Hello. You forgot to put the excerpt that the question refers to.

The excerpt is the first two paragraphs of Martin Luther King's speech at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.

Answer:

  • Cite the themes defended by King:

1. He does not believe that his struggle was in vain.

2. He refuses to believe that the Nobel Peace Prize would be given to someone who has failed to change society's thinking on a particular topic.

3. He believes that society will change.

  • Present my goal with the speech:

1. Talk about how badness hasn't changed yet.

2. Present how we are rational beings liable to change.

3. Show how we should modify racist and prejudiced concepts in our society

  • Explain how I have changed racist concepts in my life:

1. Report situations of structural racism that I witnessed and / or participated in.

2. Show how the fight against racism has changed my thoughts.

3. Show what my role is in reducing racism in society.

  • Show how white people don't know what racism is:

1. Show how every white person is racist.

2. Show how we are part of a racist and oppressive system.

3. To show how racism is a subject where black people have the right to speak.

4. Show how we can help in this fight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outline of a speech provides a diagram showing the categories of topic and points within those categories that will form the necessary arguments for the speech to be created.

In the case of the outline above, we can see that I related Matin Luther King's speech to my position and how my life fits into a racist society. In this way I have established categories that can organize how my outline will be established, in addition to creating points that will guide my writing and will not let me get away from the proposed theme.
