John Branson Informative Speech

In our lifetime a lot of unusual things will happen, some good and some bad. My speech in particular is about one of the bad things that has happened in our parents, maybe even grandparents lifetimes. This case is frightening and disturbing, but the most shocking part is how he doesn’t remember what he did or how he did it. All he remembers is being taken into custody and an abnormal loss of teeth. My information is from “my life among the serial killers”, written by Helen Morrison, an interview from CBS news, and an article written by one of the detectives assigned to the case. In “my life among the serial killers”, Morrison tells about her time hypnotizing “Baby faced” Richard Macek and the horrifying story of what he did.

Colorado is a beautiful and historical state; the wide open plains, the glorious tall mountains, the history of its people that have shaped Colorado into what it is today. There is a lot to explore and learn when it comes to the Centennial State. Because of its history, Colorado is considered to be the meeting ground amongst three sections in the American West; the Atlantic Coast and Mississippi Valley, North and South, and Massachusetts and Virginia. These sections have shaped and developed the settlement and region in their own special ways.

Walt Disney once said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible,” and I guess he was right. Disney made films that made a wooden puppet into a real boy, a thief into a handsome, and a beast into a man. Disney created dreams for little kids of becoming royalty, but was that all they had in mind? Although Disney films may seem full of happy thoughts with true love’s kiss, but in reality they are just bibidi bodibi booed with a dash of pixie dust to hide the real truth behind the films.

A highly influencing person that visited to our school was Bobby Jones. He came to share his story with us on October 23. Bobby Jones grew up in Yankton, South Dakota, with his parents, his brother, and his sister. Bobby came to persuade our students about staying on track and not to go down the wrong paths in life. A powerful message was delivered that day. He had a very specific goal, which was to tell us his story and give us more of an insight to stay focused on life. Bobby Jones had great information for everyone and I will always remember this presentation. He had a unique way of getting the audience’s attention. Frequently, he would do clapping exercises with the audience, which was very fitting due to the audience members who attended. There were middle school students at this speech as well as high school students. In that aspect, I feel as if he did a great job adapting to his audience.

Upchurch The Redneck. Ryan Upchurch isn’t just your typical average person. Upchurch comes from the backwoods of Cheatham County, TN. Upchurch got his start by posting videos of himself ranting about little things on social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, Upchurch would rant about anything, from serious things too little things to put a smile on someone's face. He rants about anything, how he feels, what he thinks about things, from the presidential election, to trending things. He would rant about things in a serious, but, yet comedic way. From expressing how he feels through his videos he also makes music. Although he makes ranting videos to express himself, he also makes music to express himself. He basically talks about coming from the backwoods and not having a hand out, how he worked/s for everything he has, what it likes to have start from having nothing, to having everything. He also started his own clothing line on Redneck Nation. Upchurch’s most famous quotes are “Whatcha think ‘bout that, son?” and “Just Gopher It.” or “RHEC”.

A lot of people think you should never move to Newton Kansas because of the Newton massacre witch gave Newton the name bloodiest town in America. That is not a fair reason because that happened in the 1860s no where near 2015. The reason you should come is to see the history like the old steam engine and old buildings on Main Street.

In my research I discovered that the town of Silver City have close neighboring towns around their surroundings, such as Bayard, Hurley, Santa Clara, Cliff and Hanover etc. All these different towns are just few miles away from each other and most people interconnect between towns in their related activities such as school, Medicare and work. Another, interesting fact about Silver City in particular is the progress of some major agencies in the town, and people view Silver City as the big town that provides some of the needed resources to other

February 26, 2015, Treyvon Martin is shot and killed by George Zimmerman. One year later a jury would find Zimmerman not guilty of murder, sparking outrage and putting the spotlight on the suspicions borne by African Americans.

“We are all gathered here tonight to talk about a recent series of events that has come to my attention,” said Cotton Mather as he looked out at the group of board members. Anne Hutchinson was always the one to speak at these kinds of meetings, but I guess she allowed Cotton to take over for the night. Everyone sat eagerly at the edge of their seats except for Anne, who already knew what this breaking news was. The other board members were Jonathan Edwards and William Penn, two men who never seemed to get along with each other. William just wanted things to be peaceful, but Jonathan always took to more dark and violent route. They sat at opposite ends of the room, and rarely said a word to each other - well, at least not any kind ones. “Two

Living in Tupelo, MS really showed me how much I liked Kansas City better. Everything is different. The schools are different. Tupelo is way smaller than Kansas City. Also, there’s not much to do as far as having fun goes. In my opinion, Missouri is better than Mississippi.

I was born in Dallas, Texas and moved to Denver, Colorado when I was three, and when I turned twelve we moved to Willard, Missouri. I am now 25 so Springfield is not really a new area for me but when I first moved here is was defiantly a place I had to get used to. I not only went from the city and a stop light right outside my bedroom window to living in the country on a farm but I also went from very divers cities to being a major minority. Springfield was described to me as a beautiful small town, compared to big cities like Denver and Dallas Springfield is truly a small town for me. Growing I was very sheltered so I saw that I was a minority but as far as the need in this town I never really noticed it until my husband and I started mentoring troubled youth and I started seeing the drug use, high school drop outs, and low income that comes with broken homes.

In class we were shown a recording of the speech, “A call to men”. The first thing I noticed was the title, which made me immediately assume it was going to be a female speaker that was going to speak about feminism; or something along those lines. To see a man giving the speech grabbed my attention instantly. The man giving the speech was Tony Porter, and his audience was mostly women, who made me think, “Is this guy going to be giving a speech about feminism?” While listening to his speech I felt guilty for being quick to judge, because his speech was actually about growing up as a male, and being masculine is today’s society. While Tony Porter was giving his speech, he brought up stories that without a doubt every guy in our class could relate to that left many of us saying, “Wow”.

It was a beautiful day in Dallas, Texas. The sun was out, a nice crisp breeze drifting through the air. It was a few days before John F. Kennedy, who is the current president, would drive down in Dealey Plaza in front of everyone. John F. Kennedy was a boy who grew up in a wealthy family. He was the second child of nine. He grew up, went to college and graduated from Harvard University with a science degree in 1940. Later after joining the Navy, he was sent to the South Pacific. He got wedded to a young lady named Jacqueline on September 12, 1953. He eventually was elected president in 1960 at the age of forty-three. He was the youngest person to ever be elected president.

“My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” This is a famous quote said by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy when he was getting to take the oath of holding the potential position during the Inaugural address. This quote has been an inspiration of an unaccountable number of American lives.
