Chapter 16 interests

I found chapter sixteen interesting, this chapter is about speaking in special occasions.  It gives different tips for each type of speeches.  Some of these speeches include; after-dinner speeches, award presentations, tributes and eulogies.  The tips for  after-dinner speeches are to be entertaining and light hearted.  These speeches usually include jokes or humor.  It also says to focus on a theme.  They should have some type of point to them.  For acceptance speeches the speaker should be thankful and humble.  Thank the people who helped you succeed.  I hate it when people on award shows go on and on about it though.. I mean sum it up!  The next tip is to be succinct; get to the point.  According to the text, in the Webby awards, accepting speakers are only allowed five words.  I think all accepting speakers should have a limit on how much they can talk for.
