Martin Luther King Jr. is known for his great speeches and movements for civil rights. He also wrote an inspiring book called Why We Can't Wait. This book describes social conditions and attitudes of Black Americans in the 1960's. In the introduction to his novel, Martin Luther King uses persuasive devices such as parallelism, rhetorical questions, and pathos in order to seek social change for African Americans.

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.

Make a list everything that needs to get done and keep it in a viewable area that you use a lot. Like your refrigerator or your desktop on your computer.

The suggestion I picked was “Kill the Notification” because I’m always using my phone. At then end I forget that I had homework to do, so I end up in rush. In my opinion another suggestion that could work is to think how could it affect you. Before doing anything else think if doing that first is going to affect what you really have to do. Sometimes you focus on other things and you don’t see the small effects it could bring you. So my suggestion is to think how could doing something else can affect you or the thing you're supposed to be doing.

This will allow you a chance to use the bathroom, get your coffee or tea, use the bathroom and get settled. It'll also give you ample time to plan out your day and decide what's important for you to complete. Create a list of priorities. Once you're clear on your marching orders for the day, work on one task until it's done. For some people, there's a great temptation to surf the web and get distracted. There are lots of internet web browsers that will lock your internet access for a specific time. Start with focusing on an assignment for twenty minutes. Build up that discipline until you can go the entire day without checking the news outlets. It's not easy for most people with internet access. However, it is possible and will allow you to produce so much more during the

Knowing that I have my class work scheduled to be done with days to spare in case of an emergency is encouraging. I also enjoy knowing what needs to be done every day in order to stay on track. On the other hand, it is discouraging to not be able to work uninterrupted in those blocks of time that I have set aside to get my school work completed. My children come in to talk to me frequently, while I am trying to study, slowing me down. I have had a friend offer to let me come to her house to work without interruptions. This may be something that I have to start doing. My classes are taking a lot of time right now. I hope I will work faster as I adjust to being a student

“Not bad for 8 months pregnant, so I am not feeling too great… Really quick—I called to talk to you about our 4-year-old,” the pregnant woman said in a panicking, exhausted voice, “He is having trouble understanding that he will have a baby brother in a few weeks. He wants to name him ‘Pig.’”

-Stop procrastinating by using a day/week planner. Breaking large projects into smaller ones and set short- , mid- and long-term deadlines.

Very early on when I was growing up, my parents would push me to do better in school and at my baseball games. For me going to school and practice keep on getting repetitive so as a young kid, I did what anyone would do, I started getting lazy and started to slack off. Don’t get me wrong I still keep on doing most of my homework and I still went to practice, I just didn’t put in the effort to do better that I knew I can. But after this game, this one game where it came down to the wire, I had experienced the most tragic lost in my baseball career. And to this day, I’ll never forget the words that my grandpa told me after the game…

Senators of the congress, Ladies, and Gentlemen, I am here in Washington today to inform you that generation through generation we have created new and modern inventions. Cars, running water, even electronics are all inventions all have helped us live easier smoother lives. People are planning to colonize Mars, and they have already gone to the moon. But, are space programs taking it too far?

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.

[ Slide #2 - ] I’ve been hearing "those teens are so lazy" for 6 years now, but typically we’re not. They’re advanced multi-taskers - on average we’re juggling between the schoolwork, homework, part-time jobs, dealing with family, socializing, extracurricular activities, school clubs, sports, etc. Having to deal with those things make it feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Most of us don’t realize that there is a simple solution- and that is to prioritize more. No one realizes that Prioritizing can help manage your stress, anxiety depression, and maybe some other stuff that you’re dealing with.

My goal for this semester is to graduate while working. My English goal is to pass. I am trying to raise my level of reading and writing. The number of hours I work per week affects my school work, especially english class. The reading and writing takes up a lot of time, time in which I would rather be at work. As a reader, I need more time to get a book finished because when I am working I get tired and if I’m tired I don’t want to read. As a writer, I wait until the very last minute to start writing an essay for school. Honestly, my writing does not usually go into depth because I don’t want to take the time to work on it. I have a problem with procrastination.

Another forty-five minutes pass, and still, my phone remains silent. Is it still on? The screen illuminates as
