of it? That’s what it was like for me with these speeches from these important men. I heard all of these speeches before but never took the time to actually sit and analyze and understand everything they were saying. Not only did I read “I have a Dream” by Dr. King‚ “The Ballot or the Bullet” by Malcolm X‚ and “We shall overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson‚ but I listened to the speeches. I must say I was moved by all of them. Each had a different crowd they were giving their speech to and all were talking

I could remember when I was young‚ one day‚ my mother suddenly dragged me out to a concert that I wasn’t all that enthusiastic about. I was planning on persuading my mother otherwise‚ but the moment I stepped in and the concert started‚ I immediately fell in love. I was enchanted by the stage effects‚ the dancers‚ and the pure vocal talent of the artist. It was then that everything had started‚ and my world had changed. At that moment‚ I knew what I wanted in life. Immediately after the concert

This morning is a typical Tuesday morning as I make my daily commute to work. The blue sky is bright with sun‚ but it is a brisk New England winter morning. As I drive down the highway drinking my coffee‚ I scan through the radio stations looking for my favorite songs desperately trying to get motivated for the day ahead. Instead of finding my favorite tunes‚ I find weather bulletins galore warning of an impending storm due to hit land by Friday. From station to station the forecast varies from modest

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Shall I compare you to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: You are more lovely and more constant: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May‚ Rough winds shake the beloved buds of May And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: And summer is far too short: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines‚ At times the sun is too hot‚ And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; Or often goes behind the clouds; And every fair from fair sometime

A Time I Was Gritty When i think of third grade I think about how little‚ naive‚ and weak I was. When I think of bullying I think of all the children who were like me‚ did not have a voice. To this day I still hate thinking‚ hearing‚ and talking about third grade. To this day I hate thinking‚ hearing‚ and talking about bullying. I get greatly emotional when I hear people talk about how great their third grade experience was for them and hearing people talk about their bullied stories. I get extremely

If I was stuck at one age it would be 5. Just like Peter Pan‚ not wanting to grow up. He didn’t want to and neither do I. The little things you have to do would be awesome. That’s why i’d choose 5. The reason I would like to be stuck at the age of five is because you have no responsibilities yet. You don’t have to take out the trash or feed the dogs. You wouldn’t have to help around th house. Plus for birthdays‚ christmas and other holidays you still get more presents. All I would have to do

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May‚ And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines‚ And often is his gold complexion dimmed‚ And every fair from fair sometime declines‚ By chance‚ or nature’s changing course untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade‚ Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st‚ Nor shall death brag thou wander’st

Luther King Jr was one of the most influential leaders in the world to this day. He gave African Americans a bigger voice and helped Caucasian Americans see what was happening in America and show how the segregation between white and colored people was wrong. He was able to gain support and give people hope that there was something better than what they had in that time period. This was one of the times he was a good leader.

I was a child‚ an innocent boy who accepted the fact that Santa was greedy‚ and was not going to leave one single cookie‚ not one. Along with that innocent realization‚ came the understanding that hospital visits were not uncommon‚ but in fact‚ a regular occurrence. As a child‚ the hospital environment seemed so artificial to me. Machines‚ wires and tubes stationed at every corner‚ made me think then‚ that no person should have to succumb to such a synthetic life. Especially if that person was my
