Three Easy Steps: Ellen Degeneres Heartfelt Message To Graduates

Knowing this, she takes her experience and uses it to write this piece and uses it to spread her message and her feelings toward the topic.

It is within the human nature to be interested in other people’s experiences. Whether it be with reality shows or blog posts, people like to hear different incidents through diverse perspectives. Writers take advantage of this curiosity and try to tie experiences into their works. Many times writers will include experiences of their own in order to convince their audience of their perspective on a subject. These personal experiences are done in order to make an impact on the audience and it is written in a certain way to make it the most efficient for the readers. The use of personal anecdotes is effective when details are described to the point where readers can create their own opinions, when they are used as the main topic against an argument as opposed to being an unimportant detail, and when it has the ability to appeal to the audience’s emotion.

Sometimes there is a situation that one is dragged in to, such as some type of accident. For example, Mitchell Stephens is one of the narrators in “The Sweet Hereafter” by Russell Banks. In his side of the story, he is a lawyer from New York who heard about a bus accident in Sam Dent where ten children died in a bus crash. Mitchell is also the one lawyer representing Risa Walker and her husband in a negligence suit that financially compensated them for the loss of their son Sean. Mitchell is not only just a lawyer like many others but also had more experience. He sympathizes with the parents who lost their children in the accident because like these parents who lost their children he also has a daughter Zoe, who is he can consider dead due to her drug problem. To this reason, Mitchell Stephen has the most to gain by telling his tale to the reader because he seeks to relieve himself from his grief and to help future children riding to school who do not have to come to the same fate as others in the accident.

Anna Quindlen delivers at speech at the Mount Holyoke college, here she expresses her opinion on life and the adversities that she went through during her college years. In her speech she uses a casual tone for instance her use of simples sentences like “Being perfect was hard work, and the hell of it was, the rules of it changed” (Quindlen, 296). Throughout her whole speech she was being very casual and you could see that it was meant for young adults as she gave advice like “ Instead I’d like you to give up Give the backpacks”(Quindlen, 299). Furthermore her speech is arranged so it is very much like an anecdote, and in this anecdote she uses devices like pathos and ethos to appeal to her audience in order to bond and give a meaning

As life progresses, so does your story. In this essay, I loved the way the author had problems writing her own autobiography, the way she emphasized her struggles with her past. To me, this gave her story so much more meaning.

At the beginning of Sarah Polley’s 2013 Stories We Tell, a quote by Margret Atwood appears and states that, “In the end, we’ll all become stories” (Polley). This quote leads to the main message of the film involving storytelling and the profound significance it carries in life. As memories form, we reflect on them and the stories that accumulate from those memories begin to define us. The film begins with Polley presenting her storytellers, who are all part of the family. She simply asks her family to tell the story, from the beginning, of her mother Diane. They have their own way of disclosing facts about Diane, but it’s how each person uniquely tells the story that is most interesting. Whether filled with pleasure, sorrow, or regret, each subject individually describes Diane’s life. This reveals that how one is remembered or even currently portrayed is established through the memories of others, mysteries and all. Through the use of intimate interviews of her family members, Polley successfully investigates the reconstruction of her mother's existence. The memories and stories families collectively tell, even if they are unclear, are what define the truth.

Within DeGeneres’ speech, she also included some pathos. While connecting to her audience through comedy bits in her speech, she also connected with them through a very emotional level when telling her story. The comedic aspect of her speech was very enlightening and kept everyone in a laughing mood. Her speech was something that people wanted to hear and engage with the entire time. When first reading the speech, you notice that Ellen DeGeneres is funny, entertaining, and a person you would like to spend time with. She cracks jokes in her speech and

Stories are surrounding us. Whether you're in school or at work or simply listening to somebody let you know about their day. We learn through stories. As humans we all share experiences through stories. We learn from ones experiences while they tell us the story of what happen to them. We learn about a 12 year old girl named Lisa Chavez. She tells us her story about the first time she has experienced racism. We also learn about a woman named Chimamanda Adiche's and she tells us about the dangers of a single story. While Chimamanda Adiche's tells us her story she explains to us why people have racist thoughts and it’s because of storytelling. Then we learn about Hampl’s piece about memoirs. He tells us what he thinks a memoir is and how true can a memoir be. Stories affect our everyday life, they affect how we see people and how we learn about things.

This appeals to the rhetorical strategy ethos. This helps pull the reader's attention in and makes them believe the claims she is making. Having first hand accounts of this experience allows her article to connect with the readers so they know what she has gone through. The audience can see the author's credibility through this making it more believable. Showing us her side of the story lets us know that these problems are real. Explaining to the audience examples of this in everyday life and language makes the audience feel like something must be done.

With these methods she is able to strengthen the powerful emotions that she was feeling during this time of her life by enhancing the her narration and its effectiveness on the reader.

She uses the humor to keep her audience entertained and to make her speech one to remember. She creates a bond to the audience reminding them that she has been in their place and remembers what it was like. She continues to use humor like “Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but ... A win-win situation!” (Rowling). This is because she can relate to the graduates nerves of going into the real world. She shows them that even she has felt the same feelings.

Psychologist and best-selling author Clarissa Pinkola Estes, who using stories in therapy says, “Stories act like an antibiotic that finds the source of the infection and concentrates there. The story help makes that part of the psyche clear and strong again.”4 In her book Remember the Time, Eileen Silva Kindig recalls a woman who is very depressed after the death of her husband until a young couple moved in next door whom the woman conversed with and shared stories. The woman’s daughter told Kindig the more she shared her stories and knowledge, the more vital she even

Summary: Mrs. Karen Ehman talked about her book in the beginning. Her mom always cared for others and listened to them first. She was the one who taught love to a speaker. She thought of other people first before she took care of herself. She was a thoughtful person. When a speaker had a sad, depressed moment in her school life, her mom told her to think others who were worse than her. Everyone can experience some bad moments in their life and if we think in a positive way, this bad moment is nothing in our life. This will go away someday and we will feel better and stronger. There is another story of her life. The speaker had a friend who was not feeling well one day and they met each other in a coffee shop. The speaker could read her feeling
