As the Olympian watched the flaming torch blaze past him, he felt nervous and excited about representing U.S.A in the Olympics. Next, he walked with his teammates in the parade of athletes during the opening ceremony. The butterflies in his stomach fluttered more and more.

We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

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.

We can observe this in the speakers’ rhetoric devices like ethos, logos and pathos.

My fellow Huaorani we are facing a mass extinction. If we don’t act soon the tradition we have set up will disappear completely. The oil companies are trying to take over the ground beneath us because there is oil. They will stop at nothing to continue to make a profit and will show no mercy to us doing so. They look at us as if we are not even human, they show no respect for our traditions or our way of life.
The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do it. Young man, Young woman, I say to you, my friend, you are a world changer, a difference maker, and a leader. Set the bar high, set it so high that your peers around you think that you will never succeed in your dreams, because I did it.

After a hurricane a young boy was walking the beach and millions of these starfish are washed up on the shore, so he begins to pick them up one by one and throw them back into the sea. An old man nearby sees this boy, and asks “why are you doing this? There is no way you will ever be able to save all these starfish. Stop trying to do this it is pointless.” He ignores the man and continues to one by one throw them back into the sea. “Are you deaf!” the old man exclaimed. The boy then looked at him and threw one of the starfish into the sea and said, “ I made a difference to that one.” There are billions of people on the earth you might not be able to help all of them, but one by one you can change their world. So many people get caught up in impressing other and being popular, and this affect how they treat people, and how they treat themselves.
