Ethos: The ethos of my speech is basically the fact that it is my life. I know myself better than everyone in the room. However, how I will go about proving that credibility to the class will to be supporting my statements of my life with a story following the statements. My weak points are definitely eye contact and not moving around the room enough. I also struggle with keeping my thoughts in place when in front of an audience such as this. It's kind of intimate in a way. At least compared to a room full of 100 people. I can overcome my weak points by drilling my speech into my brain and planning out my movements. By practicing so much hopefully I can surpass that line of over control and tightness in my speech and develop a more natural way of performing my speech. My content is lacking in general because I'm finding it hard to find a good connection between my "different identities."

Pathos: The pathos… I don't really have much of an idea of what my emotional responses will consist of. However, I know what approaches I absolutely don't want to take. I'm not going to try to be funny. That can go terribly wrong. The emotions I may try to go for are hopefully some on a level of connectivity and the feeling of having something in common. 

Logos:

1. Intro: My career, family, and entertainment personalities are extremely closely related. The 3 Chloe's. The paternal triplets. 

2. Body:

a. Career: Future: I plan on becoming a business woman, but perhaps not in the general stereotype. I don't plan on wearing a suit or having my hair in a tight bun everyday. I don't plan on being conservative. As a future member of the fashion industry, I plan on going into it as myself with a professional air about me however, I'll be the same Chloe. Perhaps a little less inappropriate as my family and friend self. I want to be in a laid back work environment because I thrive in relaxed situations.

b. Family: Only child, oldest grandchild by 10 years. Quite goofy with my family. Family is extremely relaxed.

c. Entertainment: I act as I do with my friends as I do with my family. Only more inappropriate. The main difference between the other Chloe triplets is that entertainment Chloe tends to let herself become almost completely vulnerable, which is such a gratifying feeling. 

I'm trying to use relaxation and vulnerability as my main form of repetition. I constantly aim for and put myself in situations that support relaxation. I'm even hoping to model my future career with relaxation and vulnerability allowed and accepted since it's such an important part of my life currently.

3. Conclusion:

For my conclusion, I think I'll briefly summarize… Maybe I'll even say "In conclusion."  The end is still undecided.

The monologue I chose was very short and from the final scene of Elevator to the Gallows. Elevator to the Gallows is a French film noir from 1958. The character, Florence, has a short monologue to herself in the final scene of the movie. I chose this because I had trouble thinking of something else that moved me, and I also saw this film very recently. Warning: This contains spoilers.
Elevator to the Gallows is a film about Florence and her lover, Julien, who devise a scheme to kill Florence's husband so they can be together at last. This ending scene is of Florence and a detective who has just uncovered evidence of her affair with Julien. She realizes what the punishment is immediately and has one last moment to herself to remember her precious Julien. In her monologue, Florence has only a few lines. This monologue basically resides solely on pathos in my opinion. The emotion coming off of Florence is almost palpable. Throughout the movie, you want her and Julien to prevail over the circumstances they are put through. However, when talking about ethos, I find that Florence is obviously credible for her love of Julien. She plotted a murder against her husband to be with her lover, and in the photographs, she and Julien look exquisitely happy. It is obvious everything is heart felt. As far as logos goes, her argument here goes something along the lines of Florence proving her love for Julien through her emotion. Below is her monologue along with the video.

"No more aging, no more days. I'll go to sleep. I'll wake up... Alone. 10 years, 20 years. I wasn't indulgent. But I know I still loved you. I wasn't thinking only of myself. I'll be old from now on. But we're together here. Together again, somewhere. You see, they cant keep us apart."

I honestly don't get exactly what this article is trying to say. Is it trying to emphasize the fashion choices of black NBA players and their stylists? Is it trying to emphasize a "new" trend for famous black men in general? Is it trying to kind of ridicule the NBA players for dressing "nerdily?" Or maybe is it trying to emphasize the change in black culture in the past 20 years? This article just seems kinda silly to me. I'm mainly against this article because I've always been deeply invested in what's happening in the fashion industry and what influential/fashionable people are wearing in general. Saying that, what these NBA players are wearing now isn't anything new. At all. It's just stylish. Mostly. By meaning of stylish I am referring to this picture mainly with the player sitting next to Anna W.
The others are somewhat goofy.

Anyway, I am 100% against Morris for referring to fashion choices by the players as "nerdy" attire. Nerds do not wear stuff like that. Nerds, to me, aren't grown men, and a stereotypical nerd does not generally make concious fashion decisions. It's kind of defeating their label as a nerd. When I think of a nerd, I think of a guy who's wearing a white t-shirt, perhaps with a graphic on it, and light wash jeans with some lame tennis shoes, generally around the ages of 11-15. I dont know much about black culture, as I was raised by the typical middle-upper class white family, but I just think the NBA players changing up their style is just a change of times. I think the players definitely had influence from the weird rappers of right now, like OFWGKTA and Kanye, since they do have a pretty unique sense of style and wear it with confidence but… It's not like the players are going to wear "big, creamy sweaters, roomy leather jackets, and substantially karated wristwear" for all of time, since those things really aren't seen as stylish anymore. This article questioning why NBA players have changed their style (and also why Carlton Banks' style isnt nerdy) is like asking why style has changed in America over the past 200 years. It's just a progression of events that happen naturally through the influence of things going on in society.
