Sample Persuasive Speech Topic: Getting involved with local political issues. Purpose:  To persuade Central Idea:  Everyone needs to be involved with local politics.   Attention. We are in danger of living in a totalitarian country.  Donald Trump is incompetent, corrupt and some even think he is mentally ill.  I have voted in every presidential election since I was 18 and have been deeply disappointed when a Republican won.  But I have never been this scared about the future of our country and the world.  We have all got to come together as patriotic citizens to save the United States of America.   The national political situation is dire.   Our president was elected without the popular vote. He has never held public office or served in the military. He lied about President Obama wiretapping him, declared the media the enemy of the people, wants to defund Meals on Wheels, tried to repeal Obamacare and wants to reduce environmental protections, said the court system was a threat to national security and the list goes on. (Levitz) It is easy to feel…

Compare and Contrast the Representation of Death in J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Seamus Heaney’s ‘Mid-Term Break’, Belloc’s ‘Matilda’ and McCrea’s ‘In Flanders Field.’ Peter Pan, ‘Mid Term Break’, ‘Matilda’ and ‘In Flanders Field’, albeit diverse in subject matter and style, are in many ways connected by the pervading theme of mortality on which the foundation of each text rests. Notions of mortality and immortality are juxtaposed throughout Barrie’s fantasy Peter Pan where the reader is introduced to a paradoxical story of a boy who is dead but refuses to grow up. Seamus Heaney’s ‘Mid Term Break’ and LT. Col. John McCrae’s ‘In Flanders Field’ take the subject of death from personal experience where death is treated as tragedy. Belloc’s Matilda looks at death in an amusing and exaggerated manner in his cautionary tale that typified didactic writing in the Victorian era. Although the depiction of death varies in all four texts, with the exception of Peter Pan, all the  writers illuminate a sense of justice and injustice, or unfairness in pre-mature death in their works, whereas, Barrie’s Peter Pan echoes…

The modern writers Among the subjects which have been treated most frequently in literature, death has been part of them, commonly as a plot device, symbol, or a theme. It has been one of the crucial elements for modern writers, dramatists as well as novelists. Interweaved with the literature origin itself and the human consciousness on mortality, it has provided an Impetus for reflecting on the meaning, causes and the nature of life. And, while death treatments have been varying depending on the authors, researchers have observed in modern works, whether for stage, prose fiction, or in verse; a clearly defined attitudes towards the topic which has nearly a universal interest. The modern writers have, in most of their works presented death as an ultimate dilemma, and one which provokes terrible concerns as it gives an avenue towards authentic and self-discovery. Similarly, death has also been perceived within the wider context, to be part of natural cycle of both decay and restoration, or taken as a source of amusement, chosen for a humorous conclusion by black comedy writers and absurdist…

Joyce’s Dubliners Dubliners is a collection of short stories by Joyce James, which were first published in 1914. The stories by Joyce form a depiction of middles class life of people in Dublin in early years of the 20th century. The stories by Joyce James were written when the Irish people were searching for a national identity, and therefore, Irish nationalism was at its peak The Irish Literary Theatre was against the European dramatists, which were vital for the advancement of the Irish art. “The Day of Rabblement” was written by James Joyce while he was still a university student and the main argument on the story was the need for artistic freedom in the Irish community. Artistic freedom is very necessary for each state because arts serve as a mirror of society. Artist work should criticize moral degradation in the society and should not be compromised by either political or religious groups. Many scholars believe that James Joyce revolutionized the novel in the twentieth century by abandoning the convection way of narrative, which was compromised by politics and religion…

The new version JBL Go 2 In the box, you get the speaker itself, and before you throw this box away, make sure you take the micro USB cable out of this small box at the bottom. I like the design of this speaker, and after using it for some time, I can see why it is so popular.   The new version JBL Go 2 is coated with this rubber-like material, which feels very pleasant to touch. This material will catch oils from your fingers quickly, but a solution I found for this problem was not to touch it when your hands are oily.   There is a white LED present under the mesh, looks very nice and turns red to tell you that it’s charging. This champagne color looks very nice, but it also comes in many different colors, which are unique for Bluetooth speakers.   It has this prominent JBL branding on both sides, so they seem to be proud of this product. It doesn’t look bad, though, and on the back, it also adds to the…

Black Revolution and Contemporary Racial Issues             The speech I have chosen for this assignment is Malcolm X’s The Black Revolution, which was orated on April 8, 1964 at a meeting sponsored by the Militant Labor Forum at Palm Gardens in New York.  While a video could not be found of this speech, an audio of the speech, however, was found. In the audio, he utilized oratorical skills that he has utilized often times with his other speeches. One can notice that he is a very aggressive and assertive speaker and he appeals to both pathos and ethos in his speech to convey his message and in order to appeal to the audience. Malcolm utilizes pathos and ethos when he brings up the many situations in which the white man has dehumanized and ruined the black man historically and currently. He is instilling an agitation in his listeners by reaching them by means of their emotions and morals. His overall oratorical and rhetorical skills help to convey the message of his speech, which is that a revolution within the black…

Children’s theatre  Children’s theatre is essential to child development and teaches the child essential skills to use throughout their life. Theatre allows children to branch out and see the world through a different perspective and helps them conceive a new idea, new possibilities, and a new world. Introducing children’s theatre to children at a young age can provide them with beneficial skills such as cultural awareness, patience, build leadership skills, self-confidence, and motivation/ commitment skills. In the classroom, is the perfect place to incorporate theatre into the curriculum as “adapting literary text is a great way to introduce children to an important work of literature and the process of adaption gives them a much deeper understanding of the text than they would get from reading alone” (Bates, p. 70). Children’s theatre also allows students to learn how to express their emotions and voice through the dialogue of a scene. As a teacher, that is going to be one of my goals to create avid and fluent readers. When I was in elementary school, my teacher’s incorporated plays into some of…

The case study is discussed in the recommendation section of the paper. Introduction The modern business is growing fast and undergoing major change processes (Dawson and P. 2019), compelling managers to acquaint with the change processes.

It is also essential for the efficient operation of…

The Doctor (1991) William Hurt stars in the film “The Doctor” that was produced in 1991 as Jack McKee, a renowned surgeon in a well-established hospital. It begins with a team of surgeons led by Dr. McKee carrying an operation on a patient who had jumped several floors to the ground. This exercise is undertaken with less seriousness, as shown by the kind of conversations held during the operation. It is also noted that there is some music accompanied in the theatre. Jack then leaves for his home. Surprisingly, his son calls him Dr. McKee, not dad. A couple attends a particular function, after which Anne, his wife, notices Jack is coughing blood and raises her worries. Dr. McKee goes for a biopsy and is found to have a growth on his throat. He is now diagnosed with throat cancer and is now a patient. His first experience with hospital personnel displeases him. He isn’t given forms to fill for the thirty minutes he was waiting to be attended to, no privacy is offered to him, and he certainly doesn’t…
