Speeches

Below is a transcript of a speech I delivered on the burqa ban in France.  The purpose of this speech was to inspire the audience, in this case my classmates, to take action against the racism going on in France.  This speech was strong because it followed Monroe's motivated sequence.  It began by grabbing the audience's attention with a surprising fact and then went on to describe the problem in detail.  Then a solution was presented, and I described how it would work.  I also addressed the doubt that the solution would not make a difference and ended the speech on a positive note by reminding the audience of past accomplishments in history.
