I wrote an Informative piece for my high school speech team. At the first speech competition I placed 6th, which is pretty good. I practiced really hard for the next meet, but didn't place. I was a little upset, I knew I had down better then some of the other presenters and wanted to know what I did wrong.
I got my score sheets from the judges back, and saw that the first two judges I had ranked me 4 out of 6, that is very good. The last judge is what kept me from winning. He ranked me 6 out of 6. His entire paper was praising my piece, expect the fact that I had, in his opinion, made a cliche statement.
This is that statement: "People bully for as many reasons as there are stars in he sky."
Is that cliche? Should I take it out of my piece? I don't know, could someone give me some advice.
