My Analysis Of Speech 106
I have taken speech class five times, at three different colleges and always dropped it. Hello, this is
my analysis of Speech 106. Today I want to talk about the three moments I knew I could finish this
class. The first moment I knew I could finish this class was after I had a one on one conversation
with Mrs. Rhodes. It was after our first class meeting. I had gotten a grade of 50 on my manuscript
and a 60 on my test. I was very discouraged and ready to drop the class. Then over the next few days
I had many emails with Mrs. Rhodes and I felt better, more confident, and ready to give the best
speech of my life. The second moment I knew I could finish this class was the day I actually gave
the speech. I knew my speech, front and

Audience Analysis Paper When it comes to writing and presenting a speech, the audience is a big
factor to account for. Who are you speaking to? How do you grab their attention? Where, when, and
why are you speaking to these people? There are a lot of things to consider when there is a
presentation to be given. When analyzing an audience, there is a process in which to go about doing
so. First, identify the characteristics of your audience, whether demographic or situational, then ask
yourself what techniques can help you meet the audience characteristics, and finally what are some
potential problems that could go along with your analysis. By analyzing your audience, ... Show

Steve Jobs Speech Analysis
In June of 2005, many people gathered to hear Steve Jobs' commencement speech at Stanford. At
the time, Jobs had just returned to Apple and was working on the new iPod. Years earlier, Jobs also
had previously undergone pancreatic surgery. These are the main stories that were acknowledged
and Jobs' used these to convey his talking points. The lessons that Jobs learned throughout his many
years in Silicon Valley are not only for the recent graduates but also for everyone else who was in
attendance. His use of logos in this speech is clear as even though speaking his own thoughts, he
uses history to justify them. Steve also uses emotions well when persuading others to chase their
passion. In the speech, he claims that if you are not working on your passion, the work that you are
producing will always be subpar or feeble. Even before the speech began, the entire audience knew
Jobs' credibility or ethos. At the time, he was an iconic figure in the technological world, mainly
through Apple and his creation of the Macintosh. In his speech, Jobs goes into detail on events that
weren't as widespread. For instance, years earlier, he had been fired from his own company that he
created in his parent's garage. This event was very significant for him as it allowed the rest of the
world to see what Steve Jobs was all about. Many, including himself, thought he would leave the
valley for good. This tragic turn of events did not, however, lead to something as bad. The removal
of Jobs from

Love And Hate Speech Analysis
John Krass truly captures the mess the left is in, the lack of understanding the value and power of
the First Amendment. With so many people believing that "hate speech" is not covered there is a
feeling of hypocrisy that comes from their whole movement. The point brought up about the protests
in Charlottesville next to the signs of Black Lives Matter protest, it just shows that it is hate speech
if you dictate it towards a minority. Even if the left thinks hate speech isn't covered by the First
Amendment, I don't think they understand how much they use it. The thought of the loss of a
conversation also concerns me. If there is no conversation between the two sides there isn't really
any hope for our current political system (however, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Obviously, there is some effect of the values that the previous generation instilled. The lack of jobs
and getting licenses in iGen could be from the excess feeling of getting good grades and going to
college, of which some parents discourage their children from getting jobs. This being said,
however, there is the issue of the smartphone and how addicted everyone is to them. The amount
that they have been pressed upon us as a social symbol but also a mean of parental control. Which to
me is where parent's generation comes into effect. At college parents are willing to helicopter over
their children more, dictate how they should be spending their time and picking up the slack in
hopes that their children will be able to graduate with a breeze and never having to worry
themselves with the adult world. California's recent passing through the legislature of Provisional
licenses until 21 only encourages this behavior. While the iGeneration is still trapped in childhood,
they are increasingly being placed there. That being said I still feel iGen is too young of a generation
to truly know what traits they will have, what their work ethic will be, as by some standards they
reach the age of 22 and others they are at oldest 19. It is too soon to

The Rhetorical Analysis Of The King's Speech
In the film "The King's Speech", written by David Seidler and released on November 26, 2010, the
filmmaker portrays Albert being constantly under pressure for speaking correctly, by comparing his
speech to great broadcasters who are anything but great leaders. The pressure that comes from
Albert's father, King George V, results in more frustration for the both of them, without either of
them realising that to lead a country into greatness depends more on just speaking well. Throughout
the film, there had been ideal speech models like Hitler, David, and King George V, shown in order
to compare their speech to Albert's and to show what a great speaker has to sound in order to gain
the public's support. Ironically, all of those speech perfect models turned out to be egocentric
individuals and the least egotistical leader, Albert, is the one with the impaired speech. I argue that
in "The King's Speech", the characters who serve as models of ideal speech are figures of
oppression, therefore the author is implying that the idea of having ideal speech does not live up to
it's praise.
Oppressive leaders like Hitler have used public speaking in order to bring destruction to the world
like war. In the scene when the royal family is watching him on the projector, Hitler is controlling a
mass army while speaking with a powerful tone in a fast and concise pace. Hitler's body language
also represents the intensity of his message to his country by pointing his fingers vigorously. The

