Response to speech presentations

1) which did you find most persuasive?
there were many speeches that stood out to me. for example a couple of my favorite was Talas, Sara A , Mikhail, Dahlias, and my most favorite was Byannes. all of the speeches mentioned above i found was presented very well, and had a lot of effort put into them, both with the content and topic of the speeches as well as the presentation.
but the one which i liked listening to the most was Byannes as mentioned above. the topic that she was talking about was what appealed to me the most.
2) why? inspiring delivery? topic? etc...
as mentioned, the topic byanne used was about the war and conflict in palestine. since im palestinian myself, i could relate to what she was talking about, since i am myself inspired about it as well, and was completely on her side. i feel like she used so many beautiful metaphors to describe what is happening there, the torture, the mistreatment, and the way in which the children and their mothers are suffering. she used a perfect tone of voice and seemed to be very into it while she was talking. i feel like the audience was drawn to her speech because of all the vocabulary she used, and all the strong words in her descriptions.
3) what did you do well?
i feel like i did really well in my delivery. i received positive comments after i was done that i had presented it very clearly, and i seemed very interested in the topic as i was talking which is what makes a speech seem the best. i think i was confident during my presentation, and i had very good eye contact even though i haven't completely memorized my speech, but i tried to make as much eye contact as i could since that is what makes the speech stand out more, and doesn't make it seem boring if i kept looking down at my paper.
4) what could you have done better?
i think that i was abit too stiff during my delivery, because i was just standing in one place and my legs were in the same place as well. if i used more hand gestures or had changed my posture every now and then it might have been a little better.
