Argumentative Speech-text

Tales and legends belongs to the ancient human culture. For centuries they have been told during the campfire, the royal needs and the nursery. Authors has found inspiration in the old stories and created their own versions, and today the tales exists both on television and the movies. Why does people still care about old stories? Does the old the ancient sagas morals and values fit into our modern society? What is the truth and what is legend in news feeds?

Your task is to write an argumentative text which you must later on perform in front of the class, in other words you must write in a way so you can later on have an presentation of it where you will have to give a speech at approximately 5-6 minutes (not more) in which you, esp. argue for a thesis on the theme of “fairy tales”.

Once I again I am telling, I must stand in front the class Monday morning and perform an argument-speech about “fairy tales”, so basically you need to write the argumentative text in an speech (presentation) way.

The following things down below is the main things you need to do;

· Write an argumentative speech- text, i.e. write it so one can later on perform an presentation of it, esp. orally way in front of the class

· The subject which you must write about is the following; “Fairy tales can teach us about life”. You need to argument for it, not against it (but do not forget to have counterargument)

· Write in a very simple English so one can easily understand everything.

· You must add/include two-three optional speech-figures in it (=i.e. in the text you are writing). Speech figures to take, is the following (Acknowledge; Take only 3-4, and not less or more); Allusion, Allegory, Metaphor, Anaphora (rhetoric), Antithesis, Epistrophe, Rhetorical question, Synecdoche, Hyperbole, Simile, Litotes.

· You must also include the following three things in the text you are writing; Pathos , Logos , Ethos (don’t miss any of them). The speech is partially adapted to the communication of the situation with a view to convince the audience in a problem within the theme

· You must formulate a thesis within the theme you are going to write and later on talk about (“Fairy tales can teach us about life”), and the thesis must be supported of examples and arguments

· The speech must include an “introduction” (esp. one that is really interesting and one that easily/immediately catches the listeners attention, so basically write one that is really strange, yet is extremely good), a “thesis”, “arguments” (3 at least- don’t forget “counterargument”) and a “conclusion”.

· Write in an extremely good English, yet very understandable, i.e. add good English words that is suitable for the subject you are talking about, which in this case is “Fairy tales can teach us about life”

· The speech must partially be adapted to the communication of the situation with a view to convince the audience in a problem within the theme
