Surfing Persuasive Speech

PERSUASIVE SPEECH OUTLINE SAMPLE - MOTIVATED SEQUENCE PATTERN By Fui Oili (with modifications made by S. Pastor) TITLE: Vacation in Hawaii GENERAL PURPOSE: To persuade SPECIFIC PURPOSE (GOAL): To persuade my audience to choose to take a vacation to the neighbor islands before taking a vacation out of the state or country. GENERAL IDEA: Visitors come from all over the world to experience the beauty and adventure of Hawaii. However, many local residents haven’t had the opportunity to experience all that our islands have to offer. Instead of always travelling to the mainland for vacations, Hawaii residents should first experience the uniqueness of vacationing right here on a neighbor island. INTRODUCTION (Attention Step) I. (Attention

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.

*C. Motivation*: What if the person waiting on the list needing an organ transplant was someone you loved? Imagine if you had a brother or sister who had unexpectedly died and you were able to meet the person who received their heart, for example. Think of the satisfaction and possible comfort knowing that your brother or sister provided life for somebody else.

Sweaty, a protester stands enraged on a grimy battleground of ideas, a speaker spouts controversial ideas as the crowd rages forward, and voters raise their hands as they make their solemn decision. The ideal which makes these amazing situations possible is written into many Constitutions across many nations: free speech. With the advent of the internet and the patriot act, this concept is being stretched to its limits, and people on all sides are looking to the past and future for answers. Some look hard at the negatives that free speech brings while others look at it’s upsides. When speech incites violence, is it still only words? When speech is limited, where does it end? To me, all types of speech, hateful or not, should be protected, because words have the power to change thoughts, and actions have lasting consequence. Free speech is a tool for the common era, and should be taken very seriously.

In a small town on a small street in a small neighborhood in a small house was a girl name Eribella she was 14 years years old 5ft 3 and all she wanted was to be popular you know sit with the cool girls walk down the hall and had everyone saying hi not having to think about what her name was and just being that person everyone knew.

For the next week, I spent a good amount of everyday crying. This was because I thought I would never cheer again. The one thing I love that I am remotely good at had been taken away from me and I had nothing. But, that monday, my coach walked up to me in the crowded and noisy school hallway and said, “You weren't scared away from cheerleading were you?”, and with that, I came home and told my mom, “Mom, could call the tumbling coach and make an appointment for when I am cleared?” and in that moment I knew I couldn`t give up and would only get better. I wasn’t going to mope around, which is why I went to every cheer practice, even the optional ones my healthy teammates didn’t go to, and saw my friends tumbling on the blue panel mats. I watched videos of people tumbling daily, and told myself that I am not the kind of person who will ever be scared away from something. The sadness and angriness never went away, but the determination grew stronger until it crushed everything else. Everything was improving, and I even started to like physical therapy. About two months later, I walked into my intimidating doctor`s office, he told me to give him the removable cast I had been given, and then he threw it in the trash and said, “you're cleared.” These words were not good enough to make me describe my emotions as, “happy” or “filled with joy”. What I felt simply cannot be described in any other way then, “ready”. I was so extremely ready to be a cheerleader again that I

The world awakened from a long, fitful sleep, but upon awaking, the world noticed that a human was in the cavern of what the humans call “the cavern of elucidation.” A dim recollection surfaced in the world’s mind of humans that would come to this cave in ancient days and wake the world to commune with it. Hazy thoughts of annoyance registered in the back of the world’s mind as it gathered a voice and spoke into the cave.

On November 29th 2016, I got the worst phone call anyone could ever have. I remember very vividly standing in the new gym of the Northeast Community School watching the varsity basketball game. I was in a very good mood as we had just won our game. My phone suddenly rang. It was a close friend. I answered in a cheery voice. When she said hi back, she was crying and very quiet. My heart sank.

“Do not change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.” Every single day of my life I have lived by this quote and have felt the effects of it but it was not until two years ago that I understood it. “MARGARET ANNE BECKETT get your butt out of bed!” my mom screamed from outside my door. I trudged out of bed in desperate need of caffeine. I have never been fond of the morning but this morning I was desperately hoping would just disappear. You know that day that you wish would just fall into the background and would never happen again. My first day of JROTC was just that. I despised the Army program with all my heart. Why did I have to do this stupid program it was full of people I didn’t know who would think I was the strangest person that they ever met. Taking the shortest shower known to humanity I threw on a hoodie I had permanently borrowed from one of my sibling and a pair of yoga pants. The smell of eggs wafted down the hallway and I knew in my heart that they were for me. I slowly trudged into the kitchen dreading the moment those yellow runny things slid on my plate. “Mom don't we have something else to eat for breakfast we have already had them 4 times this week and it is only Wednesday.” If there is a look that could make a grown man shut up and start crying that look my mom gave me was exactly that. I forced the rubber like food down my throat and jumped into the car. What have I gotten myself into? The only reason I had

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.

The spirals twist and turn ever so in the direction of a clock. She runs bolded and determined, but with bundles of nerves. Her hair red as the burning fire being blown back by the air drafts, but not strong enough to cease her from moving on forward. The rhythmic beat of the music grows louder and louder like the sound of a roaring, red fire ready to initiate the path destined to take. The lyrics speak of the thoughts as she runs helplessly to help her loved one as soon as possible. The sounds continue to grow allowing to follow to her journey. And the images of the clocks indicate less amount of time she has to make a change in her journey. As she runs through people, their fate is altered in a positive or negative result. But, who has the control over another people’s journey? Run one, run two, run three. Stop. We are reminded of the free will people have, but reject the state of choice and election. It is only when people realize the powerful and passion to have self-determination and value in their own can they truly and sincerely have a love to live freely and joyful.

They can be some of the best or the worst days in the year. Being a student-athlete is very difficult but it pays off in a lot of ways. Playing a sport drains your muscles, stains your clothes, and brings pain and stress to life. It also gives a close-knit, dependable peer family and teaches lessons of hard work, dedication, and how not to take life too seriously. However much I wax and wane about how much I hate cross country, there’s so much I love about it, too.

12:25pm — Friday. You take third lunch, so why are you still sitting in class? Your bio teacher wants to finish telling you the homework. Who cares? It’ll be on schoology. She dismisses you. You sling your bag over your shoulder and dart out of the classroom. Wait, where’s your phone? You slap your pockets; no phone to be found. You check the side pockets on your backpack; nope. Frustrated, you swing your backpack around your body and shove your hand to the bottom. You feel around a bit, shove the broken pencils and various pens around. Push that math binder out of the way and boom, got your phone. Next class starts at 1 o’clock. Time to move.

Imagine that you have a half glass of water left in a cup. Do you have a glass half full of water or a glass half empty? Keep this in your head throughout my speech. Abraham Lincoln once said, “Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” I believe that everyone can be happy if they want to be.
