Persuasive speech

A persuasive kind of a speech is a speech that the speaker has the aim of convincing the general audience to go along with the piece of advice or point he or she is trying to cut across. Persuasive speech is highly regarded and arranged in a manner that will hopefully allow the audience to associate with at least part of it or the whole part of the speech in most cases (Metcalfe, 2013).

Death sentences for juveniles are one of the most devastating ideologies and facts that some countries have allowed in their constitution. In the United States, death penalties for the juveniles start at the age of 15years and this has been the trend since the year 1988 (Metcalfe, 2013). Currently, there are at least more than 50 individuals who are already booked awaiting their death penalties which were granted to them when they were at the ages 16 years.  Execution of teenagers is such as the bad idea that has left many wondering why a minor would be subjected to such painful life experience.

This is just typically wrong to subject young people into being murdered by the rules set by humans and in these case parents. It might be a better way to allow crime rates to reduce but in the real sense, it is just a wrong way of executing justice (SIEGEL, 2017). Unless a person has committed high rated crimes like mass murder then the person should at least be awarded so years in jail. Some of these people who are sentenced in prison can really be transformed and work miracles. Some do what they do due to the frustrations in life but it needs therapy and that person might actually transform and his or her life turn around and can be a builder of the economy or an important member in the society.

In most cases, juveniles are immature at that age and this can really impact on their judgment. Research indicates that the part of the brain where such impact controls and decision-making mindsets are in most cases very far from being developed (Chambliss, 2011). Justice cannot be obtained from sending to prison young people who have experienced less of life. Juveniles are in most under the supervision of their parents and this can be a point to consider. Accordingly, parents in most scenarios are the ones to blame for the activities their children do and until they are above the recognized by law adult age, then parents should be accountable.

Special occasion speech

Special occasional speeches are in most cases used to address an audience with an aim of creating a memory in their minds which the speaker might want the audience to remember always in their lives. Certain special occasion speeches are for example the commemorative type (Meier, 2015). Commemorative speeches in every sense explain an extraordinary occurrence.

The speech is a certain entertainment public figure that has really changed the lives of many in the entertainment industry in general. This person was once a street child who did anything to survive and always hope tomorrow will be a better day (Meier, 2015). He triumphed through hardships but never lost hope of ever having an enjoyable life. From the age of 5, this person never saw himself to a nice place he could call home, the streets was his home and never saw a good meal only relied on leftovers from the pits until he was 17 years of age.

At this time, due to the hardships he had encountered in life, he never took everything seriously and sometimes people confused that with being a thief and a robber. Through doing his casual jobs of trying to find some foods in pits, he used to entertain his fellows with some local jokes. He never knew that this was a talent that could make him a renowned person in the future (Paul, 2011). On a certain day, there was traffic in town and as he conducted his duties, he made jokes by the roadside and people found saw them funny and in that way, someone had already discovered that this person had a hidden talent for creating funny jokes.

 On his first day on stage as a comedian, people never minded about his past or his present status to find what he was saying as funny but they really applauded and laughed on the jokes this person made that day (Persky, 2012). Like it is always many people started finding it stress relieving and went to listen to him on every weekend. At some point, this person felt moved by the fact that he had left many other talented people on the streets and he made a point of getting them on stage also. No one ever cared about their background but they did care about what they were talking about.

In the entertainment industry, everyone is equal and what makes the difference is how you connect the audience to the kind of jokes one is making (Meier, 2015). Appreciating such individuals is the reason for the speech and this is to recognize their hard work in trying to pull more talented people from the streets and bringing them to the light of day.
