Swimmer Speeches
Your stomach is churning, while the butterflies inside are beating away. You feel like throwing up,
but nothing comes out. You feel anxious standing on the block. Your legs shake with the fear of what
will happen in the next few seconds, but for some reason you have never felt stronger. Your heart
feels as if it will lunge out of your chest as you wait for the horn. You feel your feet leave the block.
While the icy water cascades your body, feeling as if you had been shocked. Then all at once the
butterflies leave, the shaking desists, and you feel nothing but power. Your body becomes one with
the water, your thoughts hush to a silence. Each movement more graceful than the last. You turn
your head to size up the competition with each breath. It only lasts about thirty seconds, but to you,
it feels like an eternity. One wrong move and the lead is lost. One great flip turn and your lead is
untouchable. Every second, every half second has never meant more than what it does in this
moment. Then you finally touch the wall, turn to the scoreboard to see you qualified for leagues as
well as first in your heat. This is the life of a swimmer. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Truthfully, I didn't believe I would participate in anything because I really suck at sports. I blame my
mother's genes for that. Then I came to the swim booth. The big seniors were sitting behind the table
yearning for recruitment. My dad was standing next to me when I decided that I would try this new
sport. He believed I was only joining for the team dinners, which was part of the decision, but three
years later I realize the real reason why I joined. I wasn't just joining a swim team. I was joining a
family that would shape me into the person I am today. The person I will be at

Commemorative Speeches
It is the early spring of 2016, a hot, sunny Friday afternoon. Dozens of us sit together, side by side,
in rows of metal folding chairs in the Events Center. We wear nice formalwear. We listen
impatiently to long speeches. When the ceremony is over, we are congratulated by our families, and
we are officially finished with the school year, the honor roll students of the school district, in the
town of Taylor, Texas. For many of us, the curtain has come down on easy schoolwork. Afterwards,
I find Donald Edwards, my dad, and introduce him to my teachers. In his sandy tan suit, he looks
like a cross between a businessman and a desert lizard. He has blue eyes, thinning black hair that
curls on his head, a roundish nose, and black tufts of eyebrows. Although his beard and mustache
are nearly covering his mouth––as if his hair were unkept vines––when he smiles it's as if you'd just
told the first joke on earth. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He tells them, "You have a committed student here." Before we leave, I hand my dad my award, a
tan paper with navy blue outlines. I had won it for getting A's and B's Freshman year. I was proud of
the award. And he was proud of me for winning it, too. "Mack, you are one of the smart ones," he
says, admiring the award. Then he hugs me. I am smaller than he is, and when he hugs me, I feel
tiny, as if I were still only 7 years

Homeless Speeches
Good morning,
I wanted to bring something up to your attention and maybe if you're already away of the situation
then just get informed and educated on it. I work in Downtown Phoenix, AZ and on my way home I
occasionally stop at a Circle K store on Van Buren and 17th Avenue. Tuesday night 6/30/2015 I
visited the store and found a man in his 20s working the register I believe his name started with an
"R". While in line a gentleman came in and began to place his backpack on the counter. Your
employee working the register stated very loudly "the other one too" referring to the other bag in his
possession. In my opinion it was very polite or professional at all and to be honest a bit belittling
and embarrassing. The gentleman complied which in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I gather this is due to the location of this particular Circle K. Allow me to explain – Downtown
Phoenix houses a majority of our homeless population and offers housing in the form of shelters not
too far from this location. Like a number of our major cities we do not have enough beds available
in our shelters to accompany our entire population and many are forced to also sleep on the streets.
Many of your customers while I was there were of the homeless population who do not own homes
or cars and what possessions they do own are housed in their backpacks which were all placed on
the counter near the entrance. I understand the theft concern which I'm sure is why this is enforced
but my concern was if this was an actual Circle K policy and if so what measures is Circle K taking
to reduce liability for items stolen or lost while they are made to sit on the counter only five feet
from the entrance. Like I said before these customer asked to do so have their entire lives in those
backpacks and what might not seem valuable in terms of a monetary value some items they carry
with them are priceless and not

Valedictorian Speeches
Valedictorian Address Students, administration, staff, family, and friends, welcome to the
commencement for the Class of 2017, Hanover High School's 125th commencement. Graduation is
an exciting time... both an ending and a beginning filled with warm memories of the past, and
immense dreams for the future. Should we reminisce on the past four years, or instead focus on the
next stage in this journey called life? We've been impatiently waiting for this day for many years,
and now, we just want to hit pause. We want to slow it down, and enjoy the last fleeting moments
before we graduate. Our lives will be forever altered after we toss our caps into the air. Before
fervently throwing our caps into the air though, we can not overlook or forget the true dimensions of
being graduates, the Class of 2017. The Oxford Dictionary defines a graduate as "a person who has
successfully completed a course of study or training". Well, in our case, this certainly holds
truth...but this only touches the surface of our true potential and ... Show more content on

