Razan: 1- Roasting her friend. The speaker successfully followed all the roasting speech guidelines in terms of making the audience laugh and mentioning all of her friend's characteristics in a sarcastic way. Since that roasted friend was me, I was connected emotionally and humorously. 2- The speaker's sub-genres were uniformed; she started her speech with a delightful introduction along with using the "parallelism" style in the "Coming here phrase". Razan's main points were the memorable points she had with her friend. Her ending was memorable even though she made fun of me. 3- Razan's delivery was at its best when making the class laugh and doing speaking with an engaging facial expressions.

The speaker did well on convincing us how she hates chocolate by giving even though I think its hard to not love chocolate but I do understand her situation. 2- Afada supported her sub-genres with a small story when she rejected chocolate with describing how awful it tastes and the various types of chocolates she hates. I like how she mentioned to eat onions on chocolate since they secrete the same hormones for happiness, that was a good one. 3- Her delivery was strongest on using body movements, facial expressions, and hand gestures when describing something she hates. On the other hand, she could improve on making it more funnier because its a roasting presentation. 4- Her best strength is being able to connect with the audience through her eyes and hands but can improve on being organized when switching onto her main points. Taylor: 1- Commemorating her father. She did successfully on conveying those memories like they were alive, the fact that I remembered my father for a second and felt touched. Taylor's speech was so vivid because she made all of us visualize her memories with her father through her profound and rhetorical
She gives the listeners personal advice she has learned and uses pathos in a more emotional way. Her allusion to the world trade center is a perfect example of this. She reminds us how we can easily overcome obstacles when we work together with other people. Later in the address Amy Poehler shares a few things she learned from when she studied improvisation in Chicago. She says, “Say ‘yes.’ Live in the moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often. Don’t start a scene where two people are talking and jumping out of a plane. Start the scene having already jumped. If you are scared, look into your partner’s eyes. You’ll feel better”,. The way she relates the strategies she learned there back to life touches your heart. She closes her speech with a heartfelt message, “When you feel scared, hold someone’s hand and look into their eyes. And when you feel brave, do the same thing. You are all here because you are smart. And you are brave....As you head out into the world, I wish you love and light, joy, and much
In this case however under the circumstances that it was an award for humor there is leeway on how the speech could appropriately be delivered. He did a very good job at keeping the audiences attention throughout the whole speech even using aids such as his wife and other members in the crowd.
For the first topic, I chose to write on the relationships described in the readings. Each story perfectly depicts the complex meaning behind the different relationships. No two relationships are the same; therefore, that is what makes them interesting to decipher. The subsequent relationships described below all had their ups and downs, which made them all very relatable, for me, as the reader. Furthermore, there was a very notable dynamic in all of the relationships in these past five weeks.
Her slow yet concise way of speaking, coupled with easy to follow transitions allowed for a speech that was enjoyable to listen to. Her use of examples from her personal life allowed her audience to get a picture of who she was if they did not know, and allowed her to better relate to them by provided examples of how she is related to the college they are graduating from. Her reference to many modern political problems allowed her to bring up her important role as an activist and facilitated further understanding from the audience. While some areas of her speech were weak, such as the longer than needed pauses and her lack of consistent eye contact, to a few points where she didn’t speak clearly enough, the overall picture that was her speech was fairly strong. Looking at this speech, I hope to incorporate some aspects that I failed to include in my previous speeches. Some of these include her use of hand gestures to emphasize and exaggerate certain phrases and topics, and her combined use of appeals. While my initial thoughts going in were “This is boring” and “This is too slow”, it evolved into me wanting to hear more, and overall my defeat in the beginning turned into a victory at the
I can't see how any one could take the remarks during the unpinning scene other than as banter designed to cheer up her despondent friend, with a little moralizing against excesses of speech (".
The author approaches her topic of study in a creative way. The author has the ability to take the information given to her and make it have greater meaning.
I think she looked comfortable on stage because she stood with confidence and made a variety of hand gestures. She didn 't move around the stage very often but I don 't think that affected her delivery very much. Throughout the speech, she maintained good eye contact with the audience and this made it seem more interpersonal. In the Q & A session, she also maintained eye contact with the person questioning her.
Two strengths of mine throughout the first-quarter were being able to present information in front of a group of people, and coming up with good ideas for my essays. First I believe that one of my strengths are being able to go on the front of many people and fluently have information expressed. Evidence of this is when we did the multiple socratic seminars. I exceeded when doing

One of the greatest strengths I bring to the field practicum is optimism. In the helping profession I believe hope/positivity is very important because it affects how I see problems, how I solve problems, how I help my clients, and how I make decisions. Secondly, self-awareness would be another strength I have to offer. I am constantly doing self-evaluations of my heart, motives, biases, and good/bad habits. This allows me to continue to improve myself as an individual and as an employee. My greatest limitation would be fear of failure. I have this burning desire to help individuals, families, and communities, but in doing that I do not want to fail them. My desire of wanting to provide clients with the best and seeing them succeed is a strength

She paused when it was needed and the transitions connected each point when she moved on in the speech. It looked like she had cue cards with her on stage, but she didn’t read directly from them when she gave the speech. Since she could relate to the topic, it sounded natural and conversational. The language that was used was clear and direct, she didn’t stumble on her words and she didn’t keep the audience wondering what points she was trying to get across. The pictures that she used also helped the speech by letting the audience know where she was in the speech and the connection it had with the
One of her strengths within her speech was her passion. When she was telling about her dad’s reaction to her speech, I could really tell by her voice how much that curtail moment with her dad really meant to her. She is very good at the story telling aspect of speaking and letting everyone feel her emotion. The next strength I noticed in her speech was her eye contact. Even though she was sitting down so she really didn’t get to the people in the back of the classroom, she kept great eye contact with the people in the front of the room. I believe if I was sitting in the front of the room or if she would have been standing up, I would have been able to connect with her just that more with her eye contact. The last strength I noticed was doing a great job at using details within her speech to let everyone imagine what she looked like before her transition. She was speaking about her hair being an important aspect to her transition. Rather than only telling us her hair was important to her, she told us to imagine her with a certain length, color, texture of hair. This helped us really be able to tell what she was going through and all the pain that came with
