Before you write a speech, what do you need to know about your audience?

Knowing your audience —their general age, gender, education level, religion, language, culture, and group membership—is the single most important aspect of developing your speech to keep their attention

Before you would write a speech, you would need to know if the audience likes you. If the audience supports you. If the audience is on the same page as you/ understands what you are saying. You need to know what your audiance expects from you. Also you need to know what your audience wants from you. Lastly you need to know if your audience respects you. It is very important that your audience respects you, because if they don't respect you they will not agree with your speech therefore making them go to someone else to chose from.

Explanation:

I got this from my mind

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
