Question: Pick one concept from the assigned reading that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
After reading chapter 15 I read something that I would hardly think to be something of importance in the past. I learned how the topics of a persuasive speech are broken up in different ideas. What I mean by this is that the argument is not something that is one sentence and is only used to prove that. I learned about a premise – something that gives a reason to support a conclusion. In English, I’m learning that your thesis is broken up in sub-thesis’s to provide a fluid argument or claim. I find it the same concept in public speaking. I’m coming to terms that the more I understand in the structure of a speech, the more I feel like I can better deliver it. I hope to bring in premises into my persuasive speech. I want to create different points to why hazing should not be used at all. I feel if I can make premises about my topic I can create a more effective and bite size speech for my audience.

I find that I’m having a similar experience with my Critical Thinking and Decision Making class. We’re learning all about how to argue and build an argument with a premise and conclusion. It’s interesting how the Communication and English classes all intersect and relate to each other. I remember that when we went over arguments, supporting ideas and purpose, it was almost at the same time as we were going over the chapters with this class. I’m glad these thing translate well with each other and intertwine because it is easier to understand when there is something to relate it to.
