The document discusses writing a 2-3 page paper evaluating the character of Atticus Finch as a public speaker in the film To Kill a Mockingbird. Some elements to discuss include Atticus's delivery, ethics, persuasion, and how he addresses the context of the era and audience. The paper should analyze Finch's public speaking skills, not summarize the film, and be well-written using formal language and mechanics. A deadline of December 2nd is requested, though an earlier turn-in would be preferred as the person originally assigned did not complete the work.
I am in a Fundamental Speaking Class and we need to write a 2-3 pape.docx
1. I am in a Fundamental Speaking Class and we need to write a 2-
3 paper.
for this assignment you will be viewing To Kill a Mockingbird
and evaluating the character of Atticus Finch as a public
speaker (there are many other characters, you may write about
also) He is an attorney in Alabama in the early 1930's, and has
been asked to defend an African American who is accused of
beating and raping a white woman.
This movie provides many examples of the different element of
public speaking. Some of the things you may want to discuss
are:
delivery (vocal variety, movement, articulation, eye contact)
ethics
audience (size, preconceived ideas, etc)
persuasion
context (era, physical effects of the setting)
egocentrism & ethnocentrism (in regards to all speakers in the
courtroom)
ethos, logos, pathos
logical fallacies
although we are well into the movie before we actually see
Atticus performance in the court, the information will provide a
soild context in which the events take place, and should give
you an opportunity to consider all the things that play a part in
this speakers attempts to exonerate his client
your paper should be thoughtful and analytical, address the
elements of public speaking (not a summary of the movie) and
well written using appropriate language and mechanics
2. are you able to write this paper? have you watched the movie
how much would you charge?
i would need the paper by wed Dec 2
preferably if you were to turn it in tonight that would be better.
I already paid someone to do this, but they haven't returned my
emails and haven't turned the assignment in.
