Ted talk 1

A)  Ludwick Marishane: A Bath without  Water,  first sub-Saharan African to win global entrepreneurship award. founded Headboy industries with water-less bathing lotion; http://headboy.org/  

B:Main theme and central argument) Bathing Substitute lotion, one small idea to not take bathes to a new   cleaning substitute for places with scarce water.
1 Logos) the author used several basic statistic to help perceive the magnitude of people not being readily available to water and sanitation globally  and then focusing in more on Africa and south Africa, and people who become infected with Trachoma where 8 Million people  become visually impaired. 

2 Ethos) the speaker prior to this speech was given several awards for his invention and is considered on of the greatest young minds of the new decade. he is taking about a product he created so he should know the most about his own product. 

3 Pathos) He sent out emotion by having in his presentation talking about Thrachoma and how small village children can save 2 hours that the can now spent bettering themselves. showing the horrible results of lack in hygiene can cause and even lead to blindness and that it effect a approximately 8 million people in the world each year.

4 Mythos) this was unapparent in his speech.

C Organizational structure.) his story went in a chronological order explaining what is is that he did and why. it stat off with a back story to him and his friends sun bathing and they started talking about baths and so his journey began as he spent the next years researching on his Nokia phone.
what he spend his time on is talking about the why. 

D style of speech) he had a common style of talking like he personally knew the audience or was explaining it to one person as a story of how he became who is. it was very in formal but it's effectiveness came from the natural tone and comfort aspect of his speech.
d2, his presentation had several slides and picture to help the audience under stand the statistic or what ever he was talking about.
E delivery)  E1 none  feel like he has given this speech before it was not read and i don't think it was one of the other 2 so i assume he had the idea of his manuscript and went through improving at some moments.
E2 he walked around the stage somewhat interacting with the audience.
E3 he was south African 
E4 he was easily understand able with his accent and the language diffidence make some phrases seemed off but clearly it was just minor language or terminology differences.
F the audience seemed to enjoy hearing the speech and the great impact it had.
G) what i have learned from the speaker is for a strong speech you have to connect with the people and can't be up tight. i also want to simulate by haveing a topic that i at minimum care about
