Persuasive Speech - Original Writing

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

Students at Palmyra Area High School should not be allowed to display information supporting the display of the Confederate Flag in the atrium. The flag is seen as a controversial symbol, and can allow disruption to happen throughout the school. Supporting the flag is seen as a something throughout heritage, however, the flag can also be seen as racist. Throughout school hours, the school has the privilege to monitor the student's free speech, attempting to make the school a place that all the students want to be.

We are here for one goal I but what if you could do that while helping others. (Goodwill)

1. Why is this topic important to them? The topic is important to my audience because it may help them see the death penalty in a different light.

My fellow Huaorani we are facing a mass extinction. If we don’t act soon the tradition we have set up will disappear completely. The oil companies are trying to take over the ground beneath us because there is oil. They will stop at nothing to continue to make a profit and will show no mercy to us doing so. They look at us as if we are not even human, they show no respect for our traditions or our way of life.

Hearing no response for a few seconds, she smiled and nestled deeper under the cover, sighing as the warmth surrounded her body. She had no chance of returning to sleep, however, as the harsh hammering returned, louder this time. Squeaking, she then shot up from the bed,

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

Imagine you’ve saved your allowance to buy a basketball. Then, you take said basketball, go to the park, and everybody at the park uses your basketball, but they don't let you play in the game with them. Everyone is just out there scoring with your basketball, passing it around, laughing and treating it as if they own it. These people don't even let you shoot on the opposite end with an old raggedy basketball that they’ve abused; you just have to watch these motherfuckers. But those are the rules or “the way things are done,” so you’re told to respect it and wait your turn, but by the time it’s your turn, it’s starting to get dark out and nobody wants to play anymore. So, now you’re walking home staring at your once new basketball with an empty park as your backdrop and you're pissed, but you learned your lesson.

When our founding fathers founded this nation, they had a vision of democracy and freedom in their sights, but since then we have strayed from this path in many ways. I would like to focus on an institution which I have been part of for twelve years of my life: the American education system. The goals of the education system, I believe, are to prepare students to help contribute to our society in an efficient and positive way, and to allow them freedom in their future endeavors. However, I think that the U.S. education system hasn’t been achieving these goals. Students aren’t given a realistic image of the future, and their freedom of choice is being restricted. This does not mean that the U.S. education system isn’t producing any results at all, for the majority of the world’s best universities are located here in the States and thousands of international students come to study here annually. However, there is still much reform that is needed to make it better.

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” This quote it by Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein is a physicist that was born in Germany. Some of his accomplishments are learning that the universe was dynamic. He also created a major part in atomic energy, E=MC2. It's relevant because I tried something new that I’ve never done before.

Among the many rights granted to Americans in the Constitution, the right to Free Speech has caused many disputes. This right is highly valuable to United States citizens, but it can raise some complications when it comes to a school environment, where it may not be appropriate to convey every single idea or opinion. One such complication arose when two students enrolled in Homewood High school in Chicago, arrived to school in unapproved uniform to express their sentiment toward recent events in the country. After being suspended for refusing to remove the attire, the students filed a lawsuit against the school district arguing that their suspension violated their First Amendment freedoms. According to precedents set by Tinker v. Des Moines, Gillman v. School Board for Holmes County, and Isaacs v. Board of Education, the outcome of the case of Washington and Shultz should be in the plaintiff’s favor.

One day, I was at school my mom came to pick me up from school early I thought I had a doctor appointment. We were walking out and my mom, she looks at me and I was like WHAT!!!!!!!! She like I got to tell you something, but you promise me that you won´t cry I was like I promise. We got into the car and my mom was like your dad got deported. I was speechless, shock and I started tearing up. The only thing that pops up in my head was about my brother and sister what are we going to do now? How are they going to take it when my mom tells them? We got home and I asked my mom when is she telling my brother and sister that my dad got deported, she like whenever we sit down and eat dinner. We sat down at the table to eat dinner and everything got quiet my mom was like Gabby and David I got something to tell y'all. My mom finally told my brother and sister they started tearing up and brother was like you are lying to me, I was like David we ain't lying we telling the truth and he went running to his room. That same day my mom had to go back to work and we couldn't stay alone at home, so we went to work with her. We had to stay there until 1 in the morning that's the time my mom got out of work.We had no support from my dad family the only support we had was my mom's brother Nando and one of my dad's family in Memphis. My mom's brother, he goes to work at 9 pm and gets out at 8 am and he came here to see us if everything okay. He would wash our clothes when my mom would be working.

It was a warm sunny day in March, everything was normal or so I thought. I got up at 6:00 a.m sharp. I took a shower, then got dressed and ate breakfast. Once I was done with breakfast I did my hair and brushed my teeth. Then, I went to my bus stop and got on the bus. I go to Guava Middle School in Montana. It is a nice school with good teachers. Most of the kids that go to our School are pretty wealthy, so we have nice things.

I woke up with my eyes shooting open, and my heart pounding as if my body just stopped moving completely. The yelling came right through the walls, and familiar voices rising above the sacred silence. As I went to go investigate, I opened my door only to see my father and brother in a heated argument, ready to fight. The explicit language coming out from my father’s voice frightened me because I knew what was going to happen next. My father threw the first punch, knocking down my brother to the floor. I stood there frozen, trying to understand why this all started. They fight endlessly, while my mother desperately tries to break them apart with tears running down her face. I feel like running, but where to?

“Beep,Beep, Beep, Beep,” was the sound that played over and over at 6:30 A.M. On September 11th, 2001. I started to toss and turn, finally I realized my alarm was making that obnoxious beeping sound, so I rolled over and hit the snooze button. At that time I realized the time was nearly 6:45 A.M., the bright red numbers pointed directly into my foggy, awakening eyes. As I rolled out of bed my feet hit that same chilled floor as they do each morning. At that time I knew it was time for a shower, and a sip of coffee before I headed out the door for work, and start my daily routine. Morning coffee could not come any faster. I quickly shuffled out of the shower, and got into my cleanly pressed suit. I am feeling pretty confident and brave, because It was my nice new suit, which had become my favorite. Taking a last look at that clock on my night stand the time read 7:35 A.M. I hurried myself, knowing I had to leave soon. Rushing into the kitchen I grabbed my stainless steel mug out of the big stack of clean dishes. As I poured the hot coffee I watched It steam, just then I knew I was ready to go on with my day. Heading for the door I grabbed my brief case, kissed my wife goodbye, and said, “I love you, and see you after work.”