Professor Workm Speech Analysis
Coming into this semester, I was scared that I was taking a speech class. The thought of speaking in
front of a group of people did not fit well with me. I knew in order to earn the grade I wanted, I had
to do speeches. I did not know the class would only be about 25 kids, so that made it easier.
Professor Workman did her best to make sure we weren't nervous or had any anxiety before our
speeches which helped a lot. Throughout the semester we had to do a total of 2 speeches. One
speech was an informative speech and the other was persuasive. The first speech was the
informative speech. I believe this speech was a bit easier due to the fact we had a PowerPoint to

For this speech specifically my greatest weakness was not having enough information, so I was not
as confident. My greatest strength was my opening with impact and how I caught the audience's
attention from the start. This class has helped my public speaking skills in many ways. My greatest
improvement overall is that I am now confident in my public speaking abilities and yes there will
always be a little nervousness but no anxiety. I have become a more confident speaker compared to
what I was before I took this class. Although the progress is not huge, it is progress and I am very
satisfied with the progress I have made throughout this semester. I cannot wait to use the skills I
have learned throughout this course in the future when I will have to speak in front of a group of

A Rhetorical Analysis Of I Have A Dream Speech
Throughout history, speeches have been made to motivate, inspire, educate, and inform. People such
as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, and even Adolph Hitler have made speeches that
have changed thousands of people's views, made a country believe that every member of one
religion is responsible for all their problems, or unite a nation under one shared dream. Speeches are
extremely powerful tools, and the importance of them are vastly underestimated. Speeches are so
powerful that they can change a whole nation's view in just a few short minutes. The speaker must
connect to the audience on a personal and emotional level in order to attain the goal that they set
forth for the speech. This goal can be to motivate or inspire the listeners ... Show more content on

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech I clearly saw the message he was trying to get
across. Martin Luther King was saying that now is the time to change our ways, and that there
should be equality for every man, woman, and child in this country. I understood the message of the
speech easily, but I never looked further into the writing to see how he inspired so many people with
it. Now that I have a better understanding of writing, and I focus more on how the writer is saying
something rather than what he is saying I can see that Martin Luther King said different words and
phrases a certain way for a reason. He repeats phrases such as "I have a dream" and "now is the
time". By being repetitive, he emphasized that he has a dream, and the time to make this dream
come true is now. Using repetition in speech is a huge way to help the audience understand the
speaker, and to tell you what the most important aspects of the speech are. Another great example of
using repetition is in Martin Luther King's "Our God Is Marching On" speech. In this speech he uses
repetition with two key phrases. These Phrases are "let us march on ...", and "how long, not long".
By repeating "let us march on ...", King is inspiring the people to protest all the segregation and
voting laws, and by saying "how long, not long" multiple times, he is telling people that if they
protest then change will come soon. Using repetition, King was able to make a huge change by
inspiring people to protest segregation

Jim Carrey Speech Analysis
Many people recognize Jim Carrey as the pet detective or the not–so–bright Lloyd Christmas, but
during his commencement speech to the graduating class of 2014 at the Maharishi University of
Management, he opens up to reveal a much deeper side of himself. While the speech he delivers is
permeated with his traditional humor, Carrey also inspires his audience to think about how they
want to conduct their lives. Carrey presents an effective argument for persuading college graduates
who are entering the work field to not let fear control how they live. By successfully employing
anecdote, analogy, and audience engagement, Carrey entices his audience to be willing to take risks
and choose love over fear when approaching a career and other life ... Show more content on

Although he knew that his family could not afford a bike, he followed the advice of his substitute
teacher and "prayed for one", and continued life normally, without particularly looking for how this
would be accomplished. Carrey then shares his later astonishment, saying, "two weeks later, I got
home from school to find a brand–new mustang bike with a banana seat and easy rider handlebars"
because a friend had entered Carrey's name in a raffle without his knowledge. With this experience,
Carrey gives an example of his own outlook on life–letting "the universe know what you want" and
working towards goals while "letting go of how it might come to pass" has worked in his own life.
Through sharing this positive experience, Carrey entices his audience to refuse choosing fear when
things seem impossible, and instead choose hope and love. Carrey uses analogy as a method of
expressing certain ideas to his audience. First, Carrey conveys the unpredictability of life by using
an analogy of a cat that will "rub up against your leg and purr until you pick her up and start pettin'
her, and out of nowhere she'll swat you in the face". For Carrey's audience of graduating college
students, who are just about to enter the work force and other aspects of life, this analogy helps
students understand that life will be unpredictable; both pleasant and painful. Since many have had

How To Write A Rhetorical Analysis Of Neil Gaiman Speech
WP #2–1st draft Commencement speech, a speech that is purposely produced to motivate, to give
advices and to encourage its audiences. To this point in life, I myself have been through six of them,
one in kindergarten, one in middle school, the latest one, of course in high school, and others are
family members' graduation ceremonies. Out of six, I cannot recall any standout advice from any of
them, they have so much in common than differences. Recently I had a chance to watch Neil
Gaiman's speech, the one in 2012 at the University of Art through a YouTube video; although I only
observed through a screen, I felt the connections, and especially inspired. Throughout the speech,
Gaiman utilizes the three appeals that the Greek Philosopher Aristotle believes to be the three

