    The effectiveness of a message delivered through public speaking depends greatly on the first impression the audience receives from the presenter himself. To accept a presenter’s argument requires for a certain type of trust to be established between the presenter and the audience. When given the opportunity by Durham University give a series of three-day lectures in 1943, CS Lewis first established to the audience his authority on the various subjects found through his discussion, such as moral value and human nature. But Lewis understood that his expertise alone would not be enough to convince the Durham audience to trust him and his message, so the beginning of his lectures also centered around sentiments which were relevant for the audience.…

    Cornell West defiantly made an impact on some of us who were at his speech last Thursday. He spoke about some of the controversies going on in today’s society as well as using past examples to reference. About a few weeks back, he was arrested for speaking out in Ferguson and its unbelievable VCU was able to have such a motivational speaker like him to come. Being a history and African American studies major, this really got me thinking; he asked us, “What kind of human beings will we choose to be.” as well as discussing the racial problems going in the justice system, as well as in the education world.…

The course has introduced me to rhetorical analysis, and swatching (imitating author argument). Throughout the semester and all of the papers written I can say that it was a good experience to write at a college level and the expectation from college professors is good for future courses that involve writing essays.…
