    Today, I learned what it means to exhibit energy and enthusiasm whenever I present to the audience. It was made clear to me the meaning of enthusiasm, which is an exceptional excitement, interest, or devotion expressed through and in the way words is used. If I have excitement about the subject, it will make my speech come alive and therefore captures the attention of my audience. I also learned that enthusiasm could be reflected in my facial expression, voice, gestures and the words I use, while I need energy, zeal to exhibit these enthusiasms. With this I have learned, from now on, the way I present would definitely be different from what it use to be because “nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm”- Ralph Waldo Emerson.…

While some are advocating for healthier lunch options for students, others would prefer that lunch options stay fairly the same to offer a more diverse selection of foods.

Just in one school the systematic arrangement of the lunch ladies and the policies set in place are just tiny specs of a much larger picture.

Bezos spoke about how the homeowner must be having one of the worst days of her life: “she was standing outside in the pouring rain, under an umbrella, in her pajamas, barefoot, while her house was in flames.” This makes the audience feel sorry for the unfortunate circumstance of the homeowner, and creates a clear picture of her sorrow. He also, uses the same technique when talking about the despair of getting to the scene a whole 5 seconds after “Lex Luthor”, his nemesis, making the audience feel sorry for him. Lastly, Bezos also used the ethos technique within his presentation, as since he is a firefighter (an authority figure), the audience finds his story easily credible.…
