This speaking event was a TEDx presentation that had multiple speakers. Mr. Bell was the last speaker that I stayed to evaluate. Bell is a director of many different film documentaries. He used his love for storytelling and curiosity to travel to Mongolia where he and his film crew documented the life of a 13 year old Mongolian girl named Aishol-pan. Belle told very little about himself during the presentation, and made his topic about the documentary’ “The Eagle Huntress.” He told the story of a family that was known for their tradition of eagle hunting. To me learning about the traditions in another culture are interesting, however what made this story stand out was that in the tradition of eagle hunting, the role is only handed down from father to son; women have never inherited the title. The exact opposite happened in the documentary that Bell presented.
With many videos and images of his experiences traveling with the film crew, Bell was able begin his presentation explaining how his life was impacted by flying across the world to basically live with a family in Mongolia that lived the simple life of living off of the land. He used his visual aid well to go along with the story that he was telling. His visual presentation was excellent. The screen was large, and

Because of his curiosity and her courage, a fund was created that helped the Mongolian girl attend college. She will be graduating in 2019 thanks to those who contributed to her education. Bell was able to tell a story that captivated the audience, explain the impact it had on him, and help prepare a better future for the girl. He had smooth transitions throughout his speech that guided the audience into his next point. By using compare and contrast he was able to help the audience understand what the typical life of a typical Mongolian nomadic family was like. It was almost like he took each member in the audience along with
Overall, though the series had some limitations it has showed us how people change, how education matters, and even for those who do not have education still have a chance to survive, have family and enjoy life as they intend it to be. One other aspect that makes the documentary remarkable is also it showed people that family background and environment by their own does not affect your outcome because people’s personhood is different and can evolve through time.
It was so difficult for him to adjust to a different culture, but he tried his best. He wanted to learn a new language, so he had to sacrifice some freedom to fulfill his goal. I think people sacrifices something to go fulfill their dreams. I would like to share one of my memories that remains me one of my own sacrifices. After receiving my high school diploma, I wanted to go to the best university in Bangladesh.
First, The Brook Ellison Story is a movie about a young girl named Brook Ellison, who became paralyzed after being hit by a car on her first day of seventh grade. And though she given little chance of survival, through a combination of sheer will and family support, she has carved out an inspirational life for herself. After scoring 1510 out of a possible 1600 on her College Board entrance exam, Ellison was accepted to Harvard University. With the tireless help of her mother, Jean Marie, who lived with her at Harvard, Brooke graduated in 2000, after completing a 90-page thesis, which she completed using a voice-activated computer, was titled, "Does Hope Float? The Study of Presence of Hope in Resilience."
bell hooks’s essay, "Keeping Close to Home", uses three important components of argument (ethos, pathos, and logos) to support her claim. hooks develops her essay by establishing credibility with her audience, appealing to the reader’s logic, and stirring their emotions. She questions the role a university should play in the life of a nation, claiming that higher education should not tear a student away from his roots, but help him to build an education upon his background.
The TED Talk “Why 30 is not the new 20” by Meg Jay, was a powerful and successful speech. Jay delivers an inspirational message to twenty-year-olds to not waste away important years of their life in an unmeaningful relationship or career. Instead she stresses the importance of searching for a life-long partner sooner rather than later in life. She also talked about taking career risks while still young, because these opportunities will likely be indefeasible later in life. Jay 's main points were very effective in persuading one to consider living by this set of social standards. It is clear that Meg Jay is an experienced public speaker, because of how well the overall presentation was. She does all of the basics perfectly, such as standing
Her slow yet concise way of speaking, coupled with easy to follow transitions allowed for a speech that was enjoyable to listen to. Her use of examples from her personal life allowed her audience to get a picture of who she was if they did not know, and allowed her to better relate to them by provided examples of how she is related to the college they are graduating from. Her reference to many modern political problems allowed her to bring up her important role as an activist and facilitated further understanding from the audience. While some areas of her speech were weak, such as the longer than needed pauses and her lack of consistent eye contact, to a few points where she didn’t speak clearly enough, the overall picture that was her speech was fairly strong. Looking at this speech, I hope to incorporate some aspects that I failed to include in my previous speeches. Some of these include her use of hand gestures to emphasize and exaggerate certain phrases and topics, and her combined use of appeals. While my initial thoughts going in were “This is boring” and “This is too slow”, it evolved into me wanting to hear more, and overall my defeat in the beginning turned into a victory at the
...irmative and presented my ideas based on facts and history. I am mainly a logos type of speaker using very little pathos appeal, only using pathos based on the audience I am presenting to. James Farmer used his pathos appeal to win over the crowd based on his experiences and what was happening at the time to blacks.
Throughout life we go through many stepping stones, Maya Angelou's autobiographical essay "Graduation", was about more than just moving on to another grade. The unexpected events that occurred during the ceremony enabled her to graduate from the views of a child to the more experienced and sometimes disenchanting views of an adult. Upon reading the story there is an initial feeling of excitement and hope which was quickly tarnished with the abrupt awareness of human prejudices. The author vividly illustrates a rainbow of significant mood changes she undergoes throughout the story.
Additionally, she stresses that the values of her childhood helped her to develop respect for different people. Her father influenced her a lot to feel comfortable just the way she is around her hometown; ...
Imagine wanting to do something so badly that you would do anything to achieve it. Now think about how you would feel if everyone around you was telling you that you couldn't follow your dream. This is how Aisholpan feels. In Otto Bell´s documentary, The Eagle Huntress, Aisholpan is trying to break gender barriers and become an eagle huntress. She has been mesmerized by eagles from a young age and is determined to become the first eagle huntress in Mongolia.
The speech has an enormous interest because it is a global issue and it will be a global well-being, if we all, women and men following the same paths within equality, we could end up
In Meagan Spooner’s Hunted, the quote listed above helps validate the theme of being an outsider. The narrator, Beast, describes his longing to find something that could satisfy his lonely needs. He and Yeva are the only humans who are capable of understanding the magic of the forest and the world around them. The two outsiders embrace the music and magic discarded by others as children finding pleasure from it. They also do not conform to their social groups. Yeva enjoys strolling and hunting and avoiding spending time with her family. In addition, she is able to see through hate and resentment, while other humans blindly quarrel amongst each other during conflicts. Similarly, the quote establishes the setting of the story. The Beast and Yeva live in a fantasy world filled with magic and creatures.
