Convincing speech to mum

Pathos: As I am getting older, as I am socializing more, as I am out of the house more, I believe I should be allowed weekly pocket money. Every other guy in my year gets pocket money, I never have had it nor ever asked in my life. I have always wanted to get pocket money but never asked. I think it's about time that i do so.

I think that I should be allowed to get $30 a week. $30 a week would support me with what I need and my social life. On the weekend I might want to go to the movies with some friends, instead of asking you for some money for lunch, movie and train, I could use my own money. This money would also be used after school when me and some friends go up to Gordon or Wahroonga shops for something to eat and drink. This $30 doesn't limit me to just the weekend. I could also start saving up this money instead of going out so that i will be able to afford my own car for when i turn 16. 


In conclusion I think that I should be allowed to have $30 to support my social life and future life. It would help me messily and I would appreciate it very much 


Logos: Have I ever asked for pocket money? Have I ever complained about getting pocket money? Well I think its about time. I would like to get $30 pocket money per week. 


Giving me pocket money each week will not only allow me to socialize more, but it teaches about how to budget my money so i know what to spend on what and how to save money. It will teach me lessons for future life. Not only will it teach me life lessons but it allow me to socialize more, in doing so, I will be out of the house more which allows you to relax more. It will allow me save money now so that in later life i will be able to buy stuff for myself instead of asking you more and more, it will be beneficial for later life. 


To finish up I would just like to say again that giving me pocket money per week would be a wise and smart thing to do.


Ethos: As I stand here in front of you.... with my pockets empty, wallet empty and my social life empty, I would like to ask you to give me, your son, pocket money each week.


 All I ask of you is to let me be able to have $30 a week so i can go out with my friends to the movies and shops on the weekend. All I ask of you is to give me $30 a week so that i can have fun after school with my friends before I come home and start my homework. All I ask of you is to give me, your son $30 a week. It would be a great moment in my teenage years if I would be able to have weekly funds. It would be great to able to buy my own car one day, it would be great to buy my own house one day, it would be even greater to  say it started from this day on, when i get weekly pocket money. 


All I ask of you is that you think about what I have said here today, and think about my life with my own money, and your son being able to be able to say the money is his.
