SUBJECTInformative and Persuasive Speech Differences
Informative and persuasive speeches have both similarities and differences. I agree that both speeches have a point to get across to a specific audience. Informative speeches are meant to educate your audience. My goal is to teach the audience something that they might not know already. My hope is that the audience will leave the speech being able to educate someone else on my topic. I love the illustration that you used for your informative speech. I never thought about it in that way. When I think about giving an informative speech I think about conducting a class at work for my job. I would have to explain and educate my audience on my specific job duties. Like you said a persuasive speech’s goal is to persuade a specific opinion or viewpoint on a matter to the audience. I also feel like this type of speech is more difficult to deliver than an informative speech. With an informative speech it is a lot of facts. However with a persuasive speech I feel like more emotion goes into the speech especially if it is a topic that you are passionate about. The example about the attorney defending her client is a great way to explain a persuasive speech. An attorney’s main job is to persuade a jury that the client is innocent or guilty on a daily basis. Another example of someone that might use persuasive speeches daily for their job would be a salesperson (Lucas 2015). Their main job is to convince you that the product they are selling is something that you have to have and can not live without. Some of them are very good at their jobs and can persuade even the toughest person to buy the product. Overall I think we have very similar views on both of these types of speeches.
