After reading “Gate A-4” by Naomi Shihab Nye I believe that the meaning of this passage is shown in the line “ This can still happen anywhere. Not everything is lost.” It shows that the author wants a helping community where food and cultural/tradition is shared. When this elderly women starts to cry in the middle of the airport because she had an important medical treatment, she thought that their flight was canceled, but she understood wrong their airplane was delayed. This women drops to the floor crying, the author explains that she stepped in to help and communicates to her in Aribic, her language so she would understand.
While delivering his speech, Patrick Henry effectively utilizes his procedures in organizing the principles of his speech. Henry begins the speech in particular way in which he grasps hold of the audience’s attention and keep it. By stating that he has connections to his audience and that they are relevant Henry gains credibility and trust from his listeners. In his opening, Henry connects with his audience by praising the speakers before him “No man thinks more highly…”(Line 1)
Speeches can influence us exponentially and can do so in many ways such as using ethos, pathos, and logos. Susan B. Anthony's speech on women's rights and Chief Joseph surrender speech actually have some very compelling similarities as well as differences. Although they are speeches on very different topics and problems the share the same goal; persuade the audience. Similarly, Susan B. Anthony's Speech uses logos to persuade the audience while Chief Joseph's uses pathos, but the both do so to prove their ideas to the audience.
This allows the audience to know that she can relate to the situation. Most everyone texts and it can be easy to allow such language to bleed over into any type of formal writing. She, however, believes that people have enough common sense and control and that most people don't allow themselves to use such language in their final drafts of their formal writings. Despite establishing her credibility and strong use of logos, she does, however, lack in pathos. She fails at truly connecting with the reader on a more personal and emotional level.
In my speech I discussed smoothie. I wanted to accomplish the goal of conveying to the audience that smoothie can be a nutrient-dense, on the go meal while providing the body with vitamins and mineral necessary for proper nutrition. I wanted to continue to work on having my speech sound more casual, not rehearsed and also try speaking at a slower rate Along with that; I wanted to continue not to let my nerves get the better of me.

She brought up a very important point of “place at the table”, by asking the question of; “What difference does it make if you have a place at the table and act like everyone else? Everyone was advised to always bring their personal experiences to their current situation to be able to solve matters at hand. This concept is very important as things change every day. She made mention of the fact that talking about a place at the table is talking about being empowered, and being empowered, depends on the individual’s believe in having something to offer which is a choice we have to
If I were asked to get the attention of my peers for a speech, I would first consider my audience because I have different groups of people I consider peers. I would also take into consideration the topic of the speech and utilize an appropriate attention grabber. For example, if I am giving a motivational speech, I might use the word courage. I could either incorporate that word into a powerful quote or tell a story about how courage “changed my life” or why it is a “necessary virtue” on the path to success. I think the most important part, in addition to the attention grabber, is to keep the audience’s attention throughout the speech.
Attention First and foremost, for deliver the speech speaker need to gain the attention of the audience since if we do not have their attention we can not persuade the audience ,speaker can grabs the audience’s attention and orients them to the issue use a humorous or dramatic story, a question, a quotation, a startling statement, etc. For example, in a speech designed to get the audience to concerning about the obesity from unhealthy food ,Jamie Oliver open the speech by using a dramatic opening “Sadly, in the next 18 minutes when I do our chat, four Americans that are alive will be dead from the food that they eat.” Jamie grabs the audience attention by questioning how in short time four people can die from the food they eat. 2.
These devices create a speech that is clear to the audience, relatable to a wide variety of people, and develop strong pathos. It is because of his successful and abundant use of rhetoric that Obama’s speech turned him from an Illinois Senator into a rising star with a presidential
The topic I chose for my informative speech was gun violence in the United States. I chose this topic so that others may be aware of all the violence related to a firearm and to inform them of the dangers associated with a gun in the United States. Everyday we turn on the news and hear about a new tragedy involving some sort of firearm. Therefore choosing gun violence as the topic for my speech seemed appropriate. I believe my topic opened the eyes of my audience because of the effect it had on them, especially being that I myself was a victim to gun violence and went through the whole ordeal of being hospitalized and all other effects that follows after being shot.

Feel like saving a couple bucks, how about hundreds? I have chosen to do my informative speech on the impact of Electric Cars on the automotive industry, the environment, the economy, and society today. Electric cars have formed a large scale impact on the automotive industry itself, providing a lot more options for people looking for a car. The environment is helped by these cars because there are less emissions produced by these cars as opposed to traditional gas. The economy has changed as a result of this because the cars do not require gasoline fill ups to run, but electric bills will rise as a result of charging.
