Speech About Civil Rights Freedom
Hundreds years later the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of
prosperity.1954 the day when African Americans were marching down on 6th street to fight for the
civil rights freedom. I saw the kids leaving the classrooms to go march down the streets with my
fellow classmates and i decide i want to fight for our freedom so i left school to go down 6th street
and protest for our civil rights freedom. All i heard was the sounds of dogs and firehose being
launched at my fellow African Americans and then i could also hear the sounds of everyone saying
let us have our civil rights freedom we want them back now we won't stop until we have them.
Martin Luther once said my fellow African Americans are freedom is nearly here he just have to
keep fighting for our freedom and not let nothing stop use. Rhetoric was important back then
because Martin Luther King wants to show to us that we can't give up we have to keep fighting until
we have our freedom unless we want to live the rest of our lives in slavery. We want to stop the
whole racial inequality and slavery and end poverty and just live in a peaceful environment and live
in harmony and live together in brotherhood. They think they can boss us around but i think not we
have to stop letting them boss us around and stop racial inequality and show that we should have the
right to do what we want in our life. Martin Luther King Once said The powers that be rule over a

Did John F Kennedy Influence Martin Luther King Jr
John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. are both influential men from the nineteen–sixtie's.
They impacted the American people in countless ways, changing our country forever. John F.
Kennedy was the thirty–fifth and youngest president of the United States ("John F. Kennedy").
When Kennedy was elected into office, he gave an inaugural address that will be remembered for
centuries. Martin Luther King was an African–American baptist minister from Atlanta, Georgia
("Martin Luther King Jr. Biography"). When Martin was growing up, his father fought strongly
against racial prejudice, which left an impression on him that would last forever ("Martin Luther
King Jr. Biography"). He went on to lead the civil rights movement and is best known for ... Show

John F. Kennedy's speech was proving to the nation, and world, that with him, nothing could bring
America down. "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price,
bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and
success of liberty" (Kennedy 511). Martin Luther King delivered a much more emotional speech
which showed he was extremely genuine about his cause. In "I Have a Dream", Martin uses his
beliefs and past experiences to join the people together. Martin lived in a time where all Americans
were promised "the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (King 371), but
the white men still segregated the black men. After a complete comparison of the great speeches
given by Kennedy and King, there are many similarities and differences. While they both spoke to
American Citizens, King addressed those supporting him and Kennedy addressed everyone. Both
speeches were written to unify the American People. Despite different causes, they both believed in
our country's ability to be great. Their speeches may have been given in two different style,
Kennedy being more businesslike and King being very emotional, but each of them delivered a
speech that changed our nation and that will be remembered in our country's history

Why I Want To Be A Society Of Trout Persuasive Essay
I would like to participate in the Society of Fellows because I am a lover of philosophy and it seems
as if the Society of Fellows mix topics that intrigue me into one program, which is a great fit for me.
The Society of Fellows examines the American Constitution, the same way my Constitutional

says, but also asks what it means, and how that meaning of particular words has changed over time.
This is the reason I am ecstatic about the program, being able to be a part of a program that looks at
the Constitution in ways many do not try to. Also, to be able to belong to a program that does this a

Harlingen High School's Argument Analysis
Throughout our lives, we will come across other individuals whose opinions differ from ours.
Whether we decide to shadow their beliefs or stay strong to our own, it is how we handle the
situation, as well as what we take from it, that shapes our character. I am now aware that, for the
most part, it is best to have your own voice and remain firm to what you believe in instead of
changing your views in order to please others just to fit in. As senior year approached, I had made
the decision to tryout for Harlingen High School's cheerleading squad. Being placed on a team of
thirty–two girls, it was surely unavoidable to become caught up in disagreements. For instance, in
June of 2015, our squad traveled to Austin, TX to attend UCA (Universal Cheerleaders Association)
cheer camp. At camp, the five seniors on our team each competed for UCAAll–American, an award
given to select individuals through a tryout process. Later, during camp, the cheerleaders who

Essay On If I Were A Soldier At Valley Forge
"These are the times that try men's souls" wrote Thomas Paine on Valley Forge in his book
"American Crisis". Valley Forge is the camp that George Washington and the Continental Army
stayed at during the winter of 1777. Valley Forge is located 18 miles away from Philadelphia. The
conditions that the soldiers had to face through the tough winter is the worst they have ever
experienced. If I was a soldier at Valley Forge I would choose to reenlist. I would choose to reenlist
because my fellow soldiers need me, I'm supported by my country, And I'm not a summer soldier.

