Summary:
Book one is mainly about speaking and He talked about how you must speak with wisdom and eloquence to be heard and for it to be worthy speech. He also went into the goods and evils of speaking. He also talked about being persuasive and how there has been good that comes out of persuasion. You must draw in your audience.
I also read the speech The Morality of Birth Control where it talks about the different views and the three groups of society. It talks about how women should have the right to use it and that it should help regulate population. The steps are to one have the backing of the audience and two to give the right of population control.
Analysis:
I believe that defining if a speech is “beautiful” or not is determined by the listener. Everyone has their own tastes that is what makes us individuals. For me personally it’s not always about the content of the speech as it is about the way it is presented. Also I am going to find a speech better if I enjoy the topic than if I don’t care about it. What makes a “beautiful” speech?
In the speech I read I also have mixed feeling about not only if it was a ”good’ speech but also with the content. I believe the speech could have elaborated more and found more pros and cons of birth control
You said, “For me personally it’s not always about the content of the speech as it is about the way it is presented.” Does this mean someone like Adolf Hitler, a brilliant and eloquent public speaker, could persuade you to follow him and believe in the causes he did?
