DeAnna Haase Speech 1200 Persuasion Speech: Domestic Violence Abuse: What is it and is it wrong or right?
General Purpose: To Persuade
Specific Idea: To persuade my audience to help local non-profit Domestic Violence Organization by donating different items that will help keep the organization open and victims of Abuse safe from their abuser.
Central Idea: To persuade my audience that Domestic Violence is not just legally wrong, it is morally wrong as well.
I. Introduction A. Hook I am going to tell you a story about a couple I knew named Hope and Damian (Names have been changed). Hope met Damian March 26, 2004, the courtship was short and in 2 weeks, Hope was living with Damian. The first 3 months of their relationship was wonderful. Damian was a regular Romeo. He bought Hope gifts, plowed her with money so she could go shopping whenever she wanted and he let her go out with her girlfriends whenever she wanted to. Hope was in love and nothing that her parents, two best friends or even what her son said to her, about not liking him mattered. All that mattered was that he loved her and she loved him. That ended on a Saturday night in June, just 3 months later. Hope and Damian went out to eat and Damian had a few drinks. As Hope was driving them home, they started to disagree about something. Hope had a strong will and grew up learning to never, ever let someone disrespect her. She was not a weak woman. Well before they got home, within a very short time frame, Hope had her nose broken. It was so bad that both eyes swelled up immediately and within 3 minutes her eyes were so black and blue, she almost could not drive the rest of the way home. Did she go to the hospital? No, because she was embarrassed. You see Hope came from a family where that stuff just did not happen. She didn’t want the people she loved to know, so she stayed with a friend. That was the first time Hope left. In three days,