The conditions are tough but I still need to stay. As said in "American Crisis" by Thomas Paine "
These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in time of
crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love of man
and woman." (Doc.D). Also in Dr. Waldo's journal it talks about how the soldiers are still cheerful
even through these tough times. "...Now begins to grow sickly from the continued fatigues they have
suffered this campaign. et they still show a spirit of alacrity [cheerful willingness] and contentment
not to be expected from so young troops."(Doc.C). These show that even through tough times we
will stay fight willingly because we are fighting for our country. I believe in the cause I'm fighting
for so why would i quit. I will keep fighting until we have gotten our independence or untill I die.

The World Is Not A Victory Of Freedom
We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom––symbolizing an end as well
as a beginning––signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty
God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago. The
world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of
human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our
forebears fought are still at issue around the globe––the belief that the rights of man come not from
the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs
of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that
the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans––born in this century, tempered by war,
disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage––and unwilling to witness or
permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and
to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it
wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any
friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge––and
more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of

Persuasive Essay On Respect In Society
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for
your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what,
together, we can do for the freedom of man", states the revered and sound late President Kennedy, a
man who truly believed in the cruciality of respect within and for the nation one inhabits. A society
is not only the making up a community, but it is a factor reflecting the ideals of justice, morality, and
the overall character of every individual within the given society. Without respect, without
consideration for the greater good, there is simply no reasonable possibility of a prospering and
flourishing society ever emerging. In this current world one experiences day in and day out, the
slaughtering of the innocent, the unrelenting violence, the angst between races, and the lack of
integrity all influence the declining of our once thriving nation, therefore causing a termination to
the aspects of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Within the last year, if one were to access

My Social Role In The Polish-American Community In Chicago
Socialization is the process by which individuals learn how to act in society which can be done
through observation and/or learning from other members of that particular society. Overtime, a
culture is created in which social roles and their designated scripts become part of the society. Many
times, social roles go hand in hand with one's self–identity. For instance, I consider my Polish
ethnicity as one of my social roles, and moreover, a self–identity. My Polish culture provides me
with a social role of participating in the Polish–American community in Chicago. Through my
social script, I take part in my Polish culture by going to Polish school, being part of a Polish
folklore dance group, and by taking part in different Polish organizations in Chicago. On a similar

At the conclusion of the Gilded Age America began to move into the Progressive Era. Immigration
during this era was exploding with significant differences from the initial mass immigration before

Unemployment: Support Our Fellow Americans by Representative Caroline Madsen, Liberal New

Greetings my fellow committee members. We need to support our nation's people in this time of
need. In the year 1934 the U.S. reported that there were 21.30% of people without a job. This means
that of the 39+ million people in the U.S. 8,286,243 people are living without an income. With no
jobs these fellow Americans have no way of supporting themselves. Our proposal lends a helping
hand to every family that has no income. We currently do not have any system in place for people
with no jobs. This means that even if they have no money coming in they are still charged for life.

