My First Story Speech!

The Ultimate Break-Up:
Ethos: An overly confident girlfriend way outta this guy's league
Pathos: I tried to make it funny.. I still can't tell if it's that, or just plain awkward.
I'm trying to make this guy feel better as I'm breaking up with him (although my ethos didn't do a very good job at it...)

  1. Nellie this is so hilarious I love it!!!!!!!!! Just try to slow down cause you are speaking a little too fast. I love it.

  2. This is really funny and to the point. You stay true to your ethos, but it's kind of hard to buy your pathos based on the character you're playing.

  3. I agree with your group: this IS funny. However, I'd like to encourage you to be even MORE over the top. Make this gal even MORE self-involved, obnoxious, and heartless. You need an ethos that's a bit less ambiguous. "Overly confident" is OK...but it's not strong enough. Keep pushing it!

    Pathos: I don't think you're really trying to make this guy feel better. Well, you (as the girl) might, on some level, care about this, but ultimately (it seems to me) you want to make him feel that he's at fault here, he's below you, and that he doesn't really matter to you--right? (That's what comes across to me--and, I think, to Taylor, too.)

    Keep going with this. You've got a great character and one that you clearly enjoy playing.
