Note: Yet again, I wasn't quite sure how to go about doing this assignment, but I did the best I could.
I love how honestly he speaks, especially at the very beginning of his lecture. He says, "In any case, after, I don't know, twenty aborted attempts to compose a lecture for tonight, I finally gave it up, and decided to spend my time with you doing what I do best, which is to tell stories." This lets everyone else know how outspoken he is and how outright he is with himself. Another thing I really liked about his lecture was his few short things he had to say about writing. They were very informative yet he kept it simply said. As I continued to read his lecture I noticed he always kept a steady pace and always kept things simple and witty. He always had his own little commentaries about everything he talked about and I just find that to be a good way of drawing people in to what he was saying. For example he said, "The town, for reasons unknown, took pride, and to this day still takes pride, in calling itself "The Turkey Capital of the World." Uh, why they took pride in this I'm not quite sure." I feel, after reading his lecture that he is not only a great author but a very good speaker as well.