With more people getting jobs then the percent of unemployed would go down which causes the
percent out of yearly income to go down. We would like to work to get unemployment percentage
low enough so that only around 2% of yearly income goes to unemployment.
The idea we have for after we help get unemployment down is to keep it at 2% and start putting
away money to protect if the unemployment rate goes up again. This would help safeguard our
families from an income percent increase and still support families that are unemployed. This means
for you if you ever lost your job you would be guaranteed $750 a year to help you get back on your

In conclusion, we need to support our fellow Americans who are in need. With 21.30% of our
Americans unemployed. The plan we laid out helps only people who are actively searching for jobs.
Since we currently have no system in place, we aren't doing anything to help them. The method we

“And So My Fellow Americans, Ask Not What Your Country
"And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for
your county" (MacSiccar, 1995, p. 46). People don't realize that phrase was borrowed by JFK from
one of America's least memorable presidents, Warren G. Harding. The reason that quote is now
remembered in today 's time is because of John F. Kennedy, one of the most iconic presidents ever,
in his presidency and his life, achieved many accomplishments.
Early Life Throughout high school history classes, we have discussed many of the past presidents
who have had major impacts on America and how they have shaped this country today: John F.

an appendectomy and it caused him to not be able to finish the school year. In the fall, he was sent to
the same college preparatory school as his older brother, Joe, Jr., had went to two years earlier: the
Choate School in Wallingford, Connecticut. When JFK got there, his brother was already one of
outstanding athletes and scholars in the school but JFK could never be either. His grades were low
and he was too small to even make the varsity football team, then he was also troubled with a bunch
of sickness, and to top it off, he was a little rebellious. He graduated in 1935 and was only ranked
64th out of 112 students. One year, while playing football, he ruptured his lower lumbar disc, this
stopped him from playing football ever again and caused him lots of pain for the rest of his life.
During JFK's senior year at Harvard, he wrote a paper that all of his mentors liked and he graduated
cum laude in 1940. Then a publisher that his dad knew published JFK's thesis and it sold 80,000
copies. This was the first time he came out from his older brother 's shadow at the age of 23.

Rhetorical Analysis Of John F. Kennedy's Adgural Address
John F. Kennedy's inaugural address was a carefully composed speech, that conveyed the primary
goals of the incoming president in a convincing way. It is important for the president to have a
strong inaugural address, because it informs the people of one's intentions as president. In order for
President Kennedy's address to be effective, he uses rhetorical strategies. Through the use of
rhetorical strategies, President Kennedy supports his objectives with reason and logic to appeal to
the people's desire for security and structure. He also alludes to his good character to make the
people feel safe and trust him to guide them. In the address, President Kennedy uses emotion to
make a connection with the people, this makes him seem more relatable and connected to the
people. These are strategies used in an attempt to persuade the audience to trust President Kennedy.
In President Kennedy's inaugural address, he convincingly conveys his message to his audience,
through the use of rhetorical devices. The use of anaphoras allow President Kennedy to stress his
message by repeating a word at the beginning of successive clauses. This helps to emphasize his
point to the audience. For example, President Kennedy uses an anaphora to express the importance
of bringing both sides together, and having them work together for the benefit of the country and its
citizens. "Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which
divide us. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the
inspection and control of arms––and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the
absolute control of all nations. Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its
terrors"(Address). Kennedy also starts a series of paragraphs with "To those." This allows Kennedy
to personally address the people he will be working with during his presidency, by making specific
promises to them. It helps to create a personal bond with citizens, and other countries. This is
important because if people trust the President, the President will be more likely to achieve his
goals. As well as anaphoras, President Kennedy uses hyperphoria to gain the trust

My Fellow America Rhetorical Analysis
I don't begin my speech today with the classic introduction "My fellow Americans" because I am
speaking to more than just Americans today. While several stories come to mind, a multitude share
one similar to mine, coming from a mixed background into a country that has opened its doors as a
land of opportunity and a second home. Those who have built a life of significance have often
extended a helping hand to many who did not have the same prospects or success in their own
ventures. This is the unifying thread in the saga of the American epic and what I seek to revitalize as
President of the United States.
Native to all tales of America are accounts of achievement, people who took from their sweat and
labor untold riches. The path to their goal was often marred by monumental obstacles, naturally

posture of selfless action. As a result, I will be volunteering once again next year in the Dominican

