Speech On Good Night Kansas

Improved Essays
I am writing on behalf of the 8th Grade Class at Monticello Trails Middle School to ask you to please create a “Good Night Kansas” book. It’s not just my school and I who want this, but the whole state of Kansas want a book made for us. My class did some looking around to see what other books were in the series, and we realized that Kansas is 46 out of 50 states that don’t have a book made for them. We realize you don’t accept submissions, but we just want to show that Kansas isn’t an eccentric state, because there is more to us than people think.

When people who live outside of Kansas they think that we are just a bunch of red neck farmers, who have cows and other farm animals, but what they don’t realize is that we are really just like

    “The Horizontal World” People from the Midwest get tired of explaining that they are just like anywhere else in the country. Riding tractors to school is not one of the things Midwest people do. Everyone has a different perspective when talking about the Midwest, but if it weren't for this part of the country there would be a limited amount of food. Not only does the Midwest provide farming land, but there are different things to do that aren’t boring. Many people believe that the Midwest is just a boring place to live with nothing to do but look at farmland.…

    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…
