Do Now
Can you recall a quote, speech parable or lesson that inspired you, changed your perspective on life, or made you stop and think? Identify it and explain reasons why.
A quote that I know that inspired me was requoted by Danielle from America's Next Top Model because it basically meant that the only one who can bring you down is yourself and it's only how you look at yourself that could inspire you to become something bigger than what is expected of you.

"I am profoundly sorry" speech -Bill Clinton
Why is this a persuasive speech?
Clinton tries to redeem himself to the American people and he tries to regain our trust by persuading us to put ourselves in his place and relate. He uses Ben Franklin and his statement when he once said "our critics are our friends, for they do show us our faults." He apologizes to the American people for his conduct and asks for a second chance to redeem himself.
