This Public Speaking assignment is for the Public Speaking Course on 9/19/2013,Friday,Period 7 given by Mr.Manno.
The persuasive speech I chose was Simon Sinek's How great leaders inspire action
Here's the link: http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html
Now talking about the methods that the speaker used.I think the main methods are,first, repeat his main idea over and over.Second,he gave loads of examples, the successful ones, the failure ones. Many many examples in every aspects. Truly enough for him to support his ideology.
“People don't buy what you do;they buy why you do it."
I can even recite it easily now. Why? Because I' ve heard about this sentence through the whole speech quite times. Why he did this? Because that's the main idea the speaker wanted us to know, to understand.As we all know people repeat things in order to remember them better.In the same way, the more times he said that, the sentence will stick in our minds more. There's an ancient saying: "The meaning of the book will become clear if you read it hundreds of times." Also, this sentence's meaning will become clear after we remembering it, listening to it hundreds times as well. It's a really good method to help people understand and know what the topic the speaker is talking about.
He also used a diagram“ Why How What", some scientific research in biology, and also some specific statistics about majesty to not only support his opinion, but also directly explain his main opinion.
Mentioned about the examples before. Besides the explanation about the theory, the other part of the speech was filled up with lots of specific examples. When we are argumentative composition, we usually use examples to sustain our ideology. This method is also conductive for a persuasive speech. The examples which the speaker used are: the success of Apple, the Wright Brothers, and Martin Luther King; the failure of Tivo, and another unknown people who also attempted to make an aeroplane as the Wright Brothers did.
The speaker used these examples to compare. The difference between that unknown people's ambition and the Wright Brothers' is that the motivation of that people was to gain money, gain fame but the Wright Brothers just wanted to make their dream which implanted in their mind since their childhood. Compared Apple with Tivo, basicly, it was their way about how to advert their products' difference.Apple told everyone WHY they invented iPhone, iPod, and so on. What they did was just for prove their ideas. But Tivo just told people what they made. The consequence is that Apple succeed, Tivo is still struggling.

From those differences, we can easily find out that “People don't buy what you do;they buy why you do it." is universal truth.
In brief, I think this persuasive speech really let me agree with the speaker's idea.That's really a model to p
