Chris McCandless was a very determined individual, he set out to invent a new life for himself and there was no stopping him. Chris finished his four years of college and he could’ve continued to further his education and go to law school but instead he set his mind on going to Alaska and live off the land. Getting to Alaska involves great determination because along the way to getting there Chris could’ve changed his mind and returned home but he was determined to get there one way or another. People often confuse stubbornness with being determined , for example, as cited in Into the Wild, “Once Alex made up his mind about something, there was no changing it” (Krakauer 67).
“The Rest of Her Life” by Steve Yarbrough was a rather difficult read. After finishing the text, I found myself trying to understand what happened in the story. The back and forth nature of the stories timeline makes it a bit hard to keep track of when scenes take place, and as a result what the overall plot is.

Some people may have found that technique, in fact, one man had definitely accomplished this task.
If the audience believes he doesn’t enjoy it, then they won’t bother to listen. Lastly, Jack needs to add a bit more voice variety in the speech. Throughout the speech, it was the same tone and I feel like it could make the speech more interesting with a different voice variety. With these improvements, he will be able to improve on his public speaking for next

Eleonora Hasani Comm 145 Online “Just Bag it” Speech Self-Evaluation 1. I gained my audience’s attention through an ironic joke.

By the time I had started my freshmen year, I had already acclimated to my new school in East Texas that did not have a theater program. Admittedly, the transition without a theater class proved to be especially difficult for me, but that year I was introduced to my first “official” speech course.

Throughout my high school career, especially in during my junior year, how I spoke became more of an asset to me that I could have ever imagined. One especially challenging course for a majority of my class was dual-credit Speech.
One of Raymond Hull’s most prominent works is Effective Public Speaking. Although
Public speaking is not something I am good at yet, but I think I would be able to learn to be a better speaker if it was for something I truly cared about.

As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken.

I knew that Public Speaking was a required class for me so, rather than putting it off, I decided to go ahead and get it out of the was as soon as possible. Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
