Below is a Biographical sketch of an American movies writer:
How Did Elvis Presley Achieve Recognition
Success often comes to those with humble beginnings, Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January
8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He first sang in a church choir and taught himself to play the guitar, but
he never learned to read music. By 1953, he had moved to Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from high
school, and enrolled in night school to become an electrician. That year, at Sun Records, Presley recorded
a personal record for his mother, a song that was heard by the company's president. As a result of the
president's recognition, Presley's first record, "That's all Right, Mama," was out in 1954.
He toured the South, and in 1955 five of his records were released simultaneously. His first
national television appearance was that year on Jackie Gleason's "The Stage Show," but Presley became
known for his appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," where the young singer gyrated as he sang "rock n'
roll" music. During the live television performance, Presley was photographed only from the waist up
because his motions were considered obscene.
"Elvis the Pelvis" began his film career in 1956 with LOVE ME TENDER and signed a long term
film contract. The movie critics were not always kind, but teenagers flocked to Presley's films. Within a
few short years, Presley had established a career that would span twenty-five years of ups and downs
and make him one of the most popular entertainers in history. Long after his untimely death at age 42,
Presley would be remembered as "The King of Rock n' Roll”

Rises the keening, petulant voice, begin
Green oily teeth to chatter and munch the cud.
Monsters, crawling the carpets of the world,
Still send from underground against your blades
The roots of things battalions green and curled
And tender, that will match your blades with blades
Till the revolted throats shall strangle on .
The tickle of their dead, till straws shall break
Crankshafts like camels, and the sun go down
On dinosaurs in swamps. A night attack
Follows and by the time the Sabbath dawns
All armored beasts are eaten by their lawns.

Ang sumusunod ay isang talumpati na may pamagat na SA KABATAAN na sinulat ni Onofre Pagsanghan.
Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino ay ang salitang NABANSOT.
Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang bagay na ito
raw ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit ay pinakamalungkot na uri raw ay ang
pagkabansot ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.

10. Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng paglaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang paglaki,
at pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng ating sukat at timbang. Kung ga-poste man ang
ating taas at ga-pison man ang ating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-iisip naman nati'y ga-kulisap lamang kay
pangit na kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man tayong tangkad-kawayan at bumilog man tayong bilog-
tapayan, ngunit kung tayo nama'y tulad ni "bondying" ay di mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking kakulangan.
Kung magkakatawan tayong katawang "Tarzan" at mapatalas ang ating isipang sintalas ng kay Rizal,
ngunit kung ang ating kalooban nama'y itim na duwende ng kasamaan-anong kapinsalaan para sa
kinabukasan.
Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng Inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa
kanya sa langit ng kasaganaan at karangalan o hihils sa kanya sa putik ng kahirapan at kahihiyan. Ang
panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw ay tumutuwid tayong
palangit or bumabaluktod tayong paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating mga ninunong kung ano raw
ang kinamihasnan ay siyang pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating
pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong magiging mga dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa
bayan. Huwag nating akalaing makapaglulublob tayo ngayon sa kalaswaaan at kahalayan at sa
mahiwagang araw ng bukas sigla tayong magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng pangarap
wala rin sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis ng gawa.

sa buhay ay ating kamtin.
