General Purpose: My general purpose is to inform.
Specific Purpose: Inform my audience about Snoopy.
Central Idea: Snoopy is so special to me because he gives me the realization that I can be myself despite what others think, he serves as an inspiration to think adventurously, and he gives a demonstration of how to treat the people closest to me.
Snoopy for the Win
Introduction
How many people, by a show of hands, have a dog or at some point want to get a dog?
I don’t have a dog, but if I were to get one, I know exactly which dog I would get. By far, the coolest dog in the world, cooler than the Robert Downey Jr. and yes, even cooler than James Bond is of course Charlie Brown’s beloved pet, Snoopy.
Snoopy, I believe, is the best dog to ever be drawn (motion with hand) into this world because we can all relate to him in some way or another. He gives us three -tions as I like to call them. What do I mean by -tions? I mean he gives us a realization, he gives inspiration, and he gives us a demonstration or example to follow.
Transition
Let’s first start with how Snoopy gives us a realization.
Body
Snoopy gives us the realization that it’s okay to be yourself even when other people don’t like it.
He time and time again gets up on Schroeder’s piano and dances because that’s what he enjoys doing. Every time Schroder gives him that, “I’m going to kill you look,” Snoopy does get sheepishly off, but he gets right back on the next time
In 2000, 68 million dogs were owned in the United States. In 2017, a total of around 89.7 million dogs in the United States alone, lived in a household. As the years past more and more people are adopting dogs. Some of those owners are new to having a pet and should learn how to take care of them.
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.
As the saying goes, a dog is a man’s best friend. The dog is a loving companion to a man. He is happy to go everywhere with his master. He shows his affection for his master by wagging his tail and licking his hand or face. This timeless relationship continues to evolve into new kinds of human-dog interactions that increasingly benefit society.
What would you do if you awoke one morning to find that you were a living legend. That for the past twenty years your family has been known to all, as one of the most prominent wizarding families in the wizarding world. What would YOU do if you were regarded as ... a modern HERO. The only wizard ever to survive a powerful curse cast by Voldemort, the most powerful dark wizard; Harry was just a baby when he was attacked by the evil wizard. But he escaped the curse and had somehow managed to reverse it and take away Voldemort's power. This story was told for 11 years past only making the story of Harry Potter grow to become an even greater living legend.
Introduction: Today I will persuading my audience the benefits of getting a dog as a pet. Dogs can offer companionship, protection and even improve your health. Sixty eight percent of U.S households own a pet according to the 2017-2018 National Pet Owners Survey calculated by American Pet Products Association (APPA), and majority of the pets owned are dogs, weighing in at sixty percent. Dogs are domesticated animals that consist of various breeds such as Yorkie Terriers, German shepherds and more. There are over three hundred breeds according to the World Canine organization. This organization is the largest registry of certified dog breeds. This canine organization recognizes three hundred and thirty nine breeds of dogs which are classified into ten groups based on the dog’s function or size. There are various unique breeds that can fit into one’s specific lifestyle, giving no excuse not to have a dog to compliment ones personality.
Imagine walking in the door after a long day; your furry loving puppy is sprinting towards you so excited to see you after missing you all day. Your puppy is ready to grab your attention and distract you from the terrible day you’ve had, comforting you in the process. Dogs are great pets because of their comforting nature, playfulness and protective tendencies.
By the end of the story, as stated before, Squeaky has learned to appreciate the skills and talents of others. However, there are some people that she simply doesn’t like and doesn’t admire,
Dogs are the closest creature to man. Sure they are considered as best friend by some. Compared to others, they show an attitude of a friend. They stay beside you no matter what. They also have this sacrificial attitude for their owners. Their being playful and sweet is also remarkable, to the extent that you find yourself longing for them.
One example, on lines 192-200, is when Squeaky explains she “was once a strawberry in a Hansel and Gretel pageant” and “didn’t have no better sense than to dance on tiptoe with my arms in a circle over my head just so my mother and father could come dressed up and clap.” She thinks “they’d know better than to encourage that kind of nonsense.” Squeaky didn’t know enough than to obey her parents by dancing in the pageant, when really she’d much rather run. She doesn’t “dance on my toes. I run.” Being a strawberry wasn’t what she wanted to do, it wasn’t being herself. Now, Squeaky obeys herself and does what she wants to do. This is a great example of what “like being people” means to Squeaky.
First of all, Squeaky is the narrator and protagonist in Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run." She is a strong young lady who regularly does two things: she runs and takes care of her mentally challenged brother. In the story, “Raymond’s Run” by Toni Cade Barbara, what “like being people” means to Squeaky, is that to basically be your “true self.” To add on that, it means that you shouldn’t try to pretend to be someone who you really aren’t on the inside. Your way of showing your character and true personality shouldn’t be dependent just pleasing others.
As Squeaky got older she had found another puzzle piece, it was the moment of when she was given the job of protecting her brother that caused her to become caring/protective and
The first reason Squeaky is a memorable character is because she is very protective. She is protective to Raymond, a lot. For instance, in the beginning of the story Squeaky says, “But now, if anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say to his big head you have to come by me.” This shows Squeaky is protective because , she is
The U.S. owned-dog population is 78.2 million and it is growing steadily. With a population so large it is no surprise that the pet
In a all Squeaky is a great character she is my favorite out of the story. She wont back down from anything and she reminds me of myself because she has a big heart and the heart of a lion. No matter what she never gives up and she is willing to fight who ever also she will go through any challenge to be the best she can be. She is a great person and she takes care of her brother which I also like about her. She doesn't care who you are or how big you are she will go at you with everything shes got she knows her size but she doesn't care she is a young
There is no other breed like the Pug. Not only does he look distinctive, but he has a character like no other. His furrowed brow may make him appear perpetually worried, but beneath the wrinkles lies a happy-go-lucky dog with a clown-like personality.
