    Throughout life, inspirational lessons dwell at every corner with that golden opportunity to take those lessons and inspire others. Speeches are excellent ways to teach lessons and motivate listeners since the speaker has the freedom to add emotion to their voices and also add dramatic pauses that create suspense within the crowd of onlookers. However, stories can lack that emotion the voice of a speaker gives it. So, author’s use different styles of writing such as varied sentence length for the reader to know the right pauses and imagery to create an impact on the reader’s mind. Wes Moore, the author of The Other Wes Moore, uses theses crafts of writing to make a claim in the beginning portion of chapter seven that the impermanence of life makes every moment too precious to waste.…

    My first choice would have been a movie called Freedom Writers, however, since Brittany has already discussed it I’ll discuss another movie. The movie that is the next most powerful story I know is called “The Fantasia Barrino Story: Life Is Not a Fairy Tale.” Most of you probably have seen it before, if not you probably remember Fantasia Barrino whom was the winner of American Idol: Season 3. When Fantasia Barrino was in high school she was raped, she felt so alone after the attack and thought no one would believe her so she dropped out of school. Now Fantasia was a teenage dropout who had no money, no education and no chance at a real future. At 16, Fantasia found herself in an abusive relationship that left her pregnant and lost. But she refused to give up on her dreams. This movie tells how this inspiring young single mom used her incredible voice to become an American Idol, as well as a Grammy®-nominated, platinum-selling recording artist. This movie was very emotional because when the movie got towards the middle I was crying my eyes out. This movie has made Fantasia Barrino my idol and it had a really huge impact on me because my story is similar to hers so I can relate. The author of this movie had an effect of her audience by the way the movie was interesting from beginning to the end. Another way is because this movie is very encouraging to young women and even some men too. In my narrative next week I would like to write about never giving up on your dreams.…
