I am choosing Frederick Douglass’ model in writing a speech to someone outside my Discourse Community. I want to address the problems and issues of people in the DC of Immigration. I feel like I would express my feelings and thoughts better by using Douglass’ model. This format will help me express the emotional and mental struggles immigrants go through when deported for no commitment of crime. Thus, it can keep the audience engaged throughout the speech and recognize the main issue. Writing a speech can help make my argument much clearer as my main purpose is to make the audience aware of the real situation in the problem and find a solution.

Douglass tried to persuade and educate the public in some sort of way so they can feel what they were going through. My speech will be a similar type of format as I want to bring awareness to U.S. government officials and the Immigration border patrol agents. My goal is to have the border patrol agents recognize what they are actually doing when separating parents away from their children that are fellow US citizens. This issue has to be brought up to the attention of U.S. government officials. Where proper action must be taken to protect the right of illegal immigrants.
