 * 1) The purpose of the speech was to persuade everyone at the dinner table to follow their dreams and never let anyone tell them they can't do something.
 * 2) The audience is people at the dinner table. The people consisted of all the business employees and their one guest of choice who was supposed to be a freak. Each "freak" presented their talent or hobby. This was Barry's presentation. He was a mouse taxidermy.
 * 3) I believe that logos is the most prevalent one. He logically explains that because all these succesfull people in history followed their dreams and succeeded then you can too. He also uses pathos by relating the "follow your dreams", "never give up" theme to his friend Tim who's sitting at the dinner table. It makes it emotional when he's talking about how Tim never gives up on the thought of marrying his dream girl even though she keeps saying no, and it looks like it touches Tim emotionally judging by his facial expressions.
 * 4) Although it is pretty silly, the message is rather effective. His jokes make the audience more interested. There are a couple of logical fallacies used. Appeal to authority is kind of used because he is saying that all these famous well-known people followed their dreams and succeeded so you can to. But just because they're famous and succeeded in their dream doesn't mean that everyone else can. He also uses the You Also fallacy because he's saying that Tim also is a dreamer. It provides an example of someone all the people know who is following their dreams. So, if Tim is following his dreams then all of them should too.
 * 5) The argument could be strengthed by addressing the other side of the matter. Like what could happen if you gave up on your dreams and that might of given them motivation not lose hope.

It's mostly about the lies of beauty product commercials. It also talks about how the company that puts on a breast cancer walk is hypocritical because the company uses a substance in their products that is said to cause breast cancer. 2. The purpose is conveyed by people acting like theyre in commercials except the people are making fun of the commercials at the same time. For example, the woman talks about how she was born with her naturally beautiful hair and she's never used the shampoo she's promoting in her life. 3. The signifigance in our society is that commercials will be deceitful and go to all extremes to get people to buy their product. This is not morally right, and commercials should start being more real and truthful when saying what theyre product does or how amazing it is. It shows that society mainly only cares about one thing and that's making money. Integrity is completely thrown down the drain when it's integrity vs. making money.
