“Speech?” blurted Philip. “Uh, what was that, sir? Oh, yes, if you haven’t prepared an acceptance speech, you needn’t worry. We will have someone introduce you and all you need to do is explain the reasons behind your work, what drove you, and how it makes you feel to have done it. I am sorry if you did not get the message about the speech, but I am more than confident you will be able to produce one without problems,” said the man. Philip’s heart sank.

In Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison the narrator recalls the dying words of his grandfather, “I want you to overcome’em with yeses, undermine’em with grins, agree’em to death and destruction, let’em swoller you till they vomit or bust wide open.” (Ellison 264) These words haunt the narrator throughout his life and especially as he gains success as a student and approval from whites. The narrator’s graduation speech about humbleness embodies some understanding of his grandfather’s words. This need to
of the PAVC, the author Rex Feral should be held responsible for writing the book “Hit Man”. This book has incited actions of murder for three individuals.

another hit for theaters. Recently, “Spider-man: Homecoming” was shown on the big screen. This comes as no surprise, Spider-man has always been one of the most profitable superheroes to exist on screen along with on the page.

fully engage. I chose the latter. But in the times that I am red in the face, attempting to digest the opinions of my hyper-conservative counterparts, I remember an important message from Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” speech: “It’s not the critic who counts… the credit goes to the man who is actually in the arena…” Roosevelt’s words challenge me daily to strive for political change in
"I the water girl will try to save the world. Zeal Man turned to me and said "are you sure"? I look at him and said yes I’m sure. Bluster Woman told me to be "Okay." "Okay it's time for you to go" said Zeal Man. So I left to save the earth. Bluster Woman said that I had to go to Washington D.C. I put on my gear, and go when I got there the grass, trees and flowers were all dry. I said to myself "I can do this, the whole city is counting on you." First, I will have to worn the whole city.