Our athletes have worked tirelessly and have contributed to the success of our teams, some even
receiving recognition at the state level. Working diligently in the classroom, we have risen to new
heights and have already achieved so many of our goals and dreams. In addition, not only have we
excelled on the stage, field, and in the classroom, but we have also given back to the school and
community while harnessing our leadership potential through multifarious organizations such as
Key Club, Student Council, National Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, and Link Crew.
Our students have participated in many prestigious programs as well, including Rotary Youth

Persuasive Speeches
I just want to thank you for what you have accomplished for the California School District these
past years. I do have one concern though, and I am sure you have looked into it before, but I would
like you to reconsider the situation. In past years, many students have wondered why we do not have
a soccer team. Having a soccer team would open up so many different paths in the high school for
students, staff, and even the community.
We have a lot of students that have revolved their whole life around this sport, soccer, but now they
have nowhere else to go because the high school does not have a soccer team. Some of these
students could have the potential to play college ball, but they will go unnoticed because of this
situation. The California School District has done such a fantastic job with fulfilling their students'
dreams, as well as getting kids involved with activities, so do not stop where we are now, but instead
let's keep improving to become a well–rounded school. If California had a soccer team, we would
also become more popular and well–known. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
These new facilities include the Performing Arts Center, additions to the weight rooms and AG
shops, football stadium/multipurpose field, and the baseball/softball field. Since we already have the
new turf football field, the school would not have to pay as much for the soccer field. Other schools
like Osage and Camdenton use their football field as a soccer field. It is such a nice convenience.
Please consider what I have told you in this letter about getting a soccer team. It would be greatly
appreciated from me and especially from some of my fellow peers. Having a soccer team would do
so many great things for our school. Thank you so much for your

The Speech Of Steve Jobs
Speeches come in all shapes and sizes, some fantastic, some horrible, some motivational and some
inspirational. The one detail I can tell you there is always a few that will linger and stick around in
your head. These speeches go through history as being remembered and studied for decades. A few
that come to mind happen to be "I have a dream" by Martin Luther King, "Never give up...Don't
ever give up," by Jimmy Valvano and "You've got to find what you love," by Steve Jobs. Each and
every one of these speeches was written by men who were challenged to make difficult decisions in
their lives which would inadvertently affect their future in one way or another.
The most current speech of the four is Steve Jobs' "You've got to find what you love." His speech
targets college graduates of the 21st century. After I read Steve Jobs' speech, I understood the power
of his words. At the beginning, he stated that he, unlike the graduates, never graduated from college;
he dropped out after 6 months. Additionally, he reveals information about himself throughout the
speech, such as being adopted, and the fascination for calligraphy. At the age of 20, Steve and a
friend created Apple, a computer company in his parent 's garage, later to be fired from his own
company. But of course that did not stop Jobs; he ended up creating two more companies called
NeXT and Pixar. Presumably, the scariest time in his life started when he was diagnosed with an
incurable pancreatic cancer

Frederick Douglass Speeches
Frederick Douglass was an anti–slavery activist in the 19th century that was born a slave, left for
England and returned to United States a free man. Called the "father of the civil rights movement".
He has written speeches that transformed the civil rights movement from before the Civil War and to
this present day. He influenced the rise of organizations including women's group and African
American groups to fight for their rights as citizens of the United States.
July 4, 1852, Frederick Douglass wrote "The Hypocrisy of American Slavery". Frederick Douglass
was a slave that left for refuge in England to escape re–enslavement. In 1847 he returned to the
United States a free man after purchasing his freedom from financial help of English ... Show more

Some of his statements in his indictment are: "I am not included within the pale of this glorious
anniversary", "Sunlight brought life and healing to you has brought stripes and death to me", "I hear
the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday". These statements in his
indictment are truly from a scorned man that had experienced cruelty in face of slavery. Witnessing
his self and fellow people whipped, starved and control by cruel masters.
He argued about the unequal injustice of blacks versus the white men "72 crimes subject blacks to
death and only 2 of them subject whites to same punishment". For Frederick Douglass,
Independence Day was a "sham" a "boasted liberty an unholy license". How can so many celebrate
freedom and Independence when so many were still slaves in bondage, so many inequalities in race,
and so many crimes against humanity in the black community?
Frederick Douglass to many was the Father of Civil rights movement. He envisioned America as an
inclusive nation strengthened by diversity and free of discrimination. He was the leading voice in
the 19th century. He focused on the full integration of African Americans into the political and
economic life in the United States.
The anti–slavery crusade of early 19th century served as a training ground for women suffrage
movement. He supported women's rights movement and women's suffrage. In 1869 a group was

after hearing brave stories of my friends and other survivors I know that this horrific experience

don't want but can't get rid of it, and just like cancer there's no cure, but the sooner you get help it'll
just get a little better. A–B–U–S–E ¨It's not the bruises on the body that hurt, itś the wounds of the
heart and the scars on the mind¨ I personally, see abuse as a way of others to let out their feelings
and emotions, in such a way that can offend others, mentally and physically. You can bend it and
twist it, you can misuse and and act rapacious towards it but even God cannot change the truth. But
you know what, my family always tells me that God will always close a door for you, but only to
open up a better one. This next quote explains the importance God has in our lives, God will always

