Response to persuasive speeches

1. & 2. I found Khalil's speech most persuasive. His way of talking showed dominance and control, and anyone would prefer siding with the confident person who knows what he's talking about. He used a lot of metaphors- my favourite being bargaining with the Angel of Death. I also liked his real life examples, especially the one about the woman who killed her sons, because people could relate to it more (it had an element of pathos and logos in it).

3. I think my favourite part of my speech was my last line- "Determination and drive of the priviledged will destroy the desperation of the destitute and what is deserved will be accomplished so stay dedicated to this dream so that the disarray is disencumbered.
" because of the alliteration. In the movie V for Vendetta, the character 'V' uses this technique, making what he says really interesting. Because of the rhythm and also because the message was very blunt and to the point, I felt it was very powerful.

4. I, however, didn't deliver that line the way I wanted to and was unable to control my tone,pace and pauses, in not only that occasion, but all throughout the speech & I think this will require me getting used to the audience and being able to feel at ease.