Silent Majority Essay
English 1613.010 March 25, 2011 Nixon's Silent Voice In a nation divided by war in 1969, Richard
Nixon delivered a speech with the hope that it would bring Americans together. At this time the
American people stood divided on their views on the war. Many people wanted to withdraw from
the war and many people supported the war in the quest for peace. The Vietnam War had already
been going on for quite some time when Nixon came into office. Nixon was the second youngest
president; he came to office in 1969 as the 37th president of the United States. (Sheppard) The goal
of his speech was to unite the nation as he pursued the war and to try to win peace. Americans were

It also makes him authoritative which that is the job of being president. He is authoritative because
he is standing strong in his decisions and plans for the war. In effect he tries to wipe the bad guy
image he may have obtained by being the man in charge of a nation at war. Nixon wrote his speech
with the acknowledgement that the war was of great concern to his fellow Americans. He then based
that concern in a way to establish an emotional connection with the audience. He continued that
connection with the audience by developing questions which many Americans listening to this
speech would have already raised themselves. For example Nixon asks, "What choices do we have
if we are to end the war?" By asking these questions he is showing that he understands the concerns
of what the people have on the Vietnam War. He also makes it seem like he is not just making a
speech to make him look better; he has taken in consideration the feelings and concerns of the
people. By asking questions this sets up a balance early in his speech which he would then continue
on by examining the facts and answering those questions. For this reason it makes him seem like he
has a caring heart and is not just out for another vote in the ballot box. Another question Nixon asks
is "How and why did America get involved in Vietnam in the first

Margaret Kvelson Biography Essay
Margaret Kivelson was born in New York City on October 31, 1928. Raised in an American family
surrounded by science, her father was a medical doctor and her mother had an undergraduate degree
in physics. She knew in high school that she wanted to follow her parents footsteps into science, and
applied to Radcliffe College, Harvard college for women, in 1946. The separation of the men's and
women's colleges had occurred in answer to the start of World War II. In 1957, with her thesis
"Bremsstrahlung of High Energy Electrons", she completed and was awarded her PhD in Physics.
Based in Santa Monica California, Kivelson worked as physics consultant at the RAND Corporation
from 1955 to 1971. Here she received the opportunity to research the interactions of electron gases
and plasmas with mathematical techniques like those of quantum electrodynamics. She took a brief
leave from 1965–1966 to support her husband's sabbatical leave in Boston. During this time, she
was able to conduct scientific research at Harvard and MIT. In 1967, motivated by her experiences
through the Radcliffe Institute, Kivelson joined UCLA as an assistant geophysicist. Quickly
climbing through the ranks of the geophysics and space physics communities, she became a full

John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Speech
John F. Kennedy's inaugural speech "Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You" left a respected
impact on the world as he used multiple rhetorical devices in order to provoke the audience's
feelings, convince of his character, and test their logic. One of the ways John F Kennedy
successfully reached his audience was by provoking their feelings. He creates a patriotic feeling by
calling out Americans "...born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter
peace, proud of our ancient heritage" (Kennedy). After creating a feeling of patriotism, he then
attaches to the emotions of those who are connected to "the graves of young Americans who
answered the call to service surround the globe" (Kennedy). By creating a patriotic ... Show more

By doing this, he was able to persuade his audience easily. "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not
what your country can do for you–ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the
world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man"
(Kennedy). When Kennedy stated this, he caused his audience to reflect on what they are doing,
which was at the time asking more from their country than what they were willing to do. "Kennedy's
famous closing words expressed the need for cooperation and sacrifice on the part of the American
people" (History.com Staff). This then caused many people to begin to rally together for the greater
good. The people gave wondrous thought into what Kennedy said, which is obvious from his still
current standing of respect from Americans. Without John F Kennedy's outstanding use of rhetorical
devices, such as ethos, pathos, and logos, he would have had a much harder time attempting to
successfully persuade his audience. By using these rhetorical devices, he connected with the
audience, proved himself worthy to listen to, and tested their logic. These rhetorical devices allowed
John F Kennedy to more easily persuade his audience and also create a respected impact on the
world. Without the use of these rhetorical devices, Kennedy would not have been taken as seriously

