Persuasive Speech

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

AW: Speaking of the new project: when we told our viewers that we would be speaking with you many of the fans BEGGED us to get more details on an upcoming rock project. They want to know basically anything you can throw at us. Do you have a release timeframe in mind? A single in the works? Is there anything about that project you could tell us that you’re excited to speak about?

The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man’s Greatness by Ayn Rand is written from her point of view watching the space shuttle (rocket ship) take off and describing the scenario that is surrounding

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

Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

Two of our fellow seniors, Curtis Robinson and Sumayyah Singletary, have taken the initiative to plan an unofficial class trip. The following is a message from them:

C. As long as schooling increases the marginal return to work more than crime and schooling does not decrease patience levels or increase risk aversion.

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.

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

Nameless lake here, and these blue waters they are my friend, am I near the end

All High School students have said “I hate school” or “I can’t wait to get outta here” right? Then someone replies with “ wait till you get my age and you’ll wish you were there again”. They definitely weren't lying when they told me this. When I got into the Freshman Center most teachers mentioned “these next four years of school are gonna fly by”. Those teachers told the truth.

What could a 10 year old possibly be worrying about? When I was 10 years old, my largest and most terrifying concern was that I broke my yellow crayon and that I would be labeled as the girl who had to take the walk of shame to the back of classroom to get an old, used yellow crayon from the community set. What a concept? The extent of social pressure that was forced on me was my crayon credibility and even then my friends didn’t feel the need to shun me for my shameful misconduct. More and more often, children are expected to endure an unnatural process as early as fourth grade and extending beyond their college years. While it is not ideal and obviously detrimental to the development of children and their concepts of social acceptance, this concept is all but surprising just as is the result, but the epidemic is only worsened by the lack of understanding of the situation. For all we know, it might mean the death of a basic human desire. But, what is it that we have all overlooked or underestimated? What “concept” could possibly be our downfall. It is simple, yet influential. Increasing rare, yet less and less sought after. And in the end, it is a master of imitation, masked as other qualities that lead us astray, away from our goal, away from our happiness. It is what everyone wants and yet no one can identify as exactly what it is, genuine human connection.

In today’s society we tend to praise children by giving them plaques, trophies, and medals for anything; even just showing up. We are afraid that our children will be hurt because they lost. That thought makes us oblivious to the fact that we are sending a dangerous message to our children: Everyone's a winner. We are teaching our children that it is never okay to lose, so we make an excuse to make them a winner. Parents, coaches, and league directors should be against giving participation awards. Putting this false claim of “everyone's a winner” in their minds is only setting them up for failure and will never teach them the truth of the real world. Parents and league directors should stop allowing participation trophies because it creates unmotivated generations, makes kids feel that they are entitled to a reward, and does not give a true reality of what the real world is like outside of our adolescent years.

I noticed this years ago when I was little, I noticed kids at school treating the dark girl in the corner differently and talking about her behind her back. I noticed my parents holding my hand a little tighter when a black man would walk by. The protestors are marching down the street in support of their loved one, not for attention of skin color. There are three types of people involved in the act, the peaceful, the violent, and the judgmental. I support the protesting. I support the friends and family members for trying to make a difference for the loved one they lost. I encourage them to speak out in a peaceful way. I encourage them, because that’s what I would do.

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.
