Chp 7 and Chp 8

In chapter 7, the whole chapter describing the different supporting materials was interesting to me. Because for the most part, a single sentence definition is often said to describe "narrative" or " examples". Chapter 7 went into more depth upon each supporting material. It gave me a better meaning of what each means. From that I feel more comfortable using those different materials in my speech, because I have a better understanding of it.
As for chapter 8 showing the different patterns or organization help to put together a speech effectively. With the help of the supporting materials and the ways to organize certain speeches to an online, the speech can be presented very smoothly. Patterns help to determine what is needed for a speech. What to provide as the main points and sub points no matter what kind of speech it is. It can be a topical speech or informative speech, ect. I like how the chapter also provided a chart for the readers. It clarified the different patterns and also when to use each one.
