    When he talks his opinions are directly related to the topic, giving him a personal voice. He exaggerates everything so it seems much more drastic and related then it might be, for example, a big part of his speech was related to how humans are directly connected to air; he talked about it for more than five minutes. Most of Suzuki's texts are about helping the planet, so naturally he has an ethical voice. He often says that it's only fair we treat the the planet respectfully because it has provided everything for us. He also questions why we treat the planet the way we do even though we know just how much we rely upon it. He uses repetition to really prove his point, constantly saying 'fuse' to emphasise the connection between humans and air. To connect to his audience he has a casual voice, it helps everyone in the audience understand even the most complicated things. He also quips in some jokes to make sure everyone is the audience is paying attention, a humorous presentation is just that. He has an experienced voice, often talking about his life and his experience. He also refers to the fact he is a geneticist so it shows he has experience in the topic. Finally Suzuki speak slyly, sneaking in meanings that aren't obvious at the very start. He doesn't say it straight out but he suggests that the economy isn't a good thing. He spoke about how we are taught that the economy is the most important thing. Notice how he says we, suggesting that it's something we all have in common. He also always say the economy, and that not only disconnects it from him but also disconnects the audience, leaving them guilt free when it's…

    Baseball has always been America's national pastime. In the early and all the way into the mid 50's, baseball was America and America was baseball. The only thing lacking in the great game was the absence of African American players and the presence of an all white sport. America still wasn't friendly or accepted the African American race and many still held great prejudice towards them. All this would change when the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Branch Rickey decided he was going to sign a Negro player. Jackie Robinson was that player and Jackie Robinson changed the game, America, and history. By looking specifically at his childhood adversity, college life and the hardships he encountered by becoming the first black player in the game, it will be shown why Jackie Robinson is a great American story and hero.…

    Jackie Robinson and integration are two phrases that cannot be segregated. Whether he liked it or not, he played the star role in the integration of society during the time that he played Major League Baseball with the Brooklyn Dodgers. His heroic journey that landed him in the Majors shows, “how integration has come to baseball and how it can be achieved in every corner of the land” (Robinson 16). But this amazing triumph over the Jim Crow laws could only have been possible in New York as Robinson says, “Cooperstown, New York, and Birmingham, Alabama, are both in the Unites States. In Cooperstown I had been the guest of honor in the company of three other new Hall of Famers: Bill McKechnie, Edd Roush and Bob Feller. In Birmingham I was ‘that negrah who pokes his nose into other peoples’ puddin’” (14).…
