Pick one concept from the assigned reading that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
I think that the whole chapter was very interesting but the part I thought was most useful was the part about reasoning. I think that this section of the book was most helpful because it has a lot to do with what we are about to do. Reasoning played a big part in the videos we had to watch this week. Both speakers had to use reasoning to say whether home schooling was good or bad. If not then they’re argument would not have been believable. Our next speech is a persuasive one so reasoning will be needed in order to persuade the class on a specific topic. I will use a lot of reasoning to persuade the class on why they should all be or lowering the drinking age to eighteen. By giving reasoning, you help your speech to become more credible. In order to persuade someone they have to have reasons as to why they should or should not do what you are trying to persuade them to do. The book gave different types of reasoning and showed the strengths and weaknesses of both which was very helpful. Overall the chapter was very helpful and I will take what I learned and apply it to my next speech.

I agree this chapter reading was very helpful with what we will have to be doing for this persuasive speech coming up. The speaker needs to have good reasoning for why they want the audience believe and do what he or she wants them to do. Also having good reasoning in your speech helps build your credibility and increases the chance that the audience will be persuaded to you point of view. I also found it interesting the different types of reasoning and the examples of each one. Another thing I think is interesting are the positive and negatives of each type of reasoning. I always think it’s interesting how one type of thing might appeal in one situation and how a different type of thing might appeal in that same situation.