Taking Down Tyrants "Give me liberty or give me death," – Patrick Henry. The pursuit of of their
freedom is the current mission of the American Army, who find means to standby their cause
through hardships. It's 1777 and there's a war between between the Americans and the British.
George Washington, the leader of the continental army, has struggled to keep his soldiers fighting
for their freedom. He is keeping his troops in Valley Forge, 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia,
where the British are located. My 9 month enlistment will be over on February 1st, , and I have to
decide to stay or go. I'm going to stay for these three reasons. To be loyal to my country, to motivate
and lift the spirits of my fellow soldiers, and fight for my country. I'm going to stay and fight

Thomas Paine reaches a point in The American Crisis where he begins to describe the wrath and
cruelty of British rule. During this description, he describes, "Britain, with an army to enforce her
tyranny... (Paine.)" Paine is showing just how Americans should not be held under these unwanted
circumstance and should be free from Britain's power. They are not treated the colonies with much
respect at all. Thomas Paine stays on the topic of Britain for a while, and continues to make
analogies. In one of the analogies of The American Crisis he states, "if being bound in that manner is
not slavery, there is not such a thing as slavery on Earth (Paine.)" Just the fact alone that he is
comparing Britain's rule with slavery is enough to make you think that they don't treat us Americans
well. It makes the will to break the connection with Great Britain even longer. This needs to be

Racial Discrimination
Racism has been an international catastrophe for many centuries. With all of the advances in modern
society and human behavior, racism is still a crisis that many people have to deal with. It can occur
in any place or at any time, including in the workplace. Racial discrimination arises when someone
is treated differently based on their actual or perceived race. Many people believe that if one were to
be in the vicinity of a respected workplace that they would be respected by all co–workers and
employers; this is in no way true. A big amount of minority employees are affected by racial
discrimination in the workplace whether it's from their employers or their fellow co–workers. Racial

There are many instances where employers/employees are not even aware that they are
discriminating against someone. Although they might not be aware of it, when employers hand out
hiring tests and have hiring practices that single out people, that is considered racial discrimination
as well.
Racial discrimination in the workplace does not only occur between the employer and the employee,
it could happen between employees and other fellow employees. There have been numerous
instances where employees of color are treated with disrespect from other co–workers. They
associate African–American co–workers with racial slurs and can be very rude to them as well. With
all of these negative interactions occurring, there are still many instances where the problem is either
dealt with poorly or not even dealt with at all; and that is something that needs to change. As I stated
before, there are many problems associated with racial discrimination in the workplace that are left
unattended. Those problems are associated with many solutions as well. For example, if a company
starts up an anonymous racial discrimination complaint service, it would most likely make a lot of
minorities feel a lot more comfortable in the workplace. Whenever a racial situation comes across in
the workplace, employees can anonymously report the situation without being judged by fellow co–

Kennedy challenged America to be the best they could be. He knew that if the citizens of America
worked together, nothing could stop them. That line put hope back into citizens hearts, knowing that
their president had faith in them and wanted to protect freedom at all cost. Now, maybe not his most
well known line; "My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what
together we can do for the freedom of man." John F. Kennedy was telling everyone in the world that
if they didn't have freedom, if they were trapped by communism, America was by their side. He
intended the world to know, that The United States of America would do everything they could to

my aunts and cousins would not have had a comfortable life growing up. My family was very
fortunate to receive the education they had, gifts and food that she provided and grew up in a safe

This can be connected to the course concept of Social Welfare and the appreciation for the Social
Welfare policies and programs as an expression of society's attempt to enhance social functioning.
In order for low–middle class couples married or not, and single–parents to function socially, it is
imperative that there are programs just like these. Programs like these demonstrate an appreciation
for these Social Welfare policies that affect so many people. Without these couples receiving the

