First we're going to start off with the first slide. Why is happiness and success so important? Happiness is produced by dopamine in your brain. It gives you a feeling of comfort and joy. While the reason most people want to be successful is to be happy, but who's to say we can't be both? Maybe it's better to be happy while you're becoming successful. It will improve your drive. That is just one of the many things I will be explaining to the audience reading this. So this is basically an introduction talking about the way happiness is processed through the brain, how it's developed, and how it makes people successful. Let's go to the second slide. Central Idea. We're going to be talking about how happiness and success is met together, and if it is true that both of the concepts work better when they're used together. Or if happiness and success should have its own category. Also reasoning with the audience about my point of view on the subject. How do you know it's better? This is going to give evidence and my claim credibility on how happiness causes success. Happiness is the cause for success. If you don't have happiness, what do you have? It gives you a drive that cannot be beat. Even right now, happiness can affect your reason for reading this. Happiness also affects the way you gain motivation. I know this because one article called Happiness and Success Connection provides information and evidence on this subject. For example, it states, success has been shown to increase the size of the hippocampus, which is important for learning and memory. Happiness, on the other hand, improves cognitive function by increasing connectivity between different brain regions. As previously stated, you can see happiness has an informational connection with your brain, making the brain process different ideas for success. Now isn't that a sorrowful clarification? So basically, we're stating in the introduction, we're stating my point of view, which is happiness is the cause for success. And then I put some rhetoricals throughout them. And then I say, happiness also affects the way you gain motivation, which motivation has a connection with the brain. And a brain has a connection with happiness. And then coming forth, you have the evidence provided to you, and then the conclusion that I'm confident of the claim I just stated. Next slide. What devices and appeals did I use to convince the audience? First off, I used irony to create a sense of humor at the end to have a confident conclusion on my paragraph when I stated, now isn't that a sorrowful clarification? Next, I used hyperbole as an exaggeration to convince the audience to keep reading. I did this by saying, it gives you a drive that cannot be beat. Lastly, I used karyos to persuade the reader about the relevance of the short story by asserting, even right now, happiness can affect the reason you're reading this. Basically, all in all, I used these rhetorics, the first one, which was irony, to create a sense of confidence, as I said, in the conclusion of my paragraph. Then I used the hyperbole as an exaggeration so the audience would want to keep reading to see what I meant by that. And then I used karyos towards the beginning to persuade the readers and make sure they know that the story would be relevant to them, not just in general, I'm writing this story for no reason. Then I have a summary and self-reflection. Overall, I think I got my point through about how happiness is the key to success. My diction is well played out through my point of view. The rhetorics can always use some work when I use them. The use of media was spot on for each slide as every picture serves a purpose. So my diction, I think I did good on. I don't think I really messed any punctuation up or anything. If I did, I can correct it. And the rhetorics kind of confuse me when I'm using them in a story that I'm writing. It doesn't process the same way that I think of them in my brain. And then the use of media, so every picture I used had a meaning to it and created a sense of absorption from the reader. You're just taking in what they're reading. But that's my presentation, Happiness and Success by Angela Grassi. Thank you.
