Difficult Presentations

(*Note) This blog is worth 25pts.  Turn to 448 in your textbook.  There you will find the story entitled, "The Coward," starring our intrepid heroine, Jennifer Sandman.  Apparently, Jennifer is about to give a presentation that does not sit comfortably with the town regulars.  They do not want a GrandMart in their little community.  In addition to all this, Jennifer thinks her boss is a coward.

Suppose you had to give a difficult speech in front of a hostile crowd.  How would you handle yourself? Would you risk your life to get your company's point across? Would you leave if the people got out of hand, and started to chuck stones in your direction? Though they probably would not put Jennifer's head on a pike, she could still be hurt by a hostile crowd. In the end, is it worth it?
