Hoover Persuasive Speech
For eight single professional women gathered in Dallas, it is holy Wednesday — the night each week that they gather in one of their homes for the Traveling Bachelorette Party. Munching snacks and passing a bottle of wine, they cheer, cry and cackle as their spiritual leader, Trista Rehn, braves heartache, indecision and the occasional recitation of bad poetry to choose from among her 25 swains. Yet something is unsettling Leah Hudson's stomach, and it's not just the wine. "I hate that we've been sucked into the Hoover vac of reality TV," says Hudson, 30. "Do we not have anything better to do than to live vicariously through a bunch of 15-minute-fame

    Ted Jfk Persuasive Speech

    Over the years I’ve witnessed to some gifted public speakers. People like Ted Kennedy (yes I’m met him a few times) who had a power and forcefulness to his voice that painted mental imagery so strong you would swear you can see his words. John Bingham from Runner Magazine, he had jokes, but could captivate his audience through a shared passion that made strangers feel like they knew each other. Retired Chief Terry Savoie who delivered a speak at an awards banquet with the slogan “life ain’t fair…win anyway”. All three of these people had one thing in common, a message. They had the ability to deliver a message to their audience. Their vision became yours. You could see the images they described like a paint hanging in a museum, beautiful and…

    Benjamin Franklin Persuasive Speech

    I am on the side of Benjamin Franklin because we have to take matters into our own hands to break free from Great Britain. We have tried multiple times trying to break free from Britain and we can’t just think that King george will stop his ways. Just as Patrick Henry said “Give me liberty or Death” we will should fight to get our freedom even if matters go to violence. If people join the Loyalists then they are breaking the dream of our great country the United States of America. This is also breaking the dream of our great president George Washington.…

    Nielson Show Analysis

    The show’s six week duration feature multiple instances of producer enforced mayhem within the “Bachelor Mansion”, a home that the women have to share throughout their courtship. Contestants are scarcely seen on camera without a glass of champagne in hand, fueling their flirtations and feuds with their roommates. The women present themselves each evening in full gala attire as they await judgment from their potential husband in the form of a long stem red rose. Despite the show being referenced in James’ article as “sexually exploitative” and that the series was serving up “an adolescent boy’s fantasy” by the National Organization for Women, the show draws in a consistently large and predominantly female audience.…

    The Great Debaters (Persuasive Speech)

    Samantha Booke: Resolved: The Negroes should be admitted to state universities. My partner and I will prove that blocking a Negros’s admission to a state university is not only wrong, it is absurd. The Negro people are not just the color in the American fabric. They are the thread that holds that all together. Consider the legal and historical record. May 13, 1865, Sergeant Crocker, a Negro is the last soldier to die in the Civil War. In 1918 the first US soldiers decorated for bravery in France are Negroes Henry Johnson and Nedham Roberts. In 1920 the New York Times announces that the "n" in "negro" would hereafter be capitalized.…

Who here has ever been in trouble at school? Maybe you just got yelled at or had to serve a detention? If you lived in Texas, Tennessee or any of the other 19 states that allow corporal punishment in schools, you would be hit with a wooden paddle as a punishment in front of all of your peers. This happens to students of every age from primary school up until high school. It is vital that corporal punishment in schools is outlawed because it is inhumane, ineffective, teaches children violence, and teachers should not…

    Persuasive Speech

    “The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche speaks volumes toward the importance of individuality and self-expression. It shows how conformity can lead to complacency and “corrupt” our most valuable resource, our youth. School uniforms do just that. The requirement of school uniforms can cause more problems than they solve ranging from elevated stress levels to legal issues. People will always have their opinions on the benefits of school uniforms though it’s important to consider both sides of the argument as well as considering other options such as the option of a dress code. Growing up in Salina, Kansas left me with only a few educational options; of three schools, two are public. Which public school you attend is determined by where your residence is in correlation with pre determined district zones. Having never been subject to uniforms I can’t personally speak for their pros or cons, I can however give insight into the liberty and self-expression I experienced by attending a public school that implemented the use of a dress code instead of a strict uniform policy.…
