Three speech reflection
Pericles Funeral Oration: This speech stood out in my mind because of how old it was, but not just that, I was surprised by how well thought out it was. The speaker seemed to command the audience with his tone. He met the audiences needs after he told them what their needs should be. This speech is an early example of what it means to be a leader, Pericles was a leader and his words were a clear representation of his natural ability to lead.
Pattons D Day Speech: The most memorable part of this speech was the language used by General Patton. Another thing that impressed me was the calmness that Patton showed on the eve before battle, talking to men who were going to die or be injured. Finally the values he expresses are great, courage, bravery, and honor. Patton says the right thing at the right time.
Ronald Reagan Farewell Speech: The Emotion that President Reagan showed was genuine. The way he can talk to a video camera and it seems like he is talking to you, there is no other speaker deserving of the title the great communicator. His modesty is what makes him so believable, he says we more than I and it makes the audience feel included and proud to be an American.
I completed the Lincoln and Pericles Forum, MLK I have been to the mountain top vs. mosses, Communist manifesto forum, and the Ho Reagan won the cold War Forum.
I also attended the Debate on violent video games.
