Mary Ship Informative Speech

The Union Army was not the only branch of military to benefit from freed slaves and their desire to help the North. Mary Touvestre provided information that proved extremely profitable to the Union Navy. Early in the Civil War, the Union burned a shipyard in hopes to keep the Confederate forces from taking control. Because the plan to destroy the shipyard was done is haste, the Confederates were able to take control of the Merrimack, a steam-powered frigate, and begin rebuilding the vessel. While working as a housekeeper for one of the Confederate soldiers, Touvestre discovered the plans for the rebuilding of the ship. Once Mary understood the threat this would cause to the North, she risked her own safety and life to steal a set of plans for

April 14th, 2016, 10:00 pm, on board the Norwegian Dawn. Jackson Shloo and his wife were at dinner, at the McDonald's on board. The rest of the restaurants were closed or too crowded at this hour to get a table. After their “meal,” they decided to have the night of their life, party in the club, then at Midnight go to the ship deck and watch the waves. Their kids were in their room on the ship, fast asleep, nothing could wake them up. Jackson didn’t know that he would never see them again, forever. 11:00 pm. Jackson and his wife were at the club, not drinking, but just dancing, nothing seemed different, out of the ordinary, deadly and life changing.

Have you ever wondered what it was like in the American Revolution? Have you ever wondered who was there? There is an important person you should know. Her name was Margaret Cochran and I am going to tell you some important things about her.

I am writing to you on the behalf of Florence Kelley, a student I have taught since 1890. She hopes to further her education at United States University. Kelley has always been extremely hard-working, empathetic, and compassionate, and strongly believes in the rights of all people, especially women and children. A perfect example of this is when she said, “For the sake of the children, for the Republic in which these children will vote after we are dead, and for the sake of our cause, we should enlist the workingmen voters, with us, in this task of freeing the children from toil” (Wamsley, 1336-1358). In this quote, Kelley was encouraging voters to vote for the abolition or at least limitation of child labor. As one can see, she is very persuasive and deeply cares about her work; she truly wants to free children from suffering due to unnecessary work. This considerate mindset is apparent in her entire work ethic and philosophy.

The Iowa State Fair Queen is, in my opinion, one of the most influential women for the State of Iowa. She serves her state proudly and represents the youth in a way nobody else can! The State Fair Queen is the heart and soul of Iowa, and proves to be an outstanding role model for the youth and all communities. By being selected as my county’s Fair Queen, I am beyond grateful to be able to be in the running for the 2015 State Fair Queen. I adore being there for others and lending my hands wherever I go. I am constantly on the go as traveling is a love of mine, as well as public speaking. In the future, I plan on going into Communications with the intentions to help others and being someone they see as someone to go to. The Iowa State Fair is a

Relevance Statement: According to the CDC, 62% of women of reproductive age are currently using a contraceptive.

Born in the south of Louisiana, and then raised for the rest of her life down here in the Bay Area. My grandma, Patricia Wright, gave me the opportunity to interview her about life and the up bringing as a black child, black teen and a black woman in her era. With my research I went through some of the sources from in class discussions,but happen to relate more with other scholarly sources. I was able to get deep and discuss how it was for her socially, economically, politically, and culturally where she lived.

In her speech to the Republican National Convention, Mary Fisher uses both emotional and logical appeals to unite all Americans in the fight against AIDS and HIV, and to make people think differently about the disease and its victims. To open her speech, Fisher influences the emotions of her audience with heart-wrenching imagery and personal stories that make the audience feel sympathetic to the victims of the disease. After she gains the audience’s pity, Fisher makes the purpose of her speech clear and refutes any counter arguments that could arise. To conclude her argument, Fisher again appeals to the audience’s emotions, but this time she focuses more on the decision that the audience must make and its implications for the future of America.

Day two on the journey that will lead to the triangle. The winds yet to cease, and we zip along on this two week journey. Walking along the edge of the boat, the familiar smell of salt fills my lungs. I put my hands behind my back and walk to the bow of the ship. Standing there, I look ahead. It seems like I’m floating above the water, traveling at speeds beyond the human capability. I walk back under the deck into the stuffy, warm, room that I share.

Good morning, my name is Jane Addams and it's lovely to be here with all of you. While in London with my close friend Ellen Gates Starr in 1888, we visited Toynbee Hall which was a settlement house that aided poor industrial workers. Witnessing those provided services first hand ultimately sparked my desire to bring that system of aid to the United States in order to help lower classes. When Starr and I initially founded the Chicago Hull House in 1889, we both intended for institution to be a place where educated women were able to share their skills and knowledge to the poorer immigrants. Yet it became a overall center for one to experience higher civil and social life through the teachings of education and philanthropy. Our three main principles

Transition: Now that I have discussed the titanic itself, let’s take a look at the tragedy that struck it on its’ maiden voyage.

Mary then started to follow the crew member towards her first class cabin which was located 5 decks away from the ship’s motion. When she entered her luxurious room, she gasped she saw a nice bed with elegant furniture. The floor was covered was shining wood.

Transition: Now that we have learned about the history of the Titanic, I will discuss the

One of the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century, was the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Although many ships have succumbed to the icebergs in the ocean, none have accounted for a greater loss of life than the Titanic (Hill, 2000). All the hype surrounding the Titanic in 1912, made people believe this ship was going to be an unstoppable luxury cruise; even third class passengers would be able to enjoy simple things that weren’t offered on other ocean liners at the time, like cooked meals and their own private cabins. The Titanic was dubbed the Ship of Dreams; however, it would turn into a nightmare for the passengers and their families in less than a week. The maiden voyage from South Hampton, England to New York City, New York would be a journey no one could forget. The sinking of the Titanic would capture the imagination of Hollywood directors, and became the passion of sea explorers who would search for the great vessel.
