Tap Water Persuasive Speech
First of all, I like how you approached your speech with the visual of a reusable water bottle, asking the question immediately grabbing the audience attention ‘By a show of hands, how many of you own and regularly use some sort of reusable water bottle like the one in front of me?’ That is something I wish I could have done different, some type of visual item to grab the audience attention even more. I thought your argument was well presented but I thought you did not really give the students a good enough reason to how it will benefit them. Have to keep in mind that students are more interested in things that benefit them in a huge degree. It seems as if you were just stating the problems it brings when wasting an excessive number of plastic bottles and the changes it will bring in the world if we used reusable bottles, that part I thought you did very well. …show more content…
The statistics you provided kept me engaged in the speech which is a bonus but maybe you could have grabbed the audience attention again in the middle of your speech with a question or maybe just stating one of your stats with a high aggressive tone. One thing I also think you could have done better is how you included your fallacies, you really just added them in your conclusion but I think you could have squeezed at least one of them in the middle of the speech rather than stating them back to back in your conclusion. All in all I thought it was a successful

    Today, we enjoy a greater modicum of freedom that some of our ancestors could've only dreamed of. However, as we all know, freedom is, quite ironically, not free. Our ancestors all had to escape oppression, whether it be from a tyrannous ruler or a society that demeaned them to nothing because of the color of their skin or their gender. America, the land of opportunity, was a land built by the labours of our forefathers. These men and women fought so valiantly not only to ensure their freedom, but also the freedom of the future generations ahead of them. Even today, although we may not realize it, when we fight for a cause that we are dedicated to, we are not only cementing our futures, but the futures of those ahead of us. It is a quote from…

    Why buy an American made vehicles you ask? I’ll tell you why because buying American made vehicles creates American made jobs. Everyone knows that American made vehicle’s make a distinctive sound. Take for instance the Ford mustang and the Chevy corvette. Who doesn’t like the sound of these vehicles or design?

    Today we are crossing the Kansas River to reach Alcone Springs. We still have a long way but it takes about 15 minutes to cross so I thought i would sit down and write about our past 3 days. It cost $1 to use the Pappin Ferry to get across. Our rope has been really good so far and haven't fixed it. On the 19th Grace got a spring cold which I got really worried because i don't know where a General store is ahead and if we run out of medicine right now… it will be bad. Other then that, much hasn't happened besides getting sick. The journey is doing good so far, lots of walking and stopping but what can you do.…

    You need to stay as hydrated as possible. You are probably getting nauseous from dehydration, which is exacerbated by the heat. Headache and nausea are common symptoms of dehydration. They are best identified by the way that movement seems to aggravate them and make the pain worse. Take breaks from the sun, and apply SPF 30 every half hour. Wear sunglasses as well. Avoid using milk, drinks with a lot of sugar, carbonated drinks, coffee, or fruit juices when treating dehydration, because these drinks can induce diarrhea or vomiting. I wouldn’t rely on herbal medicine instead get yourself checked in nearby local…

    Most college students would have the same thought process as you. They would immediately say "no way! I love my soda", this is unfortunately how the majority of America is like. If we are to change, we have to really put forth the effort for more than a day. A lot of people actually know of the risks of drinking soda but they don't do anything about it, most people treat it as if it's nothing until they start getting signals. People need to start seeing that other campuses and businesses are removing soda from their buildings as a red flag as you said. If it has been a concern for so long and such a big concern that businesses are starting to remove it, it means it's probably really bad for you. I feel like our best solution is to slowly back…