Snapchat Speeches
Before I deliver this speech, let me just check my instagram and snapchat. Oh no there's a video of
someone doing this speech. I'm probably not gonna do as good as that guy but let me find out. I
need to put my phone away. Okay.
Now, the amount of followers on instagram and the number of views on snapchat are constantly
stressing us out cause there's always someone with more. An article on businessinsider.com says that
today social media dominates users'attention with nearly 20% of total time spent online in the US
across both desktop and mobile devices being on social media, Facebook alone making up 14% of
that total time. Teens alone spend about 9 hours using media for their enjoyment according to
CNN.com. Those 9 hours don't include using media at school or to do homework. Some 13 year
olds check social media 100 times a day for god's sake. That's like what 5 times an hour, so that's

Honors Speeches
Good afternoon honors students, staff and family members. It is an honor for me to be representing
Mesa college in such an amazing occasion. As we all know, we are here today to celebrate another
year of the Honors Program, and let me tell you that when I was first offered this opportunity I had
such a difficulty deciding what topic I wanted to focus on for this speech. There are so many
elements that make the honors program so amazing and successful. From the opportunity it gives us
to challenge ourselves, to the fact that it makes us stand out when we apply to universities, it is
always there to help us positively. However, there is one main element of the honors program that I

Surprisingly, I also became one of the top students in my classes and decided to challenge myself
with advance, honors and eventually AP courses. But then something very strange happened, my
friends started to tease me and to an extent point hate me because of how nerdy I was. Every time I
would mention how excited I was because I'd aced another exam or project I would get rolled eyes
or comments about how annoying I was. It was very upsetting to see that I was not capable to
celebrate my success with my friends or have a conversation about subjects I was interested in. This
caused me to limit my expressions and eventually change how I acted around my friends. I know a
lot of you are probably thinking that those people whom I called friends were not true friends,
because of their actions towards me. But don't get me wrong, they were good persons, we just had
different priorities and perspectives of live. By the time I graduated from high school I knew that
even though I had a nice group of friends I was not completely happy. I desired to have a group of
people whom I was able to completely be myself and had common

Martin Luther King Jr. " I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character " quoted
by Martin Luther King Jr. ( Brainyquote.com). Martin was a great man because he was a great
helper, a good leader, and believed in being fair and kind to people. I loved what Martin Luther King
did for us to make our country better. I think that if Martin didn't do what he did we would still be
struggling with trying to be free. I am so glad that we had Martin Luther King in our lives because if
we didn't it would be different Martin Luther King was a man that believed in non racialism. His

together. Martin makes a good leader today in our daily lives and every year we honor him and
remember what he did for us. In schools we write about him just like i am doing now. We also draw
pictures, poems, and essays of him at schools. He also made our community easier so we don't have
to go to different bathrooms and restaurants we can just share and be kind to everyone. In schools
we learn about him and what he did for use. It is never boring to see and hear all the amazing and
great things he did. It is really cool to think of how hard it all must have been to go through the
things he went through. No one knows if he ever thought that he would be free. I don't think anyone

Persuasive Speeches
There are three types of persuasive speeches. There are speeches of Value, Fact, and Policy. The first
one speeches of Value are when speaker tries to convince listeners that their personal value
judgment is true through the way they use their words or tone. In speeches of value, we argue about
whether something is right or wrong and moral or immoral. Just like you would do with questions of
fact, you can create your main points by asking a strategic question in your thesis of "Why is this
good?" or "Why is this moral?" The answers to this question will give you the speech's main points.
We will use "Euthanization of dogs is inhumane" The organization will be Topical because you use
the question of why or how to set the specific purpose. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For example, in a "Euthanization is inhumane" speech, you might make your first main point to
define when an it can be considered inhumane or what makes it inhumane. In most cases though it
would be made clear what you mean by inhumane or moral or good. But in cases where it isn't you
can include what you mean by it, or saying inhumane, in your introduction or in your first main
point. You will want to take in consideration what type of audience you're speaking to. Whether it be
a animal rights group, PETA, people who don't even know what euthanization means, approach this
subject with some sensitivity. You as the speaker are not asking the audience to do anything about it
but just to believe that it's not a humane thing to do. The next type of persuasive speech is the
speech of fact. With any of these speeches you will need a thesis. Begin with a thesis that states that
something can be proven, that it happened or didn't happen. Usually the material used in the speech
should be and will be presented with an organization of topical order. It's very important to consider
the evidence being presented cautiously. Ask if it is even possible that the observations actually
happened or

