Bob's feedback:

"You're certainly passionate about your claims, and you've provided some great examples of the "other mother's" evil nature. However, lines such as "If you are telling me...then you need to reconsider what you believe in" severely undermine your credibility. Your role when giving a persuasive speech is to present arguments and lead your audience to a conclusion, not to tell them that their conclusions are wrong if they don't agree. You mention that she is the most evil villain, so you may want to describe the actions of other villains and demonstrate how "other mother" takes things a step further.

Work on laying out a logical, persuasive argument with a solid introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion to make sure your audience can draw logical rather than emotional conclusions.

It's good to open your speech with a hook, but make sure you have a thorough introduction with a topic sentence before getting too deep into your arguments.

There are several issues with grammar, sentence structure, capitalization, and punctuation that should be addressed -- even though this will be presented as a speech, conventions should always be followed when writing, and you may be required to turn in a hard copy of the speech."
