The audience for a speech is immediately present, right in front of the speaker, while readers are absent, removed". This statement is said by Warld Ong. The spontaneity we feel while giving or listening to a speech is what makes us choose it rather than reading or writing a text. Even more to that point is mentioned in Dylan Dryer 's article when he stated" Speech employs an extensive array of modalities unavailable to writing: gesture, expression, pacing, register, silence, and clarifications all of which are instantaneously responsive to listeners ' verbal and nonverbal feedback. Even though this difference affects on getting the full understanding of what is written, writing can be better than giving a speech in some way. Before the text …show more content…
So, he chooses a subject through which he tries to get some objectives. Unlike the speech that sometimes does not contain any purpose especially if it is in a family or friends daily conversation. The writer 's goals might be expanding a reader 's culture, summarizing numbers of books or bringing the entertainment to the audience. So, the writer diffidently has a goal beyond his text. Second, the writer considers a certain style and language he is going to use. He makes his decision according to the created audience. This is against the spontaneous speech in which the receivers might vary in age and level of education or interests. The writer frames his thoughts clearly and explicitly. The writer does not stop at this point but he revises the ideas, words and form. Moreover, some writers prefer to give themselves time before they revise the text. All these phases and steps are to make sure that the readers get the exact meaning. This is similar to what Charls Bazerman said in his article" readers share only the words to which each separately attribute the meaning". After all that, the target audience usually get just the writer 's major
The various forms of written mediums require a specific style to portray a response to an audience. A speech can be regarded as a performance of written work, such that words are arranged in a chosen way, allowing a listener to understand what the speaker is saying. Gillard’s speech tends to draw upon Herrick’s (2005) idea that rhetoric is seen as a tool to respond to a situation or
Understanding the importance of audience to rhetoric, it is crucial to evaluate the role of audience in terms of writing. According to Ong, a speaker’s audience is different from writer’s audience. In reality, he opines that the term ‘audience’ is improper with reference to reading and writing. In Ong’s view ‘audience’ signifies a collective unit, whereas readers are not, since reading is an individualistic function. The printed information is processed at their own speed, time and interpreted differently by the readers. Whereas a speaker has the privilege to observe the audience, hence provides context to the situation. Here, Ong believes that words gain significance through context. The writer is faced with the challenge to fictionalize the audience. According to Ong, every type of audience can be fictionalized to a degree, including a speaker’s audience. He goes on explaining how letters and diaries demonstrate that all audiences are to some extent fictionalized. Ong concludes by drawing the example that in reality regardless of the relationships everyone wears a mask. Masks are very common and accepted in the reader/writer relationship, consequently the obligation for writers to fictionalize a role for readers, and for readers to acknowledge that role chosen by the
As we have learned already, the author of a text has a purpose. This purpose may be to inform, entertain or to persuade, among many other purposes. In order to determine the author purpose one must first know what it is that they are reading. If you are reading a textbook, the author wants to inform you. If you are reading a story, the author wants to entertain you. If you are reading a brochure or speech, the author wants to persuade you.
On April 30, 1789, George Washington took the oath to become president and gave an inaugural speech. He gave the speech at Federal Hall in New York City (“George”). Observes said he had looked like he would rather be facing cannon and musket fire then taking the political helm of the country (“George”). When giving the speech, he wore a plain brown broadcloth suit holding a ceremonial army sword (“George”). George Washington’s Inaugural Speech paved the way for the United States government to function as an independent country.
In the course of A Dream Fulfilled: The Story of Barack Obama, Barack Obama delivers three important speeches. One important speech Obama delivers is “A struggl that demands we choose sides. Not between rich and poor. Not between black and white, It’s a choice between fairness and injustice: A choice between right and wrong.” Found in page 41. Another key speech of Obama’s is the one he delivers in the 2004 Democratic National Convention when he speaks about what he stands for and what he hopes to do for the United States. He says, “ In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation; the belief in things not seen, the belief that there are better days ahead...I believe that we have a righteous wind at our backs and that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make right choices, and meet the challenge that face us.” Finally, Obama delivers an important speech at his 2005 Senetor Election, he speaks on his plans for Illinois and what he believes he could help with as he says, “ Where I can probably make me a unique contribution is in helping to bring people together-black and white, rich or poor, even conservative and liberal.”

Ever since the fall, mankind has had a voracious desire for power and influence. People witness this desire within the walls of the Capitol Building when the media exposes backroom deals. It also springs up whenever a politician uses a podium to persuade people that he makes the world work. Politicians possibly rely on persuasion because they crave the power. However, persuasion is a manipulative, unBiblical tactic of forcing others to accept a point of view by all means necessary.
I would like to open with a quote from Charles Swindoll. It reads, “life is 10% of what happens and 90% of how you react to it.” I am a firm believer of this statement because there will always be things out of your control, but your reaction will always be up to you. As for the positive experiences, those are the ones you cherish most, but the negatives are what teach you the most. After listening to my speech, I want you to understand how both the positive and negative experiences in my life have benefitted me. I was able to develop significant skills and relationships through the major events in my life.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and can tell a thousand tales. Just what exactly is this saying? (Visual of a bad snap shot… finger in shot)
Public speaking is one of the most under rated skills learned in school, yet is one of the most valuable. The way you communicate shows a lot about you, and can influence other’s opinions of you. In every profession communicatiis important. Good communication skills, no matter what you plan to do in life, will help you out greatly and improve your chances against a harsh job market. I am majoring in Business Administration and Law, and communication is one of the biggest parts of business and law, yet communication is hardly ever taught in business classes for my major. I think that a communications class like public speaking, for example, should be not just for a college class, but taught in high school and middle school as well. I believe several classes would allow anyone to become an expert speaking. The only way to fully learn public speaking is to get up in front of people and talk to them. One can not learn public speaking from a book.
Oral language development is the foundation of learning to read and write. When we first make our big entrance into the world, our oral language starts developing. As we grow up, we hear all kinds of sounds such as words, songs, traffic and much more. Oral language is all about using spoken words to express knowledge, ideas, and feelings. According to an article called “Stay at Home Educators” oral language plays a tremendous role for literacy development. There are four great examples that they discuss in this article that I thought was very informative. Oral language helps develop vocabulary concepts. When students discover the meaning and pronunciation of words, they are understanding different types of speech.
Speaker Credibility: Has anyone seen the Documentary film called “An Inconvenient Truth”? I was amazed at how the earth was rapidly changing for the worse. This is why I choose this topic, to learn more about climate changes and inform everyone here about the climate change.
Speech is vitally important for a variety of reasons. I believe that our words can increase or decrease our level of happiness or even have a positive or negative effect towards our future. Speech helps us as a society to resolve issues in a respectful manner; it helps us get important points across and convey messages, it also helps us structure our ways of communicating. The importance of speech is giving us the ability to make situations more...
Many people believe that leadership is simply being the first, biggest or most powerful. Leadership in organizations has a different and more meaningful definition. A leader is someone who sets direction in an effort or task and influences or motivates people to follow that direction. The power point presentation explains leadership is the influence that particular individuals exert on the goal achievement of others in an organizational context.