Have you ever looked up at someone because of their accomplishments? What about Nelson

that was so incredible? Nelson Mandela was amazing because of his speeches and how he risked his

Although she didn't have that great of a life, Harriet Tubman was a spirited child. As Ann Petry
states "There was something free and wild in Harriet...". This shows that this had help spark the
braveness in Harriet Tubman, and dare to help get all the slaves to Canada in the Underground
Railroad. When she was helping the slaves escape, she had to watch out for the patrols because from
her childhood, they were always her worst fear. "...furious hoofbeats meant the patrols were going
past, in pursuit of a runaway"(Ann Petry). Even when she was older, she dreaded these sounds.
Lastly, Malala Yousafzai. She was amazing because she went through a life changing situation at the
age of 15. As the author stated "In 2009, Malala began writing an anonymous blog for the BBC
expressing her views on education..."(Charlotte Alter). This shows that at a young age, Malala
Yousafzai cared deeply about education for young girls. But later on, disaster struck. A masked
gunman went on Malala's school bus, and Malala "...was shot with a single bullet which went
through her head, neck and shoulder." Therefore, due to her blogs and public opinion, she was shot.
Malala was just a teenager when this happened, but fought through it. As Charlotte Alter reports, "A
couple of days later, she came out of a coma and responded well to treatment" Malala Yousafzai
elucidated that she ¨...immediately saw images of Pakistanis fill my screen...beautiful Pakistanis

Informative Persuasive Speeches
First of all I would like to thank professor Zajac for giving me the opportunity to present a
persuasive speech about the topic I really cared about. Researching and speaking on this particular
topic was a phenomenal experience to me. The classroom environment was as usual very conducive
as usual for my persuasive speech without which the speech would have been less effective. The
applause, smile and attention of my audience was once again very amazing. It helps me boost my
confidence and keep me focused throughout my speech. In the following paragraphs first, I am
going to write about the specific strength I demonstrated during my persuasive speech as well as
well as the specific limitations I had in contrast to my informative and tribute speech. And second, I
will reflect on the overall public speaking experience I had. The topic was very unusual. Who would
argue not to help a continent that has been affected by so much poverty. So I used my prior
knowledge of the subject matter and researched very well. And I read lots of online articles and
books. As such the content of the speech outline was very good. Very detailed. My sources were also

the way I used analogies to make the speech persuasive and help my audience understand what I am
talking about. Throughout the speech I was hand free and I didn't have the note in my hand all the
time. I like the way I used connective between my main points as such compared to my tribute and

My Speech
When I began writing my commencement speech I knew that I wanted to use humor as a main
theme. When we watched the speech examples in class the ones that I really took material away
from and the ones that stuck with me the longest were the ones that were funny and had humor
sprinkled throughout. Other than the humor part I had no idea what I wanted my speech to be about
but I knew that I needed to stick with a common theme throughout or it would be a mess. Once I had
the reoccurring dream about the tiger I took that as the universe's way of telling me that my speech
should incorporate that so I decided to go with the theme of choices. I was really excited once we
got the initial assignment as I love to talk and I really enjoy attention. However, once I actually
started writing my speech I found that it was a lot more difficult that I had initially anticipated. The
beginning of the speech was easy for me as it was the dream I had had so I just wrote that down. The
middle of the speech was where I had the most difficulty, I wanted it to be funny but I also wanted
to speak to the choices and experiences that I hope everyone has taken away from Seattle
University. I really wanted to convey my own passions about treating every person equally and with
curtesy. The end of my speech was also relatively easy to write as they are things that I have
grappled with a time or two before and things that I feel every person will have to choose between at
one point or another

looks like it's overflowing with papers. You know him. He goes to school with you. He is in the
same grade but not once have you ever spoken to him. He is walking on the other side of the road
from you and you are both headed in the same direction. At the end of the street you notice some
kids, yelling names, cussing, fighting, and overall just throwing a barrage of verbal abuse towards
this little nerd. You know what it feels like to be beaten and abused. You know how difficult it is to
not have that many friends. You watch as the nerdy kid trips ... Show more content on

He had an important assignment. He sounded so sad. You flash another smile and invite him over for
some homework help, you may not be the smartest kid ever but you had some study skills. He looks
at you and smiles hesitantly, saying how nice that would be. Four years later, you are sitting in a
crowd with your fellow classmates, watching the nerdy kid from the road, your best friend, giving
the valedictorian speech. He stands and says, "Life is not always what you expect it to be. The
choices you make affect everyone around you. My freshman year I was alone. I was so tired of the
stress, of the pain, that I made up my mind to do what I knew I needed to do. One day, I cleaned out
my locker so my mom wouldn't have to. I thought if I took it all home, I'd be able to feel better
about my decision. It was a long walk home for a freshman carrying six large books and as I walked
I planned how I would do it." You gasp as you listen, you've never heard this, but you remember the
day. "I'd lock my room; I can't let my baby sister find me, it would hurt her too much. And I had to
make sure to leave a note for my mom. I'd written a thousand already, what's one

