independence day speech
independence Day- the day when British left the golden bird free from their rule. But the bird was left looted, harassed, with the slightest of hope to survive. Then followed a long fight for the survival of golden bird. 64 years have passed and the country is still ‘developing’. The whole world says and even we believe that we are the citizens of an independent country. But a question always keep on hovering in my mind, the answer to which I never found out. You also give it a try. Is India really free? Are we not bound by so many handcuffs of ever growing poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, crimes, men-women inequality, limited technology and the worst of all which potentiate other bounding forces too- Corruption?

    American Flag Speech

    The American flag is one of our most precious pieces of history. We wave it high in the sky to show that our freedom will never die and we will always fight for it,no matter how violent or how dangerous that journey shall be. The American flag has gone through many phases and changes. It first stared back in 1775, when the American ships in New England flew a white flag with a green pine tree and a saying - "An appeal to heaven." Along with the serpent, the 13 stars and 76 stars-our flag finally has come to a stop with 50 states.The American flag has many of the common colors we see on the British flag and the Australian flag and more, but we always wear these colors on July 4th, the day we declared independence, and we have never wondered…

    jfk speech

    In John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address, the author shifts from a powerful tone to an instructive tone by setting an example for other countries, inspiring the younger generations of Americans, and instructing his fellow Americans. Kennedy shows a powerful and tone when he says “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any for to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” Kennedy also shows a powerful tone to America’s young people when he states, “We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans- born in in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage- and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.” Kennedy then shifts his tone to instructive when he advices his citizens to “ask not what America will do for you- ask what you can do for your country.” Kennedy shifts from a powerful tone to an instructive tone in his inaugural address by setting an example for other countries, inspiring the younger generations of Americans, and by instructing his fellow Americans.…

    Declaration Of Independence Persuasive Speech

    "Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth,"-John F. Kennedy. The king of Great Britain was imposing taxes on us without our consent. He cut off all of our trades with the world, and he has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. The question is if gaining our independence is a good idea or not? I believe we should allow him to cut all connections with us because that way we can enforce our own laws and grow as a fair country where everyone votes and are all equal. Gaining our independence will take time which we will make it without Britain.…

    Men and women of West Orange, are we not citizens of a nation that preaches to be a land of freedom? Would one not assume that we would readily give independence to all members of our country considering how hard we fought to gain our own from Britain? Then why have we oppressed the black population of America for so long through the institution of slavery? Today, I am here today to convince you to join the noble fight for abolition and march together in front of our Capitol to incite change. Together, our protest will raise the attention of those who can make a change on a legislative level.…

    American Flag Speeches

    Being an American, I am a true believer that our flag should not be desecrated in anyway, especially by our own citizens. When thinking of the American flag it is more than just a flag to many Americans, it is a symbol of those who have fought for us to have the rights and freedoms we have today, represents those who have died in battle, and the pride we have in our country. When and if someone desecrates our flag I believe they should be punished.…

    Good evening gentlemen of Massachusetts. Thank you for coming. We are gathered here this evening to discuss the basic principles of the United States of America.

One of those Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson passionately preached about the importance of our natural rights- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.…
