Commencement speech

Good afternoon ladies and gents, I am here to give you guys your commencement speech. When I heard that I could do it, I immediately said yes, then I had to go home and do all this research about what a commencement was and how to actually make one.

Now all I have to do is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and convince myself that I am at the world's largest Gryffindor reunion.

After I read Steve Jobs’ speech, I understood the power of his words. At the beginning, he stated that he, unlike the graduates, never graduated from college; he dropped out after 6 months. Additionally, he reveals information about himself throughout the speech, such as being adopted, and the fascination for calligraphy

In David Foster Wallace’s Kenyon Commencement Address, he uses this question, “What is water?” to illustrate to the graduates that some of the most obvious realities are hardest to see. Wallace uses this question to draw attention to his main purposes, how we choose to think about and see the world around us and simple awareness.

The truth is Mr.Donleavy only wants the votes of the people he could care less about the graduation which can easily identify in the passage.”Our speaker tonight, who is also our friend, came from Texarkana to deliver the commencement address, but due to the irregularity of the train schedule, he’s going to, as they say, “speak and run.” Mr.Donleavy was an evil villain in this story or more like a stormy cloud that rained on everyone’s parade. “The man’s dead words fell like

graduates once they have their jobs, is for the commencement speakers to go a different way about how they present their speeches. Such as them "talking about the consequences of meaningful work instead of the motivation for it," or perhaps doing what they do for a purpose. In the midst of emotions at graduation one might literally take to heart the typical “love what you do” speech, but who is to say that’s so wrong? As McCoy stated “that the speech should be balanced in its message with a more

“Though some of you may see me as a celebrity, you should know that I once sat where you sit. Literally. Late last night I snuck out here and sat in every seat.” Graduates of Dartmouth College were granted a pass from the typical clichés of commencement speeches when comedian Conan O’Brien took the podium to usher them into the next phase of their lives. Though littered with comical jabs at the college and its graduates, O’Brien’s address offered the audience candid life advice based on his successes

The commencement speech, “This is Water” by David Foster Wallace is widely known due to the amazing message it provides. Wallace’s speech is unlike any other, which are usually very positive, inspirational, and oftentimes cliche.

His use of logos in this speech is clear as

The memorable speech by Steve Jobs entitled “How to Live before you die” inspire us to always pursue our dreams and never give up in everything we do despite we have to get through many awful challenges. He tells three inspirational stories of his own lives that could have made him to give up in life but instead; he used the challenges as stepping stoles for him to be more successful in his live.