I have to admit that I am a perfectionist. I do believe in flawless world, where aberration is not exist
and failure never occurs; that is why it troubles me immensely when thing goes wrong, and out of
plans. Gaiman nonetheless teaches me to "make mistakes;" according to his logos appeal, "If you're
making mistakes, it means you're out there doing something", and "the mistakes in themselves can
be useful." I learned this lesson in the hard way myself. I started the personal essay, the essay that
required by universities that I applied late. I told myself I still have plenty of time before the due
date. Unfortunately, the product came out was not what I was expecting, and I got rejected. After
that incident, I unintentionally begin to do work right after it is given, which gives my times to
revise and edit my projects. Mistake can be helpful. For years to come for me in this California State
of Los Angeles campus, I no longer want to become that shy student, but the brand new me, who do
not scare of making mistake but to make them and use them as the pedal for future

Hate Speech And Freedom Of Speech Analysis
Where the right to freedom of expression extends to mediums including written or oral
communications as well as the media, this right is not absolute. This article assists in assessing the
several burdens placed on the media 2013–2014 and its impact on Australia's status as a democracy
placing high value on press autonomy. The article also discusses the restrictions effected by the
recent decisions and actions of Australian politicians, judges and government agencies that affect
media freedom. These include the issuing of the jailing of journalists, increased national security
and surveillance power, coercion of journalists and politicians by public servants and the censorship
of public informa¬tion. This assists in expressing the limitations of freedom of expression and the
abuse of the power to enforce or invoke freedom of expression within Australia.

This approach, adopted as criminal punishment, is regarded as unequal to the kind of harms and
risks related to hate speech, and conflicting with Australia's commitment to freedom of expression.
Thus, this article assists in comprehending the extent to which freedom of speech is appropriate
within Australia and its conflicting position against hate speech. The book identifies the underlying
values of hate speech laws and the context within which hate speech occurs. It also explores how
regulations of hate speech should be balanced alongside Australia's political and cultural obligation
to freedom of speech. Further, it considers how hate language is changing and the strain concerning
freedom of speech and hate speech as a tension between freedom and

Do America have "Freedom of Speech"?
There is a white, frustrated man looking straight forward. His hair is as white as snow, with a mean
look on his face. It looks as if he wants to say something, but can't. He has this striped, red, white,

shows no delight in anything. It has big white bold words saying, "Freedom of Speech". He has on a
white collared shirt with a black jacket on. His eyes are as if they are furious and cannot wait until
his mouth is uncovered. Half of his face looks like he is trying to come out of the shadows and

To begin, the message behind this picture seems to be very clear. The words say, "Freedom of

unless the authorities want it to be heard. The design also draws people in, because of what it is
saying about America and the way it is designed, really can have your thoughts wondering about
your rights. On the other hand, the man seems as if he wants to speak upon something, but cannot
get it out. The words are stating something in big bold letters that the man cannot prove to be true
about America. This image is showing that the law doesn't really matter when it comes to "Freedom
of Speech". Everyone can only speak on what the government wants them to speak on. The man's
eyes look as if he is frustrated with that flag covering his mouth. You can feel the tension in this
picture just by his facial expression. In reality, some people may disagree with my argument. Some

Steve Jobs Speech Analysis
Steve Jobs, a world class tech guru, and Neil Gaiman, a Newbery medal winning author, were both
tasked with the similar job of writing and delivering a commencement speech to university
graduates. Steve Jobs' speech occured at the highly esteemed, prestigious university of Stanford,
while Neil Gaiman delivered his speech at the University of the Arts. Both speeches carried a very
similar message; Jobs' speech urged students to "find what they love" and all will fall into place, and
Gaiman's speech advised students to take risks and do whatever it takes to do what they love.
However, whilst Gaiman is able to use varying structure throughout his speech to develop his
messages that he wants to the graduates to take away along with relatable evidence graduates, Jobs'
incredibly simplistic structure and evidence that is foreign to most students do not allow for him to
effectively reach his students. Steve Jobs' speech fails to reach the Stanford graduates as it consists
of three stories that are identical in structure filled with examples foreign to his audience in his
attempt to inspire Stanford's class of 2015 to do what they love and trust that everything will work
out. All three of his stories – one about "connecting the dots," another about "love and loss," and
final story about death – unfold the exact same way: first, he recounts to a time in which he was
younger. Then, he tells a seemingly somber story to the audience., Each story also ends the exact
same way, where the

creditability and a thesis statement kept the audience engaged. The main points that I decided to

explore, and camping for everyone. I believe that I got my

A Rhetorical Analysis Of Edward Murrow's Speech
In any type of society, speeches have a great impact on the public audience and their views on
different issues. Especially in a dystopian world, sometimes what the people need is a speech to give
them hope and motivation to encourage them to fight for what they believe in. Living in a dystopian
society in Great Britain, V struggles against the government and delivers a well though out speech to
the general public to address his main concerns. In a similar yet distinct way, American Journalist

towards the government: "I know you were afraid." V uses a rhetorical and persuasive approach
with the use of pathos, connecting to the audience's feelings when he acknowledges their fear of
competing against the government. Comparably, Murrow also persuades his own audience by
directly calling upon their efforts to see the importance of knowledge: "let us exalt the importance of
ideas and information." Murrow has a confident tone that is utilized to coerce the audience into
thinking that information is something that is crucial to a part of their everyday

