This concept ties together the timelessness of rhetoric. Therefore, I don’t want history to skip over and forget my say. In order to ensure that my say is a roadstop on the unending conversation, I have to adequately prepare myself before taking the stage. As a result, learning new, in-depth, and effective ways to outline has emerged as the most valuable tool which this course provided me. I will contribute to this realm of rhetoric by perfecting my attention grabbing step, discovering more opportune quotes for discussion, and properly evaluating the audience at
It was the last inning in our all-star game, and we were losing 10 to 8. Our team had 2 outs and we couldn’t get the third. Our pitcher was doing bad, throwing all balls, while all of us in the field were tired, ready to fall asleep at any moment. There goes another walk. They score again.
Everybody must do what I say at once!" He stamped his foot and the studio shook. " Even as I stand here" he bellowed, "crippled, hobbled, sickened - I am a greater ruler than any man who ever lived! Now watch me become what I can become!" (Vonnegut 43).
The only thing left to do was to put the speech, which I had already written in my head 1000 times, down on paper. However, once I began writing,I realized that something inside of me had
I have had tough hope once, I had to move to a different state and start to get used to the new place. Moving was hard and took a long time to move everything to our new house. My new house was hard to get used to because it was different and I wasn 't used to it which made it hard to sleep and I had to leave my friends behind and I would have to find new friends. Making new friends was hard because I would be alone until I found new friends and I would have no one to talk to so I would be very quiet. Usually I would always be talking to a friend and I am only social with friends.
For the past 15 years, I was never allowed to sleep at a friend’s house. My parents were afraid that I would be kidnapped or murdered. I wouldn’t even ask my parents if I could sleepover at this friend’s house because I knew the answer would be no. As I joined soccer during freshman year, I knew there would be a Lock-In, where team bonding occurs by having sleepovers. Our Lock-In would be held in a soccer dome near Zona Rosa.
Confession time readers, It’s time to find out what makes us tick, what strategy we employed to make us one of the best. The strategy we used is an ancient, enigmous, trying one; many have tried and failed to comprehend the effectiveness of this strategy, this strategy requires patience, diligence, and faith in my in the Israeli State. This strategy often referred to as ... the do nothing strategy Hold on a second, I don’t mean I did nothing at all. I just meant that while I was relaxing in the comfort of my home, signing deals for US troops to come, ordering soldiers to patrol our borders and skies, then sitting back and watching the mayhem befalling our neighbors and Europe.
When it comes to analyzing works of various genres, I have never done it quite as much as I have done in this class. I never really did analysis like we did in Humanities 140 in any other English class I have had thus far. Albeit, I have only had one English class that was taken all the way back in 2012. So after not doing anything related to deeply analyzing works for such a long time was very refreshing. I know we analyzed many different things from architecture to drama to dancing, but I cannot say that I enjoyed every little thing that we as a class analyzed.
Overworked. That’s the closest word that I could use to describe this week. I feel like this journal is going to be about me just bickering, yet there is some stuff you might want to read about. First of all, I have been sleeping three hours this week because of upcoming midterms, quizzes, and assignments due. I am sleep deprived and mentally drained and as my second year in college I have never had my life drained out of my body like a passing shadow.
As I reflect over my life, I am inundated with memories. Memories of verbal abuse, mental abuse, and emotional abuse. Memories of not only just feeling alone but also being alone. Memories of being left on the doorsteps of the Department of Human Services along with my two younger siblings at the apex of my senior year. Memories of being voted to be on the homecoming court, memories of making the cheerleading squad.
"My peach body butter has sprung legs again! Where did you go this time? " I say to no one in particular as I look feverishly for my absolute favorite body lotion. And suddenly: "There you are, how did you get under my bed?" Talking to myself is natural and I do it all the time both at home and in public.
As I reflect on this memory I am thankful because it truly impacted my life. This experience helped me grow and look at my failures in a different light. It taught me to never give up and to continue down my path until I reach success. From that day forward I never look at setbacks as failures but rather motivation to keep going so in the end I will be
My best friend, was a gorilla, my neighbor, was a Hyena, and my house was a small hut made out of sticks and grass in the middle of a dry land. That's how people visualize me when I tell them that I am from Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a vast and beautiful nation that lies in the eastern lands of Africa. It’s the country where the descendants of the Axumite kingdom still live in. The land of the first Christian empire in Africa but to the rest of the world it's a poor and undeveloped nation because well...it's in Africa and Africa is a continent seen by the world as a place of hunger, wars between tribes, and uncivilized people living with wild animals.
The poetic-narrative autoethnography presented here explores my experience and struggle with my fear of public speaking. Public speaking is the number one fear in America that people possess, even over death, which is at number two. Jerry Seinfeld made a joke about this statistic in one of his bits when he brought up that at a funeral, people would rather be in the casket than to speak the eulogy. Halina Ablamowicz said, “…public speaking is one of the greatest fears among Americans and at the same time, it is considered as one of the most desirable and sought after skills” (98).
Drew was right. The place was immaculate. Carefully laid out yellow caution tape marked the road-like routes the various vehicles used while loading and unloading. Painted lines provided boundaries for the various crates and boxes while unloaded. The place was neat as a pin.
