High School Boy Persuasive Speech

Superior Essays
“Good guys always finish last…”- the good guy. The high school, teenage boy is a delicate creature, a creature that, in a sense, cannot be tamed. Throughout history, there have been many mothers, fathers, and teachers who have thought themselves capable to conquer the beasts, yet all have failed. The high school boy is a master of deceit and is very unpredictable. In any given second, with little to no warning, his emotions can change from jovial to indignant, almost as if someone turned a switch in the boy’s brain. The boys, like dogs, seem to disregard all common sense and teaching to pursue a single goal. Though every mother and father is aware of the taint that influences their boy, there is absolutely nothing they can do to hinder him.

    Good morning/good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Aldous Huxley, the author of the futuristic dystopian novel “Brave New World” is innocent in rightfully challenging the idea of a modern utopia. He invites the reader to challenge the ideal society as his writing is a cautionary tale and a warning to people that humanity may transform from being free independent people to slaves to our own greediness and society. “Brave New World” is a disturbing, loveless world and Huxley shows this through his writing, tapping into themes such as eugenics, behavioral conditioning, the use of advanced technology to control an entire society and showing an extreme but honest version of today’s economic standards. Huxley doesn’t mean to say that people would be happier if they were all genetically modified, nor…

    I have been given 1.9 billion dollars. This money will be going towards the children who were forced into and who attended the residential schools. The most money will be going to the kids who've been sexually, physically, emotionally, and psychologically abused. The reason I give this group the most money is because, I feel that these punishments would be the most harsh on the children. There is enough evidence from the victims (the students) that have attended the schools that they were being abused.…

Maybe the word retarded has just become a normal part of our culture and therefore a normal part of our daily lives. You may have heard someone telling a story about how they did something that you considered to be really stupid and by the end of the story it only seemed fitting to respond with…”man you’re so retarded” and move on in the conversation. Maybe when you were assigned to write an essay your initial thought to yourself was “well that’s retarded”.…
