Speech Outline Speech Title: “Click It or Ticket” General Purpose: To persuade my audience on why wearing a seat belt remains important.

Asking for mercy requires the murderer to enter his enemy’s guestroom holding his dagger with a piece of white cloth tied to its blade. “If he enters before his enemy kills him, he then must crawl under one of the string beds in the room.” He calls out from there, “Kill me!
