For this writing assignment, I feel as if choosing a letter over a speech would not get my point across. I want to get my message through and to do that, I feel as if a speech is more appropriate. A letter can get a point across if you are directing your message to one person or even a handful of people, but my message is not just for a couple of people, it is for our society as a collective. Society feels as if people working fast food jobs are lower than them, are emotionless and are basically not human. People think that just because they work for a fast food chain, they have the authority to make a scene, scream at them, pick a fight with them, and want to get physical with them, meanwhile they are just trying to do their job. I feel as if we need to change and do better, treat everyone with respect, no matter their occupation and a speech would more likely get that across. I would start off my speech by introducing myself, giving some information about myself, including where I work and some of the things I do at work. After the introduction, I would ease into speaking about the difficulties of working at a fast food job, the customers, the workload, the little time you have to complete a task. I would add details about other workers, not just myself, from research that I will do, including newspaper articles and add that as well. I feel as if for this speech, you should also add how much a fast food location can make in a day, compared to how much you are paid for reinforcement. I want to give examples so that they could visualize just how difficult it is to work in a fast paced environment. I would end of my speech by emphasizing how employees deserve a better pay and deserve to be treated like humans.

Class Meetings & Times: in person Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4 – 5:15 PM in Namm 403
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
