Understanding General and Specific Purposes

Write a paragraph describing the process of determining the general and specific purpose of a speech.

Then, using your topic, compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the two processes and list two examples of general and specific purpose statements. Back up your writing with details from your selected topic. Your creativity is encouraged here.
