A Word about Speeches…

Know Your Audience To woo audience members, you must do two things:

•Find out what they want to hear, and • Figure out how to get that message across.

The most common phobia that Americans have is glossophobia, the fear of public speaking.

75% of all Americans report having a fear of public speaking, beating out fear of spiders, fear of the dark and even fear of death

Logos, Pathos, & Ethos…oh my!The goal of argumentative writing is to persuade your

audience that your ideas are valid, or more valid than

someone else's.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle divided the means of persuasion, appeals, into three categories--

Ethos, Pathos, Logos.

Yes, I am an old

Greek dude…no,

I am not Mr.

Baker!

"The more we do, the more we can do."(William Hazlitt)

"They are laughing at me, not with me."(Bart Simpson, The Simpsons)

the repetition of a sentence structure for rhetorical effect

Rhetorical Question• It is not answered by the writer, • Its answer is obvious or obviously desired• It is used for effect & emphasis

"Can I ask a rhetorical question? Well, can I?"(Ambrose Bierce)

For if we lose the ability to perceive our faults, what is the good of living on?

--Marcus Aurelius

In a hurry, pal?

Pregnant Pause…A pause that gives the impression

that it will be followed by something significant.

John took the microphone and asked Sarah to marry him. There was a pregnant pause while he, and the 3000-strong audience, waited for an answer.

For those of you who may not know, this is the final resting place for six members of the 1970 Thundering Herd. The plane crash that took their lives was so severe, so absolute, that their bodies were unable to be identified. So they were buried here. Together. Six players. Six teammates. Six Sons of Marshall. This is our past, gentlemen. This is where we have been. This is how we got here. This is who we are. Today, I want to talk about our opponent this afternoon. They're bigger, faster, stronger, more experienced and on paper, they're just better. And they know it too. But I want to tell you something that they don't know. They don't know your heart. I do. I've seen it. You have shown it to me. You have shown this coaching staff, your teammates. You have shown yourselves just exactly who you are in here.When you take that field today, you've got to lay that heart on the line, men. From the souls of your feet, with every ounce of blood you've got in your body, lay it on the line until the final whistle blows. And if you do that, if you do that, we cannot lose.

Vince Lombardi: Winning is a Habit

Winning is not a sometime thing. You don't win once-in-a-while. You don't do things right once-in-a-while. You do them right all the time.Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game--but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be the first in anything we do and to win, and to win, and to win…

ArmageddonI address you tonight, not as the President of the United States, not as the leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the very gravest of challenges, The Bible calls this day Armageddon. The end of all things. And yet for the first time...in the history of the planet, a species has the technology… to prevent its own extinction. All of you praying with us need to know… that everything that can be done to prevent this disaster… is being called into service. The human thirst for excellence, knowledge every step up the ladder of science, every adventurous reach into space, all of our combined modern technologies and imaginations, even the wars that we’ve fought, have provided us the tools… to wage this terrible battle. Through all the chaos that is our history, though all of the wrongs and the discord, through all of the pain and suffering, Through all of our times, there is one thing that has… nourished our souls. And elevated our species above its origins. And that is our courage. Dreams of an entire planet are focused tonight… on those 14 brave souls… traveling into the heavens. And may we all, citizens the world over, see these events through. God speed and good luck to you.
