Gang rape re cast task.

Recast task as a speech to a student audience at a girls school aimed at raising awareness of Gang Rape. (spoken, inform, teenage female audience).

I am extremely pleased to see such a high turnover in todays assembly, regarding the issues of gang rape.

There is a fine line between agreeing to have sex with one person and being gang raped by several people. A gang is a group of people bonded together, either by race, culture, territory, even age. But who gives the gangs the power to violate and gang rape a individual? Rape is where one individual does not consent to having sex however is forced to do so by dominant others, gang rape is where two or people people force a person to have sex with them. People who commit the awful crime of rape do not see it as ‘rape’ however as pleasure for themselves.

5% of all gang rapes happen to girls aged between 14-18, it is one in a hundred girls who are victims, although that does not sound like a significant amount of people, it is.

Girls, I know the following pointers may seem obvious, and you may feel like I am babbling on, but seriously girls you need to be careful with who you associate yourself’s with :

First of all, do not talk to strangers no matter what the situation,

be weary of people who act dodgy or too nice especially people of the opposite sex,

do not give people the benefit of the doubt even if they seem genuine,

the act of rape can occur to anyone of us females, however we have to take care of where we go, for example; a well educated sixteen year old girl was walking home from seeing her friends, she walks the same route five days a week, and on this particular day.. BAM.. she got raped and not just raped, gang raped.

What did she do wrong? Walk home.. that is all she did.

That is all I have time for today, but I hope this has helping you girls gain some information on gang rape.

Thank you all for listening.

Commentary :

The opening few sentences are used because they are stereotypically found in a speech, it consists of the topic which is going to be spoken about. The capital lettered word is used to add significance and emphasis, which enhances the innocence of the girl who was a victim of gang rape.

The example is used to emphasis that rape can occur to any individual, no matter what their race or age. In addition the example is used to make the audience interact with the topic and therefore engage themselves to the situation of which the girl finds herself in. The pronoun ‘you’ is used once again to engage the audience and to emphasis that they are the girls who are in danger of being a victim of gang rape.

I have chosen to place a statistic within the speech; merely, because the audience (girls) is more likely to listen to facts rather then the speaker talking about their own opinion.
