Rhetoric and Spirit Detecting Devices
Name: Jamie Fields
Topic: Spirits and Detection Devices
Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech the audience will be persuaded to believe in spirits and purchase spirit-detecting devices. Thesis Statement: Today I will persuade you to support the idea of there being spirits and to own spirit-detecting devices.
Introduction:
Attention Getter: How many people in this classroom have had the misfortune of having a loved one pass away? How many of you feel at times that said loved one is still with you? Have you ever thought in the possibility that, in fact, they are still here?
Relate Topic: Everyone in this classroom has the opportunity to find out whether your loved ones are still here by using technology that allow you to interact with your passed loved ones. Digital cameras, EVP’s, heat-censored cameras, etc. are all different types of technology that have proven the existence of spirits.
Credibility: The information in my speech came from: www.ghoststudy.com, www.livescience.com, www.skeptoid.com, www.fansofrealitytv.com, and an interview with John Cults.
Thesis Statement: Today I will persuade you to support the idea of there being spirits and to purchase spirit-detecting devices.