Everything in this earth is in a continuous state of enhancing, refining, raising ...improving. In order
to make progress we should know what prevent us from being successful, what specifically causes
this type of social anxiety. Form my own experiences, I have realized that the fear of speaking in
public is triggered by three things – fear of forgetting, fear of judgment and expectation of
perfection. Even though I practice before I give a speech that is not enough for me to succeed. Being
in front of the audience makes me feel anxious, nervous, apprehensive and concerned. Sometimes
these symptoms makes me forget everything. As McDermott said, "Much of the pressure and
anxiety of public speaking arises from the unrealistic expectation of recalling every word of talk in
its exact order." So I try not to memorize all the information, instead I connect my ideas by using
different methods. In this way I manage the fear of forgetting. In addition speaker, including myself,
are also concerned about the audience's judgment. The main purpose is to grab their attention, share
ideas and have a good feedback form them. If you show that you know the material very well, you
are enough prepared and confident in yourself fear starts to minimize. The opposite will result in
loss of self–esteem, concentration and control of the situation. And the third cause of stage fright is
expectation of perfection. Personally, when I have a speech I practice a lot in order to deliver

The rhetoric, content, and tone within hate speech in Japan has grown to incite violence toward
Zainichi Koreans. It is through protest and rallies that they spread slanderous content towards the
these individuals. Zaitokukai accuse the Zainichi Koreans of having special legal rights granted to
them through the process of their integration into the Japanese society. It claims that members of
this ethnic group use "pass names" that are Japanese–style and often very different from their
original Korean names to abuse welfare and administrative systems. Haley (1998) anticipate that the
rhetoric and content of hate speech would lead to violence among "Korean–Japanese" immigrants in

perspective.

Patrick Henry Speech Analysis
Introduction
When Patrick Henry gave his famous Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death speech he proved that
pens are indeed mightier than swords. That speech undoubtedly lead to the formation of the great
nation that we now live in today.
Patrick Henry was better at persuading his audience because he used a convincing combination
rhetorical questions and imagery. Patrick Henry's use of logical and emotional appeals to make his
audience believe in his cause. His purpose for speaking and his ambitious ideas also helped make
his speech stronger. Jonathan Edwards speech was good, but the fear that he instilled in his audience
crippled them instead of pushing them to action, like Henry's speech did.
Appeals
Emotional Appeals
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?" (Henry)
Henry is asking his audience if they would rather live a peaceful life of slavery or a life of freedom
on their own terms. This rhetorical question is impactful because Henry"s audience is afraid of
slavery, they don't like the idea of being controlled by anyone. They know what the lives of their
own slaves are like and they fear being put in that position. This makes the audience want to heed
Henry's advice and go to war against Great Britain.
Logical Appeals
"Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope" (Henry)
Henry is telling his audience that there is nothing wrong with looking on the bright side, but they
need to open their eyes

Rowling makes references to her popular series, Harry Potter, multiple times in her commencement.
This allows her to make easy allusions to herself. She says in the beginning, "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" (Rowling). While talking about failure and her story of rock bottom, she asks
the rhetorical question, "So why do I talk about the benefits of failure?" (Rowling). She uses this
stylistic device to transition into another topic and keep the speech going. Continuing the speech,
J.K. Rowling consistently refers to her novels. She creates a simile when she says, "Unlike any other
creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand without having experienced. They can
think themselves into other people's places. Of course, this is a power, like my brand of fictional
magic, that is morally neutral" (Rowling). She compares human's abilities to learn and understand to

responsibilities in High school she suddenly mentioned speeches. I started feeling ill and the next
thing I remembered is waking up in the first aid office to my Mother yelling Thomas. All I could
think about on the ride home from school was how I was going to stand up in front of the class for
five minutes saying my speech. I have what is called glosssophobia or the fear of public speaking, I
had developed my fear at a young age. In grade one the class had to recite "In Poppies Field", half
way through my presentation John crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it at me. The whole class
started laughing and even the teacher shared a giggle. It was the most embarrassing moment of my
life, the worst part was that some people continued bullying me. I got fed up with the kids there so I
convinced my parents to go to catholic school as it provides religion and also I could get away from
Alexander's Public School. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This year I decided to not hide and write a speech on the fear of public speaking to inform everyone
of my fear. I worked extremely hard on it to clearly express by phobia, I even asked the Mrs.
Carmen for tips. While working on the speech I kept having flashbacks of grade 1, I was frightened
it was going to happen again. Instead of focusing on the structure of my speech I decided to pay
more attention on getting over my phobia. I began reading aloud and practicing my speech in the
mirror. After two weeks of learning and developing my public speaking skills I attempted to say my
speech in front of my parents. Surprisingly I read my speech fluently to my parents, I started
convincing myself that I could do

Rhetorical Analysis of "Hate Speech and the First Amendment" In an article titled "Hate Speech and
the First Amendment", the author provides an overview of the debate and opposing side's
viewpoints. The author adopts an unbiased tone in order to convey key topics of the debate to an
audience that is already putting up defenses to protect their stance. The purpose of the article is to
suggest that the boundaries between opposing parties can be overcome by finding a middle ground
in how to handle hate speech through the objective use of rhetorical devices. At the start of the
article, the author brings opposing viewpoints together by defining exactly what the debate covers ...

