gave a logical answer that made sense as a response to the question. She talked about Muslims being included in America, not Muslims reporting things in America(“Transcript of the Second Debate”).

3. Was the speech well-organized? Did it have a robust introduction, a solid body with specific main points, and a conclusion? How was the time allotment for each section (too long, too short?) Were the times dedicated to each section appropriate? (Introduction and Conclusion: between 45 seconds to1 minute; Body: main points each 1:15 – 1:30)

she made was rousing to anyone that was perhaps overhearing or listening to the conversation. It upheld all the characteristics for a good philosophical conversation. They include various aspects of diversity, thought, support and liberalism.
