Speech Comm

201--2nd period

It's Thursday, you know the drill.

*** *** *** *** ***

301--3rd period

So? Speeches? Rhetoric? Power? Shep...you had a really good observation yesterday. Elaborate for the class.

Oh, and if I don't start getting some coffee out of you, I'm going to get cranky. You can't spoil me for a few days then stop Boone. That's just mean.

Shep looks up when he hears his name. "What that rhetoric is boring as dry toast?"

"No." she sighs, exasperated. "That the emotional appeal is tied to time and place and audience."

"Oh yeah, that. What you said. These 'powerful speeches' were all that and a bag of chips when people were all worked up about whatever the people were speechifying about. But a speech on... say the pros or cons of the Vietnam War is just... well, rhetorical now, because the war is over and there's nothing to get us all worked up about."

Just when CJ thinks he's done, he adds in, "Which leads me back to 'boring as dry toast.'
