Bela Fleck Bonehead Speech

162 Words1 Pages
I picked this speech because I can similarly be a “bonehead” Likewise, I believe I do have the same passion for hockey that Bela Fleck has for music. I can relate to the passion he has for successful completing something, giving it all you have or just down right mastering whatever the task or activity might be. As this musician hears music that inspires him his belief was that he would learn more staying up late understanding the notes, chords and his instrument himself rather than time spent with an instructor. In addition, time spent practicing whether it be alone or with someone is never time wasted. I connected with this ideology being that, I have attended two hockey training camps and do believe I have learned more from being alone

In “The Man with the Muck-Rake” speech, Roosevelt elucidate the term muckrake; which mainly describes journalist who sought out to expose the evils and injustices of the Gilded Age before they destroy democracy. I believe, the purpose of this speech was to end the dishonest political attacks from journalists and guiding the public perspective toward honesty, sanity, and self-restraint. During this era, numerous reforms were taking place, for example, the new sanction laws in the meat industry (Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act) was created after the famous novel “The Jungle” portrayed about the filthy condition in Chicago’s meat packaging district and led to the passage of the Meat Inspection Act of 1906. Roosevelt has a lot

Thousands of women have screamed at the top of their lungs, clawed at the patriarchy, and tirelessly fought for their rights as citizens of the United States of America. From the beginning of mankind, women have been labeled as inferior to men not only physically, but mentally and intellectually as well. Only in 1920 did women gain the right to voice their opinions in government elections while wealthy white men received the expected right since the creation of the United States. A pioneer in women’s suffrage, Susan B. Anthony publicly spoke out against this hypocrisy in a time when women were only seen as child bearers and household keepers. Using the United State’s very own Constitution and Declaration as ammunition, Anthony wrote countless

Prolific for its apocalyptic portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln’s election, Senator Robert Toombs’ speech to the Georgia state legislature reveals how Southerners were concerned about the longevity of their lifestyle. Utilizing passionate rhetoric, The South Must Strike while There Is Yet Time illustrates how the future of the Union has become unpredictable and warrants action from legislators. An address of vigorous pathos, Toombs details how the security of Southern values remains paramount to the decision of secession. Moreover, the discourse over secession often features slavery and emphasizes its role in Southern identity, deeming it essential to the preservation of their way of life. The perception of Lincoln as a radical abolitionist

To take another term often used to describe a home run, but this more often used to describe those home runs that maybe going over the fence but the announcer isn’t too sure if it will. This is where the possible inductees on my “ballot” that are on the fringe landed. For years questions have raged on why Mike Piazza isn’t in the Hall of Fame yet, and some even sunk low enough to think it was sabotage. I think Mike just had a cloud over his career due to his cohorts that has been lifted after years of coming so close to making into the Hall of Fame. I believe that 2016 will be the year that one of if the greatest catcher of all time punches his ticket to Cooperstown.
