The next challenge... Speech Writing
Jul 16^th, 2015 at 7:49pm

Housekeeping.

This Thread was moved to here by freediver at about 9.00 pm on the 16th July, 2015 from where it was commenced in the General section. Mod.

There have been some memorable speeches over the years. Some are tied to momentous events. "I have a dream..." and "We will fight them on the beaches.." come easily to mind.

So perhaps the next challenge to you wordsmiths is to write a speech, as long or as short as you need. See of you can top the worlds best.

so, Karnal, Aussie, Pecca? any of you game?

It will be so pathetic. Do I get to pick my own topic or do you get to do that. Not that I care one way or the other. BUT.....if you pick mine, I get to pick yours.

write your own. choose your own topic and 'audience'. as long or as short as you want. Make your readers believe you. Sell them a narrative they can embrace and believe in.

because it was lousy? badly written? dripping in venom? poorly argued? insipidly presented?

He only does that for the first week.

When he’s finally finished squirming, he does a quick google and voila.

Rosa Parks and William Wilberforce.

And he still doesn’t know who Rosa Parks was.

apparently, you missed the news of my wellwritten missive and the tantrums that ensued from the competitors. So not we move on to another challenge.

I wrote a song about Rosa.

'Montgomery Bus Ride'

Maybe Triple J played it.

Nah.

You're so lame, Karnal. I expected stupidity but not this pitiful crap you are dealing now. You sound rather embararssing.

I look forward to reading your speech. Or I would except that now you know what you are up against I suspect you will bail on me.

I'm correct right?
