Brave New World Persuasive Speech

Children’s literature is the precedent for the development of all children. Children’s literature varies from poetry to children’s picture books. Every aspect of children’s literature gives an ability to grow a child mentally and develop their ideas and imagination. In early literature, children were romanized to be perfect and well behaved. Author Maurice Sendak counters the idea of a perfect child in his book “Where The Wild Things Are”. Sendak uses his picture book to illustrate a child’s ability to have feelings of anger, resentment, and frustration. The interviewer, Patrick F. Roughen of Red Feather Journal states that“Where the Wild Things Are (1963) contains some of the earliest attempts in children’s literature to represent the intrapsychic challenges of the lives of children. Anger, frustration, and the complexities of parent-child relationships can be found throughout its pages”. “Where the Wild Things Are” reinforces the idea that children are capable of emotions that one would imagine are only depicted in the adult world.

There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self." - Aldous Huxley

The nursery seemed so vivid and authentic with powerful, lasting images of the vicious lions that it left the mother, Lydia, startled. Lydia states that she is afraid and emphasizes this by throwing her body against her husband and crying out, “Did you see? Did you feel? It’s too real” (Bradbury 2). Mrs. Hadley sees through the overbearing lions and realizes the corrupting behavior she has been exposing Wendy and Peter to, which has become parallel to that of a wild lion. Bradbury implies that the savage behavior of the children has begun tearing apart the family structure because the children are so absorbed in the lifelike images surrounding the nursery, they have lost sight of their parent’s morals and virtues.

In doing so, parents feel as if they are guarding their children of knowledge that their children may not be capable of handling. Originally, dystopian novels such as The Giver were solely written for adults. Many parents feel that Lois Lowry’s The Giver attracts attention to taboo issues such as sex, drugs and infanticide. Ironically, children will inevitably learn about these topics through exposure, regardless of how hard parents try to shelter them from reality. Lois Lowry sheds a light on these topics in hopes of eliciting conversation among children. It is ridiculous to censor The Giver; it handles these topics in an engaging and appropriate manner designed to make readers think. It is important to allow children to acknowledge and understand these topics in a healthy and safe manner, rather than through potentially dangerous

“Truly, truly, children are nothing but heartache and nuisance.” (Grant 5) “But you are a funny boy, you know, even though I do think you have a bit of an eye for horseflesh.” (Grant 37).

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

The message I will be conveying is the importance of embracing failure. My role will be myself as I understand myself the best. The audience addressed will be my fellow classmates. In the format of a speech.

Macklin’s War Babies and Dobson’s Cock Crow share similarities through the fact that both persona’s face the challenge of a confrontational discovery. Although, in terms of changed perspectives, Dobson’s persona seems to have new understandings about herself and the familial love that comes with motherhood, while the Macklin’s child-like persona struggles to grasp the connotations of his discovery. This depicts the different routes discoveries can lead to, that, although discoveries can offer renewed understandings about ourselves and the world, the inability to understand these discoveries may have negative connotations and

The babies being devoured, like Swift’s feelings of being devoured by leadership in society, stirs up emotions in both rich and poor people. This use of archetypal patterns and images (motherhood, birth, death, and rebirth) cause emotions in every reader no matter what their

The self deprecation connoted by the phrase “my feeble brain”, which logic tells us would not be used if the speaker were pleased with her product, also expresses her disappointment. An additional sense of embarrassment is present, specifically in the line “At thy return my blushing was not small” (7). This line, particularly the word “blushing”, reveals the speaker’s unease at the sight or thought of her book. The line “[i]n better dress to trim thee was my mind” (17) further establishes the speaker’s displeasure for her book. It also strengthens the comparison of the book to a child by personifying the text with the use of the word “dress”, which would commonly be used in reference to a child too young to care for himself. Words and phrases like “defects” (13), “blemishes” (12), and “unfit for light” (9), all of which are negative descriptions, also portray the embarrassment the speaker feels toward her writing. It is not uncommon for a mother to feel such disappointment or embarrassment in her child, especially resulting from the belief that she could have improved upon his demeanor if she had more time. On the other hand, the speaker exhibits feelings of pride and affection for her

It was October 6, 1998 when he was lured from the bar that cold, fateful night. His skull was smashed with a pistol butt as he was lashed to a fence, left for dead in near freezing temperatures. Nearly eighteen hours later he was found by passersby and taken to a hospital where we remained in a coma for several days until slowly slipping away. At his funeral, picketers carried signs saying, "God Hates Fags" and *Fags Deserve to Die."

C. As long as schooling increases the marginal return to work more than crime and schooling does not decrease patience levels or increase risk aversion.

Imagine a world, that is anything and everything. Race a dream car. Meet a superstar. Go to Paris, New York, London, or even see the Great Pyramids. A virtual reality - an idea that is coming to life, an idea that will change the world, whether it be good or bad. Ernest Cline, the author of Ready Player One, warned us that virtual reality is going to change the world. Ready Player One is a story about a teen named Wade, in a world where video games are everything. A virtual reality world called the OASIS changed the world into a place where people are antisocial and don’t care about the world anymore. Change with VR can already be seen with the invention of the TV, the phone, the iPhone, and numerous other inventions, It’s already happening - the world is blowing up over Vive, Oculus, Hololens, and more, and VR is going to make things happen: such as solving problems. Is change happening? Are problems going to be solved? Yes, we can already see change.

Children were not thought of in the past the way they are in the present. We should be grateful that we are in an era where the education and development of the child is a priority. Though the past relationship between children and literature was inhuman and nonexistant, it was a starting point in which we grew from. How can we see growth if we cannot look back at the past mistakes that were made? After reading the lecture I notice progression. While some modes are not still with us, other forms have taken its place. The Abandoning Mode Still takes place. Instead of wetnurses, there are nannies, and while foster families has not left Children's homes, and juvinile trainning schools have come

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
