The StoryCorps’ 476th podcast episode titled “Mrs. Yetta Bronstein for President”, is about pranking the media and causing a bit on mayhem in an otherwise often very serious business. Jeanne and Alan Abel are the prankster masterminds behind the 1964 and 1968 presidential campaign of Yetta Bronstein, the fictional write-in candidate for “The Best Party”. The ruse was set up to prank and mislead the media with Jeanne voicing the single New York mother who stood for values such as putting guns in every household but decreasing the bullet velocity by 95% and taking Congress of salary to put them on strict commission. The way the interview and story is told helps solidify the impression that Jeanne and Alan made pranking the media and embarrassing

In the book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell uses the persuasive techniques such as figurative language, rhetorical questions, and analogies to persuade readers that the American view of success is wrong, and that success is the product of opportunities, hidden advantages, and hard work. In Chapter Two, these techniques are used to describe his idea of “The 10,000-Hour Rule” - that belief it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. Gladwell’s basis for the 10,000-hour rule is that people who are experts in their field became so good from hidden and rare opportunities that allowed them to practice their skills. One example gladwell uses are The Beatles, whom Gladwell identifies as one of the most famous rock bands ever.

The editorial uses short, blunt rhetorical questions such as ‘how?’ , ‘why?’

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 2018 Festival of Dangerous Ideas. I am here today to examine whether the greatest threat to civilisation is humanity itself?

While Lord of the Flies was first published in 1954 by William Golding as a response to the rise of Nazism and after the horrors of human evil witnessed during World War II, it still speaks directly to our world today in 2018 where nations and world leaders such as Xi Jinping, Kim Jon Un and Vladimir Putin continue to fight for world domination because of their greed for power.

Good evening. Citizens of this breathtaking country and beyond. During the past 57 days, the Germans have had the audacity to turn 60% of our city: London, England to ruins.

During this time we will stand against their fascist ideas and not react to their terrorism.

Social promotion is the practice of passing students along from grade to grade with their peers even if the students have not satisfied academic requirements or met performance standards at key grades. Many people think that this wrong but I disagree with that because many kids that held back either drop out of school, are being bullyed and even have insecurity problems.

Once kids drop out of school they have basicly gave have half of there life up cause education is the key to success and kids dropping out is not a good at all.
