Descriptive Speech

Hurrying to my seat in the back of English, I sit down, and start preparing for class. I pull out my composition notebook from my backpack and start to doodle little sunflowers all over the lined paper. I sit alone in the back of class, but I don't mind because I’m not really a people person. No one wants to sit with me anyways. My table is right next to a large window, so I stare out it often, watching raindrops race each other, or clouds drifting through the sky. The sound of Mrs. Wright clearing her throat brings me out of my daze. Her 4-inch heels click-clack against the tile floor, and she walks to the front to signal the beginning of class.

You are driving back to your home in a cream colored Rolls Royce after a hard day at work. You can’t wait to go home, to see your beautiful wife and your lovable kids. As you cruise down the road, your headlights illuminate the pitch black dark of the night. You pass enormous skyscrapers that reach for the sky then, you have to stop at a red stoplight that glows in a bright lava red color. As you wait for the light to turn green, a tall man in a black trench coat and with black sunglasses that blends in with the night, smashes the driver’s side window of your car. The unknown stranger reaches his hand in and unlocks the door from the inside. As soon as you undo your seat belt to try to make run for it, the stranger opens the door and drags you out onto the

Middle school is a very important time in every child’s life. It is full of drama, bullying, relationship changes, and year long fads and phases. We captured all of that and more in our play and we used language, jokes, insults, situations, and objects that we use in our everyday lives as middle schoolers right now. Slime, Pokemon Cards, and Fidget Spinners, are all very popular items in today’s middle school world and we included all of them for authenticity, and humor in our scene. Middle School in general may not have changed much over the years, but the slang and what is considered cool certainly has, and we reflected that in our scene clearly; our scene was designed by middle schoolers, for middle schoolers. When adapting the scene from William Shakespeare’s As You Like it (Act III, Scene III) we could clearly visualize how it could play out in a middle school setting. This scene involves many common situations that are relatable and relevant to all middle school students such as trying to fit in, breaking school rules, doing homework, liking someone, and trying to figure out whether you are liked. Our message is portrayed by four middle school students. Victoria who is the popular girl, Carter who is an athletic, class clown, Molly who is a nerd, who wishes she was cool, and Luke who is a sweet boy who is very unaware of middle school social norms. From the beginning it was clear who liked who initially, and that there were varying levels of “coolness” among

It was a perfect cool summer night for the Soccer Club recognition dinner. Our soccer team had won the Championship Cup and was having a grand celebration. My parents were very excited about the evening and told me how proud they were of our victory. “Great job this season, Erick!” said my coach as I walked in. All my teammates were high-fiving each other. On top of that, my best friend, Jimmy, was there for support. He and I had known each other since the first grade and now, both of us thirteen years old, we were like brothers. I could count on him for anything.

I always knew I had a purpose. Seven simple words were written in straight, clean lines on the top of M’s stack of notecards. They were her introduction, an introduction to a speech that M had slaved over because it needed to be perfect. One by one, she riffled through the cards in her deck, reading and whispering the speech aloud. This was going to be, perhaps, the most important hour in M Freeman’s life. She had agonized over her speech during the entire ride to New York City. It was rare for M to travel to the city, even though she lived only a few hours away. In truth, she never really traveled anywhere. So when the limo had arrived to pick her up, in order not to freak out, M had thrown herself into her preparations, as the empty countryside slowly grew into bridges, traffic buildings, and crowded sidewalks. And now, sitting in a waiting room, M repeated those seven simple words to herself and she was in full interview mode.

Caleb is a sweet caring guy would not hurt anyone of anything in the world. He has two friends both named Jacob. He gave them nickname for instance Jb was his friend over 6 years and Jhardy is his football friend. One afternoon Jb asked to Caleb “Hey come to the party with me and Jhardy?” Caleb was being really thoughtful about this because he would only know two people.

A mere minute before my first High School Band audition for the Lewis Palmer Wind Symphony, I sobbed like a gloomy, sunburned skunk. Tears ran down my red, splotchy face as I stood in the middle of a crowd of Seniors who decided to watch from the distance, not wanting to be affected by my spray. Being the amazing person that she is, however, my mom came to my rescue in the midst of the onlookers and was able to solve all of my life’s worries with one sentence: “Everything is going to be okay.”

Attention Getter: How many times have you stayed at home because of the limited activities in Knoxville?

“Okay Meshalle, you think you're ready for today”? My best friend Miles’ says. “Are you kidding me?, I was born ready. I say as I hop into Miles’ car. “Ok then say no more, Let's go” He starts his car and we pull out of my driveway. Since we have a little ways until we get to our destination I decide to turn the radio onto my favorite station but Miles then reaches over and changes the station. I change it back because I hate the type of music that he likes. After a few minutes of flipping stations back in forth I decide to be the bigger person and take out my headphones and listen to the music on my phone.

The trapezius is a large, kite-shaped muscle located on the back, and has the job of all movement of shoulder blades and extension of the head at the neck. It deals with moving and rotating, and is aligned against the spine as well. When it gets pulled or injured, it can cause excruciating back pain, muscle spasms, inability to move the neck, and more. What it means, is that there is a muscle on your back connected to so many different parts of you, that when messed up causes so much pain. Senior year of high school I ruined this muscle, and it still haunts me today.
