Braveheart Persuasive Speech

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 piercing, cacophonous wails of an ensemble of curious infants on a mission of exploration. Their small worlds shaken and their trust betrayed by the very caregivers who were supposed to provide and care for them; they have suddenly turned on them and replaced joy with immense pain and confusion (whatever happened to the Nightingale Pledge?). A newfound sense of curiosity suddenly replaced with a fear instilled upon them at an age when exploration is commonplace and discovery is supposed to be encouraged.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, on an island, without adult supervision, a little boy was murdered. But this case isn’t about that little boy, this case is about a little boy who is still alive and breathing. The prosecution is here to tell you that this 12 year old boy belongs in prison, possibly for up to 10 years, robbing him of his remaining childhood. Ralph has been accused of voluntary manslaughter. He has been accused of, in a fit of passion and fear, speeding Simon’s departure from this world. But if we examine the facts, we know he did not play an active role in the other young man’s death. It has been verified by multiple witnesses, including the now deceased Piggy that Ralph was outside the killing circle. He saw the act but he didn’t

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.

Two of my men just got shot. I told everyone to crouch down. A mortar hit the back of the boat and the boat flew into the air and onto the shore. I just stayed under the boat for about twenty-five minutes, because I couldn’t move, I was in too much shock. All my men were everywhere, some were under the boat with me, some were in the water, and some were even lying on the battlefield. I told my men to be ready, on my mark we were all going to go out from under the boat and lay down fire for the oncoming ships that carried more men for our reinforcements.

O’Flaherty uses dramatic irony of a sniper unknowingly killing his brother to show that war makes one a heartless killer, which emphasizes the effect that war can have on a person. After an intense sniper duel, the sniper sprinted with adrenaline flowing through his veins, right before checking the body: “wondered did he know him” and “Perhaps he had been in his own company before the split in the army” (O’Flaherty

You ran away from the mutts, you didn't dare to turn back because you knew if you did, they would catch up with you, you saw a tree in front of you, it was your only hope at the moment, if you continued running they would chase you until you tired out. You managed to quickly scale the tree. You sat on the tree branch, leaving you in the cold, damp forest with tall dark silhouettes watching over your every move or mistake. You began to sob, you absolutely hated being here, you hated every single moment you spent and you knew that the memories from these Games would haunt you more than the first Games you went into but you just couldn't understand how the Careers in the past games just willingly volunteered to be in these damn games. You hated

Next, the story uses war dividing people against themselves. This is supported by the quote, “The sniper liked at his enemy falling and he shuddered. The lust of battle died in him. He became bitten by remorse” (439). This shows that during war, people are faced against themselves and such as

Gasping hard and feeling my lungs expand with every breath, the sharp ringing in my ears continues. The burning in my eyes caused from all my sweat running down. I never, well not in the least, come near to death, but what did I expect, I’m Grendel. Everyone just thinks of me as a demonic man eating monster, all people do is judge. I gaze down and all I see is the trail my blood made where my arm used to be, making it easier for him to find me. I sit there and think. Should I keep running? Is it ok to stop and breath for a second? I decide to continue to run while all I can think about is what Hrothgar did to my father. Was it really fair?

I wanted to inform you all of the homework tonight. I went to the wire in most of my classes and I wasn't sure I shared what the homework.

Take a moment to imagine you are a prehistoric caveman… You are walking through a heavily wooded area during the winter. Snow is falling in light drifts and the moon is reflecting off the snow, creating the sensation of daylight. It is the first snowfall of the season, but you don't notice. Your mind is focused on one thing only: survival. You have not eaten anything substantial in four days. As you doggedly stagger through the deserted woodland you notice a flickering light through the trees. When you walk closer, you see a man with his wife and son around a campfire. You begin to smell and hear meat roasting on a roaring fire. In your hunger-driven stupor, your brain turns the small pheasant the family is actually cooking into a large honey-roasted

Why would anyone in their right mind choose to walk 500 miles across a far-away country over mountain ranges, dark forests, and barren lands, through rains, searing sun, and a white-out blizzard with nothing but hemorrhaging tendons, severe blisters, and daily aches and pains to show for it?

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.

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
