Cupcakes and Kalashnikovs-speech-

Dear parents,


We are here today to keep our children away from 'stranger danger'. As you know, we live in a society where children can travel with the permission of their parents, but careful thinking needs to be put in by you, when giving permission to your children. Parents who do not take full responsibilities could face a tragedy, just like Holly and Jessica. Children need to be taught to be careful, after the murder of Holly and Jessica and many more murder cases that have gripped the nation in recent years.



You need to teach your children to be careful of who they talk to, because nobody knows what can happen if they speak to someone they don't know. Tell them not to answer because I know you don't want to lose them.


You also have to question yourself, do I want my child to go missing and later find it in bushes or in a back garden? What is there I can do to prevent this from happening? Is there a solution?
These questions will be a start for every parent and will wake those who are less responsible.
Lets together, make it safer for our children, lets make sure they are taught to be careful. To stop another horror story that has stalked us for years...


Commentry:
The beginning of the speech begins with 'dear parents', this is useed to address the audience (who it is for). The use of rehtorical questions have been used several times, the three questions build on from eachother, this is used to make the audience (parents) think about it. The use of pronoun 'you' is used to direct the audience what to do and how to teach their children to be careful. In addition to that, the use of collective pronoun 'Lets together' is used to make the parents feel that we will be there for them and we will all work together to teach children to be careful. The text has also been used in this speech, 'to stop another horror story...' This is used to make the speech more powerful.
