“ Freedom or Death ” Emmeline Pankhurst Hartford, Connecticut on November

I do not come here as an advocate, because whatever position the suffrage movement may occupy in the United States of America, in England it has passed beyond the realm of advocacy and it has entered into the sphere of practical politics. It has become the subject of revolution and civil war, and so tonight I am not here to advocate woman suffrage. American suffragists can do that very well for themselves. Speech text from:

I am here as a soldier who has temporarily left the field of battle in order to explain - it seems strange it should have to be explained - what civil war is like when civil war is waged by women. I am not only here as a soldier temporarily absent from the field at battle; I am here – and that, I think, is the strangest part of my coming – I am here as a person who, according to the law courts of my country, it has been decided, is of no value to the community at all; and I am adjudged because of my life to be a dangerous person, under sentence of penal servitude in a convict prison.

So here am I. I come in the intervals of prison appearance. I come after having been four times imprisoned under the "Cat and Mouse Act", probably going back to be rearrested as soon as I set my foot on British soil. I come to ask you to help to win this fight. If we win it, this hardest of all fights, then, to be sure, in the future it is going to be made easier for women all over the world to win their fight when their time comes.

Ending Choice 1: “In Bhopal, more than 10,000 people died because of an accident. We must never let it happen again.”

Actual Ending... “A few weeks after that tragedy, a British film crew went to Bhopal and interviewed dozens of people there victims and non victims. The resulting program, called ‘The Killing of Bhopal,’ recently aired on public television in the United States. And what it dramatically showed was what we might call the public's answer to all of our sophisticated risk assessments, risk probabilities, risk quantifications and public education programs on how safe our industry is.

“ It showed doctors and nurses frantically trying to learn what had happened, to know how to treat the victim “It showed a mother describing how her baby died in her arms, choking to death. “It showed a young wife who watched her husband die. “It showed a 12 year old boy who was the only survivor of his large family. “For all our talk about the safety of chemicals, these scenes from Bhopal are the end point of chemical risk. We must live up to what the public expects of us, and do our jobs as we know we can. “Anything less is failing the trust we have to the public. “Anything less is failing ourselves.” Glynn Young, October 3, “An Engineer Got Emotional.” faithfictionfriends.blogspot.com

Powerful Introductions Ask a rhetorical question. State a little known statistic or fact. Use a quotation that relates to the topic. Why is this topic important?

To Conclude Single you are concluding. Resist the urge to be overly lengthy Do not fall back on a boring “thank you.” Keep the same tone that you’ve chosen for the rest of your speech

Communicate with clarity. Communicate accurately. Be meaningful for listeners (why should they listen to your speech?).