Firefighter Speeches
Congratulations! Can you believe you finally made it? How does it feel to be a
firefighter/Paramedic? I'm glad you continued to want to be a firefighter. You can finally have the
chance to help others and save lives. Did you ever consider not becoming a firefighter? Hopefully
you are pleased with the decisions that you have made so far. Just look at what all you have
accomplished. You got a college degree, made it through the fire academy and became a
firefighter/paramedic. Time sure does fly by fast.
I hope you are still a down to earth person and you didn't get caught up in the moment. It is not hard
to get caught up in the moment and forget who you are. I hope you are still as friendly and nice, as
you were when you were younger. Although

"A man is loved not for how tall he stands, but for how often he bends to help, comfort, and teach."
(Anonymous) This is quote sits on my dad's nightstand in a brown, oak frame. It pictures a little boy
and his dad kneeling to help tie his son's shoes. I remember when my dad knelt to help me also tie
my shoes, but through the years my dad has fulfilled this quote. He has helped me, comforted me,
and taught me. That is why today I would like to tell you about his impact on my values, faith, work
ethic, and goal setting. One of the things my dad, Brad Van Regenmorter, has taught me is the
importance of character through good values, knowing right from wrong. For my dad, there isn't

He always uses this word "karma," which means the good you do, you will eventually receive back.
Sometimes not caving into the wrong is very hard. There have been times when I've felt left out or
behind because I didn't want to be involved with something I knew I shouldn't be. However, dad's
"karma" always seems to happen like he says it will. Maybe not right away, but when I least expect
it. For example, I was debating what car I should take to prom this year. My mom noticed a red
Camaro sitting on the corner at Mulder Oil. She mentioned it to me, but I said, "Scott, won't let me
take that." She told me to go in and ask because you don't know unless you ask. The next day, I went
in to talk to Scott. He told me that some others had asked him about taking it to prom as well, but he
had told them no. Much to my surprise, he then told me, "You, though, Mitch, can take it. You're the
kind of kid I can trust with it." There's that karma Dad talks about happening. My character and
values that I try to show every day in what I do and say benefited when Scott said I'm the kind of
kid he could trust with that expensive

Speeches In The Revolutionary War
Revolutionary Speeches The revolutionary war was a time well known in our history. We grew up
learning that all the colonists were tired of the way Britain treated us, what they don't show at a
young age is that not everyone wanted to fight. Not everyone believed that fighting the British was a
good idea; some thought it was smart to stay loyal to the British for they had the biggest militia at
this time. The only way to face something like that is through encouragement, inspiration, and the
wise words from men who want to stand for what they believe in. Many men had the same ideas,
this shows that the repetitive ideas were for emphasis and persuasions. Men like Thomas Paine,
George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Patrick Henry all gave speeches to encourage the
people of America to stand up and fight for what's right. Not only did they sacrifice their careers,
some also fought in the war. If someone was to lay their life on the line for something that had little
to no survival rate, little to no people would do it. Very few men had the courage. Washington is a
well–known historical figure for leading the way through the revolutionary war. As Washington
states before the Battle of Long Island, "The fate of the unborn millions will now depend, under
God, on the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As acknowledged previously in this comparison about slavery from both Washington and Paine,
Henry as well speaks of it in his speech. "For my own part I consider it as nothing less than a
question of freedom or slavery" (Henry). All the speakers keep returning to the fact that they feel
like they are being treated like slaves. He also states that he would rather die than stay under the
king's tyranny, "Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me,
give me liberty, or give me death"

Steve Jobs Never Give Up
Speeches appear in all shapes and sizes, some fantastic, some horrible, some motivational and some
inspirational. The single detail I can tell you there is always a few that will linger and stick around in
your head. These speeches go through history as being remembered and studied for decades. A few
that come to mind are "I have a dream" by Martin Luther King, "Never give up...Don't ever give
up," by Jimmy Valvano and "You've got to find what you love," by Steve Jobs. Each and every one
of these speeches was written by men who were challenged to make difficult decisions in their lives
which would inadvertently affect their future in one way or another.
The most current speech of the four is Steve Jobs' "You've got to find what you love." His speech
targets college graduates of the 21st century. After I read Steve Jobs' speech, I understood the power
of his words. At the beginning, he stated that he, unlike the graduates, never graduated from college;
he dropped out after 6 months. Additionally, he reveals information about himself throughout the
speech, such as being adopted, and the fascination for calligraphy. At the age of 20, Steve and a
friend created Apple, a computer company in his parent 's garage, later to be fired from his own
company. But of course that did not stop Jobs; he ended up creating two more companies called
NeXT and Pixar. Presumably, the scariest time in his life started when he was diagnosed with an
incurable pancreatic cancer later

