Outline

Ethos

I will develop credibility by dressing nicely and by telling true stories about my life. I’m not very good at speaking in front of people so I will need to practice to make sure it comes across clearly.

Pathos

Although I am talking about a trait that can sometimes be viewed negatively, I want to keep my speech as positive as possible and not be too negative or emotional.

Logos

1. Introduction

a. Thesis- The thread that ties the different aspects of my life of family, career, and entertainment together is the fact that I am very indecisive.

b. Hook- I’m the oldest in my family but my personality doesn’t always reflect that. I don’t normally have a strong personality and will sometimes let others do the decision making.

2. Body

a. Family- When I go shopping with my family it always takes me forever to decide what to get and now many of my family members don’t like to go with me because of it.

b. Entertainment- There have been multiple times where all of my friends were going out to dinner or on a weekend trip and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go or not so I ended up not going and missed out on a fun time because of it.

c. Career- There have also been times when being indecisive has actually benefitted me. On a test instead of rushing through it, I wasn’t sure so I took my time and actually ended up getting a better score because of it.

3. Conclusion

Overall the thing that ties the different aspects of my life with family, entertainment, and career together is my indecisiveness and as you can see it has had both a positive and negative impact.
