    Keating Redfern Speech

    The enduring value of any speech lies in its ability to stir emotions, assure with conviction and cut to the heart of complex and controversial issues. It is the balanced sequence of structure and emotive application appropriate to its climax that directs the audience along the trajectory of ideas created by the speaker. Keating’s Redfern Speech and Anwar Sadat’s speech to the Israeli Knesset both achieve value above and beyond the time and place in which they were first delivered. The climax and textual integrity of the speech stresses the common conflict within their contexts to create a sense of urgency towards a possible future that seizes passivity and harmony. They identify the boundaries that act as the fundamental tensions to achieving…

    Today is Vimy Ridge Day in Canada to commemorate those brave individuals who fought during WWI at the Battle of Vimy Ridge. In honour of this day, I thought I'd share my experience at Vimy. Visiting Vimy may have been the most surreal experience I had on my 2014 Europe trip. Although I had visited many WWI and WWII memorial sites, Vimy Ridge was one that really resonated with me.…

    Florence Kelley Speech

    • 195 Words
    • 1 Pages

    Delivering a powerful speech is not about the immediate gratification; it is about how one leaves an imprint in the audience’s minds, causing them to take a stance in the affair. Florence Kelley, a United States social worker, demonstrates this conception in her speech before the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, when she advocates the need to ameliorate child labor laws. In doing so, she accentuates an argument that brings into account of who is in charge of reforming the harsh laws that deal with young, innocent children. This argument would allow her immediate audience-the women in attendance at the convention-to ponder how they would end child labor, if only they had the right to vote. However, Kelley was well…

    For 19 years, I have been hard at work, relentlessly training and preparing for the day that I lay it all on the line. When I was young, it was from the shower to my room.

Now, in college, I can confidently say that all my hard work has paid off and I am prepared to take on my greatest feat of all: streaking the Lawn. As a swimmer, getting there and back as quickly as possible (all while minimally clothed) has always been of the utmost importance to me.…