Scrolling through Twitter, you see a friend has posted a mocking photo of a girl from class that is
always reading comics and answering all the questions. You share it with Thomas, a boy in your
Geometry class. He sends you back laughing emojis and shares it with his friend. Moving on, you
see multiple people have retweeted it and some popular girl has posted it on Snapchat with the
phrase, "weirdo," attached. The next day in school, everyone is talking and laughing about it,
including you when you see the girl running down the hallway towards the bathroom, wiping tears
from her eyes. No one follows her to see if she's okay and there's no way you will; you want to

Julius Ceaser Speeches
Julius Ceaser a roman tragedy based on a true story takes place in B.C. Julius Ceaser a well known
soon to be king was so interested in power and his friends though it would get to his head if he had
decided to be king. Consulters had brought together a plan to take out ceaser so he wont be king.
The dawning of the day appeared and it was time for ceaser to be taken out and stabbed to death.
Julius ceaser's friend Marc Antony was very heart broken and stepped up and gave his heart–
warming speech about his dear friend that got stabbed. There were two speeches that were presented
at Ceasers funeral that day two of which were his very dear friends and they were heart broken and
wanted the people of Rome to catch the idea of the awful tragedy that they had just done. Marc

15, 1929 in Atlanta Georgia. Dr. King's name was Michael but his father changed his name when he
was five. He had traveled to Europe and changed Dr. King's name in honor of a sixteenth–century
German church reformer. Dr. King grew up in a home with a lot of religion and his father was a
minister at a baptist church. He graduated from Booker T. Washington High School and later
received part of his college education at Morehouse College. Dr. King married Coretta Scott on June
18,1953. Dr. King would become a man never to be forgotten. Martin Luther King brought others

King's most basic principles was that love can change the hearts of all people. Dr. King shows a
great example of how to be a community full of serivce. At times he brought thousands of people to
work together for a common goal. Those goals were not always the same but they all were to do
good. He was one man who changed thousands of lives and still impacts our communities today. We
all have a role in living out the dream of Martin Luther King today. Many of Dr. King's dreams have
become a reality in today's world. In his famous "I Have A Dream" speech he said "I have a dream
that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of
their skin but by the content of their character." In today's world there are people of all races that are
treated equal. In school, African–Americans, Whites, and all foreigners are allowed to learn
together. We all share the same restrooms and drinking fountains, Dr. King left a message that never
will be forgotten. If there is one responsibility for us today to live out the dream of Dr. King, it is to

Beowulf Speeches
Welcome everyone and thank you all for coming. As you all may know I am the use to be King of
the Geats, Hrothgar. Today we should not be said for the lost of Beowulf for he had accomplished
many things in his life, instead we celebrated these accomplishments and rejoice in the bravery,
wisdom, and strength he had shown throughout his life. My greatest memory I have with Beowulf
was the time that my kingdome was in great trouble and panic over this great monster named
Grendel. Grendel had started to use fear and death to rule over the people of my country. He would
come, stalk, and kill some of the toughest and greatest of soldiers, but with the help and strength of
Beowulf, we were able to restore the peace of my land. After the defeat of Grendel, I knew that he
was for sure the son that I never had the chance to have. I called him over and asked if he would be
my son. I knew from that day on that there was nothing he would do to dishonor me or himself. I
have never been prouder of anyone in my life. More in depth, there were prominent characteristics
that made Beowulf who he was. Overall, his greatest strength that he had was his bravery. He was
one of the bravest soldiers that has lived. First of all, I always ... Show more content on

Without the wisdom it could be said Beowulf would have no bravery. The one time that I recall that
Beowulf's wisdom stood out the most was the time that he planned out how to defeat Grendel.
Beowulf looked from different aspects and perspectives to devise a plan cleaver enough to win. He
decided that instead of going to Grendel's cave to win, he would lure Grendel to come to him giving
himself a greater advantage. This way, Beowulf would know the surroundings therefore Grendel
would be the one that had to face the surprises and unplanned challenges. The definition of wisdom
greatly identifies with Beowulf: wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good

Graduation Speech : Commencement Speech
Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013
graduates of Butler University. So here it is. My own commencement speaker, who shall remain
nameless, began with a lame joke about how these speeches only come in two varieties: Short and
bad. This raised my expectations, and then he went onto speak for 26 minutes, so I'm just going to
tell you now: 12 minutes flat, 11:45 if you don't laugh. Congratulations to all of you here today, and
I do mean all of you–parents, families, friends, professors, coaches. Every single person in Hinkle

honored tradition of American commencement addresses: Stealing from other commencement
addresses, in this case one by the children's television host Fred Rogers. Think, if you will, of some
of the people who helped get you to today, people who've loved you and without whose care and
generosity you might not have found yourself here, graduating from Butler, or watching someone
you love graduate, or seeing your students graduate. Think for one minute of those who have loved
you up into this day. I'll keep the time. Those people are so proud of you today. We will return to
those people soon, but first I have to deliver