When describing a court case in which hate speech was involved, the writer establishes the
"motivation for – the thinking that results in – criminal behavior" of an act. The use of dashes allows
for the writer to quickly point out that words with multiple connotations can prove problematic in
the field of law because a word may invoke different ideas in different groups. The author displays
that a solution that solidifies exactly what separates hate speech from the rest of the crimes needs to
be found to protect the 1st Amendment and citizens' safety. In relation to the previous example, the
author presents that the criminal was protected because the behavior "was directed at a particular
victim, not because of Mitchell's thoughts." By clarifying that the criminal behavior was due to how
the act was carried out, the author acknowledges that there are inherent flaws with the law today.
Where hate speech and the motivation for performing an act intersect, the subtleties must be
addressed so that there is no confusion as to where the line is exactly drawn. The debate on hate
speech and its protection due to the 1st Amendment is a sensitive subject as minute details can turn
the tide on whether a criminal is guilty of an act or

The best thing I see myself doing during the introduction is catching their attention with the topic. I
saw myself move around more than I did in previous speeches, even though it was minimal. My
voice was the least shaky throughout the introduction as it was my most memorized part of my
speech. I believe overall, this speech was among one of my best speeches given during the duration
of the course. I believe I gave my audience great life examples during my speech to help them not
repeat the same mistakes I made.

I believe in terms of delivery I did alright in the informative and special occasion speech. I took a
tumble in delivery with the persuasive speech by not preparing well enough. In terms of delivery, I
feel I greatly became more confident as the semester went on excluding the persuasive speech. The

Rhetorical Analysis Of Hate Speech Laws
A Rhetorical Analysis on "In Europe, Hate Speech Laws are Being used to Silence Left Wing
Beliefs," In light of the recent events in Charlottesville, where a white supremacist rally turned
violent, the argument on whether or not hate speech should be banned has become increasingly
more relevant in America. Those supporting the ban argue that this kind of speech eventually creates
a society that doesn't accept the affected minorities as equals, and can shame them into silence. On
the other side, people argue this would infringe upon free speech rights. In Glenn Greenwald's
article, "In Europe, Hate Speech Laws are Being used to Silence Left Wing Beliefs", he addresses
how this ban might affect left–wing activism, and the fallacies in the arguments supporting the ban.
Greenwald mainly relies on logos to back up his thesis; that a hate speech ban would not work in
America. The problem he faces with this as his argument is that it makes the assumption that these
same issues would arise in America. Other than a brief mention of his time as a lawyer to back up
one talking point, there is very little ethos. While his tone throughout the article feels very neutral
and informative, he makes poor use of logos, leading to an ineffective argument.
In the article, Greenwald focuses on trying to make an argument for why free speech should be
protected, even if that speech is hateful. Greenwald argues this point mainly by showing a collage of
examples where hate speech infringed upon

A Rhetorical Analysis Of Marc Kushner's Speech
The speech given by Marc Kushner embodied many of the characteristics that we talked about in
our Rhetoric and Public Speaking class over the course of the semester. Some of the aspects of our
class that Marc Kushner incorporated in his speech were the use of psychological unity, gestures,
figurative language and visual aids. This essay will focus on the aspects from our class that I feel
like Marc Kushner used best, psychological unity and visual aids. During our class we talked about
the power of psychological unity, being able to wrap up the speech by using the same topic that you
opened with and it ties the speech together. Marc Kushner does this in his speech by opening up
with a story about how he would have to walk from his bedroom ... Show more content on

Kushner used various types of visual aids like, photographs, drawings, and graphs. This speech
would be considered a multimedia presentation which is described in the textbook as, "A speech that
combines several kinds of visual and/or audio aids in the same talk" (Lucas 274). The use of all
different kinds of visual and audio aids in Marc Kushner's speech was probably the sole reason that I
was able to listen to an 18 minute speech on architecture. Some of the visual aids that I thought were
effective from Kushner's speech were the constant flow of pictures of different buildings, like the
Guggenheim Museum, the Parthenon, and the Piazza d'Italia (Kushner 00:05:34 – 00:05:44 and
00:08:44 – 00:08:54). I think the visual aids help enhance the points that Marc Kushner was making
and did not take away from his speech. This is exactly how visual aids should be used according to
the textbook, "They contain enough information to communicate the speaker's point, but not so
much as to confuse or distract the audience" (Lucas 276). There was a deeper meaning to the speech
than just the pictures he was showing, one about how architecture shapes our lives, but the use of
visual aid helped keep the audience's attention even if they were not interested in the

My Field Speech Analysis
For my SHIELD Speech, I felt my preparation was ok, but I could have prepared more. I spent some
time on creating the actual shield so that was smart of me. The shield for my speech was not created
midnight the night before or anything. For practicing my actual speech, I probably practiced around
ten times. When I was giving my speech I felt like I knew what I wanted to say and when to say it,
and I think I have to thank actually practicing my speech for that. When I was in front of the room
giving my speech I felt nervous. I also felt like I had a lot of information to be said in not a lot of
time, but I got all of what I wanted to say, said. After my speech was over, I felt relieved. It was
finally over! Questions arose after my speech, for example, "why did I make such a big deal out of
that?" or "why did I not go sooner?". I also had a sense that I wanted to go sooner for my speech.

