How To Write A Persuasive Speech On Nothing Gold Can Stay
My Dad, the lover, the tough guy, always loves to hang out with my brother and I. So on the trip to Hawaii, he didn’t only teach me how to boogie board and paddle board, he also taught me to appreciate the good things because they aren’t always going to be there. Like the poem of Robert Frost “Nothing Gold can stay.” That’s the kind of thing that brought me and my dad closer; he turned a paddle board/boogie board lesson into a life lesson.

    The Other Wes Moore

    My life can be closely related to the life of Wes Moore’s. Even though I did not lose my father at a young age, the admiration for my father is just as big as Wes’s. When I was a toddler, I wanted to be just like my father. I tried to do almost everything that he did. I even appreciated some of the things that he liked and did, so I could be just like him. While growing, I hit a stage where I started to think that being like my father was not such a good thing. I began thinking that I didn’t want to be like him at all, because he was a big disciplinarian. I thought that once I reached adulthood, I would be too hard on my children if I followed in his footsteps. As I continue to mature, I’ve noticed that he does this to bring out the best in me, and without him I would not be the person I am today.…

    Persuasive Speech

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…

    I would feel inspired by his words. How properly he speak throughout his speech would persuade me because he is making many valid points of what he'd like to see. It would make me see our country as a sick place because we can't treat another equally and with respect. We have to proke to violence to get our points across. Like we arent human beings who can talk, discuss the problems we see around us. He quotes many things he wants to see and hope we can come together. I would feel the compassion he's giving off my his body language and way hes talking. Yes it would have an effect on me, because we are the change he wants to see. We have to put effort to prove we can be a country that stands strong together. That all colors can use the same bathroom, ride the bus, have children play together, and etc.…

    Gotta get into college somehow

    My dad wasn't always the greatest; he lived his life with regrets, and spent more time wishing he had made better choices instead of fixing the ones he wronged. From that I learned that you live life with no regrets because at some point you wanted it, and even if the decisions made previously were not the best you can fix it. My mom tried so hard to be that typical mother who could give her kids whatever they wanted, but how can you give your kids the materialistic things they want when you're not even home to give them what they need? Your love. From this I learned don't get lost in giving others what they want, and overlooking what they need. Sometimes all you need to do is give someone the time of day to know you care, and that will be enough.…

    A Faher's Love

    A Father's Enduring Love The people that get to know us best, from our virtues to flaws, are our parents. They have the greatest influence on our lives because they are the people we see the most and have known for the longest period of time. They sacrifice many luxuries in order to give their children the best life possible. My father has had a huge impact on my life and it is because of him that I am the person I am today. A lot of people say that I am a lot like my dad, both physically and mentally. We both have the same mannerism, facial expressions, and thinking processes. We love to study and travel, eat exotic and luxurious food, spend time with family members and we both have an incredible amount of energy. From observing my dad's behavior and listening to his lectures, he has had a great influence on my life, choices and personality.…
