...Speaking, I was able to develop and improve my public speaking skills. Also, throughout this course numerous research projects were done by using technology in individual and group work activities. Moreover, through this class were done many written reports and essays. This was a great opportunity for the student to practice and improve her writing skills. Furthermore, during this class the student learned about the English language and professional protocol for public speaking. These areas are essential for my development both personally and professionally. At the beginning of the class the student was terrified for all oral presentations this course contain. This was not a class the student will select on her own to take. Ever since the student’s spoken abilities was not the best, she did not feel confident about deliver worthy speech during the presentations. Correspondingly, to be in front an audience was a terrified position the student must face and overcome. Furthermore, the anxiety, distress, and frightened feeling can impact negatively the student’s personal and professional life; since as a teacher the student need to be in front of an audience every...

...Over the past two school quarters, I have learned a lot from being in Ms.Kiyak’s AP Lang class. I’ve learned that there are things I need to work on because I am not a perfect writer and there are also things that I am good at. Two of my strengths when writing formally are I am thoughtful when creating thesis statements and I do a great job at using factual evidence. Which are seen in my synthesis essay and social justice speech. The thesis of my synthesis essay states “Sexual assault is an issue that is constantly faced in the workplace, at school, on the streets and even in the comfort of home. The society as a whole must not accept this as normal and must take actions towards fixing this problem; but, in order for this to happen, they must...

...Erin Ryan wrote an article featured in Spotlight in First Year Writing, called “Telling it from the Mountain: A Rhetorical Analysis of Fannie Lou Hamer’s Speech before the Democratic National Convention”, analyzing the rhetorical qualities of Mrs. Hammers speech in 1964. My notebook entry will use material covered in the class text “Write about Writing” to highlight what Erin Ryan used in the rhetorical analysis of this emotional speech. In the retelling of Mrs. Hamer’s speech, Erin Ryan uses two forms of Aristotle’s proof (pistis) to elicit a response in the analysis. Reading through the article, I found two methods of appeal: emotion (pathos), and logic (logos). The emotional appeal of the article, describes Mrs. Hammers speech style....

...researched that stuttering became worse after several nights of poor sleeping. In a single day, the brain processes more information than you can possible imagine. We rely on our brain to actively interpret and manage every piece of information our body is in contact with. When we sleep, the brain gets to rest, recharge and get ready for the next day of activities, thinking, processing, analyzing and more. That is why the amount of sleep we get is crucial if we want to efficiently function during the day. Sleep deprivation affects a person’s speech. It has been a general observance that individuals who lack sleep tend to stutter and slur. Vocabulary becomes limited and the tone of the voice is lowered. When conducting speech therapy with someone who stutters as an SLP, I first have to make sure my patient is getting the proper rest. Depending on the age preschool children should get 14 hours of sleep, school-aged children 10-11 hours, and adults should get 8 hours of sleep each night. Without the proper amount of sleep patients might suffer from increased muscle tension, which can affect speech. Another consequence of sleep...

...New Labour This essay will include an analysis and discussion of a speech by Tony Blair from 1997. Tony Blair was a Labour Party politician, who in 1997 got elected as Prime Minister of Great Britain. The speech we are analyzing is the same speech that won Tony Blair the election back in 1997, and therefore holds great meaning in British history. Firstly, we will have a look at a rhetorical analysis of the speech, by filling in the rhetorical pentagon. The writer of the speech is Tony Blair. The topic of Tony Blair’s speech is the way he wants to renew the political system of Great Britain, by implementing some new reforms, with the purpose of making Great Britain a more equal place for the people of Britain. The reader of the speech is the registered voter of Great Britain - in particular the old supporters of The Labour party. The circumstances of the speech is the election of Prime Minister. The language of the speech is rather formal, considering that he is speaking out to the majority of Great Britain. The effect of this, is that Tony Blair appears more convincing and well structured, both in his speech, and in his way of carrying out his politics. Finally, the intention of the speech is to persuade the recipients of the speech to vote for him as Prime Minister. Roughly, Tony Blair’s speech can be divided in two major fragments. An introduction from the first line to line 6, and the speech itself, running from line 7 and to the end. In the introduction of Britain...

