Speech Buddies Videos aka The Lazy Title

What did I learn that was useful in the speech buddies video? I learned how to support my speech to make it seem credible. How to use good examples or how to stretch my point when I am trying to persuade people. For example, if I was trying to convince people to drop out of college, there is no good logical reason to do this, but I could use the example in the speech buddies video, and generalize it. Is it ethical, probable not, but I would accomplish my goal. It also, showed me how I could use narratives and testimonials to play on people emotions. Likewise, I also learned how to balance the evidence I need to support my claim, not get the point diluted, and keep it easy to comprehend. Overall, the general theme I guess was how to be efficient and ethical, or on the flip side, manipulative.

Then there was something about organization, it was pretty cool. Basically how to organize your speech based on the type of speech, and how you wanted it presented.
