I lay awake on a freezing night; As cold as an arctic snowstorm, and as dark as a planet with no sun. My eyes were open as wide as a deer's in front of a moving vehicle. There was one thought in my mind, one thought only, the love of my life. Her long silky hair, her smooth, tanned skin, her pristine beauty and her effervescent, godlike personality were all I ever desired; she was as sweet as a honeycomb and as unique as a sparkling snowflake in a vast blizzard.

Feminism is “the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.” (Oxford 2015). It requires a powerful person with great ambitions to make changes and lead the right way. It needs someone who is willing to sacrifice everything to achieve greatness and leave a history behind them. A person with these qualities is considered a hero, an idol, someone we can look up to.

Speeches have been an effective way for someone to share their thoughts and opinions about topics for years. Have they continued to be successful due to changes in the way that they are given, or is it because modern-day orators have continued to use some of the same speech techniques?
