This commencement speech set out to inspire the graduates to
find careers that made them happy. He suggests that it does not matter exactly
what you do, as long as it is good art. He supports his purpose by stating that
you cannot plan your life, so there is no point in trying.
Scene: University of the Arts graduation
Act: Commencement Speech
Agent: Neil Gaiman
Agency: Addressing the graduates
I believe that there is a very important relationship in
this speech is the connection between purpose and agent. Because he is an
artist himself, his listeners are persuaded to believe his message. The very
high level of self-disclosure allows for his listeners to understand that he
only did what made him happy. Without this strong relationship, this speech
would not be persuasive at all.
