Tribute Speech Formal Outline
Zachary Biermaier
MC#1238
9/7/13
Speech Topic: Isaiah (cousin)
General Purpose: A tribute to Isaiah
Specific Purpose: To convince the audience about how great of a person Isaiah is.
Thesis: Isaiah has shown me that no matter how bad a situation gets, I always have hope, and can rejoice in God’s plan.
Arrangement: Categorical
Introduction
“People tell me I’m kind of a big deal”. This phrase is something that my cousin, Isaiah, always says. He is joking when he says it, but I completely agree with him. Isaiah has been my very best friend for as long as I can remember. We are inseparable, and always have great time together. You know the saying for two people that spend a lot time together, that goes something like, “they bring the best out of each other”. Well for Isaiah and I we usually bring out the weird and crazy in each other. This is probably why we get along so well. Isaiah is also a great person to go to in times of hard ship.
(I want to illustrate how Isaiah has done this by telling you about three different situations that Isaiah has gotten me through.)
