Henry Lawson Speech

The reason why I want to attend Cass Technical High School is because I want to be challenged to my full academic ability. I’ve always wanted to go to Cass since I was a little boy in elementary. When I was in 8th grade, I truly wasn’t challenged by the work I had, so my mother told me that I would get challenged at a school like Cass. I don’t believe that I have been challenged at the school I go to now. I believe I can do better at your school because I will always have enough work in my classes and never will get bored when I’m finished. I put my homework as a priority before other things when I get home. I have always been an all “A” student since I was a little kid. I want to go to Cass so I can achieve my full

On June 28, 1491 King Henry VIII was born at Greenwich Palace in England. He was the third child of “Henry VII and Elizabeth of York.” ("Henry VIII Biography.com.") The first child of Henry VII and Elizabeth was a boy named Arthur. The second child was a girl named Margaret. The fourth child was a little girl named Mary. He also had three other siblings, but sadly they did not survive their early childhood. When Henry was young, his parents encouraged him in his studies. Since Henry studied so much, he became a very clever boy. He also loved writing poems.

Through the peculiarities of characterisation and the distinctively visual we experience the impact of place on people. Distinctively visual language shows the similarities and differences between characters and environment with the use of vivid imagery. The distinctively visual is able to create detailed setting, characters and place. Through the distinctively visual Henry Lawson and Tim Burton convey interesting views on environment and human interactions, and their affect on people and society in Lawsons “The Loaded Dog” and “The Drovers Wife” and Burtons “Alice in Wonderland. Good morning markers and peers.

Patrick Henry, a devoted patriot and wise man fulfilled a position in the Virginia convention. After the Intolerable Acts imposed by King George on the colonies, Americans suffered an unfair rule, where Great Britain took control. In 1775 Patrick Henry introduced a resolution to the Virginia Convention to form the local militia to be prepared to fight the British. In order to gain approvals from his collies, Henry employs rhetorical appeals witch help him urge his purpose and take the lead with the use of an urgent tone witch induces his audience to support his statement towards war.

In 1775, the citizens of America were under duress by the pressure coming from Great Britain and also their own country. The citizens wanted their liberties back, however, the country as a whole was more reluctant to push the issue to a state of war. In his speech at the Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry argues how war is crucial for Americans to regain their liberties by explaining that the British invasion is inescapable, and by illustrating how the citizens are ready and prepared to fight.

Patrick Henry, a formal attorney, a politician, an orator, and a founding father who served as Colonel in the first Virginia regiment during the revolutionary war gave his famous speech at the Virginia House of Burgesses to declare independence from Great Britain. Although Patrick Henry wanted to establish peace and liberty with the British, nothing was working in order to establish harmony while doing it peacefully. Therefore, the only way to achieve these goals is to initiate a full out war against the British.

These three speeches The Declaration Independence, Patrick Henry, and “From Subjects to Citizens”, had basically the same interpretation. In Patrick Henry's speech he mainly was trying to convince the delegates to secede from Britain; moreover, to fight back against them. The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal and are entitled to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." "From Subjects to Citizens", people are not always sure they have the power or resources they need to make decisions or to act. The government does not give everybody a chance to express their feeling about what's going on around them.

From the first page of March I knew this wasn’t going to be an ordinary book. The comic designs, placed and drawn beautifully. An art major as myself, greatly appreciated this. The body forms and facial expressions made it clear how every character felt on each page. Adding to this amazing mix of an art form, there were the simple and perfect phrases that were placed in the book. This brings me to the guests speakers. John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell. John Lewis who’s story is being told, Andrew Aydin who was co-writer, and Nate Powell in charge of comic design. These three men created a breathtaking novel. Even more amazing about this is that they did so with less than the average word count of a regular novel.

“This story shall the good man teach his son; and Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, from this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remembered”(Henry V, 4.3.) Henry's St. Crispin’s Day Speech was given prior to the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The enemy that Henry V's men faced had them vastly outnumbered. It is at this time that Henry sees his men's need of motivation and takes on the role of a valiant king taking control of the situation. He seized the moment to motivate and inspire them. Henry hopes by making an effective speech his men will understand why they need to fight. When all seemed lost it was Henry's speech that was filled with persuasion and patriotism that spurred the men on and gave them hope and victory. Through Henry's speech he made what seemed a hopeless fight into an honor, an attainable victory, and a duty.

Right out of the blocks, near the very start of the race, one of the runners was badly knocked down, and in a quarter-mile race at such a high level of competition, fractions of a second determine the winner. Anyone knocked down is quite simply out of the race. But accidents like this are sometimes unavoidable in the crowded running of the competitors. Even though he was far behind, this competitor leaped back to the track and continued to race with all-out speed and effort. The fact that he was twenty yards away from the nearest competitor and made the attempt to rejoin the short race seemed ridiculous. Nonetheless, this man ran at such an astonishing pace that the spectators were goggle-eyed and on their feet, mesmerized by the unfolding

Sophocles wrote, “I call God to witness that if I saw my country headed for ruin, I should not be afraid to speak out plainly.” Patrick Henry shares Sophocles’s sentiments in his Speech to the Second Virginia Convention, in which he seeks support from his colleagues to save his country from the hands of the English king. In Sophocles’s play Antigone, Antigone challenges a rule in order to lay her brother to rest. Conversely, in Dudley Randall’s poem, “Ballad of Birmingham,” a mother does not allow her daughter to take a stand against the government. It is appropriate to take a stand when the authorities are against the best interests of the majority of the people.

In Patrick Henry’s speech he emphasizes his views that there is a need to fight for truth and God's purpose. His "Give me Liberty or give me Death!" speech is based on his belief that the alternative to fighting is slavery to the British empire.

1. During the graduation of Wesley high school's class of 2012, Mr. David McCullough Jr's speech had an odd, but very clever way of applying what it really means to be graduating and going onto a much bigger page in each of the students lives. He argued that you are in fact not special in the ways you see yourself to be because the center of the world does not revolve around you. The definition of special is to be better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual, and quite frankly we are not that. Our minds dependence on thinking that we are special has only caused us to be less of that. If we all go around believing we're special then we can refer back to the definition, which states, "being special is different from what is usual",

Hello my name is Adam Pleimann. The role of being president is one that only few dream of. It is a very large role and can sometimes push some people too far. Ford has had many ups and downs but had a very good term. Ford lived out a very good life and had many accomplishments. He was the first President to serve without being elected into office. I’m going to tell you where he came from, what he did as president, and his life after leading our country.