Speech About Civil Rights Freedom

  • 1. Speech About Civil Rights Freedom Hundreds years later the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of prosperity.1954 the day when African Americans were marching down on 6th street to fight for the civil rights freedom. I saw the kids leaving the classrooms to go march down the streets with my fellow classmates and i decide i want to fight for our freedom so i left school to go down 6th street and protest for our civil rights freedom. All i heard was the sounds of dogs and firehose being launched at my fellow African Americans and then i could also hear the sounds of everyone saying let us have our civil rights freedom we want them back now we won't stop until we have them. Martin Luther once said my fellow African Americans are freedom is nearly here he just have to keep fighting for our freedom and not let nothing stop use. Rhetoric was important back then because Martin Luther King wants to show to us that we can't give up we have to keep fighting until we have our freedom unless we want to live the rest of our lives in slavery. We want to stop the whole racial inequality and slavery and end poverty and just live in a peaceful environment and live in harmony and live together in brotherhood. They think they can boss us around but i think not we have to stop letting them boss us around and stop racial inequality and show that we should have the right to do what we want in our life.

  • 3. Did John F Kennedy Influence Martin Luther King Jr John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. are both influential men from the nineteen–sixtie's. They impacted the American people in countless ways, changing our country forever. John F. Kennedy was the thirty–fifth and youngest president of the United States ("John F. Kennedy"). When Kennedy was elected into office, he gave an inaugural address that will be remembered for centuries. Martin Luther King was an African–American baptist minister from Atlanta, Georgia ("Martin Luther King Jr. Biography"). When Martin was growing up, his father fought strongly against racial prejudice, which left an impression on him that would last forever ("Martin Luther King Jr. Biography"). He went on to lead the civil rights movement and is best known for ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... John F. Kennedy's speech was proving to the nation, and world, that with him, nothing could bring America down. "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty" (Kennedy 511). Martin Luther King delivered a much more emotional speech which showed he was extremely genuine about his cause. In "I Have a Dream", Martin uses his beliefs and past experiences to join the people together. Martin lived in a time where all Americans were promised "the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (King 371), but the white men still segregated the black men. After a complete comparison of the great speeches given by Kennedy and King, there are many similarities and differences. While they both spoke to American Citizens, King addressed those supporting him and Kennedy addressed everyone. Both speeches were written to unify the American People. Despite different causes, they both believed in our country's ability to be great. Their speeches may have been given in two different style, Kennedy being more businesslike and King being very emotional, but each of them delivered a speech that changed our nation and that will be remembered in our country's history ...

Why I Want To Be A Society Of Trout Persuasive Essay I would like to participate in the Society of Fellows because I am a lover of philosophy and it seems as if the Society of Fellows mix topics that intrigue me into one program, which is a great fit for me. The Society of Fellows examines the American Constitution, the same way my Constitutional Rights class discusses it, it asks more of people than to just know what the American Constitution says, but also asks what it means, and how that meaning of particular words has changed over time. This is the reason I am ecstatic about the program, being able to be a part of a program that looks at the Constitution in ways many do not try to. Also, to be able to belong to a program that does this a wonderful experience to have. Society of Fellows dissects the Constitution, and this is something I have always wanted to do with a group of individuals who has the same excitement level as I do while doing it. These are the reasons I would like to participate in the Society of Fellows. I expect to contribute my knowledge in discussions and my different view points on certain topics and issues to the fellowship class of 2016–2017. Society of Fellows seems to put and emphasis on in–depth exploration and philosophy. Being a philosophy minor and taking a few classes to do with philosophy within political ...

