On the 15th of August, our learning facilitator have me write a short persuasive speech about a book that I found interesting to convince others to read it as well. The book that I chose to write about was the crossover written by Kwame Alexander. The excerpt below is my persuasive speech:
Good morning ladies and gentleman, today I’m going to share something that have changed my live. Many of you would say that having a lot of money will change my live, but it is not. Read, read, read and read. You all might wonder why did I said this words so many times, but reading is the main factor that have changed the way I live my today’s live. I have read many books from fiction to non-fiction, business book to cartoon, but the one book that is always stuck in my change and I think that one that really change what I think is the Crossover. Crossover is a very unique book and it written in a poetic way, which make the readers more excited. This book show how basketball change their high school life. The author used basketball lesson as an analogy for live lesson. For instance, you can’t miss any free throw in basketball game because it is the most easy thing to get point and it a free opportunity for you. The example above shows that you can give up on an easy task in live because that easy task is the foundation to complete a more challenging work in the future.
