Space Shuttle Challenger Tragedy Analysis
For the first speech I decided to analyze the “Space Shuttle Challenger Tragedy Address from president Ronald Reagan. This speech was pretty easy to identify if it was an informative or persuasive speech. The president was addressing the nation to inform them about a tragedy that had taken place the very same day. From reading through this week’s lesson, I would say that concept President Reagan used was speaking to entertain. The lesson stated this type of informative was used for speeches at occasions like ceremonies, wedding, funerals, and often used as remembrances speeches. It only seems fit that this type of speech is what President Reagan gave on that day.
For the second speech, I decided go with another speech by President Reagan. Not

    Justin Trudeau's Speech

    What constitutes a great and memorable speech? Following the recent results of the October 19th federal election in Canada, two major speeches were delivered – Justin Trudeau’s victory speech and Steven Harper’s defeat speech. Just as with President Barack Obama’s 2008 victory speech ("Top 10 Presidential Addresses of All Time"), people with political preference may rank one of the two speeches more highly solely due to the identity of the speaker. Thankfully however, Lifehack provides some invaluable insights on the basic factors of a memorable public address. According to the website, imagery increases the effectiveness of a strong public speech, as does connection with the audience and persuasive, powerful statements. Taking those factors into account will help in evaluating both Trudeau’s and Harper’s speeches with a minimal amount of political bias.…

    Ronald Reagan’s Address to the Nation on the Challenger is a great example of good public speaking. Reagan uses great language throughout the speech and puts people in a better mood about a very tragic event in American history. Throughout the speech he addresses the majority of the population and thanks people who were involved in helping the space shuttle reach space. His use of all these elements is why I personally love this speech and think it is a great speech for anyone to…

    When I watched my presentation, I saw how I started with a strong introduction with a rhetorical question. I by saying “Who would you call? What would you do? How would you handle the situation? All these questions may be hard for you to answer in your crisis. I got the answer to clean up the mess you got yourself into.” Also, I give the audience a vision by saying “Let’s say your life is being broadcast all over the media or maybe even your company. We all know One of your biggest fears would be getting caught in a scandal or having a bad rep.” You got all part of my introduction to the greeting, thesis, credibility, and overview. I also, had the personality to my speech when talking you could see how enthusiastic I was to the audience. This made my speech be interesting and not dull and my voice a great projectile for everyone in the class to hear. In my speech, I had great eye contact so I had the attention, keen interest, and understanding for my classmates. None verbal communication is “Behaviors, symbols, attributes, or objects—whether intended or not—that communicate messages with social meaning.” In my body of my speech, I provided information in chronically order as my overview. I give great information about the education requirements, job outlook, and Pros and…

    Informative Speech: Are We Too Persuasive?

    One speech stuck with me as it included lots of pathos, also known as, “emotional appeals” (349). While pathos is usually reserved for persuasive speeches, the speaker attacked a topic other than the one he was informing the audience on. He bent the parameters of the speech guidelines to gain the audience’s attention, but overall was better able to inform because of it.…
