the essay i chose for chaper 55 is victory speech by james woods thoroughout the context of this essay james woods talks about how speech is importante when adressing the public and barak obama is good at giving speeches he goes on to compare and contrsast barak obama with many other great speakers such as abe lincon at ghettysburg and martin luther king. one i seen he failed to mention was jhon f kennedy whom was a fanominal speeker as well. although the author makes good and valad points it is still kind of plain to read to me.
