Short Speech By Charles Fernyhough

Good Morning Members of the discovery channel, today I will be conducting an argument of why The Eureka stockade, a key turning point in Australian Democracy should be transformed into a documentary for your discovery channel. I think this event is important for the Australian Public to learn about, due to the effects it has on modern society today.

'Give me liberty or give me death.' These famous words were uttered by Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775, as a conclusion to his speech delivered to the Virginia House of Burgesses. Within his speech, he uses the three rhetorical appeals (ethos, logos, and pathos) to convey a feeling of urgency toward the changes occurring in policy within the Americas implemented by the British government. He cleverly uses these appeals to disrupt the paradigm that Great Britain is going to let the American people have any liberty.

This document is the transcript of a speech delivered by Thomas Morris Chester to an audience in Philadelphia in 1862. Based on the citation for the passage, we can assume that this version was the one published as a pamphlet.

The Civil War was a time in the United States where everyone was extremely divided. At this time, abolitionists throughout the divided United States attempt to influence people with different views. But yet, almost always, people remain loyal to their views. Wendell Phillips, one of the white abolitionists during the Civil War, delivers a speech about how Toussaint-Louverture, a former slave who leads the struggle and liberates other people who are enslaved in Haiti, is a better man than many other people in history. Phillips claims that Toussaint-Louverture is better than Washington and Cromwell and continues to speak about how people only dislike him due to his race. Phillips references famous historical figures and time, personification, varied syntax and formal diction throughout his speech to argue Toussaint-Louverture should be regarded with the same respect as military leaders such as George Washington.

The average age of the delegates was 42 and some of the most important delegates such as Alexander Hamilton, Edmund Randolph, Gouverneur Morris and James Madison were in their thirties. Many of the delegates graduated from college. In fact over half of them graduated from college 9 of them bring from Princeton and six from British Universities. Even more significant information was their political experience. In fact 8 signed the Declaration of Independence, 25 served in the continental Congress, 15 helped draft the new State Constitutions between 1776 and 1780, and 40 served in the Confederation Congress between 1783 and 1787.

Upchurch The Redneck. Ryan Upchurch isn’t just your typical average person. Upchurch comes from the backwoods of Cheatham County, TN. Upchurch got his start by posting videos of himself ranting about little things on social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, Upchurch would rant about anything, from serious things too little things to put a smile on someone's face. He rants about anything, how he feels, what he thinks about things, from the presidential election, to trending things. He would rant about things in a serious, but, yet comedic way. From expressing how he feels through his videos he also makes music. Although he makes ranting videos to express himself, he also makes music to express himself. He basically talks about coming from the backwoods and not having a hand out, how he worked/s for everything he has, what it likes to have start from having nothing, to having everything. He also started his own clothing line on Redneck Nation. Upchurch’s most famous quotes are “Whatcha think ‘bout that, son?” and “Just Gopher It.” or “RHEC”.

Elie Wiesel was a memorable survivor of the unforgettable survivor of the unforgettable Holocaust. His accomplishments and his wise words were inspiring. He went through so much and he moves on from it and worries about us first.

The article from the FTR documents that stood out to me the most was an excerpt of a speech by Robert H. Clancy, a Republican congressman from Detroit with a large immigrant constituency, in which he defended the “Americanism” of Jewish, Italian, and Polish immigrants and attacked the quota provisions of the bill as racially discriminatory and “un-American.” This speech was made after the WWI economic recession associated with labor unrest and in response to the Immigration Act of 1924. The Immigration Act was a United States federal law that limited the annual number of immigrants who could be admitted from any country to 2% of the number of people from that country who were already living in the United States in 1890, down from the 3% cap set by the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921, according to the Census of 1890. The law was primarily aimed at further restricting immigration of Southern Europeans and Eastern Europeans, but illustrated how white Americans reject anyone who doesn’t fit their ideal white educated mold.

In the “Speech to the Virginia Convention” by Patrick Henry, his American dream is that the citizens of America should not be opposed by any oppressive leaders. He truly believes the people of America must fight for their freedom in order to achieve their own kind of American dream.

In Abraham Lincoln’s Lyceum speech given in 1838, he instructs the audience how perpetuate our political institutions. How do we keep our country united? “The answer is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty…swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others.” But what about bad or unjust laws? “[I]f they exist, [they]should be repealed as soon as possible, still while they continue in force, for the sake of example, they should be religiously observed.”

In class we were shown a recording of the speech, “A call to men”. The first thing I noticed was the title, which made me immediately assume it was going to be a female speaker that was going to speak about feminism; or something along those lines. To see a man giving the speech grabbed my attention instantly. The man giving the speech was Tony Porter, and his audience was mostly women, who made me think, “Is this guy going to be giving a speech about feminism?” While listening to his speech I felt guilty for being quick to judge, because his speech was actually about growing up as a male, and being masculine is today’s society. While Tony Porter was giving his speech, he brought up stories that without a doubt every guy in our class could relate to that left many of us saying, “Wow”.

Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.

In 1996, Christopher Reeve spoke at the Democratic National Convention. The goal was to convince the audience to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Reeve tried to stress how important the ADA is by using powerful words and strong meanings to sway the audience. This can be seen several ways throughout his speech, and shows how strongly he cared about the ADA and getting cures for those who need it. Christopher Reeve had strong ambitions and high goals for the future.

I am Irene, I'm currently a senior in high school. I have many interests including running, sailing, writing, and music composition. This summer I helped instruct youth sailing, being out doors while instructing is fabulous! I love being out on the water in any craft although I do enjoy sailing smaller boats. Currently I am building a twelve ft sailboat for my senior project. I love reading sci-fi and fantasy, although I also enjoy well-written history books. I especially appreciate Terry Pratchett, Brandon Sanderson, and Lucy Worsley. Recently I re-read J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Fall Of Arthur" poem (if you have not read it yet I would highly suggest this book, it details the tale of king Arthur in a style very similar

Robert Fischell is an inventor of medical devices. His goal is to educate the audience with an informative speech about his three inventions that he believes can have a significant positive effect on millions of people. The first invention he describes consists of a device implanted into a patient to detect acute myocardial infection (AMI). The second invention is a device that helps eliminate migraine headaches. The third invention details the best way to treat epilepsy through a responsive electrical treatment. Robert Fischell delivered the speech in acceptance of his 2005 TED award in an official conference. His credibility cannot be doubted as he is the inventor of other well-known medical devices such as, the rechargeable pacemaker, the insulin pump, and a pre-cursor to GPS. The speaker’s fascinating inventive capability, and determination to make the world a better place, adds to his credibility. The TED conference consisted of approximately a thousand people from different fields such as technology, design, business, science, entertainment, as well as the non-profit world. The audience is not only limited to the live audience as millions of people can access the 26:46 minute speech through the internet and mass media.