...Narrative Follow Up For my narrative, I chose to speak about a crucible moment—the death of a friend—and how it forever affected me. Upon finishing my story, there was little to no verbal feedback from the other members of the group. The silence, in this instance, given the subject of my speech, was taken as positive feedback. However, I do realize that my speech may have been unexpectedly sincere and honest because of the certain vulnerability I displayed in sharing a tragic story. Though this may have attributed to the silence, I believe that the lack of questions or clarifications was mainly the result of a successful speech. The goal of the narrative all along was to share a personal experience related to one of the leadership assets...

...Famous Speech I have heard so many speeches in my life, all different kinds. But today I will be analyzing a speech that was in the movie Legally Blond two. This is a comic movie but it comes with a great speech. The protagonist of the movie is Elle Woods. She is a law graduate student. Elle Woods heads to Washington D.C. to join the staff of a congresswoman in order to pass a bill to ban animal testing. And she needs 15 votes in order for this bill to pass. But in order for her to join, she had to give a speech. This speech is called “speak up”. It is intended for both the audience and self. I will be applying Aristotle’s ethos, pathos, and logos of the speaker. To begin with and example of the logo is when, Elle Woods was going to give a speech that she had already rehearsed and she had printed it out in a folder. But as she is about to speak, she puts the folder aside and starts off with an example. She starts by giving her experienced of when she finally got the chance to get an appointment to this famous salon. She said that they use the wrongs chemicals on her and it was not what she expected. The audience was lost because they had no idea what she was talking about. Then she continues by saying that it was not the salons fault. That it was her fault for not saying anything. That is where the audience started to realize that she had a point and that she was transmitting something. To continue, at first she was a little nervous especially when she was up there in the...

...parish, one of our priests, Father Stephen, came out of the vestibule to the podium. He had recently been “demoted” in his role at the parish, but no one would have expected the extent to which his bitter words would be revealed to the congregation. Father Stephen stood at the podium on the altar while giving his speech of resignation from the parish. It was clear that he was frustrated and annoyed at his recent demotion, and he portrayed this dissatisfaction through a harsh speech. The purpose of this essay is to examine the discourse of the priest’s speech. I will discuss its passionate nature and its brevity--how the speaker conceals information from the listeners and what this means. We will use this evidence to argue how silence demonstrates more power than the actual power the priest possesses. * 1 2 3 1 2 3 “Over the past 25 years of my Priestly ordination and service, I have never struggled with a departing message to the various communities and institutions I served as I did with this message, very short though it is. This is for two obvious reasons. First, because its nature and circumstances are uniquely different from when I would simply announce my transfer! Secondly, because I feel more for you, the good parishioners of St. Louis Parish, Batesville, than I feel...

...from the media shedding light on issues of sexual harassment in the work place and equal opportunities. However, today the media has also taken advantage of the freedom of press amendment and gone beyond its intended usage of protecting the publishing of useful information without repercussion. The effects of the consistence repeat of highly sensitive reports being broadcast has effected how people interact among each other, how people resolve conflict, and racism within the work place. Therefore, my thesis for this paper is that the recent trend of reporting sensitive topics by the world of multimedia does have a negative impact in the work environment and on society. Therefore, the purpose of my paper is to show the negative impact of the press since the incorporation of the freedom of press amendment on the working world by providing factual of negative incidences that have been made famous because of the media. First, in accordance to Annenberg classroom,“Freedom of Speech and of the Press: The First Amendment allows citizens to express and to be exposed to a wide range of opinions and views. It was intended to ensure a free exchange of ideas even if the ideas are unpopular” (Annenbergclassroom,2014). Freedom of press applies to all printed and broadcast material, which includes books, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, films and radio and television programs. Therefore, the media has taken the freedom of press to a level of providing information that is sensitive and...