I did not feel like I spoke way more information about one point than the others. My speech's points
were all equally spoken about. Speaking equally about each point felt good because that was one
thing I was nervous about. When practicing for my speech I tended to speak for much longer on a
specific topic than the others. I was nervous this would happen during my presentation and that my
ending time would show for it; it did not though, thankfully! Although there were many things I
could work on for my next speech, the one thing I am going to try to focus to improve on, is saying
vocalized pausing words. These include um's and and's. As Mr. Stauffer mentioned, I tend to say
those words a lot. I am fully aware of this and I get mad at myself for slipping those words in!
During my speech I caught myself stumbling on my thoughts, and I was mad at myself for doing so.
In those occurrences, I used um's and and's to fill those spots! Next time I will definitely try to focus
on not saying so many of those

Golden Retrievers Speech Analysis
I chose to write my informative speech about Golden Retrievers and my purpose of this speech was
to give the class more information about the dog breed Golden Retrievers. In this self–evaluation I
will be evaluating two of my strengths and two of my weaknesses to better improve by public
speaking skills. My two strengths would include using and citing multiple sources and having
effective transitions. My two weaknesses would include inadequate direct eye contact and having a
weak introduction. First, I will start with the aspects that I have exceled at during my informative
speech. The first strength would be the use of my sources and how I included them and cited them in
the presentation. Overall I found 6 great sources which helped be better ... Show more content on

During the transitions I made sure to take a step back and a step forward. I did this by reviewing
what I had just talked about and I then introduced the information that I was about to cover. Another
considerable aspect of the transitions was that I used a blank slide in between the main topics to that
when I was transitioning people were focused on what I was saying and not what was on the slide
show. Also, there were some difficulties that came about during my speech, one of those difficulties
being inadequate direct eye contact. During the length of the speech there were not many time
where I looked up and talked directly to my classmates. Something I could have done better to
improve this would be to practice even more to ensure that I wouldn't need to look at my notecards
and slides as often. I also could have practiced when to look up and have a successful glance at my
audience to have improved eye contact. Finally, one of the main aspects that could have used
improvement would be the introduction. The attention getter was not as effective as I had hoped it
would be. It didn't seem to grab anybody's attention so the speech was already off to a not so great
start. While the main topics were introduced it could have been done more effectively instead of just
listing of the three main topics. Also the thesis statement could have been more thought out with
more information about my

Rhetorical Analysis Of Rob Green's Speech Afraid All Over
I went to TEDxUSD on Saturday, November 5, which is a TED talks that is independently organized
by the University of South Dakota. Multiple people spoke at the event including Rob Green, Casey
Finnicum, Jeff Gould and Lindsey Meyers. This event was hosted in Aalfs Auditorium on the
University of South Dakota campus. The purpose of the speeches was not only to entertain the
audience, but also to inform the audience of topics important to the speaker. They also used their
speeches to persuade the audience. For this criticism, I will talk about Rob Green's speech, Afraid
All Over. His specific goal for the speech was to persuade his audience to not let fears control your
life. He accomplished this by informing us of three ways he got over his ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
He used basic transitions to connect each part to each other. I thought that the use of simple
transitions was very effective because it kept the atmosphere of storytelling alive. Green used a call
to action as his conclusion to say why you should not let fears get the best of you. He wanted to
make us ponder about how small our world would be if we let fears build up walls in our life. I
enjoyed Rob Green's delivery. He used a story telling atmosphere to his speech and made the
atmosphere feel like we were two old friends talking around the fireplace. His delivery was solid
and I did not feel that any part was distracting. The tone of voice and rate were very conversational
and he used his hands to aid in the story. He did not use his hands too little or too much. Rob walked
around the circle telling his story and moved aside to show us his pictures. TEDxUSD did not have
any podiums to use, but Rob used his whole circle of carpet to speak. The lighting was just a
spotlight on Rob which made it easy for the audience to see him. There was no question and answer
session to his speech. My favorite part of his delivery was the use of pictures and a video in his
presentation. He used them to aid in giving us the full picture of his experiences. Overall, I thought
Rob Green did a fantastic job of

Speech 2 Self-Analysis
After giving my PowerPoint speech and reviewing the video I think I did okay for speech 3. My
anxiety levels were much lower this time around. Along with that, I did not have a pounding heart
going into the speech. However, I think that largest factor behind this was due to the use of both my
PowerPoint and note cards as a reference to better recall the information I researched.
As a whole, I believe I met a few of the goals that I set for myself in the speech 2 self–analysis. In
this speech, I did feel as though I came better prepared to talk about my topic in comparison to how
I felt for speeches 1 and 2. In regards to practicing my speech, I can say I put aside at least half a
day to review and work out the kinks. This helped me ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
One of those goals is to once again improve upon the flow of my words and sentences. As it did
appear that I stumbled over a few things during my speech. Another goal of mine is to try and
reduce the amount of hand gestures that I perform. However, I think this will be a hard habit to quell
due to the fact that I have been doing it so long.
The key to doing good on my last speech, however, will come down to the recollection of my own
material. Also, I will have to try and expand upon my vocal range as it seems like I still stick with
one average tone.
In regards to the creation of my PowerPoint, I feel as though it served its purpose for speech 3. I
brought in my information slowly through the use of animations and as a result, I do not think I
overwhelmed the class with information. At the same time, I was able to read the information I
included on the PowerPoint and expand upon that information as well without the class getting too
far ahead of me. One part that I believe that truly helped me was the way in which I displayed and
recited my definitions of addiction. Since I did not include the definition on the slide and instead
only displayed the words, it cut down considerably on the clutter and allowed me to add in what I
wanted. Because of this, I would certainly use the PowerPoint again, but I do think I would make a
few minor modifications to the text and

