Presentations deux

Well, to be absolutely honest, today's presentations were not much different than yesterday's presentations. Different people were talking about different subjects, but the basic setup was essentially the same. People used some device to grab our attention as per Nancy's instructions, told us about a charity, and then used another device to bring us back in before the speech ended. Elise Lockwood was perhaps the most efficient user of this style, with the impassioned story of Grace or someone who was beaten by her father and her boyfriend, who received help from Elise's organization. She then spoke of all of the wonderful ways her organization generated money and how they used it to support (female/children only) victims of domestic abuse throughout some area. She then ended with how Grace herself was now doing so much better with her three daughters thanks to the help of the organization. I liked the structure of Elise Lockwood's argument, not so much as in it differed from everyone else's, because it didn't, but because her emulation of everyone else's structure was just more intense.
