easier or harder?

I think that this assignment is easier for me in a lot of ways than our previous papers. I find that my group gets along really well with one another and we agree on a lot of the same issues. The only thing that is seeming to be difficult right now is that fact that the speech is fifteen minutes long. As of now this seems to be challenge but hopefully once we get started comparing our actual drafts it will start to come together on its own. I enjoy working with my group and I think this is a very interesting assignment. It is going to be challenging to not format this as a usual paper and I think it is going to be hard to word this as a speech and make shorter sentences as opposed to the longer sentences that I am used to writing in my essays.

decision for concession speech

As a group, we decided to choose Sarah Palin for our concession speech. We chose her because we knew we wanted to represent the Republican party, however we feel that McCain is coming close to the end of his political career. Therefore, we feel that by usnig Sarah Palin there would be much more to address in regards to her future political plans and her career in general. We chose to do a serious concessino speech because we all for the most part support Sarah Palin and what she represents and feel that it would be contradictory to do a humorous speech for her. We are going to have her present her speech at the FDR memorial/monument, due to the fact that FDR's wife Elanore was one of the very first strong women political figures. We feel this represents the hope and progression of women in politics and that this will set a good tone for her speech and promoting the feeling of progression of her career in politics.

concession speech

For the assignment of the concession or victory speech, we have decided as a group to probably do a concession speech. Our assignment for class on Tuesday was to watch some concession speeches and get the general idea of what the speeches are about. We were supposed to become familiar with the format and the structure and all around rhetoric of the speeches. We all have similar views politically and I feel that this assignmnet is going to be fun for us as a group to do. It is going to be challenging however because we do not have a lot of time. But I think overall we are giong to have a strong presentation.
