My informative speech was on The Histoy of Kings Island. The begining of my speech did not really have a hook to make the audience grasp on. My speech also started off on a sour note when i skiped a few slides in the begining. After this my eye contact was not the best during the power point, and I moved around too much. After the power point I had good use of hand gestures, but it seemed as though I was pulling the thoughts out of my head and not from facts. This speech has shown me my flaws in public speaking.

First Speech

My first speech was not the worst speech i have ever given. I was nervous before the speech, but during the speech my nerves got better. I stuttered sometimes because of this, and as a result my speech was not the best it could be. My speech was also fairly short, which is a subject I need to start working at.

Play on words is when words become important as to what they can mean. The above picture is a perfet example of this because of the use of words in the town sign leads the reader to believe the town to be a normal town but when you see the town in front of the sign you relize that the town is actually named for what it has in it; palm trees and springs.

Hyperbole

Hyperboles are figures of speech where exaggeration is used as emphasis. A few examples would be "I am so hungry i could eat a horse", or "I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.
