    Comparing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And George Orwell's Animal Farm

    King showed was collaborativeness. The reason the protests were so successful was because Dr. King had everyone collaborating with one another to get the problem solved. The pigs, who were in charge, would not collaborate or help with any of the work on the farm, but would assign work to all the other animals “under the superintendence of the pigs” (Orwell 38). The pigs were not supportive, collaborative, or helpful when it came to doing work on the farm. This put more work and stress on the other animals. Dr. King, on the other hand, was very helpful and collaborated with his people in the fight for equality. Dr. King was also “travelling constantly speaking for “justice” throughout the country.” (“Martin”). Martin Luther King Jr. had a big impact in the movement because he collaborated with everyone on issues. When everyone came together the problem at hand got solved faster. Being collaborative with one another was very beneficial and had a positive impact in the…

    Michelle Obama Speech NAACP

    In Michelle Obama’s speech “Remarks to the NAACP National Convention,” she laments that childhood obesity is a serious issue in America today, back when she was young children were always out playing and being active, nowadays children would rather sit inside and play video games then do anything else. Since most children are seldom most of the time and spend hours upon hours watching television “every extra hour of TV they watch is associated with the consumption of an additional 167 calories.” (423). Children aren’t just becoming lazier, they’re actually becoming more and more unhealthy as time goes on developing “diabetes and cancer, heart disease, asthma.” (420). In an effort to try and help fix childhood obesity Obama launched the “Let’s Move” campaign, which even features commercials on Disney Channel showing the Disney celebrities outside playing some kind of physical activity. The four main points to this campaign are; The first one consists of giving parents knowledge to give their children healthy food not fast food. The second point states that the government is attempting to replace fatty foods in schools with healthier options, regardless of how the children will feel about it. The third part of the campaign is just trying to show children that being active actually is fun, it doesn’t just have to be challenging. The final point Obamas’ campaign states is that all families no matter what their income is, wealthy or struggling, should have the ability to get fresh and healthy food without breaking the bank.…

    Black Americans Persuasive Speech

    Bottom line is that black people today are still treated unfairly in this country. White privilege is a real treatment that is never going away. The president of the United States is a racist, he has no sympathy or respect for black people. When you can say that there were some “fine people” in the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a dead giveaway on where he stands. Reparations should be allocated to black people for what their ancestors had to go through. The economic growth that came from slavery in America is evident. My image represents the struggle that black people go through for over 400 years. You can see the pain through the children’s eyes and demeanor. Today you can find similar faces of distressed black…
