David Foster Wallace Persuasive Speech

Imagine having the chance to fight for your country. As you remove your blade from the man you just killed, you see one of your men getting gutted in half by the enemy, so you jolt up in a full stride down the battlefield towards your target to carry out revenge. As you run the screams of the wounded cloud your ears, and as you get closer you are faced with enemies hurling at you from left and right inflicting wounds that would have any other man on their knees; nevertheless, you are no ordinary man. You have the heart of a warrior. Finally, as you are mere strides away from killing your target you draw your sword, and drive it into his skull. Then, with blood dripping down your face staining your skin you remove your sword, find a new target,

We are gathered here today to remember Andrew Jackson. President Jackson was among one of the best presidents we have ever seen. President Jackson was the first president to be relatable to the average person. As President Jackson once said, “The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer… form the great body of the people of the United States, the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.” This showed how much he supported in the common people who are truly the backbone of our country. Andrew Jackson was the first president elected by normal people, not just wealthy landowning men and through him we showed what kind of president the people of this country want, a mans

The 2016 Presidential Campaign candidate, Bernie Sanders, believes in creating a better America. In proving to the American people, rich and poor, how great the country can be if all people vote for who is trusted best as future President of the United States. The political figures in government care about money and wealth, not the people. Bernard Sanders would be the best choice for President for the main reason that he is concerned about the issues in America that create inequality for the people. The issues addressed by this candidate will create social and economic equality.

Hey Coach, Iowa State is going great. The classes are alright, but I enjoy going to most of them. I am taking advantage of the facilities and I am back in the weight room. All the techniques and lifts you taught me are really making it easier now that I am lifting without a coach. I thank you for all the time and effort you put into the lifting program so I know what I am doing here at Iowa State. The main reason that I am writing you is to share this with the seniors at North Scott High School. Particularly, the seniors who are struggling to pick the place they will be spending the next four years of their lives. It is the beginning of the school year and the seniors who already have a plan are ready to go but the seniors who don't are scared for the future. I encourage the

It is Friday, second day of class I am finishing reading chapters 10 -13, to continue with the provided videos, I am glad that we got videos they are great.

A year later, in 1960, nine-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first black child to attend the William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Similar to the experience of the Little Rock Nine, The National Guard had to escort Bridges into the school. White parents yanked their children out of William Frantz Elementary, and only one teacher agreed to teach Bridges.

Did you know that it only took twenty minutes for people to die once the Nazis had forced them into a gas chamber? In that short amount of time all their hopes, dreams and achievements disappeared. Elie Wiesel believed that whenever “men and women are being persecuted because of their race, religion or political views…” then it falls on all of us, both individuals and government, to help. I agree with Wiesel that to stop future genocide and further racism, we must all come together because not only are we all human beings, but if we don't then we will never advance.

Grant Matthews’s girlfriend Kay Thorndyke and Jim Conover want to make him the next President to do so the relationship between Mr. Matthews and Ms. Thorndyke has to end. To carry out this Mary Matthews joins her husband and travels with him, she supports her husband’s effort to help everyone in America, but also witnesses her husband be brainwashed by his campaign managers to target the influential politicians. Before her, infuriated monologue Mrs. Matthews let Mr. Matthews know that the kids and her would no longer be giving speeches because he wasn’t the man they knew, the man who would stand up for the poor now he was just as corrupt as the politicians he worked with, their goal to win the presidential elections, in this monologue she used emotional appeal to make Mr. Matthews understand that he had changed.

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.

Society generalizes first world teenagers, describing them as trapped inside a bubble, shielded from harsh realities of impoverished nations and living with the delusions that their problems dominate all others. While this stereotype does not hold true for all young adults, the unfortunate truth remains: many do not count their blessings. Recently with our soccer team, we had the opportunity to visit Vista Maria, a home and school in Dearborn for girls ages 11 to 17 coming from abusive domestic environments, including sex trafficking and family deficiencies. Interacting with the bright and beautiful girls felt incredible and encouraged us and the team to truly understand how fortunate we live. This trip inspired us to plan on visiting Vista

Bang! Boom! Bullets flying past Davy crockett's face as he is standing at the alamo fighting for Texas. Davy crockett is famously known for fighting at the alamo but he later died there after he was captured by Santa Anna and his army. He was brave even when he was captured and he looked them in the face and showed no emotion.The king of the wild frontier has fallen long live Davy crockett. Davy Crockett is famously known for fighting in the alamo and later died there, long live the king of the wild

I would like to show you a different perspective on a topic that is very close to me, and hopefully persuade you to see this stance in a different light. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 was passed to punish the states that allowed people under the age of 21 to buy and consume alcohol. I am sure you are aware of this act but that is when i believe a right was taken away from american citizens. I believe that it is a right of an american to go out with his friends or coworkers and relax after a long week of contributing to the economy , by working or putting money into circulation when he buys groceries or picks up the tab at the bar for his friends. I am fully aware of the opposing argument, that “kids” under 21 are not responsible for their actions when they are impaired by drinking, but the same is true about people over 21 as well. What defines 21 as the age that makes you so much smarter than the 20 year old that you were last week.

The Saints crashed out of the Herald Metropolitan Cup on another miserable day for Brian McCarthy's side. A windswept Ringsend didn't help either side. The Saints enjoyed plenty of possession in the early stages, with Lee Dixon a threat on the left.

Our generation is surrounded with a huge amount of technology that could either benefit or destroy our brain capacity. Do I believe that we are turning into BNW? In some way, yes. We are constantly told where to go and what to do with ourselves that it doesn't give us a reason to expand our horizons. We are in a factory based school where we learn curriculum that may benefit our major but it is not realistically teaching us real world issues. In history, we're learning about our past ancestors but we aren't learning about the important people today. We aren't expected to change the world anymore, we're just told to be the average student living an average life and MAYBE, if we hit the pot of luck we'll be able to be more than a little over

If you told me in 2002 that 15 years later, Donald Trump would be our President, Kid Rock would be running for Senate, and Eminem would become a celebrity spokesperson for human rights, I would have laughed you out of the room. This sounds more like content for a Saturday Night Live skit than reality. But here we are; truth really is stranger than fiction.
