And the award for the best speech goes to....

Viola Davis!!!!!

Overall her speech was very motivating and heartfelt. Within her speech she was very intimate and recognized who her crowd was. She also said that everyone was a product of their environment and mentioned how that term is used for low income and crime infested areas despite applying to everyone. I also like how she pointed out bad things that people will ignore because it doesn't apply to them. She also said "own it" when referring to the bad parts of someone that that person typically hides to make them seem better. Overall I felt like her message was very straightforward and important, the message wasn't hidden within her stories but were supported by her stories.

The main idea of his speech is to never give up no matter the struggles. This is referenced throughout the text and even within some of the funny stories he has. In the beginning of the speech Will Ferrell makes fun of himself for having an honorary doctorate. He also lists the other honorary doctorate and their achievements before once again making fun of himself and his honorary doctorate. He then makes his final doctorate jokes before cracking a joke about him telling the Graduation speech for USC year of 2017. Along with that he tells his story of his degree and his journey to become a comedian. He finishes off by revealing his lessons: to never give up, no matter what struggles occur along the way. He mostly uses Pathos in his speech and seeks to make everyone laugh throughout his speech. The reoccurring element in his speech is success and never giving up. Throughout his speech he references his successes and how it took not giving up to get there. His choice to make his speech humorous makes the speech memorable and keeps people engaged. It also allows him to build up to a deeper meaning while easily keeping everyone engaged.

The main idea of this speech is that it's better to leave something within people than to leave something for them. She opened her speech with recognizing everyone in the crowd and says that "we carry history with us". She also discusses how despite the term "product of our environment" typically is used on poor families it applies to everybody, including all of the listeners. She talks about different paths that she's seen some people take after they graduate and how they both intend to do good things but typically don't achieve those things. Next she tells everyone that the way they can do good is by "owning it" and recognizing all of the bad parts of themselves, she says this is the way to give the world "your holy grail". She tells a story about herself to show everyone how she realized that "owning it" was the way to do something. Finally, she finishes her speech with a story about skydiving and connects it to her initial point. Viola Davis uses Pathos throughout the entirety of her speech, seeking to connect with the crowd and make them feel upset and motivated. She looks back to her past to help build up to her ultimate theme "you can either leave something for people or you can leave something in people". She uses metaphors for what people give to the world, "holy grail" and "elixir", to emphasize the importance of what you give to the world. She commonly repeats the "holy grail" and "elixir" in the speech as well to truly highlight its importance.

The main idea of Admiral McRaven's speech is that anyone can change the world. He started out by humoring his crowd before telling them how much they could Change by changing only 10 people's lives. He says that it doesn't matter who you are you can still change the world for the better. Next, he started to give a basic description of boot camp before telling them he had 10 lessons to tell the listeners. He then told his stories of his days at boot camp and how the lessons related back to them. He completes his speech by restarting his original point: anyone can change the world. Admiral Mcraven keeps his speech engaging through his stories of boot camp and makes it persuasive by saying anyone can change the world. He does this through his use of Pathos and Logos all throughout the text to create motivation within the crowd to change the world. Admiral Mcraven's choice to use the word "you" a lot makes the speech feel more personal to the listeners and feel like they were there learning those same lessons at boot camp. There is a reoccurring element of "changing the world" throughout the text he uses repetition with the phrase to emphasize that anyone can change the world.
