speech it is very similar.

11. How they are similar.
Bliss stated that humor can help
the audience stay interested and
think outside the box. Robinson's
speech showcased the exact
same thing. But Robinson was
clearer in his points.

If you are having trouble with a speech maybe you
should sit down and think of personal experiences and
incorporate that. Have fun to ease your nervousness.