her involvement in the hit television show, Parks and Recreation. Her speech appealed to pathos,

Amy provides factual information when she states, "I know –Harvard– it is the oldest American
university. I know it provides the ultimate experience in higher learning and according to the
movies, I know it is filled with people who get rich either by inventing things or suing the people
who they claim stole their invention." Not only did Amy provide facts about Harvard, but she also
added humor in it. Amy narrates the fact that it has been a scary ten years and that, "You were young
children when you watched planes hit the World Trade Center." Amy wanted the graduates to
understand what it is like to feel out of control. Amy then starts to testify and states, "Live in the
moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. make big choices early and often."
Amy wants the graduates to know that she has been through it all and has also been in their shoes
and that it is okay to make these big

The Harm In Hate Speech Analysis
Jeremy Waldron argues in favor of hate speech restrictions in his book "The Harm in Hate Speech".
He presents the central argument that vulnerable minorities are in need of hate speech regulation to
protect them from harm. Another argument he presents is that such regulation must be a content–
based regulation, as opposed to a time, place, and manner restriction that is usually employed to
prevent certain kinds of speech. A final argument he uses is that speech is the harmful action, rather
than speech simply causing harmful actions. I do not find his arguments to be compelling enough
reasons to support restricting free speech with hate speech laws.
Waldron's central argument is that vulnerable minorities need and deserve government ... Show
more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He believes that since hate speech legislation is seen as acceptable and necessary in most developed
nations that it is therefore the principles are also applicable to the United States. He openly admits
that he does not accept any assumptions that make up free–speech jurisprudence, because they are
contrary to his views on how society needs to address hateful speech. The assumptions he rejects
include the tendency for truth to prevail in the marketplace of ideas, the effectiveness of counter
speech, and that content–based restrictions are bad.
However, these ideas cannot be simply dismissed because they are central to the American
perspective on the necessity of hate speech legislation. Waldron fails to address in an effective way
why he is able to dismiss these central ideas. In doing so, he is practically admitting to the reader
that his ideas are based outside of the framework of the reality of American free speech tradition.
The strength of his argument suffers from the fact that his argument is not applicable to the reality of
American society's views on free speech.
Waldron also argues that the harms caused by hate speech are "constituted by speech, rather than
merely caused by speech" (166). He believes that the element that damages the dignity and
assurance of vulnerable minorities is the speech itself, not actions that they speech promotes or the
way that it is

Analysis Of Exposure To Hate Speech
Exposure to Hate In Depth
In Kassidy McMillan's, "Exposure to Hate" WP, she explains how hate speech is involved in our
society, and how it is not. She writes about the article titled, "We All Need to Support Hate Speech"
by Lee Rowland which describes how hate speech should be exposed to us in our youth so we are
aware of the negative aspects in our world. This specific article speaks about how freedom of speech
is part of being an adult. Rowland goes on to speak about how it is crucial to live up to our First
Amendment rights, and use our freedom of speech to our benefit. We are the generation that can
make a change, and Rowland suggests that we use our rights to make a difference. Kassidy mentions
how we will become culture shocked if hate isn't unveiled to us when we first witness a form of
hatred in our world. She gives us her personal experience with this dilemma and how she was
affected by it in her high school years. Her opinion on this topic states that one is never too young to
be educated about what's going on in the society that they live in. Contrasting from that, some may
believe that people shouldn't be exposed to hatred when they're younger, because they eventually
will be anyways... so why ruin their youth? That specific side of the debate believes that people
deserve to stay happy and pure for as long as they'd wish to be, without the worry of the overbearing
hate that exists in our world. In the "We All Need to Support Free Speech" itself the author, Lee

