    More Canadians than ever seem to prefer flying out of U. S. airports to reach their destinations. This is largely due to the cost efficiency of catching a flight from a facility such as SeaTac Airport instead of a Canadian airport. If you are driving to SeaTac to catch a flight, you probably wish to find a parking facility with affordable rates, and you’ll certainly want to be sure that your car is left in a safe place.

    Newseum Persuasive Speech

    • 1189 Words
    • 5 Pages

    If the Newseum is torn down, the first amendment will not have a place to be celebrated just for itself, so there will be no place to celebrate the first American Constitutional freedom. President Trump is pressuring Congress into passing a bill that will start a project to make room for new monuments. The project will consist of tearing down monuments that the government feels are unnecessary. The project will ruin DC and the American spirit. If the bill does pass, the Newseum should definitely not be torn down since it is a reminder of what America is, it will have horrible economic effects on the country, and tearing it down will diminish the American spirit.…

    Dodie, Amazing post, and might I add this post was very well-written. You made several great points, and I agree with you on all of them. You choose five really good causes and symptoms of students with TBIs. It’s scary to think that all you wanted to do was watch your child play a sport, and not get hurt, especially with a TBI.

    The American flag is the very definition of our country, our 50 united states, red for our valor, white is our purity, and the blue for our vigilance. It should be protected for what it stands for. It may be controversial due to the 1st Amendment and it’s freedom of speech, but I believe it gone through too much to be treated in such a way,…

    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13,14 Every day God's salvation draws nearer, which means we must be more diligent and persevering in our walk with the Him. We do not have the "luxury of time" to be consumed, preoccupied, or even fatigued in our day-to-day responsibilities that we become distracted to what God wants to accomplish in each of our lives and in His church! We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

    Oldies may say these girls are over the top, brainless, useless, irresponsible, disrespectful, or flamboyant, but these girls believe that they are the new generation… the next big thing… the “New Woman.” We’ve noticed that Flappers are actually starting to seem threatening towards those against them. Who knows, it could just be because of the new look, flappers representing a new moral order, or even the older generation still might value their olden ways. I know that if I were one of the featured flappers, that I would show off my calves like it was my job. Whatever it is they better get used to it because the Flapper fashion craze is rising up, up, up!…

    The author doesn’t comprehend why there are parents who allow their children to participate in these kinds of events. The author then proceeds to assert that she doesn’t “get Halloween, ..the celebration, ..the pumpkins” and overall the “creepy ghostly” features on houses. The adoption of repetition is to prompt the idea to the audience that the whole celebration is chaotic to her and shows the reason why she has written this article. Moreover, the comment attached was written by another parent, Ellie, conveys an opposite point of views from Warren’s. Ellie informs in a relaxed tone that she views Halloween as a “street party” as the other parents are able to “chat, ..meet now neighbours” and the “kids (are able to) get some excitement” during this event.…

    I am going to start out talking about our 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms. In today’s society you might as well bite your tongue, we have our people who believe they should be ripped away and others who say that everyone should own a gun. But what would Andrew do? Personally I believe Andrew would have wanted to keep guns, 1 reason being that he killed Charles Dickinson in a duel. These 2 relentlessly hated each other but this event had sparked after a horse derby, Dickinson stated that Jackson had lied about changing his bet on a certain horse and proceeded to call him a coward and as well told Jackson’s wife that she was a bigamist.…

    To our nation… I would like to talk to you about America’s second amendment. The second amendment states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Although I deeply respect James Madison, who originally wrote the second amendment, many people feel that this amendment should be changed. 17 people were killed on February 14, 2018.
