Using the art of rhetoric, write a short speech arguing why
you deserve a free ice-cream or treat every week of class for this semester.
Most often, eating ice-creams and/or treats are considered a
distraction during class. Also commonly deemed as foul behaviour due to the
noise made unpacking it, disrupting quality education. However, studies have proven it otherwise.
In accordance to Lisa Baertlein, writer of Everyday Health, it is stated that treats do play a role in maintaining individuals’ concentration and alertness for glucose from such food is capable of giving oneself an additional mental boost for the brain. Beating post meal sleepiness on one hand and boosting brain chemical serotonin on another, it results in a mood lift capable of lasting through the dullest of slides. (No offense).
Besides the nutritional benefits, treats are able to invoke taste buds of the tongue, giving it the ability to maintain one’s attention span and possibly to battle fatigue developed from the lack of sleep caused by multiple horrendous deadlines. For the brain is vital in the absorbance of knowledge, amino acids from certain treats have the function of increasing the production of neurotransmitters, another of those cells which helps regulate concentration effectively. This in turns provides the mental energy, enough to fuel through the class with clear focus and zero doodling.
And with that, this is why I deserve a free ice-cream or treat every week of class for the rest of this semester.