...give great meaning to the poem. One line in particular that speaks out to me is line 51: “I have measure out my life with coffee spoons”. For instance the metaphor of “measuring out life with coffee spoons” might be interpret as living his own life very carefully in small quantities. Also thinking twice of the life decisions he might make. When I think of this line, I think of someone who is precise and analytical to each decision they make because measuring life and knowing how much you need of something might be a good thing in someone’s life. The metaphor itself leaves me thinking about my own personal life and what bad things to eliminate from my life to obtained a well-measure, organized life of my own. 2....

...In the final interpersonal analysis paper I will discuss some of the elements that plays a role interpersonal communication. The five terms I will be using are nonverbal communication, complementary, abstract language, non-verbal cues and empathy. I will discuss the five terms throughout my paragraphs. The way I define the interpersonal relationship between my aunt and I is by using different variety styles of nonverbal communication. One of the styles that we communicate is by abstract language. The way we use language is by sounds, symbols , a complex system, speech and. writing. An example would be when my aunt and I get into arguments, we sometimes do not agree with each other on somethings. We have a love and hate battled. The ways that my aunt and I use interpersonal communication is by using non-verbal cues. By understanding the other's situation, communicating in the right manner and by listening. I think those are beneficial when communicating with one another. One way that we communicate is by using non-verbal cues. We use non-verbal cues from our body language, facial expression, gestures and tone. An example of nonverbal communication ''You wanted the Caesar salad instead of the chef salad, but I thought you said you wanted the chef salad, I most of misunderstood what you said from your text.''...

...Who's speech had the most effective rhetoric? President-Elect Donald John Trump or Barack Obama? Which politician persuaded the American people with the use or Logos,Ethos,Pathos,and Decorum? Which speaker had the most thorough and balanced fusion of these four elements? Donald Trump and Barack Hussein Obama are two well known politicians, Trump being the 45th president of the united states of america and Obama, who was the first African-American president and was also the 44th president of the united states who was in office for two terms. Through pathos, both Trump and Obama addressed the American Jobs issue, both speakers strongly believe about making opportunities and good jobs for the common man, However, Obama exudes his point a lot more professionally because he did not make any "inappropriate remarks", Trump however stated that the Presidential Debate was rigged because Hillary Clinton received the questions before the debate took place; Americans all over the country now look at Trump as A man who really holds grudge due to his resentment. I personally think Trumps bitterness towards Clinton getting a hold of the questions before the debate (if it were true) justifies his dissatisfaction towards Clinton....

...of the most vital skill of need for people in today’s modern day society where people have to convey their messages and deal with people of various cultures and backgrounds. In today’s world communication with people from other culture has become even more important because of factors like globalization due to which people from various parts of the world come together and interact. Personally, I have had a tough time communicating myself. I am an International student at my University. The place where I grew up, the language I use and the whole cultural value that I have been taught and brought up with is entirely different from what it is over here in the United States. It is not just one instance where I have had tough time communicating with Americans. It is an everyday struggle to get my messages understood by the people I am talking with. One personal instance mostly strikes my mind when I think about having hard time with inter-personal communication. It involved me and a couple of friends from my country trying to communicate with another international student from China here at Southeastern. She was from an entirely different culture and had her own language and we were from another culture with our own language. Even though our countries are neighbors and we are from the same kind of geography, communicating with her seems so hard and feels like we are from the opposite sides of earth. We were answering about one question she asked. What she was curious was that none...

...the next. Everyone has their own styles or preferences that they use when they are communicating whether it be interpersonal or intrapersonal, some people will not always realize that someone else is around and those that do may not think about it too much. Communication can be either a private matter or a consensual matter; Interpersonal communication does have ties with self-awareness. I have found in certain circumstances that I do in fact become self-aware when I am using intrapersonal communication. Meichenbaum for example, states that "In psychology, the term inner speech usually signifies soundless, mental speech, arising at the instant we think about something, plan or solve problems in our mind, recall books read or conversations heard, read and write silently. In all such instances we think and remember with the aid of words which we articulate to ourselves. Inner speech is nothing but speech to oneself, or concealed verbalization, which is instrumental to the logical processing of sensory data, in their realization and comprehension within a definite system of concepts and judgments”. (Meichenbaum, 1977) Communication is one of those human activities that everyone recognizes but few can define...