  • 7. Harlingen High School's Argument Analysis Throughout our lives, we will come across other individuals whose opinions differ from ours. Whether we decide to shadow their beliefs or stay strong to our own, it is how we handle the situation, as well as what we take from it, that shapes our character. I am now aware that, for the most part, it is best to have your own voice and remain firm to what you believe in instead of changing your views in order to please others just to fit in. As senior year approached, I had made the decision to tryout for Harlingen High School's cheerleading squad. Being placed on a team of thirty–two girls, it was surely unavoidable to become caught up in disagreements. For instance, in June of 2015, our squad traveled to Austin, TX to attend UCA (Universal Cheerleaders Association) cheer camp. At camp, the five seniors on our team each competed for UCAAll–American, an award given to select individuals through a tryout process. Later, during camp, the cheerleaders who happened to make All–American were announced. It was soon discovered that each five seniors had received this award. I assumed everyone would be full of joy. However, to my amazement, the atmosphere appeared much different. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Each of them felt they were significantly more deserving of obtaining this award than I was and did not believe I had earned it. Although I remained confused about why my fellow squad members wouldn't be happy for me, or even all of us, I initially followed along with their beliefs. In order to prevent them from turning their backs on me as well as excluding me, I agreed that I did not deserve the award and forced myself to be unhappy simply to satisfy them. I allowed them to control my emotions and lay negative thoughts inside my mind. For most of my life I would try to please others in order to fit in, therefore, this situation was no ...

  • 11. Essay On If I Were A Soldier At Valley Forge "These are the times that try men's souls" wrote Thomas Paine on Valley Forge in his book "American Crisis". Valley Forge is the camp that George Washington and the Continental Army stayed at during the winter of 1777. Valley Forge is located 18 miles away from Philadelphia. The conditions that the soldiers had to face through the tough winter is the worst they have ever experienced. If I was a soldier at Valley Forge I would choose to reenlist. I would choose to reenlist because my fellow soldiers need me, I'm supported by my country, And I'm not a summer soldier. The first reason I would reenlist would be that my fellow soldiers and friends need me. Valley Forge had very harsh conditions many people were freezing or sick. They need my help. In ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The conditions are tough but I still need to stay. As said in "American Crisis" by Thomas Paine " These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in time of crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love of man and woman." (Doc.D). Also in Dr. Waldo's journal it talks about how the soldiers are still cheerful even through these tough times. "...Now begins to grow sickly from the continued fatigues they have suffered this campaign. et they still show a spirit of alacrity [cheerful willingness] and contentment not to be expected from so young troops."(Doc.C). These show that even through tough times we will stay fight willingly because we are fighting for our country. I believe in the cause I'm fighting for so why would i quit. I will keep fighting until we have gotten our independence or untill I die. I'm no summer soldier, I will fight even when it gets tough, and I deserve love from man,woman and my country.

  • 13. The World Is Not A Victory Of Freedom We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom––symbolizing an end as well as a beginning––signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe––the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans––born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage––and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge––and more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

I have read and focused on the works of a lot of good poets. Allen Ginsberg is an amazing poet. He is legendary. The work that he has done will always be remembered. I like the person Ginsberg was when he was growing up. People spoke a lot about him. Nowadays people still follow his work. He was born in Newark, New Jersey. Ginsberg attended high school in Paterson, New Jersey. After high school Ginsberg attended Columbia University where he graduated from in 1948. Writing poetry was one of Ginsberg's strengths. His famous poems mean a lot to some people. A lot of people are living the same way Ginsberg lived just by reading his poems. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The thoughts most people are scared to share they was not. Ginsberg writing showed a lot of people how to express themselves. I am learning how to express myself more by reading Ginsberg's poetry. Nowadays Ginsberg is still a motivator. I wished the poet was still alive. He would change a lot of things other than literature. The beat generation made people want to come together and work as a team. Ginsberg went through a lot of things growing up. He was wise. He knew how to lead his fellow beats. He had the experience. Allen prayed for the better, but prepared for the worse. It felt like he wasn't afraid of what would happen to him. Nothing he experienced in his life lead him to have those thoughts. Nothing I had experienced in my life led me to expect what would happen to me in my loneliness(Morgan,2006). I wish I had Ginsberg's mindset. He had 20/20 vision. That is what his fellow beats loved about him. Allen didn't want to take all the credit for all his work and accomplishments. He wanted his fellow beats to be recognized as well. They did things together from city to city and Ginsberg wanted everyone to know that. I like the fact that Ginsberg wasn't a greedy person that wanted all the attention.

