  • Lizzy Velasquez Speech Analysis

    659 Words  | 2 Pages

    On December 20, 2013 at a motivational conference for women in Austin, Texas, a woman by the name of Lizzy Velasquez delivered a heartfelt speech on the power of taking the negatives in life and turning them into positives. Velasquez is one of three people in the world that suffer from a rare syndrome that renders her impossible to gain weight. She talks about how because of this syndrome she was ridiculed, bullied and tormented both as a child and as an adult and was once referred to as the “ugliest woman in the world”, but took hold of those negatives, overcame them and turned them into positive goals for herself. Velasquez delivers a speech so compelling and strong witted that conveys a message of encouragement, tenacity and triumph, she believes in inner strength and defining yourself by the accomplishments, character and compassion that one possesses and not by their outer appearance. My analysis will focus on how Velasquez used the strategies of story-telling, inflection, expression, pauses and redundancy to connect and maintain her audience’s interest as well as evoke their sympathy. Employing the three divisions of speech, her introduction caught the audience’s attention; the body of her speech offered the substance of her position and her conclusion reinforced the idea she wanted to portray.

    Kids growing up who know their mother and father will never know the struggle that some kids go through that don’t. Some kids grow up never knowing who their real father is. Many parents face the decision on if they should tell their child that they have a sperm donor as a father (Provoost). Veerle Provoost interviewed many couples and children asking how they felt about the sperm donor and if they call him their child’s father or even if they have told their children who their real father is. Veerle Provoost tries to persuade the audience through her support, confidence and word choice that even though some families use sperm donation that doesn’t mean that their family is broken up or different. Provoost did a superb job during her speech on giving support on her research that she performed.

  • A Teacher with an Expertise in Teaching

    When asked to name the teachers who have had the greatest positive impact on us, we tend to name those who were warm, energetic, enthusiastic, organized, impartial, and competent in their field. Expert teachers employ all of these traits, and, as the text states, are "experienced" and "effective" and have "developed solutions for common classroom problems" (Woolfolk, 2001). I chose to interview my fourth grade teacher, Mr. Mendez, because he not only demonstrates expertise in teaching, but also has created a fun and proactive learning environment, which I hope to emulate in my future classroom.
