David McCullough, in his Wellesley High School Commencement Address, utilizes imagery to convey to his audience that each individual possesses the same common potential. While addressing the graduating class of 2012, McCullough makes a point to emphasize how unexceptional the students are. By bringing to light the fact that the students are all wearing the same “ceremonial costume…shapeless, uniform, one-size-fits-all” (McCullough 1), he illustrates the conformity of the crowd. By depicting the cap and gown, McCullough demonstrates that each student at the ceremony are at the same level.

To My Honorable Congressman, Right now, in Congress, they are preparing to vote on the Resolution to end Reconstruction. The Resolution states that if the states in rebellion have successfully fulfilled the requirements of the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 and 1868, have in good faith implement policies and regulations in accordance with the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and willingly allow the Federal Government to restructure southern politics, society, and the economy, then the Federal Government will remove federal troops from southern states and give them the reins to control Reconstruction to individual states. I advise you to vote to not end Reconstruction because these claims will enrage the Southern Democrats and Southern states.

Beneficial characteristics, like integrity and humility, are not prevalent within the graduation ceremony. Instead, Talbot, uses Kennedy’s observation to discreetly give the impression that the competition for valedictorian has unfavorable consequences. Lastly, Talbot takes advantage of her first hand testimonies of all viewpoints of the competition in order to create an impartial tone. In addition to the statements by the principal and the valedictorian, Talbot addresses the point of view from the students who had their title stolen from them. According to Stephanie Klotz, a home-schooled student, she had her title taken away and it was “seriously uncool” (227).
Declaration of Independence for the Dress Code When issues become prevalent in one place or area, it becomes mandatory for people to disband their scholastic bonds that have affiliated them with one another. To presume along with the powers of this educational institution, there must be some influence from the opinions of humanity that requires the people to declare the reasons that do not obligate them to the dress-code law. Students at Fort Worth Country Day School are gifted with innovative and expressive minds, and convey their individuality with their style. Clothing is an essential way of expressing one’s self, but a school dress code takes away the student’s ability to do so. We the students at Fort Worth Country Day School have suffered as a result of not being permitted to express ourselves, and are declaring independence from the School Dress Code Law.

The morning of my first day, I was terrified, but also profoundly excited. My mother had beamed about Miami High’s immense school spirit. She had been an alumni herself. I already had a club I wanted to join in mind, even before I saw the list: Honoria. She had been part of Honoria for all four years of her high school experience in the 1980’s and told me about it.
