      For your final speech you may choose from a Ceremonial Speech       of Tribute or a Ceremonial Speech of Inspiration. The Tribute       speech (p. 445) is a ceremonial speech that recognizes the       achievements of individuals, groups, or commemorates special       events. The Inspiration speech (p. 452) arouses an audience       to appreciate, commit to, and pursue a goal, purpose or set       of values or beliefs.       The focus of this speech is on building identification with     your audience and magnifying certain qualities of a subject     to stress the values they represent.
