Dear Mr President By Pink, Magnanimous In Victory

Thesis Statement: Through his early life experiences and with the knowledge he left behind, Sir Isaac Newton was able to develop calculus, natural forces, and optics. From birth to early childhood, Isaac Newton overcame many personal, social, and mental hardships. It is through these experiences that helped create him to be the person we know today, that is why he is worthy of the Scientist of the Century award.

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most influential figures of the American civil rights movement. Famous for his prowess with words, King was known for writing powerful texts throughout his life. Two of his most famous compositions were his “I Have A Dream” speech and his “Letter From Birmingham Jail”. Although King uses many styles of writing effectively, his writings with pathos are the most prominent. Since “I Have A Dream” uses more pathos than “Letter From Birmingham Jail”, “I Have A Dream” is more effective at inspiring change.

Mandela once told the court he hoped to live in a free society and was willing to die for it. The author of “Death of an Icon Mandela” quotes Nelson Mandela in court saying “I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities… it is an ideal for which I hope to live for and to see realized. But my lord, if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” (Polgreen). This proves that Mandela was very selfless because he always thought of others before himself. He wanted to free those who were practically prisoners in their own land and he put his own life on the line while fighting for them. Mandela showed how altruistic he was in many ways. He had taken his 27-year prison experience and made it his goal to protest for the freedom of his country. The author states, “Mandela said he regarded his prison experience as a major factor in his ability to lead a divided nation forward.” (Polgreen). This shows that Mandela is incredibly unselfish because he could have easily left prison and given up to let the rest of South Africa deal with their own problems, but instead he continued to rebel. Nelson Mandela was such an altruistic man and it is just one of his many traits that make him a

The point of opinion is Gandhi because he is telling the governor what his tactics of civil disobedience are: Gandhi and the public are going to disregard the Salt Laws and trudge to the sea to create their own salt. The manner of this letter is very calm and peaceful. Document B is a passage from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s autobiography along with a photograph of a 1963 sit-in of integration supporters at a lunch counter. The main idea of this picture is that Martin Luther King Jr. is proud because he knows that what he is standing up for is right. This is a good example of non-violence and civil disobedience because the lunch counter was for white people only, and the integration supporters did not fight back at all to the people who may have been flinging junk at them, pouring stuff on them, tormenting them, or spitting at them. Finally, Document C is an excerpt from Nelson Mandela’s book, Long Walk to Freedom, and he is anticipating which tactic to use in order to accomplish liberation. After thinking over the situation, he noticeably chooses the non-violent method, which was the right

The Tropfest films Road Rage (2006) and Lemonade Stand (2012) both represent Australian stories and Australian voices. Both of the films explore the representation of Australians and show many different aspects of Australian culture. The film Road Rage expounds a different more emotional side to the typical stereotype of Australian men. Lemonade Stand also represents Australian culture, through the use of themes such as mateship and the Aussie Battler. Both of the films through the use of mis-en-scene and a variety of different visual and oral techniques show key aspects of Australian culture,

Despite the fact, it is fundamentally the speaker’s skills in the construction of the speech that determine its decisive success.

Lyndon Johnson was convinced that liberal nationalism and the power of the federal government could transform society. His faith grew out of his youthful experiences with poverty in Texas, his political apprenticeship during the New Deal, and his desire to surpass Roosevelt's legacy. When he took office in November 1963, after John F. Kennedy's death, Johnson inherited the early initiatives to address poverty that the Kennedy administration had under consideration. With characteristic enthusiasm and expansiveness, Johnson declared a war on poverty in 1964 and pushed legislation through Congress to establish the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO).In this speech, the purpose Lyndon B. Johnson outlines his vision and goals for "The Great

The best way to prepare for a presentation, one must consider the best method, the type of presentation and the audience for a given topic. There are four different types of presentation methods they are; Impromptu, Extemporaneous Speaking, Using a Manuscript, and Memorization. Each of the four methods is appropriate in certain situations. Impromptu is a speech that frequently involves no preparation time and forces you to think on your feet.

An American literary theorist and novelist, Kenneth Burke, once said, “Wherever there is persuasion, there is rhetoric, and wherever there is rhetoric, there is meaning.” (Burke) Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr. and Fannie Lou Hamer all delivered powerful persuasive speeches that will go down in history. The use of these motivational individuals’ language and persuasion played a pivotal role within the civil rights movement, the movement that achieved the most important breakthrough in the equal rights legislation. We can observe this in the speakers’ rhetoric devices like ethos, logos and pathos.
