The Happy Prince in Las Pinas (Oratorical Speech)
Time is out of joint

O’ cursed-spite

That ever I shall be born

To set it right

~Hamlet

A pleasant morning to all.

Through the many years of torment and immolation, one shall open his eyes to witness the despair and agony felt by our people, such sorrow, cruelty and excruciating pain painting the walls of our city.

As I stand in the heights of the Happy Prince, there shall be no more of illusions for the curtains of reality are now unfolded and the deception of the past is nothing but a mere figment of the mind. In this epoch that we inhabit, the highly modernized city of Las Pinas is a society governed with human judgment, broken promises of justice, superficial beauties and inequalities where some are born with a silver spoon in their mouth living a happy and comfortable life while most are striving just to have a least one meal.

Such a paradox to hear that even a person having a heart of lead had felt sadness for what he had grasped out of his sight, had made him shed to tears and that sympathy to the poor, needy and helpless cannot be provoked.

It is about time that we turned the pyramid upside-down, so the poor may as well endure the pleasure of life.

For the power to enlighten their dark days shall be possessed by the one who shall be the bearer of goodwill and that absolute happiness will be flowing in his soul.

In the fact that some people are born wealthy while some are helpless, we need change. One should make a difference! One should help another and the other one should follow. A person should dig deep upon the wideness of the world, spread drops of joy and happiness with sincerity; open his generous heart to grow and live a fruitful and systematic

Many people are financially privileged and have no problem getting the the materialistic things such as a expensive cars and big houses.

    Rich-poor, lucky-unlucky, and fair-unfair are the problems of human society at any time due to the fact of imperfections in the world. Armstrong Williams, a political commentator and an author of the book “Reawakening Virtue” emphasized that “We are not equivalent, there are certain fact that are unavoidable.” Some are born with many good opportunities to achieve success; some are born with talent, but some are born with disabilities, lack of chances to obtain achievement (Williams).…

    One foot forward, yet two steps back. The words, no, the screaming, echo off the walls in my head. Still, the faint touch of your body rips at my skin. My mind pleaded for help, for security, for shelter, but my heart insisted to stay. “We need to leave” it whispered, fearing he would hear us. “What if this is love” I called back. I ached in a silent cry for freedom. None of this was what I expected; none of this is what I wanted. Love did not equal confinement. It did not mean giving up on lifelong dreams, yet my body ached in defeat. The air was suffocating, but, nevertheless, I had to keep moving. Only God knows if I could get back up after yet another beating. Silence is not an option. These were the painful feelings that raced through…

    When we are going through hardships in life, we feel like we are in a small wreck boat fighting the currents of a nasty sea storm. We start noticing we are miles and miles away from help; we realize we are alone. We cannot see beyond the situation we are currently experiencing. We are blind by the sea storm and it seems like there is no sign of hope anywhere. But just as we fall into despair, a luminous light squeezes from the dark grayish clouds. And even though we almost had let go of the only precious thing that gave us strength, this light is giving us an opportunity to preserve hope once more. In Lisel Mueller’s poem “Hope”, Mueller claims hope is difficult to see and maintain, but it lives everywhere even in herself.…

    The hope of others could give hope to many and be a reason to live for some. Misha, an orphaned boy who has been adopted by a family, encounters a Jewish holiday, but since in the Ghetto there is so little, they are forced to make due with what they have. The father says “We ourselves will be the candle flames.”(161). This makes Misha feel happy. “…I could feel my heart getting warm…” he said on page 161. For a hopeless boy like Misha, the optimism of others gives the boy hope. Without the optimism of the people around him, Misha would be a orphan on the streets with no home, no loved ones, and no reason to live. From having nothing but the…

    I’ve always heard that it only takes one person to make a difference in this world, and that one person is going to be me. I matter in this world because, I’m a loving wife, and wonderful mother to my two children. Although I’m not a wealthy person, I can describe myself as an ambitious, generous, vivacious and very eager to learn woman. I have a few goals in life, and one was to teach my children that just because they don’t have money, it doesn’t mean they don’t have wealth. Being born in the country or the city doesn’t make people what or who they are, but how they are raised with morals and values makes the person who they become. Everyone in the world matters, not because of what they do, but by simply who they are.…
