San Antonio Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
Mr. Brockhouse,
I am very disappointed that you sold out to the "P/C" Winnies and voted to remove the statue at Travis park. Well lets not stop there. Why don't we remove the rest of the statues/monuments throughout the city (cause I'm sure someone out there finds them offensive and make San Antonio a dull neutral city with no history what so ever. You can start with either, Milam Park, MLK Park or the Alamo.
I realize now I wasted my vote.

    I do believe that they should be considered as more of an artifact, as the mayor mentioned in his speech. They are a part of history and I understand that it is something that we should not forget, but I say that it would be better to move them to a museum or so. It is not good to look up to someone whose views are something that we have worked hard to abolish. I do not see why there have a statue of someone who fought against their own country due to wanting to keep slavery in place. I see that the statues are also considered art and for that reason, keeping them in a museum is a more exceptional decision.…

    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. Like countless fellow Canadians, you may well appreciate the low prices, convenience, and other benefits of leaving your vehicle at an off-site SeaTac Airport parking lot, such as Aeroparking’s Park & Fly lot. Quick Access to SeaTac Airport One of the top benefits of long-term parking with Aeroparking is the quick trip…

    I, along with many, many other El Pasoans, want to do the best thing for the park, and making it a national monument would preserve it forever. It isn’t just about protecting a piece of land, but making it available for people to see and enjoy in the future with little to no changes in the environment. Senator O’Rourke was told by state officials that they didn’t have much time but the matter would be looked into. Along with the local effort, $1.5 million in private money had been donated to help with any costs associated with the cause. Distinguished historian, Douglas Brinkley, wrote an article for the New York Times praising Obama on his monument declarations, and urged him to continue before the end of his campaign.…

    Although released from the hospital a week ago, Freddie has not eaten for two days and needs to find a place for continued existence. Depressed and hungry, he searches for a rare telephone booth, that he hopes will be in working order. After a search that has taken him the majority of the day, he spies one on the corner of a Seven Eleven. Walking to the booth Freddie drops in his very last seventy-five cents and dials the digits beginning on the advertisement he had circled in the paper previously. There is a dial tone, in addition, a rather bizarre ring captures your attention when a man with English accent responds, greeting you with a most unusual choice of words.…

    Newseum Persuasive Speech

    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.…

    Robert Bonner who was a civil war re-enactor states “When you start removing the history of the city you start losing where you came from and where you’ve been” I disagree with the white supremacist’s reasons for wanting to keep the statues as a rallying point for hatred and their interpretations for what these monuments represent. I also disagree with the protesters who want these monuments removed because they feel as if these monuments are offensive to themselves and their ancestors. I do agree with keeping these monuments in their places to memorialize the events that had happened during the civil…

    After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…
