musings for speech 111

another additional weblog post

An interesting thing I have noticed while watching tv, is that during the commercials, I find myself comparing what I have learned about persuasive speeches to the speakers on the commercials. They seem to repeat themselves frequently, which I did not do on my speech, and they talk quickly, which is in part due to the time constraints, and in part due to trying to convince us to -ACT NOW - before we come to our senses and change our mind. Also, whenever I listen to a speaker, such as a tv evangelist, I try to figure if his speech is informative style, of persuasive style. Perhaps, someday I will get over this, but for now it's interesting to commpare. I also wonder if anyone ever yells during their speech.
