Description:
Prepare a detailed FULL SENTENCE outline for Speech 2 using the template below. Prepare a detailed outline for Speech 2 using the template below. This does not mean writing your entire speech, but only writing the topic sentence for the three to five supporting points that prove your thesis. Include a thesis statement that contains the claim or prediction you will prove or illustrate (which is usually spoken); a purpose statement, indicating if you are persuading or informing the audience and the response from the audience you wish to achieve (which is not usually spoken); an introduction; a body, including supporting evidence; transitions; and a conclusion.
OUTLINE TOPIC
Your Speech 2 Outline will be on Speech 2, which is a 3 to 5 minute (closer to 5 minutes than to 3) speech in which you inform the audience about an issue important to you, but in this or any informative speech, rely more on presenting factual information rather than on bias or preference of any kind. The topic can include a process, but give the audience an understanding, not simply directions alone. If you choose to inform the audience on a place or a favorite vacation spot, tell the audience about it in an evocative way rather than just listing facts. Here you would describe sensory perceptions such as sights, smells and sounds, and may include your personal experience. You may also present an important idea or concept, or any other issue that you believe the audience needs to know better.
This speech requires the use of research and outside sources in creating your speech; include them in a bibliography as well as citing them in the outline and subsequent speech. Using at least two sources is required. Please use APA format for your citations in your outline.

• Include a profile of your advocate and the kind of writing they do. You should provide readers with any contextual information they need to understand your advocate and at least two concrete examples of your advocate’s writing. These can be screenshots, textual evidence, etc. This section should also explain how the examples–whether directly or distantly–affect change for the target community
.• A conclusion that leaves readers with takeaways, insights, and/or paths forward for encountering, examining, or even doing advocacy writing.

Ghost Bird by Lisa Fuller is a young adult novel set in the fictional town of Eidsvold, Queensland, exploring themes of racism, injustice, and the power of belief. The protagonist, Stacey, undergoes a transformative journey as she navigates the complexities of her identity and the harsh realities faced by the Eidsvold Murri community.
Stacey’s Tug-of-War Between Reason and Belief
Stacey’s character development is marked by her internal struggle between reason and belief, particularly concerning dreams and their significance. Fuller’s characterization highlights the importance of honesty and courage in confronting one’s doubts and embracing personal growth. Stacey questions the validity of her dreams, as evident in the quote, “Nan would probably have called it a special dream, I should listen to, school says its my subconscious telling me something about something.” The juxtaposition of Nan’s spiritual beliefs and the rational explanations from school underscores Stacey’s inner conflict. Fuller employs the technique of free indirect discourse to convey Stacey’s thought process, allowing readers to intimately understand her dilemma.
Furthermore, Stacey’s skepticism is revealed through the quote, “coming more awake, my mind whispers its just a dream. It takes me a bit longer to remember that dreams aren’t supposed to have any meaning just a subconscious working through stuff.” The personification of her mind “whispering” and the acknowledgment that dreams are often dismissed as meaningless highlight her struggle to reconcile her experiences with societal norms. However, Stacey’s courage and honesty in confronting her doubts are exemplified in the quote, “Even now when I don’t believe in that stuff anymore. I know what I heard that night. As much as I wanted to believe in logic I’m not sure if I’d be game to test it.” Despite her initial skepticism, Stacey remains open to the possibility of the supernatural, demonstrating her willingness to grow through experience and embrace her cultural heritage.
The Power Imbalance and Racism Faced by the Eidsvold Murri Community
Fuller’s characterization also explores the power imbalance and racism faced by the Eidsvold Murri community, highlighting the courage and honesty required to confront these challenges. The quote, “The potters hate anything darker than tan,” encapsulates the deeply ingrained prejudice and discrimination prevalent in the town. Fuller’s use of the collective noun “The potters” emphasizes the pervasive nature of this racism, underscoring the adversity Stacey and her community must overcome.
Moreover, the quote, “‘And when did gossip become an official police source?’” exposes the systemic injustice and lack of accountability within the legal system. Fuller’s use of rhetorical questioning highlights the absurdity of relying on hearsay rather than factual evidence, revealing the courage required to challenge such practices. This is further reinforced by the quote, “‘Not even the cops could help you on this one.’ It was a blatant lie. The cops can and had ignored a lot of bad sh*t.” Fuller’s blunt language and the contrast between the statement and Stacey’s realization underscore the harsh reality of institutional racism and the need for honesty in confronting these issues.
Through Stacey’s journey, Fuller poignantly illustrates that personal growth and character development require honesty and courage in facing one’s doubts, embracing cultural heritage, and confronting systemic injustice. Stacey’s willingness to question societal norms, confront her skepticism, and acknowledge the racism faced by her community exemplify the transformative power of meeting life’s challenges with integrity and resilience. use this example to help assist with the main essay on ghost bird. Sample Half Essay – Character Growth and Adversity
“A novel develops a reader’s understanding of adversity and how it shapes a person’s character.”
How is this shown in the novel you have studied in class? Give close reference to the novel you have studied in your response.
Novels can change readers’ views on the obstacles characters face and how they mould a person’s characteristics by showcasing how these experiences lead to a better understanding of self and the world. This is represented in the novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) by JK Rowling, where Harry is thrust into the unknown magical world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Here, he discovers his wizarding heritage, makes lifelong friends, and confronts the dark wizard Voldemort for the first time. Rowling’s novel demonstrates how overcoming the challenges of adjusting to a new world can ultimately result in positive outcomes, such as growing one’s skills in adaptability, confidence and courage. Over time, individuals learn to adapt to the challenges of their new surroundings resulting in a greater sense of confidence in their own abilities. When first arriving at Hogwarts, Rowling uses a metaphor to describe Harry’s head as “swimming with lessons he had to learn about the wizarding world”. This represents his initial sense of overwhelm at the complexities of the magical realm. Later, when playing Quidditch, Harry slowly adapts to the strange feeling of flying on a broomstick “If only his broomstick would get used to him and his shaking hands… soaring into the air, and suddenly he was flying smoothly and confidently. His broomstick felt like an old friend he had never met before”. Rowling’s personification of the broomstick as a stranger, then a friend, represents his growth from hesitant to more assured about how things in the wizarding world works. Finally, his confidence at the end of the novel is shown through how he approaches the unknown figure of Voldemort in the forest. Rowling writes “a hooded figure came crawling across the ground like some stalking beast. Harry managed not to jump, but he felt an unpleasant surge of fear”, using visceral imagery Rowling represents how Harry has adapted to the intricacies of the magical world, and is able to do so in a calm and confident manner. Therefore, Rowling represents how characters grow by adjusting to the challenges of new worlds, ultimately resulting in a greater sense of self-assurance.
