Speech is way of communicating to people it means speaking, verbal communication or to express thoughts, feelings and ideas. Children may learn through copying other children or adults which helps them to produce sounds which will then help to say words that other people can understand. In my setting I have non-verbal children so there speech is usually babbling or making a gesture through pointing.

1. This informative speech on “The Cause of Homelessness “is very Inform able and worth listening to, because in today’s economy it could be you or me. Some seem to think homelessness is choice. I find this speech relevant to the world I live in today, due to the high unemployment rate, declining job market, and the economic hardships that families are enduring. This topic is not a broad one, but yet can be spoke of in depth due to the fact I see many homeless people but never thought it would be me until I seen a family friend who has lost everything, this is what made me more aware that it is not just a choice and any day it could be me. So when you see

Through proving that we are not always correct, and reminding the audience that different people can have different views of reality, Wallace is able to use logical reasoning to show that humans have the ability to change their perspectives.

Laughter relates to positive thinking. The positive thinking helps us to improve our immune system and become healthier. It helps in removing the negative thoughts from our mind and not letting our immune system become worse further.

The tone and rate that King uses in his speech is what makes it a powerful speech. He knows how to speak well and with the right tone of voice and that's what makes it effective. Also, it is effective because of his reasonable argument. His argument is honest and sensible which makes it a successful speech. Finally, his speech is productive and persuasive because of the use of repetition in his speech. The use of repetition involves the audience, and it causes the audience to connect with King. King’s speech is overall very effective and it made a difference in how we live our lives

Wallace establishes a humorous tone in the first section to convey his argument. “There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, ‘Morning, boys, how's the water?’ And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, ‘What the hell is water?’” (233) This anecdote introduces the fact the many people don’t understand what is going on around them and why Wallace believes it is important to be conscious of what is happening around you. “This is not a matter of virtue- it's a matter of my choosing to do the work of somehow altering or getting free of my natural, hard-wired default-setting, which is to be deeply and literally self-centered, and to see and interpret everything through this lens of self.” (233) Wallace argues that it is hard to get into a state of awareness because humans have their “hard-wired default-setting”. People need to get out of their own self-centered habits and see things in a different point of view. By using a humorous tone, Wallace can effectively get people on his side of the argument.

Wallace then discussed that the most important way to fight the urge of staying in their natural default-setting is to think. Wallace tried to persuade the audience by stressing the importance of exercising control over what that person thinks. Wallace felt it was very important to get the point across that people

Wallace felt it was very important to get the point across that people need to make a conscious choice when facing problems. He said,”that people who think, will actually be within the power to experience a crowded, loud, consumer-hell-type situation as not only meaningful but important (Wallace 6).” A person that thinks will have complete control of how that person handles the situation. If a person is driving to the gas station, but as soon as he arrives another driver cut him off the last minute, leaving no other fuel pumps open, that person may become angry and frustrated. But maybe if that person would have thought that he or she does not know what that other person is going through, maybe they could be rushing to bring their children home from school, or that person is rushing to the hospital to meet his dying parent. Maybe if that person was thinking it would have been a lot easier to not get frustrated. He said,” a person that thinks, gets to decide, how they are going to see it (Wallace 6).” Thinking can help a person enjoy the benefits of not being frustrated with things that a person cannot change.

If a writer wanted to appeal to the audience, what would he have to do? He is going to have to utilize some rhetorical devices of course! Rhetorical devices are key in writing persuasion papers and just any paper that is meant to be read to an audience. In the Inauguration Speech of 1961 given by President John F. Kennedy, he was able to really connect with his audience that day by using lots of different rhetorical devices. By using chiasmus, anaphoras, and metaphors, JFK was able to effectively reach and persuade people to have faith in him despite his age and religion.
