Why does Krakauer cite these letters? How does citing them add to or detract from the text?​

English
1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

To create examples for reader.

Explanation:

As explanations for the audience, Krakauer cites certain letters such that they might visually understand whatever the Alaskans would have to tell. Citing this relates to the script also because audience now provides real examples of what was claimed by Alaskans.

Which of the following is the primary goal of a thesis statement?
otez555 [7]

Before any work can be done on crafting the body of your speech or presentation, you must first do some prep work—selecting a topic, formulating a purpose statement, and crafting a thesis statement. In doing so, you lay the foundation for your speech by making important decisions about what you will speak about and for what purpose you will speak. These decisions will influence and guide the entire speechwriting process, so it is wise to think carefully and critically during these beginning stages.

I think reading is important in any form. I think a person who’s trying to learn to like reading should start off reading about a topic they are interested in, or a person they are interested in. ~ Ice Cube

Questions for Selecting a Topic

What important events are occurring locally, nationally and internationally?

What do I care about most?

Is there someone or something I can advocate for?

What makes me angry/happy?

What beliefs/attitudes do I want to share?

Is there some information the audience needs to know?

Selecting a Topic

“The Reader” by Shakespearesmonkey. CC-BY-NC.

Generally, speakers focus on one or more interrelated topics—relatively broad concepts, ideas, or problems that are relevant for particular audiences. The most common way that speakers discover topics is by simply observing what is happening around them—at their school, in their local government, or around the world. This is because all speeches are brought into existence as a result of circumstances, the multiplicity of activities going on at any one given moment in a particular place. For instance, presidential candidates craft short policy speeches that can be employed during debates, interviews, or town hall meetings during campaign seasons. When one of the candidates realizes he or she will not be successful, the particular circumstances change and the person must craft different kinds of speeches—a concession speech, for example. In other words, their campaign for presidency, and its many related events, necessitates the creation of various speeches. Rhetorical theorist Lloyd Bitzer[1] describes this as the rhetorical situation. Put simply, the rhetorical situation is the combination of factors that make speeches and other discourse meaningful and a useful way to change the way something is. Student government leaders, for example, speak or write to other students when their campus is facing tuition or fee increases, or when students have achieved something spectacular, like lobbying campus administrators for lower student fees and succeeding. In either case, it is the situation that makes their speeches appropriate and useful for their audience of students and university employees. More importantly, they speak when there is an opportunity to change a university policy or to alter the way students think or behave in relation to a particular event on campus.

But you need not run for president or student government in order to give a meaningful speech. On the contrary, opportunities abound for those interested in engaging speech as a tool for change. Perhaps the simplest way to find a topic is to ask yourself a few questions. See the textbox entitled “Questions for Selecting a Topic” for a few questions that will help you choose a topic.

There are other questions you might ask yourself, too, but these should lead you to at least a few topical choices. The most important work that these questions do is to locate topics within your pre-existing sphere of knowledge and interest. David Zarefsky[2] also identifies brainstorming as a way to develop speech topics, a strategy that can be helpful if the questions listed in the textbox did not yield an appropriate or interesting topic.

Starting with a topic you are already interested in will likely make writing and presenting your speech a more enjoyable and meaningful experience. It means that your entire speechwriting process will focus on something you find important and that you can present this information to people who stand to benefit from your speech.

Once you have answered these questions and narrowed your responses, you are still not done selecting your topic. For instance, you might have decided that you really care about conserving habitat for bog turtles. This is a very broad topic and could easily lead to a dozen different speeches. To resolve this problem, speakers must also consider the audience to whom they will speak, the scope of their presentation, and the outcome they wish to achieve. If the bog turtle enthusiast knows that she will be talking to a local zoning board and that she hopes to stop them from allowing businesses to locate on important bog turtle habitat, her topic can easily morph into something more specific. Now, her speech topic is two-pronged: bog turtle habitat and zoning rules.

Speeches that are researched and planned ahead of time, although the exact wording is not scripted and will vary from presentati
Romashka [77]

Answer:

They are called Extemporaneous Speeches

Explanation:

There are four various types of speech making. Namey:

  • Impromptu  speech
  • Manuscript  speech
  • Extemporaneous  speech
  • Memorized speech

1.  Impromptu Speech: This is the kind of speech you give when you are 100% unprepared for it. For example, you are at your best friend's bridal shower and you are asked to say a couple of things about the couple (pun intended), you'd immediately feel some pressure, not just about the words to say, but saying it rightly, conveying the right message and leaving everyone more cheerful at the end than when you started.

So for an impromptu speech, the speaker under this kind of delivery will most likely engage the audience from his or her reservoir of knowledge and if they are quick on their feet, are able to make up points and deliver them as they go. Some of the techniques which aid great impromptu delivery are:

  • Pace yourself: Pacing means timing one's self by taking one's time to develop those points. A fast-paced speech is not necessarily the best speech. The ability to present the point logically and emotionally is a great-to-have.
  • Brief Points: The shorter your sentences for an impromptu speech the better. It is not safe to go on into a protracted explanation of a point for this kind of speech
  • Course correction: It is not out of place to get a speaker's block sometimes. That is to run out of words that adequately describe or convey your thoughts. When this happens take time to collect your thoughts.

Focusing on the audience rather than how you feel can help you overcome some of the mental hurdles of delivering an impromptu speech.

Lastly, when you make a mistake feel free to laugh at yourself whilst correcting yourself. Laughing at one's self communicates vulnerability and has a way of making the audience more comfortable with you. It also has the effect of making the audience laugh with you rather than at you.

2. Manuscript Speech

This kind of is best given in situations where it is unforgivable and highly risky to say the wrong thing. For example, when a president is giving a public address, it is almost always a manuscript speech. It may be an acceptance speech before taking office, a speech given to a mourning nation after a disaster, the central bank governor or Chief economic adviser explaining why the economy is in a recession and what can be done about it, the Minister of health stating why there must be another lockdown to prevent or forestall the spread of the C-Virus. etc.

Because the speech is pre-written, the speaker need only focus on their reading skills to ensure that words are pronounced correctly. There are cases where the manuscript is faulty. If the speaker didn't have time to do a check on the document, he or she must be careful to ensure that those errors are corrected as they speak.

One demerit of scripted speeches is that they may become boring if the speaker does not deliberately infuse it with energy and cadence.

Cadence refers to the manner in which one's sentences flow. To speak with cadence means to use a rhythm while stressing certain words throughout the sentence at the same time-varying one's pitch.

3. Extemporaneous Speech

This is a middle ground between impromptu and scripted speech. Extemporaneous Speeches are delivered with the help of cards or notes which hold the speaker's key points. With this kind of speech, the speaker knows his next point but the delivery is completely unscripted which means that if he delivered same speech again, he or she would most likely use completely different words than they did before.

This kind of speech works very well when the speaker has pre-rehearsed it to ensure there is a rhythm and a flow logically.

4. Memorized Speech

This is the most difficult kind of delivery. People who have excellent memory use this to achieve a great effect. Great orators have memorized their speeches. Memorizing ones speech gives one-off as a genius and allows the freedom to focus on the non-verbal cues of the audience whilst connecting with them.

If care is not taken, a memory speech may quickly become 'mono-chromatic' in delivery that is without cadence and emphasis on main points. This could leave the audience confused.

It helps to first create the speech in a language that feels more natural to you and after that, rehearse giving it over and over again.

Cheers