Comparing Religious Speeches
In the world of speeches, two powerful types of speeches stand out above the rest. Church sermons
and campaign speeches are very important. Both speeches can be life changing and change the way
you see the world. Church sermons and campaign speeches are both performed for crowds in public
places. Since these types of speeches are based on beliefs, people choose whether or not to believe
the speakers. While church sermons and campaign speeches share these similarities, they differ in
what and who they are meant for, who gives the speeches and for what reason, and the final
outcome of the speeches.
In contrast, church sermons are more meaningful than campaign speeches. Church sermons are
meant for Christians who are trying to better themselves as the Lord's children. The sermons help
people lift back up to their feet after the Devil knocks them down. The sermons are so powerful that
they can speak to someone from the inside ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Church sermons are more meaningful than campaign speeches because they are meant to bring
people closer to God; campaign speeches are meant to help people pick who they want to elect. The
speaker of a church sermon is speaking for a better cause than the speaker of a campaign speech
because the preacher presents the sermon to help others reach salvation before it is too late.
Candidates present their campaign speeches to help themselves receive a title. A church sermon can
have a better outcome than a campaign speech because church sermons can lead anyone to a better
life for eternity; campaign speeches can lead to either a better or worse outcome. Church sermons
are overall better than a campaign speech because living eternity in Heaven is much better than
trying to fix a world that has already been

Comparison of Speeches
Comparison of speeches
This is a comparison of John F. Kennedy's and Martin Luther King's speeches. First I will analyze
them individually, then I will compare and contrast the two different speeches. Kennedy's inaugural
speech establishes what his vision is for the world; global unity, supporting freedom, and human
rights for all of humankind. He believes the world would be much stronger and could conquer any
problem as a whole rather than being divided. In the beginning of Kennedy's speech he starts off
with ' we' which brings forth a feeling of unity. He wants listeners to feel proud and support America
and that they should protect it at any cost. The inaugural speech gave people what they wanted to

Whereas Kennedy's speech gave the people exactly what they wanted to hear. Kennedy's speech
contained much more figurative language than King's speech, although King did include a fair bit. I
think Kennedy's speech was more developed than King's speech because Kennedy had more literary
devices and structure to his speech. Obviously Kennedy had highly educated speech writers to do
this job for him whereas King wrote his speech by

Instead of accepting King' speech and condemning Malcolm's, it is essential to dig deeper into what
made them different but in many ways similar. Everyone knows or have heard of Martin Luther
King's speech I Have a Dream. In King's speech, he stated that America is unware of the problem of
black injustice. The blacks have not been free for a long time, and that they refuse to believe that.
He quoted the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal, which includes black
men. Along with the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address and the Bible were some
of his inspiration behind his captivated speech that moved both blacks and whites. He vouched that
there is debt in America's bank, not the check, but the justice bank. The country is full of segregation
and inequality, but no one realizes that. He addressed that this is the time to make justice available
for all god's children. King successfully expressed his opinions which emotionally affected his
mixed audiences of blacks and whites. This speech was successful due King's sensitive approach to
his mixed audiences, ingenious use of style, and inspirational tone. He delivered his message with
images that touched his audiences and at the same time gave them a glimpse of the future where
blacks and whites live in harmony. "I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons

Carol Degeneres And Bo Jackson Commencement Speech
Ellen DeGeneres and Bo Jackson Commencement Speeches In the commencement speeches before
the Classes of 2009 at Tulane and Auburn University, well known TV talk show host Ellen
DeGeneres and former baseball and football player, Bo Jackson, deliver two compelling speeches
inspiring their audiences to go into the real world and be the best person they can be. Bo Jackson
and Ellen DeGeneres both successfully utilize their own techniques in order to get their message
across. DeGeneres has a lighter approach often making jokes but delivers her message of being true
to yourself and finding who you are. Jackson's address is more serious tone yet still inspires the
audiences to get out of their comfort zone and make your parents proud. After high school,
DeGeneres did not know what she wanted to do with her life. At the age of 19, one of DeGeneres'
friends was killed in a car accident and DeGeneres was living in an apartment basement with no
money. She suddenly had a calling from God and realized she wanted to be the first woman on the
Tonight Show and take the path of stand–up. However, this was a challenge for her to constantly
hide her secret of her being gay. She was worried people wouldn't listen to her and was living with
shame and fear. Eventually, DeGeneres came to realization that she wanted to be honest with herself
and she told everyone who she really was. Even though she did not receive any job offers for three
years she knew she was doing the right thing due to the

