Rojack Persuasive Speech

Hello Chicago, welcome to Ruffhouse News at Nine. I’m Jake Christopher Ruff reporting live from Block 37 in downtown Chicago. Today we start with a look back to the past of Chicago. Located at the corner of LaSalle and Adams stood a truly special building. The home insurance building. Though it looked like nothing special from the outside, it was what was on the inside that counted. The building was the first to successfully use a steel skeleton. The skeleton was invented by a physicist named William LeBaron Jenney. Born in 1832 Massachusetts, Jenney was fascinated in physics from a young age. Wanting to pursue his interests he studied at Harvard. When given the opportunity to study abroad three years later he moved to Paris. There

Greetings Captain Jack and my fellow Modocs, today I would like to speak to you on behalf of the government's proposal.

While Mrs. Wright lashes out against her perceived cage, her gender role, by killing Mr. Wright, Nora’s character ultimately decides to trip the latch, to fly free from the bars. Nora’s complex personality proves to be difficult to predict to the very end, when she decides to shirk her duties to her husband and children to focus on herself, to serve her own needs for individuality, a decision that was not entirely popular with readers and audiences alike. Indeed, Nora quite easily refuses to be the “doll” in Torvald’s house, and abandons her loving, though misguided husband, and her children. She feels driven to do this once she realizes that she and Torvald had never exchanged a serious word in

Jack, the protagonist and narrator, was a software programmer for a company called Media Tronics, until he discovered that his boss had been stealing from and was cheating the company. His attorney told him that he should try to leave the company immediately, but instead Jack went to a board member. The board member, also being in on the indiscretion, got Jack fired for gross negligence. That led to Jack becoming a stay at home dad for his three children, Nicole, Eric, and Amanda. Meanwhile, Jack’s wife was the vice president for a company named Xygos. His wife, Julia, started to become cold towards him and the children, and he started to suspect that she was having an affair.

Finally, if Jack was to leave the men, then he would have the opportunity to chase his own desires. On his lunch break one day, Jack runs into his ex-wife and later tell the audience, “My ex-wife looks terrific. She drives a BMW now and wears a lot of bright green” (Griffin 21). This really contrasts with how Jack is doing in his life. This passage shows that he desires things that he could have, but the four men are holding him back.

Maybe today we woke up on the wrong side of the bed, maybe our routine was messed up, we had a fight with our best friend, or work is getting more and more stressful. Who knows, it's just a bad day, but no matter how horrid the day may seem, it is never as bad as it seems. There are many individuals to whom a bad day for us is a blessing to them, especially if you compare our present-day circumstances to the circumstances in which they are forcibly accustomed to live in. There are individuals that work hard all their lives thinking that if you work hard there is no possible way that you won't achieve your dreams. Ronny is from a small pueblo called Metlaltoyuca located in the state of Puebla, Mexico. He is living proof that you can have all of the right qualities, the right intentions, do absolutely everything right and still not be able to survive in a country that is filled with corruption , social inequality, and bad use of its resources.

In two different speeches by two different Native American chiefs, Chief Seattle and Red Cloud, a similar topic in that of the removal of Indians by the U.S. government, was addressed. However, the speeches by the two chiefs were very different, in terms of tone, figurative language, and the clarity of their message. In, "On the Red Man's Trail," Chief Seattle used much figurative language, especially similes, to get his point across. Some of the numerous examples are, "Yonder sky that has wept tears of compassion upon our fathers for centuries untold...," (paragraph 1) "My words are like the stars that never set," (paragraph 2) When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, and disfigure their faces with black paint, their hearts also are disfigured and turn black...," (paragraph 6) "My people are ebbing away like the fast receding tide that will never flow again," (paragraph 12) and, "Some grim Fate of our race is on the Red Man’s trail, and wherever he goes he will still hear the sure approaching footsteps of his fell destroyer and prepare to stolidly meet his doom, as does the wounded doe that hears the approaching footsteps of the hunter." (paragraph 22) Meanwhile, in his speech after Wounded Knee, Red Cloud sparsely used figurative language. The vast majority of his statements were easy to comprehend and literal, with some examples being, "I will tell you the reason for the trouble. When we first made treaties with the Government, our old life and our

**Introduction:**Ladies and gentlemen, life often unfolds with unpredictability, and at the tender age of 16, many may feel as though their story has reached its climax. Today, I stand before you as a testament to the fact that life is an ever-evolving journey—one that continues to offer profound opportunities for growth and exploration.

When Torvald finds her hairpin stuck in the keyhole of the letter box, Nora tells him it must have been their children trying to get into it, not willing to admit that she had tried to break into his things. Although the truth about her is about to be discovered, Nora wants to preserve the last bits of dignity that she has left, finally worrying about herself before anyone else. This last lie however, leads up to her finally speaking the truth and expressing that she no longer feels that she loves Torvald. Her husband is furious at her, insulting her, and fails to see that every lie that she told was for his sake. Realizing that Torvald can’t see her side of things and will only find fault in what she did, she comes to her decision to leave her family. Nora states that she is not happy and never really was, her marriage to Torvald was as fakes as a doll house according to her. Rather than lie, she is completely honest now and states that she wants to become her own person and learn that which she doesn’t know despite what society might think.

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
