The situation of my speech came up from the book that I read ‘The Last Lecture’ which is based on a speech delivered by Randy Pausch addressing a group of adults titled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams’ a few months before his death. This gave me the inspiration to write and address a speech as a renowned philosopher who fought cancer to all the students of Howard University. These brilliant students are putting in all their efforts and are working tirelessly into becoming capable of making a good amount of money. Their aspiration is to have a luxurious life and to afford or meet all their demands and desires. However, they do not realize that there is more to life than just mechanical routine and materialistic happiness. The purpose of this speech is to make these young adults realize the purpose of life, the way to life live, living ones dream, true happiness and the power of perseverance. This speech is also inspired by the commencement speech of J.K. Rowling to a group of graduate wherein humor, reference to personal experience and change in expression are the tools used to communicate an impactful message. That speech of hers created a huge impact on the thoughts of the audience. Some of these aspects such as syntax will be seen in this speech of mine. The use of powerful quotes and phrases, positive diction as well as analogies will also be incorporated in the speech of mine as done in Randy Pausch’s speech making it so inspiring and remarkable. According to me, speech is one form of expression wherein the speaker can actually relate to the people, involve the audience, maintain eye contact with them and manipulate their thoughts by the use of appropriate diction, tone and expressions. It is one of the most influential and persuasive form of expression.
