Robert Gray - Speech

An example of a simile can be: “But there is also electric-blue moth with wings as large as a hand.” other than being subjective, the phrase is also a simile as comparing the wings with a human hand; a metaphor as seen in the tale can be “paradisiacal playground” the author is taking the horizon as a big wide area of beauty and holiness. Alliteration can be seen by the phrase: ‘’ hurricanes hardly happen’’. Poetic devices serve as a way of keeping the tale vivid, intriguing and

Hello everyone and welcome to my new history channel, People of History. Today we will be discussing a very important inventor, who was known for the creation of the gas mask and the traffic signal, Mr. Garrett Augustus Morgan.

For example, in stanza four, the narrator states “Just own the night, like the Fourth of July”. In this simile, the poet is creating a mental image to the reader of how beautiful and special fireworks are on the Fourth of July. This simile is telling us impress and inspire everyone by not being afraid of standing out from the crowd in comparison to the Fourth of July, America’s Independence day. In stanza seven, another effective simile is used. The narrator now shows that being able to express who you really are is “Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow.” This metaphor emphasizes that your heart is not literally going to explode, but it shows that your true self will glow. This makes us realise that we should express our true self and stand out from the crowd as being being your true self, you feel

In class we were shown a recording of the speech, “A call to men”. The first thing I noticed was the title, which made me immediately assume it was going to be a female speaker that was going to speak about feminism; or something along those lines. To see a man giving the speech grabbed my attention instantly. The man giving the speech was Tony Porter, and his audience was mostly women, who made me think, “Is this guy going to be giving a speech about feminism?” While listening to his speech I felt guilty for being quick to judge, because his speech was actually about growing up as a male, and being masculine is today’s society. While Tony Porter was giving his speech, he brought up stories that without a doubt every guy in our class could relate to that left many of us saying, “Wow”.

1. During the graduation of Wesley high school's class of 2012, Mr. David McCullough Jr's speech had an odd, but very clever way of applying what it really means to be graduating and going onto a much bigger page in each of the students lives. He argued that you are in fact not special in the ways you see yourself to be because the center of the world does not revolve around you. The definition of special is to be better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual, and quite frankly we are not that. Our minds dependence on thinking that we are special has only caused us to be less of that. If we all go around believing we're special then we can refer back to the definition, which states, "being special is different from what is usual",

Poetry is a very powerful mechanism through which writers can tell their readers something about themselves or the world around them. The language used, as well as other elements within “Traveling Through the Dark” by William Stafford and “Woodchucks” by Maxine Kumin, display the speakers’ psychology and what sort of relationships they have with the animals, as well as their deaths in their respective works. The speakers have arguably polar opposite opinions towards nature and have different reactions and emotions to their dilemmas. However, these two poems do have some similar aspects.

Robert Frost, one of America’s leading twentieth century poets, is best known for his use of rural life and nature in his poems. Following this standard are two of Frost’s works, “Design” and “Once by the Pacific.” In both of these poems, the image of nature and the use of enjambment in both poems will be seen as well as the difference in between the poems’ rhythm and structure.

The world has several great poets and numerous mind-blowing works, each with its own way of portraying its own message using symbolism to represent lessons of everyday life. Jane Flanders wrote the poem named “Cloud Painter” she shows the world from an artistic way, using a painter and his canvas to help the reader picture the true meaning behind the words and images created. Robert Frost takes on the same idea, but uses a less complex example so that it makes his work easy to understand while not revealing the actual meaning of the poem. Frost and Flanders are just two of the many poets that use nature as a way of explaining the very lessons in life. Each poet has a different way of presenting similar images but from a different perspective. Poems are short stories that have a meaning behind them without revealing them in obvious ways. Although some are confusing and may use a different style there are a few that present the same message even if they are written by a different poet. “Cloud Painter” written by Jane Flanders uses the clouds and other subjects of nature. Such as trees and the hills. to help the reader picture the true meaning behind her poem. Robert Frost's poem by the name of “Nothing Gold Can Stay” also takes the nature route to convey the point of his poems words and their Each has a unique way of creating an idea that most can relate to emotionally and physically.

In 1996, Christopher Reeve spoke at the Democratic National Convention. The goal was to convince the audience to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Reeve tried to stress how important the ADA is by using powerful words and strong meanings to sway the audience. This can be seen several ways throughout his speech, and shows how strongly he cared about the ADA and getting cures for those who need it. Christopher Reeve had strong ambitions and high goals for the future.

Elton Glaser uses similes to warn us of the long-term consequences of smoking, whereas Jane Kenyon uses them to express her opinion on closure. In the middle of the poem, Glaser uses similes to describe the burning fire at the tip of the cigarette and how it’s “Turning red as a warning
