Jeffrey Alan Butterworth was born January 29, 1965. She is now called in the name Jessica Lynn. She is now on a mission sharing and educating students with her experience and what is it to be a transgender. Jumping school by school, she discusses her suffering from the moment she realized that she wants to be a girl and what she experienced being a transgender.
The way she talked about her story attracts the listeners. I really liked it on the part when she slept with Rachel several times and got her pregnant. The beginning of her story was a bit sad because she was unsure about what’s happening to her and what could she do. She came up with her coping mechanism like soccer, work and other stuff that she can do. The first part of her story, where

The moment that Barbara called Jessica to talk made me thought that Barbara truly loves Jessica. As Jessica also told us that she got her name Jessica from Jeffrey, and Lynn from Barbara Lynn. I felt like it would be completely different if Jessica and Barbara would be together. I really hope that accident didn’t happened. A few tears came out of my eyes because I knew Barbara truly loves her, so as Jessica. Jessica discussed how and what happened when she met Rachel. What I notice is that Rachel doesn’t really like Jessica on who she is. She splits up with Jessica a couple of times because she wants to be with a real man or a real father. They did worked their relationship out and it was pretty much successful. I want to point out how brave Jessica was when she talked with her children about his transition. It was a big risk that may end up losing her children’s love and interest to her. But her children knows that Jessica had been a great father to them and gender wouldn’t change how much Jessica loves them. The transition was initiated September 17, 2010. She was 45 years old and at last she had reached her dream. I felt a bit happy for her when she felt comfortable on who
The statement she made was very powerful “My daughter save my life”. This quote that she mentioned really hit me. It make realized how powerful words are depending the situation and it also make me realized how a human being can change another human perspective
That character trait really appealed to me, because she never shouted to back off her daughter, or to state a face, she never ought, the way she talked to
That encounter in the coffee house that one morning forever changed her life. For a lot of situations, you really don’t understand the full meaning of something till you put yourself in someone’s else shoes. Once she put herself in that Germans shoe she was able to see his viewpoint. She mentions it over and over it the chapter that it deeply impacted her life and, it shows because she commits her life to learn more about her faith. I found it interesting that she found a deep feeling for her work.
That she felt out of place for so long and felt that she was like a robot trying to fit in with all these woman that she seen from day to day. That at her age she finally came to see what’s really important to a person and how they
From the beginning she pulls the readers attention, she uses a metaphor “Eventually being perfect day after day, year after year, became like always carrying a backpack filled with bricks on my back”(Quindlen, 296). This metaphor is the most significant part of her speech as she continues to refer to this metaphor throughout the speech. She uses this for the purpose of appealing to the audience in a meaningful, and personal way, creating a connection between her and the audience as most students, not only college students, can probably relate to the feeling of being heavily put down by something , not necessarily what she is talking about. Her use of pathos is what makes the speech so appealing and interesting, because she makes it so relatable and easy to understand.
She goes through each argument against buying local with thorough arguments and even concedes sometimes to her opponent in a way that does not take away from her argument. When discussing the fact that buying local sometimes hurts workers in third-world countries she acknowledges that but does not let it bring her argument to a screeching halt. Instead she admits that it could have negative effect but the positive effects should not be ignored. It seemed like she managed to avoid any errors while talking about her topic. Her tone could be at times a bit biased which became noticeable when she would talk about her past and how that connected with the idea of buying local. Besides that she made it reader friendly by explaining things simply with words that were accessible. The point where the effects of global warmings were discussed was written in an easily accessible manner. What I liked best was that she tore apart people’s arguments thread by thread which made it easier to support her side of the issue. While she did discuss certain parts about buying local that bothered people she could have been talked about more critiques toward buying local. All in all she made many valid points about buying local in a good
Knowing this, she takes her experience and uses it to write this piece and uses it to spread her message and her feelings toward the topic.
I gave the introduction 5 stars. The first time I heard this speech, Alison’s introduction grabbed my attention. First, she used her visual aid and showed a picture of a baby. Doing this was not only appropriate for the topic, but it was using Pathos, from Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle. Babies are natural attention getters. And showing mothers and grandmothers a picture of an adorable baby only helped her with her goal of getting her audience to focus. She then asked the audience a question as an attention getter. “What is going on in this baby’s mind”? She
In the early 16 century, Europeans learned about Natives in the Americas through images depicted by early conquerors. Fortunately, we have several first-hand account by a settler who depicts them in paintings by the name of John White. While these accounts have their limitations in terms of accuracy, it is apparent that Europeans tended to view the indigenous peoples as lacking morality but in my opinion John White proves all the speculation wrong.
Adichie definitely grabbed my attention from the very beginning to the point of leaving me with a desire to read more about her and her story. The arrangement of her speech was precise
From the very first paragraph of the narrative, I noticed that there were several details that the narrator mentioned that required further, deeper thought. For me, this is what made the story appealing.
Hearing the stories Rebecca would tell the class really gave me an insight on the personal experiences she went through. All of it sounded serial to me, I couldn’t grasp onto the fact that such horrific things could happen in a country like Australia, and continue to do so. Rebecca began to tell the story of her family, I felt like
It is amazing to hear how she transforms from a fourteen year old girl who sat at a bar listening to others perform, to becoming a teacher to other fourteen year olds who want to tell the world how they feel and of their
When she started her article with the story about Christina Morris-Ward she set the stage perfectly for what she was going to talk about. It outlined the dangers like media and how distracted people are and the effects it can have on people. This shows she is both very adept at finding good stories and able to draw parallels that her audience can apply to
Just like any author she achieves storytelling in a simple and straight forward manner. Some of
