Valerie Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
Do you know Valerie?! Oh, you don’t?! Well, you see, Valerie is my owner and one of the best owners you could ever imagine! I love her so much, I would do anything for her! Well, it all started like this, you see? I was just a little pup when Valerie picked me up. I was so tiny, that she could carry me with just one hand! Can you believe that?! When I looked into her eyes it was love at first sight! She wrapped me up in a cozy light blanket and took me home. She named me Frank, after one of her favourite artist, she told me. Every day with Valerie was the best! She would take to the park and I would run after the yellow ball she would throw. The memories of our incredible days would replay at the end of the day in my head as I would sleep. …show more content…
She would drink and drink and drink until they made her act all weird. This scared me a lot! I don’t ever remember seeing Valerie like this before! Once she put me in a box and almost closed it on me. I barked and barked but she wouldn’t let me out, she just kept laughing. When Valerie wasn’t doing crazy things, she would be crying or she would stay in bed for a long time. I loved Valerie and I would never leave her side, so I always comforted her. The house became more and more messy, with strange bottles lying all over the floor. Some were broken and others weren’t, but I had to watch my paws for the broken ones or else I would get cut. Envelopes were stacked at the counter near the front door, Valerie would open them with a look of disgust and throw them away, then open a new bottle. The last day I saw Valerie was late at night, she just finished a bottle and staggered out the front door. The car started and she drove off, leaving me in the dark and dirty home all alone. When she returned, the sun was almost up. Her dress was stained with a weird and smelly stain and her hair was a huge mess. She went to bed and I snuggled in right next to her. I knew that whatever was wrong with Valerie would be okay now because I was by her

    Deanna, leggy, beautiful, and daring, came a long way from a rugged childhood and the time of liquor bottles aimed at her mother’s head. So said a Washington Post reporter in 2008, “Councilwoman Deanna Flin is a fresh face and a breath of fresh air in D.C. politics.” In the eyes of her colleagues (boozing old school boys with potty mouths and potbellies), she personified Hillary Clinton, the little engine that would, if she could, overturn the political status quo. “Too big for her britches,” said one, which struck Deanna as funny, but not in the ha-ha-ha way.…

    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.…

    In a Democratic society many take freedom for granted, while others believe that they are not given enough freedom. Dave Eggers introduces us to a society that is searching for what they believe to be “total freedom”, while Megan Boler provides readers with examples of media in democracy and how freedom is portrayed in each form. Both sources allow the audience to see that freedom does require a balance of control. A world with total freedom would instead lead to a society with many feeling violated, this is why there needs to be some level of external control exerted on citizens. What needs to be found and determined is that proper balance of freedom, and how to address this balance with citizens of each and every community.…
