Planet X Persuasive Speech

"Why is Planet X enormous today?" Seth questioned in confusion.
"That's not the only thing that's weird today, temperatures dropping fast even in places where it's summer," Clayton informed, "It seems Planet X has pulled Earth with its gravitational pull. If nothing is done, we will experience another ice age." Earth was at its darkest hours. In just 24 hours Earth will become a frozen wasteland.

The President of the United States, Charlie Keston, has been urged to take action. His plan was to blow up Planet X but required the consent from Charles Rolston, the owner of the artificial planet but he was currently on Planet X. "Clayton, why can't I contact the planet?" the President questioned confusingly, "It's 2070 and the communications don't

As Earth is closer to the planet, it only takes 15 minutes to travel.

To their surprise, it only took 10 minutes. "The Earth is shifting more rapidly than we expected," Clayton remarked.

Charles welcomed them, "President Keston! Welcome to Planet X! Home of the..."
"Yes, I know what this is," the President interrupted, "We have a crucial dilemma to discuss regarding your planet."

The President reported that the Earth was being pulled by Planet X out of its orbit and the planet must be abolished. "I refuse!" Charles disapproved, "If Planet X is to be demolished Earth is going with it!"

The President is has lasers aimed at Planet X and so does Charles. "President Keston, these will fire at my command and only my command!" Charles warned.

Those words ran through the President's head over and over again. He contemplated that if Charles isn't there, he can't command anything.

"Send robotic assassins to seize Charles from Planet X!" President Keston ordered.

The general organized assassins to have a Charles taken into custody. "You must execute the operation within an 1 hour, we don't have much time," the general

    A structure in resemblance of a tower sits atop ruined pavement in a desolate field, residing within a predominantly vacant country. Packed as it used to be, no longer; for, the USA, along similar lines of other world powers, crumbled under the weight of division and civil war. Nearly had the country come close to falling entirely, before a man of around forty years of age stepped in and slithered his way into power. “President”, though what the powerful man chose to entitle himself, may be the most inaccurate and offensive term he could refer himself as, for a true president cannot run a country like a dictator; in fact, “dictator” was more commonly associated with the man than his proper title was. Of this fact, everyone’s favorite “president”, Jonathan Wick, seemed to be wholly oblivious.…

    The U.S. Declaration of Independence, Contradicting or Brilliant? The U.S. Declaration of Independence is undeniably an impressive document because it talks about timeless themes, it is not hypocritical, and it concisely states the will and desires of the people. The text begins talking about the right people have to end ties and political relations with an authoritarian rule which they do not longer agree with. In my opinion, this was the best way to start the declaration because it basically synthesizes what the rest of the document will be about and why the colonists thought that what they were doing, which some considered treason, was correct and in no way a betrayal.…

    “Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.” Those words, some of the most famous in American history, were spoken by John F. Kennedy on January 20, 1961, the day of his inauguration as the 35th President of the United States of America. At that time the United States was deep into the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Kennedy’s speech mentions the ongoing economic and military competition between the two nations (“John F. Kennedy”). In his inaugural address, John F. Kennedy uses chiasmus, repetition and emotional appeal to convince the American people to move away from conflict, and focus on progress.…

    Presidential Power Dbq

    • 1175 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Many historians believe that the power of the President has decreased over time. This assumption usually results from the President’s inability to line item veto, or rejecting individual provisions of a bill. However, after much reevaluation, many other historians argue that the power of the president has increased over time because of his unique powers that he does not share with Congress. A key role model during this increase of power is Andrew Jackson, symbolizing the expandment of presidential authority due to his significant enlargement of the use of vetoes. Mandates, or official orders from the President to do something, also symbolize an independent expansion of presidential power.…

    Patrick Henry’s intricate “Liberty of Death” speech was an imperative moment in american history. Patrick Henry, inspired by the taxation and limited freedom, create a speech out of thin air. His speech is more notorious and inspirational, not simply because it was unprepared, but because it represented America’s (somewhat greedy) thirst for freedom. Just like “Liberty of Death,” the inaugural address rendered by John F. Kennedy was formed to persuade the masses about nuclear warfare in their century. While JFK’s address was created because of his duty as the president, not out of “pure patriotism.”…

    The individual level of analysis focuses on the personality, perceptions, and actions of individual participants in the political system (Mingst & Arreguin-Toft, 74). While the individual level is seen with varying degrees of importance by political scientists (183), there are times when an individual may have greater influence on the outcomes of events particularly in times of crisis or when dealing with ambiguous situations (185). The film Thirteen Days offers an excellent view into the decisions made by the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, during the 1962 incident known as the Cuban Missile Crisis and highlights the importance of a state’s leader to affect foreign policy. The Cuban Missile Crisis had the potential to lead to a thermonuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union (Haupt 2016 T5L1, 2016), however diplomatic solutions were found to avert a full fledged war.…

    Imagine a barren wasteland, incapable of supporting the growth of any form of life and overpopulated with more people than it could sustain: this is the future of the earth. But, this is not just another scene from a sci-fi film of a population that has expedited their vital resources, but the reality for the “over 7 billion people” who populate the home we call earth (Hardaway 4). A considerable amount of blame is placed on global warming which is an “increase in the temperature of the lower atmosphere“; however, global warming has not garnered enough acceptance from some political officials and skeptics due to the term’s ambiguity (“global warming”). Global warming is often confused with climate change and although these terms sound alike…
