1) I think the most effective speech that was presented throughout the week was Khalil's. There are a few reasons. First of all, Khalil had a very smooth, persuasive tone that altered in pitch level every time he wanted to convey an important point. This enabled the listener to sink in deeper into the speech and therefore get persuaded/inspired more. Secondly, Khalil found a very effective way of incorporating real life stories into his speech which had an affect over the emotions of the audience and aided in inspiring and persuading them to support his cause. The use of elaborate metaphors (which will be discussed later) and repetition further enhanced the overall delivery of the speech.
2) Question ONE pretty much answered this question, but I would like to add on more about the literary and rhetorical techniques that Khalil used in his speech. There were quite a few powerful metaphors used in the speech. But, the most powerful and extraordinary metaphor was the one about "Making a deal with the angel of death and end up paying him in misery". This was probably the climax of Khalil's speech and had a very strong effect on me which completely convinced me to support his cause. The topic was also very relevant in today's society. The reasons behind it controversy are no further than basic human ethics and nature of our emotions.
3) I think the best thing that I did in my speech was the use of humour that kept the audience with me throughout the speech and the numerous list of advantages that the uniforms brought to the wearer, which according to Ms Dellapa, was close to brainwashing the audience into supporting my cause.
4) The first thing I could have done to improve my speech is NOT to break into laughter half way through it. Ok, now lets look at some serious improvements. Next time, I would like to increase the number of literary techniques used in my speech. Even though I had a few, I feel a necessity of having more. Second of all, I would like to touch on more rhetorical devices. My speech about uniforms was mostly Logos based, therefore I would like to bring more Ethos and Pathos into my work the next time.
