"There was with General Washington, during most of the summer, a Seneca chief, called The Great Tree, who, on leaving the head-q

uarters of the Commander-in-chief, professed the strongest friendship for the American cause, and his first object, after his return to his own people, was to inspire them with his own friendly sentiments. While passing through the Oneida nation on his way home, he professed the strongest confidence in his ability to keep his own tribe bound in the chain of friendship, and pledged himself, in the event of his failure, to come down with his friends and adherents and join the Oneidas. Early in October [1778], Mr. Dean, the Indian interpreter and agent in the Oneida territory, . . .had despatched messengers to the Seneca country, who had returned with unfavorable intelligence. It was stated, that on his arrival in his own country, The Great Tree found his tribe all in arms. The warriors had been collected from the remotest of their lodges, and were then thronging the two principal towns, Kanadaseago and Jennesee. Having heard that the Americans were preparing an expedition against their country, they had flown to arms; and The Great Tree was himself determined to chastise the enemy who should dare to penetrate his country. The Oneida messengers were farther told that all the Indians west of their own tribe, including, of course, the Onondagas, together with the Indian settlements on the Susquehanna and its branches, were to join them. They were to rendezvous somewhere on the Tioga, and make a descent either upon the Pennsylvania or New Jersey frontier."

How important are the principle of speech delivery in real life situation?​
goblinko [34]

Hey! I'm not sure if the principles of speech are universally recognized, but these 7 are mentioned in a popular article by amanet.org:

  • Perception
  • Perfection
  • Visualization
  • Discipline
  • Description
  • Inspiration
  • Anticipation

If this isn't what you're talking about, I apologize; hopefully my answer can still help you:

  • Perception - Think of this as your ego (its abundance or its lack); a big trait in public speaking/speech delivery in general is focusing solely on the topic of the speech. When you start worrying about the effectiveness of your delivery, that worry is recognizable and makes you less authentic.
  • Perfection - "Perfection" is kinda the same thing, with emphasis on not over-thinking the small mistakes you might make.
  • Visualization - If your audience can't visualize the ideas you're presenting, they'll quickly lose interest/get lost.  
  • Discipline - Practicing/experience (obviously) makes you a better, calmer presenter.
  • Description - Methods like "painting pictures" in your audience's heads/using rhetorical appeals to build a solid foundation for your claims is super important.  
  • Inspiration - Speak to inspire, not to aimlessly stuff your audience with weak, boring, cliche ideas.
  • Anticipation - Try to withhold key ideas for a little bit/linger on other information to create the feeling of suspense; when you create long-lasting interest, you become a more memorable speaker.

Hopefully I was of some help!

His biggest struggle is against his own fears and real or imagined external threats.
