The speech, "Seatbelts: A Habit That Could Save Your Life,?by Andrew Kinney was a very well written and delivered speech. It basically fulfilled every good thing about the persuasive speech, with a very low quantity of defiance from the guidelines for a persuasive speech. It seemed that he got everything he wanted to say out in the open in a very easy to understand manner.
The specific purpose was to persuade his audience to wear a seatbelt whenever they ride in a vehicle. This was a very easy to pick out specific purpose. It was very clear what his point was for his speech. He pretty much stated the specific purpose in his introduction.
Andrew's techniques for his introduction were strong. He made the importance of always wearing a seat belt hit home. He related to the audience by sharing a previous personal experience; Andrew had three surgeries on his hip and because of that, he was on crutches for several months due to an accident when he was not wearing a seat belt. As he continued his introduction, he became less effective by basically summarizing his whole speech. The summary of the main points should have been left until the speech's conclusion.
