My Life
General Purpose- To inform
Specific Purpose- To inform the audience about my life
Thesis Statement- To inform the audience about my life by explaining my love for Clemson football, my love for my iPhone, and my habit of dipping tobacco.
I. INTRODUCTION
A. I brought this nifty McDonalds bag with me today, as its will reveal to you a little bit about my life. We all have things that we like or love in life. It doesn’t really matter if it’s something big, or small, as long as it makes you happy.
B. Today I am going to tell you about the three things that are in the bag, and how they fit into my life.
II. BODY
A. Clemson football
i. Clemson football is a very big part of my life. My dad gets season tickets every year to all the Clemson home games, so we usually end up going to most all of them. I think my first time going to a game was around the age of six, so I have been going my entire life. ii. I of course was at the Georgia game this weekend. If you didn’t get to see it, it was a great game, as the tigers prevailed 38-35. I got there around 3:30p.m to tailgate and “get ready for the game”. That is one thing I love is the pregame festivities. iii. As you are probably starting to see, I am somewhat of what you’d call a diehard fan. No, I don’t have an orange car or anything, but I do keep up with them a good bit. I get on tigernet.com to keep up with what the teams doing and recruiting. I’ve had to chill out from letting my emotions get the best of me during the game. Back in the day when I was 15 or so, a tiger win or loss would make or break my week. Needless to say I am a happy guy this week.
B. My iPhone
i. My iPhone is very important to me, I go nowhere without it. I’m always on It fiddling around, getting on the internet reading things, and getting on social media networks ( yes, I have a Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) ii. It is pretty convenient for listening to music which
