Charity Speeches (Day 2)

Once again, I was quite impressed with our classes speeches today, as I was before. People who had been extremely nervous going in went into the speech and delivered it confidently. Hopefully they will take this to heart, and realize they are quite capable of achieving these sorts of things when it really comes down to it. Seeing as fewer people went today, I have fewer comments in general to make. What I wrote yesterday is still applicable today. I was impressed with Matt L's presentation as he used pathos extremely effectively. His story at the beginning captured my attention immediately, and I was apt to hear what he had to say. Bailey's presentation I also felt was quite good. Knowing what her charity was going in, it wasn't something I originally would have seen myself supporting. I thought it seemed like a good cause, but there seemed to be far more pressing ones. However, she quickly convinced me of the worthiness of her cause, and I began to see the need for her charity. It seemed like an extremely effective one in terms of breaking the cycle of poverty. Once again, another fruitful day of presentations. I hope we have all taken out of it that we can all indeed speak publicly, and do it well.
