And then Explaining what you specifically liked and asking a useful question. (1 paragraph)

Step 2. (Note that step 2 have 24 hours to do, take your time. the six hours windows is just for step 1 🙂

Replying to the question that asked of my post (file provided) (1 paragraph) The way I accessed the speech is mainly by watching the video on YouTube and
sometimes by reading the text on the website. Since English is not my mother
language, I need the text version to help me understand Dr. Banks (the speaker) better.
First thing first, I want to emphasis the way that Dr. Banks begins his speech. It is a very
smart technology of presentation by singing a song at the beginning of his speech. By
doing in this way, it is more efficient to attract audience’s attention and active the
atmosphere at the mean time. Although in our essay, we can’t really “sing a song”, we
can still use it as our reference method, such as giving an interesting story or a catchy
poem to expand our topics.
Talking about the unity and organization, I love the way Dr. Banks organized his
speech. It is very clear and concentrated on his topics. The title of his speech, which is
“funk, flight and freedom”, is throughout his entire article. This is also the way he
organized his speech. He divided his speech into three parts. Each part is composed of
several paragraphs and focusing on only one word of his article title. As for each part,
he likes to give a small story of other people or a real example of himself to expand his
discussion. This is what we need for writing our essay. We need a very clear topic and
then we should bring some examples or stories to support our arguments.
As for the transition of his speech, it is very smooth and each paragraph has a
connecting link between what comes before and what goes after. Meanwhile, you will
know very clearly at the time he is going to bring up a new idea. In our essay, although
it is very important to bring up a topic as clear as you can, it is also very important to
integrate your topics into the entire article so that each small topic won’t sound so
awkward.
Since his indented audiences are majority of teachers, professors and other highly
educated scholars from the university or college levels, the content of his article is more
related to institution things. The examples or stories he used in his article are more
academic but not common. The public won’t recognize some citations he used from
celebrities probably but his audiences will understand it for sure. This is how our
intended audiences shape how we write. Giving the related stories or examples from
your audiences’ life will make them understand your topic better.
Obviously, another technology he used in his speech is the tone of his voice and the
passion he showed. This is a very common strategy in presentation or a speaking
conference. But when you look at his sentences in his articles, you will notice that he
used a lot of parallelism sentences to make his speech more fluent, more encouraging
and more powerful. In our essay, we can also use parallelism sentences to highlight and
emphasis our topic.
I did some research and found that the genre of Banks’s speech is belonging to
secondary speech (I am not sure)? Bakhtin defines secondary speech as composites of
simple, primary speech genres in the analysis of the interaction between the multiple
competing voices and registers in literary works. This kind of genre uses some facts and
personal experience to support an argument, which is a good way that we can use in
our essay.
Step 2
Below IS A Response to my post, please reply
his question for my post
I appreciate your post on writing about “How Funky Can You Get.” I was especially interested in what
you said us as writers we always give examples and main points and go into debt to allow the
reader/listener to catch on to the idea and understand what our motives are. You also got me thinking
about how in fact we do break down our essay in complex concepts to understandable terms that we can
easily write about. I believe his message was towards adults, but do you think he was also addressing
this to the minorities, Latinos and the black lives matter movement as well, or maybe the first generations
of admission students? I agree we often quote and cite authors to show where we got our information
from and show our credibility. I also agree he used a serious tone to show how meaningful his message
is. How did you feel about his message? Did it move you in any ways or did it get you thinking, did you
like anything in his speech that caught and related to you? Which method of observation did you use for
this assignment? Did his message seem poetic also, it touched me in a sense of watching a poet? And
watching a film called “Love Jones”
HERE IS MY POST for the speech, just read
Video.
Dr. Adams speech portray a high sense of understanding about how to move from one topic
sentence to the other. He uses examples to move between ideas. For instance, after breaking
down the complex speech to funk, flight and freedom, he gives an example about George Clinton
that captures his audience attention and helps them to better understand his presentation about
funk flight and freedom. This relates to our writing because many are the times we give an
example to help the reader to understand the topic. He introduces the topic by offering an
example about funk music and peoples believes about it. He concludes his speech by tabling
ways through which people can solve their current challenges by learning from those who have
been through struggles for the sake delivering people from their problems. He urges people to
use their freedom to solve problems of those who lack it in the society.
Text.
The writer uses transitional words to move from one context to the other. The mastery of giving
examples enables him to elaborate concepts to the audience in a better way. It also gives him a
chance to jump to a new topic in order to keep the listeners glued to his speech. A good example
is how he uses the word ‘in fact’ as a transition word to show how Bootsy Collins and his
Parliament/Funkadelic family, made flight and space travel central themes and images in
their music. In our writings we use in fact to stress a point and convince the audience about
its validity.
The speaker breaks down the complex text into three concepts (funk, flight and freedom) that
help him to organize his message. This gives him an opportunity to figure each concept as a
separate entity and explain it to the audience. His recognition of Bootsy Collins songs also
helps him to figure the three concepts because he describes Bootsy Collins as a person who
deserves an award because of his consideration of the three concepts. This relates to our
essay organization because we always break down complex concepts to simple and
understandable terms that we can easily write about. Also, by relating what we are writing
with what has already been said makes it easy for the audience to grasp the message.
His audience are adults. This can be clearly seen when he states that people have reached to at a
disciplinary maturity, and yet remains undisciplined, unable to be disciplined. Knowing the
target audience helps the writer to customize the message into a language that is simple to
understand. It enables lively interactions because the audience become active listeners.
He paraphrases Thomas Sayers Ellis poem in order to show the relationship that exists between
the current situation and what happened during the periods of struggles. He also relies on the
concepts taught by Elaine Richardson and Rhea Lathan as the basic concepts that can help
students to clearly understand the problem at hand. In our writings, we quote different authors in
order to show the credibility of the concepts we are talking about.
The speaker uses a serious tone when communicating to his audience. It shows how the speaker
is serious about people’s rights. When writing essays, the tone enables us to capture the audience
attention in order to effectively relay the message.
The speaker uses nonfiction genre because he talks about things that exist in the society. He talks
about the reasons why we should respect opinions of those who we disagree with. Genre helps us
to categorize the essay depending on the audience and the type if message being communicated.
For instance, when targeting actors, drama can be used as the perfect genre.
