The date is June 6th, 1984, and American President Ronald Reagan stands solemnly before a massive stone monument on what he calls "a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France." On this historic day, the President of the United States stands solemnly before a small crowd of some of the bravest men living. The men assembled before him know these cliffs well. These are the Rangers who scaled the cliffs 40 years ago to do more than win the cliffs on the shores of Normandy. These are the Rangers who began the retaking of the entirety of Europe from Axis Control. That was 40 years ago, now only 90 of the original 225 sit before him now. All that can be heard are the crash of the waves on beach below and the occasional cry of a seagull

The definition of distinctive Australia voice is not any voice we hear but it is presented to gain a different perception on fairs. Distinctly Australian voice can be identified as the voice of the Australian values that can be for example, values or beliefs of the Australian society, dignity to express the quality of being worthy of honour or respect and compassion for those in need, justice and fair go of the individual as well as egalitarian favours equality of some people that should get the same, or be treated the same as equals in some worth respect

Speech, language and communication skills support the behavior area in child’s development because if we say negative things to a child then they will feel upset and worthless. Also if we use negative body language this can make a child feel worried or want to push the boundaries of what is/ isn’t acceptable. Children may say horrible things to another child (or adult) so we should try helping the child to see why it isn’t nice to say those things by asking them how they would feel if someone had said it to them instead. The way things are said to a child can make a big difference to how they react. For instance if you say to a child who is messing with a pencil “put that down” in an aggressive way, it could make the child scared, whereas

Cole Jackson period 7 The time of sunshine or summer soldiers is now coming to an end as the colonies enter a time of action needed un order to continue this fight for independence against the British. During the time period, British government had been taxing the colonies for breathing practically. Colonists just withstood an eight-month winter toil in which they were unable to strike or fight back. Thomas Paine, seeing the ripe opportunity for action, called on colonists to form and build a militia to prove a point to the British and how serious colonists are about freedom. However, many people feared the idea of a militia as they felt this was a too bold and harsh decision to go against the British army. Throughout Crisis No. 1, Paine connects

The short story “Speech Sounds” is a science fiction story written by Octavia Butler. This essay portrays a central theme that really opened my eyes as well as many others. This theme is to never take your ability to communicate for granted. Communication is a huge part of our culture and civilization. I never truly realized how important communication really was until reading this story. Without it, we cannot express our feelings in a correct manner. Not being able to connect with other individuals results in it being very hard to cooperate with others, causing chaos amongst society. In a short amount of time, the world would turn on each other causing mass amounts of violence. Likewise, this is similar to the story “Speech Sounds.” There are many takeaways one can have after reading this story.

Just a few hours before workers removed a statue of a general on the confederate side General Robert E. Lee, the fourth statue in recent week to be removed depicting various people on the confederate side- Mayor Mitch Landrieu gave an address on the topic of the removals at Gallier Hall. In his address Mayor Landrieu shares his reasoning with the audience and with the world for the removals of the statues. Mayor Landrieu begins his speech by affectionately talking about the diversity in the city of New Orleans referring to it as, “a melting pot, a bubbling cauldron of many cultures.” Through the speech he addresses issues not only with the statues but with New Orleans itself. He states that in the time of slavery, New Orleans was one of the

The use of Frioozeh Dumas’s voice enhanced the piece for the reader by allowing the reader to visualize the feelings and emotions of Frioozeh Dumas. This is shown in the text when she states “I cringed” and also when Frioozeh says “we were stupid”. The reader can sense the frustration and the embarrassment that she felt as a child. You can also see that she looks into her past and admits that she and her mother lacked the knowledge of most Americans. These quotations of text prove that Dumas’s voice allows the reader to visualize the feelings and emotions of Frioozeh Dumas.

In the coverage of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize winner throughout the news outlets, the visual narrative, or story told through “still photography, illustration, or video,” ascribes meaning to the prospect of a world without nuclear weapons (Ron, 2017, para. 5). On the three websites, optimistic images depicting ICAN members smiling and expressing hope, as well as deliberate sanguine phrasing like “the group was honored for its ‘ground-breaking efforts’” contribute to the inspiring commentary (Adomaitis & Miles, 2017). Whether the articles disagree with The United States’ or Australia’s government, they demonstrate mainstreaming, or the influencing of the readers to align with the anti-Nuclear weapon viewpoint. Phrases such as “huge disappointment” throughout the articles bring awareness to the audience in that their governments need to take peaceful action (Jacks, 2017, para. 16).

Octavia Butler, the author of “Speech Sounds” and many other short stories, is a well-known author for her feminist point of view which might be attributed to her father who died when she was young and her mother taking on the role as the father figure as well as the mother figure. After the bus stop, Valerie Rye, the protagonist in this short story who goes by Rye for a lot of the short story, met Obsidian who Rye assumes his name to be; also, he used to be a LAPD officer. Rye immediately trusts Obsidian to drive her to Pasadena to see what is left of her family. In Octavia Butlers “Speech Sounds,” the men and women have reverse gender roles throughout this short story than we are used to because men in our world tend to have more power over women.

I had the pleasure to speak with Pat E from AZ. Pat stated she spoke with Tarina and would like to commend her on her service today.

How can anyone preserve the Earth? Many people inculcate others on the influences of cutting down trees or littering, but not many of them explicate how to stop the world from dying. Sure, not littering is advantageous, but it doesn't obligatorily plant a tree. With so much pollution, it seems virtually infeasible. But not for this woman. Wangari Maathai was the first woman in East Africa to earn a doctorate degree. With her organization, The Green Belt Movement, a myriad of trees were planted. This slideshow elaborates on Wangari Maathai's influence on people and the world.

She began her speech arguing that although UNICEF’s mission revolves around aiding children around the world facing conflict, the situation in Sudan calls for higher action. Hepburn continued by noting that the problem lies in “man’s tendency to destroy… everything we hold dear,” including children (Hepburn). Here, she makes it evident that the world must not ignore Sudan’s state, for it exemplifies mankind’s inhumanity, which will eventually cause the downfall of civilization. Hepburn also points out that people are to blame, not nature, for the excruciating famine. She asserts, “These are not natural disasters but manmade tragedies for which there is only one manmade solution - peace,” (Hepburn). At this time, she calls to attention the true culprit of the complication to the UNICEF board. She comments that Operation Lifeline Sudan will have been immensely successful even if it does not accomplish everything it aims to. The program will find success in the delivery of the message of hope and proof that “only through the corridors of tranquility” can Sudan find a solution (Hepburn). Hepburn makes a similar conclusion as Akol: the only chance left for Sudan lies in civil peace. Even so, she understands the limits to her contributions, but she remains optimistic. Hepburn concludes her statement with, “There is so much we cannot do. We cannot give the children back their parents, but we can return to them their most basic human rights, their right to health, cleanliness, and life,” (Hepburn). Her powerful use of pathos here emotionally touches the members of the audience and serves as a call to action for supporting relief in