I believe my background and experiences will allow me to become an advocate for the Vietnamese community, and will help our country take more steps into social justice. The Vietnamese community here does not have many first–generation students that are involved in community and leadership. There are only two first–generation, Vietnamese American students at this college. The Vietnamese represent 70% of the Asian population in Grand Rapids. I grew up, seeing with my own eyes, with the social issues and effects of oppression in our society. As a first–generation student from immigrant parents, I believe I can apply my knowledge of third– world cultures, all ranges of socioeconomic and racial communities, racial issues, and social reconciliation to the trip and the community. I believe being a part of a leadership will allow me to learn stories from another place in this country, as well as share my experiences as a low–income immigrant child during the trip. ...

  • 23. Persuasive Essay On Respect In Society "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what, together, we can do for the freedom of man", states the revered and sound late President Kennedy, a man who truly believed in the cruciality of respect within and for the nation one inhabits. A society is not only the making up a community, but it is a factor reflecting the ideals of justice, morality, and the overall character of every individual within the given society. Without respect, without consideration for the greater good, there is simply no reasonable possibility of a prospering and flourishing society ever emerging. In this current world one experiences day in and day out, the slaughtering of the innocent, the unrelenting violence, the angst between races, and the lack of integrity all influence the declining of our once thriving nation, therefore causing a termination to the aspects of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

  • 47. Rhetorical Analysis Of John F. Kennedy's Adgural Address John F. Kennedy's inaugural address was a carefully composed speech, that conveyed the primary goals of the incoming president in a convincing way. It is important for the president to have a strong inaugural address, because it informs the people of one's intentions as president. In order for President Kennedy's address to be effective, he uses rhetorical strategies. Through the use of rhetorical strategies, President Kennedy supports his objectives with reason and logic to appeal to the people's desire for security and structure. He also alludes to his good character to make the people feel safe and trust him to guide them. In the address, President Kennedy uses emotion to make a connection with the people, this makes him seem more relatable and connected to the people. These are strategies used in an attempt to persuade the audience to trust President Kennedy. In President Kennedy's inaugural address, he convincingly conveys his message to his audience, through the use of rhetorical devices. The use of anaphoras allow President Kennedy to stress his message by repeating a word at the beginning of successive clauses. This helps to emphasize his point to the audience. For example, President Kennedy uses an anaphora to express the importance of bringing both sides together, and having them work together for the benefit of the country and its citizens. "Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms––and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations. Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors"(Address). Kennedy also starts a series of paragraphs with "To those." This allows Kennedy to personally address the people he will be working with during his presidency, by making specific promises to them. It helps to create a personal bond with citizens, and other countries. This is important because if people trust the President, the President will be more likely to achieve his goals.

At this time the American people stood divided on their views on the war. Many people wanted to withdraw from the war and many people supported the war in the quest for peace. The Vietnam War had already been going on for quite some time when Nixon came into office. Nixon was the second youngest president; he came to office in 1969 as the 37th president of the United States.

In effect he tries to wipe the bad guy image he may have obtained by being the man in charge of a nation at war. Nixon wrote his speech with the acknowledgement that the war was of great concern to his fellow Americans. He then based that concern in a way to establish an emotional connection with the audience. He continued that connection with the audience by developing questions which many Americans listening to this speech would have already raised themselves. For example Nixon asks, "What choices do we have if we are to end the war?" By asking these questions he is showing that he understands the concerns of what the people have on the Vietnam War. He also makes it seem like he is not just making a speech to make him look better; he has taken in consideration the feelings and concerns of the people. By asking questions this sets up a balance early in his speech which he would then continue on by examining the facts and answering those questions.

When Kennedy stated this, he caused his audience to reflect on what they are doing, which was at the time asking more from their country than what they were willing to do. "Kennedy's famous closing words expressed the need for cooperation and sacrifice on the part of the American people" (History.com Staff).
