THE RATIONALE
Stereotypes and discrimination are the topics common to all three texts that were used as stimuli for my written response. In my response I am trying to express my strong dissatisfaction with the stereotyping that occur in different aspects of human’s life – family, job, education and sports.
I choose to write the speech to the students of my class, because the problem of stereotyping concerns us all and it is the best way to express my opinion about the problem directly to them (all other text types would pass the message too indirectly and thus not as efficiently as speech).
To make the speech more convincing and attractive for listeners, I used informal language, addressed the audience several times and I used some figurative language. Using these three main elements I feel I reached the purpose described above.
