Meanwhile, Mary states her purposed purpose, which is to end the silence concerning the HIV and AIDS epidemic. Within the body of Mary’s speech she presents both pathos and ethos. Mary mentions that she is a HIV positive victim, and how the…

During this speech, Fisher elaborates on the topic of AIDS and speaks to her audience about the effects of society’s preconceptions.
