Almost all of these school captain speeches sound the same. They start off with a quote‚ put in a couple of jokes and try terribly hard to find the balance between inspiration and comedy…. This will be no different. So what makes up a good captain speech? Basically I’ve got to get up here‚ be serious‚ but not too serious‚ funny but not over the top and caring but not too caring‚ because really if I want to impress you‚ I’ve got to figure out how to get up here‚ keep a smile on both my faces and

There are very few people who are lucky enough to be a captain of a team. I am one of those lucky few people. On April 12‚ I had an audition to try out for a Color Guard Captain position.

interesting how easily people change when they encounter something unordinary. We can see this happen to the character Captain Nye‚ whose character in chapter 35 contrast with chapter 41. A friendly and helpful companion turns into a raging maniac when ill. One would then question: did he become a monster‚ or was he perhaps unleashing the monster that’s always been inside of him?
