Exercise #8


Obama
Obama was talking about cultural diversity in America and the different types or groups that he mentioned to work together which are black, white, poor, rich, able, disable, gay, straight, Asian, Spanish, Native American, young, and old. These groups of people will help to produce more and push America to further more to the highest levels. In Obama speech, he relies on some delivery action and ways. People who attended the speech felt very hopeful to Obama by these types of delivery which have an emotion. One of the most ways is his voice. He tried to start with lower voice then started to increase slowly until the end. He also depended on eye contact to the audience which was very helpful for him. Another good way is body language. He showed some body language like hand movement with good voice. These delivery actions made the audience feel like Obama is part of them which was very clear in the whole speech
