Speak N' Spell

What makes a speech or meeting story interest? How can a writer prepare?

A speech is always interesting because it can change how an audience feels about a certain topic like the Gettysburg address. That speech had so much content in so few words. It can motivate a group to go out and win something, like Herb Brooks’ speech before the 1980 USA Hockey team went out and beat the almost unbeatable Russians in the Olympics. A speech can bring a country together like President FDR’s speech after the bombing of Pearl Harbor just two days after the bombing on December 7,1945 to adjust to war time and slip out of an economic depression.

Speeches can do so much in so little time. A few words can really affect its listeners and change the world around them. A writer can only prepare by a few things. They need to look at the topic they are speaking on. When President Obama is having is speeches written for him, you would think he would have glance once or twice on the topic. Another thing a writer can do is writing from your heart. Don’t beat around the bush and talk about what you think your audience wants to hear. Just say what you feel, and hope that you are getting your message out clearly.

Speeches are made interesting by how they are done. You need to have passion in your speech. They are given interest to the prominence of the topic like President Obama speaking on the Middle East as the crisis over there is happening and not a few months after. People want to hear what people in power think of the subject. In addition, the words of the speech mean a lot to how you can persuade or not persuade the audience. Lastly, they are important if you enjoy the person or topic. You would care more about a speech President Obama is giving if you are into politics and would not care as much if Celtics coach Doc Rivers was giving a speech on the team if you are not much of a basketball fan.

In conclusion, speeches are interesting because it gives the people a chance to hear what the actual person speaking has to say.