Caitlyn Jenner Speech Analysis
Communication is a process that allows us to construct identities based on the interpretation and
intention of speech acts. Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, spent most her life
identified by her master identity as a cis–white–male and until a few years ago she adopted the
interactional identity of a transgender female. In this paper, I will demonstrate how various forms of
speech acts build, remain and/or change the master and interactional identity of Caitlyn Jenner as
well as her relationships to others. To do so I will explain how Caitlyn Jenner seeks advice from her
close family member Scott Disick to help her understand the variety of speech acts coming from
both her private and public life: ranging from Scott who demonstrate face redress and accept her
based on her new interaction identity as a female, while also dealing with the face threats that come
from those (particularly males) who only see her as her previous master identity as a male. To start,
in lines 1 and 4 Caitlyn seeks to understand the perspective that guy's have on her transition, in both
lines she draws out the word guy to emphasize her lack of understanding on how males think. She
notes that she's struggled with it (male's perspective) even though contextually she had the master
identity of a male the majority of her life, she has always struggled with the standards that come
with that identity and that still remains. Therefore, she seeks the perspective of a close male in her
family to provide her with that outlook. In contrast, Scott, who possess the master identity of a male
and also accepts it as an interactional identity chooses to influx and draw out the word me in line 7
in his account that not every male will be comfortable with her change in identity because while he
notes that he is comfortable with her change in line 24, he also draws out the word every to signify
that he is inferring that male perspectives are not always homogenous and he does this by using an
upward intonation of I to highlight the contrast which is prevalent through his tone change between
both words. Additionally, in line 25, Caitlyn utilizes the example of Kris Humphries tweet– that was
an indirect face threat about her transition–

The name of the speaker I am writing this analysis on is Sue Girth. Sue Girth is a paraeducator at

is an avid member of the Flint Hills Human Rights Project. She got involved in this project after her

Park in Manhattan, Ks on April 16, 2016 at 3 p.m. for the Little Apple Pride Parade. Sue's speech
was about bullying, equality, and pride. Her major point or thesis was to inform the audience on the
struggles transgender teens or lgbt teens face. She discussed ways to combat bullying in schools,
tips for parents, and ways to get involved in the community. Sue wanted to express her gratitude
towards her supportive community and how they helped her to understand why her daughter was the
way she was. During her speech she ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
She has a paper in front of her that had quite a bit of writing on it. At times she would read
completely from the paper, other times she would look out at the audience and recite from memory.
Her attire was casual, sporting a tie dyed shirt, and some jeans. This fit the event nicely, and made
people relate to her more. She spoke into the microphone efficiently, ensuring the audience could
hear her. At times, Sue became emotional, telling personal stories about her daughter. Although this
was relative to the topic of her speech, it drifted away from the informative nature of the speech.
The information she gave throughout the speech and language she used was fitting for the occasion.
At the end of the speech, Sue gave the audience the opportunity to ask questions. Although no one
asked any questions, the fact that she gave the option made her appear more personable and

On Liberty Speech Analysis
This essay will explain Mill's view regarding freedom of expression and apply it to a modern
concern regarding hate speech. In On Liberty, Mill argues in favor of nearly unrestricted freedom of
expression in accordance with the harm principle because limiting the opinions of others hinders the
"marketplace of ideas" or clashing of views to allow for the truth to rise to the top through
refinement or exchanging false beliefs for truths. Mill explicitly states that silencing speech is an
evil that "robs the human race, posterity as well as the existing generation.... It robs those who
disagree with these silenced opinions." Mill's view is utilitarian because minimizing speech is
socially advantageous because it allows people to learn from the choices, actions, and experiences of
others. Additionally, this view is utilitarian because limiting speech would lead to even worse harm
than simply tolerating hateful or harmful speech.
The main arguments that Mill presents in favor of his view in favor of almost complete freedom of
expression. First, allowing government censorship allows for the government to act with infallibility
to what is right or true. To refuse hearing opposing opinions because the government is sure the
belief to be false is to assume that their certainty is absolute certainty. Instead, allowing for near
unlimited freedom of expression allows for the consideration of thoughts. This allows us as citizens
to evaluate and critique other government and our own governments that have been wrong in the
past. By allowing for the presentation of contrary views, we as humans can be aware of past
mistakes and come to know the truth. For example, allowing for Galileo arguing that the Earth
revolves around the Sun allowed for correcting the false belief that the Earth is at the center of the
universe. While this allowance can lead to risky behaviors, prejudices or other harms, Mill hold that
regardless, it is worth these risks and challenges because this can lead to finding truths or correcting
truths. Second, Mill argues that allowing for falsehoods to be spoken, even if wholly false, can have
some kernels of truth that lead to truths for that issue or truths of other issues. Suppressing speech
can lead to

Rhetorical Analysis Of Roosevelt's Infamy Speech
Honors English 10 Rhetorical Analysis with Roosevelt's Infamy Speech 2,300 years ago, Aristotle
founded the basic principle that almost every great speech since then has been written upon–the
three persuasive appeals. Around 76 years ago, Franklin D. Roosevelt put these principles to
practice himself; giving what is thought to be one of the most famous American political speeches of
the 20th Century–his Infamy Speech. While the speech isn't complex in neither wording nor depth,
it has been analysed over and over again by scholars, politicians, historians, and the like for its direct
and purposeful approach. Given the day after the Pearl Harbor attack, the speech had two purposes;
to urge Congress to formally declare war on Japan (which ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Pathos is defined as being the emotional appeal of a text, so it is no wonder that many believe this.
After all, pathos is the main thing in the text that personifies the author and links them to the
audience in a way they can understand and relate to–emotionally. One of the biggest reasons FDR's
speech was so successful is because it gripped the crowd by appealing to their emotional sides.
Perhaps the best example of this is toward the end of his speech, saying "Always will we remember
the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this
premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute
victory." This sentence was very effective in gaining the attention of FDR's audience because it
created a sense of loss, unity, and hope, which are all powerful
