Answer 2

Speech is one of the most significant genres of English Literature, which connotes the marvel of expression in terms of language. It has hardly been marked as important in Literature, whereas the form of expression is almost divine for all sorts of users, and because of which all forms of language exist and co-exists. It's association with Literature is like ink to pen, and therefore it brings in to life the lifeless alphabets scribbled here and there. A speech gives meaning to a poem which was just a work of art lying helplessly somewhere. It is magic that recreates itself in someone's eyes and kindles endless emotions. In short speech is Power, and more as power of Understanding, as it gives legitimacy to any language.
