Purpose: I really want to shine a light on the kids who grow up in foster care, such as my mom. I want to highlight just how much someone who grows up in such an environment could really flourish and make something better for themselves and the community around them. I’ll be analyzing what happened when she was in the system, what happened when she was forced to move on when she turned eighteen, and, finally, how it has affected her adult life.
Audience: Well, since it is a class of my peers, this topic may be a little depressing, but hopefully the outcome of her story will make up for it.
Media: An oral speech with a visual aids thrown in.
Ethos: As weird as this sounds, I want to take this merely as a research study. I do not intend on being biased in any way since I am her daughter.
Pathos: I’m going describe how she took advantage of every opportunity that did come to her, and try to establish a sense of familiarity and comfort.
Logos: I’m going to pretty much go in chronological order, just so that I don’t get confused. (I’m pretty sure you guys could handle it, but I can’t. Sorry).