How did something as patriotic as our national anthem get turned into a disrespectful display and a
form of protest. As a child, I thought it was the coolest thing to be able to celebrate our country and
the people who defended it through a song. As I got older and joined the band, I felt honored to be
able to play the national anthem for our Veterans Day program and for our high school sporting
events. Both of my grandfathers served in the United States military My grandpa on my mother's
side was drafted when she was just a baby. He got sent overseas while my grandmother had to raise
my mom by herself. I've also had an uncle and numerous family friends serve for our country. A
young man from my community named Nick Riehl was killed in battle a few years ago. When his
sister Roselyn spoke at our Veteran's Day ceremony, I don't think there was a dry eye in the room.

Hitler Speeches
Adolf Hitler became very popular for the captivate speeches that he gave, he was very persuasive
and engaged with Germany with trying to make it better. He made huge impacts on people's lives
during the holocaust and was able to get Germany to a very high point in society. After world war,
Hitler used his popularity to collapse what was left of the Weimar Republic. Hitler had a mind of his
own, and he used his power of speech to get people to believe what he believed in. Hitler's
leadership was very significant to the whole world, especially Germany.
Born on April 20th, 1889 Adolf Hitler was brought into the world by his parents, Alios Hitler and
Klara Hitler. Hitler was baptized a Catholic, even though his grandfather was Jewish, and he
attended Roman Catholic Church. In 1898, him and his family moved to linz, Alios wanted Hitler to
join the Habsburg Civil Services, but he wanted to follow his dreams and become an artist. Shortly
after his father's death, he persuaded his mother to allow him to follow his dream. Hitler then took
the exam to the Vienna Academy of Arts, a Jewish academy, but he was declined. After moving to
Vienna, he hoped that he would be able to persuade them for acceptance, but they still did not
change their minds, this is when Hitler first started to hate Jews.
Hitler was a man with very powerful words. On October 16th, 1919 Hitler have his first speech, this
embarked on his political occupation in Munich, about 100 people attended. About a month later,

common? They are all derogatory remarks that humans call one another on a daily basis. Why can

reason is because of the First Amendment right of free speech. The first amendment gives people the
right to basically say anything that comes to mind whether it is something nice or something like a

The censorship will not ban anyone from saying derogatory remarks in the privacy of their own
homes and or with their families. For example if a grown up and tell his or her children it is all right
to use these words, the censorship will not apply. However, if this same person tells their children
that he/she can go around using these words and phrases to anyone they so chose, then the
censorship bill will come in to effect. If there is a censorship bill that comes into effect, the people
of America will not feel as if they are who they used to be. Meaning that because from our
beginning we were able to say what ever came to mind, and where ever we were. If the censorship
bill come into effect this will be no more, or will it? The bill would not let people say these phrases
in public, not prohibiting anyone from saying them at home or even thinking about them. The basic
rule of the Censorship Bill is that no persons are allowed to say or do anything in public that will be
considered offensive.
The argument of what is offensive and what is not offensive will arise and have to be answered for.

words that one may come up to compensate for the loss of these words. These words are considered
to be offensive, not only to those at the butt of the name calling but for those who

Education is knowledge obtained in order to reach one's full potential. A human being is not in the
proper sense until they are educated. Two commencement speeches, "Failure and Imagination" by
J.K. Rowling and "Real Freedom?" by David Wallace, and an article titled "The 4–Stage Response
to Low Student Achievement" by John Lemuel, all have several aspects of education in common
and provide knowledge and inspiration about the real idea and necessity for education. In these
works, they all use personal experiences, an informal tone, and provide motivation to show why
education is imperative to the development and fulfilment of life. Education is not useful for

Showing her own failures allows the audience to feel that she is a real person with real problems and
not only an infamous author of a series that sold over four hundred million copies and inspired the
creation of seven extremely successful films. This validates her ability to give advice to average
people for she has experienced the same issues that they will encounter.
David Wallace describes how education provides knowledge that creates awareness of oneself and
their thoughts. Power over thought is important because it gives the ability to control thoughts in a
way that will be a more beneficial and positive outlook. Daily life is filled with seemingly
meaningless routine and becoming annoyed or frustrated is part of our default setting. Wallace uses
a real–life example of taking a trip to the grocery store. This annoying task includes being stuck in
traffic on the way to the store, pushing through crowds of people with carts, and long lines at the
checkout. Wallace uses this example to show that when in situations such as this one can make use
of the power over thought and look at things in a better way in order to control how they feel about
the situation. Learning how to think provides "real freedom" the ability to stray from natural
behavior in order to pursue happiness and peace. He uses an example that his entire audience has
encountered, making the information even more useful. John Lemuel incorporates several
