Vertigo Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
They called it the Magic City, the Gateway to Latin America or the Cocaine Capital but to me it is the city of opposites.
From the Downtown's skyscrapers' vertigo to be insecure in Overtown or Little Haiti, from being treated like a royalty in its exquisite restaurants to food truck weddings, from brilliant pastel Art Deco buildings to powerful red, blue or black grafitti walls, Miami transforms everything and everybody in matter of seconds. There is a piece of the city for everyone: the sports lover has Miami Heat and Miami Dolphins, the book lover has the Annual Food and Wine Festival or the Miami Spice Festival, the business person has the financial Brickell district, the traveler - the beaches, the water and the National Parks, the contemporary

    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

    • 1189 Words
    • 5 Pages

    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.…

    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13,14 Every day God's salvation draws nearer, which means we must be more diligent and persevering in our walk with the Him. We do not have the "luxury of time" to be consumed, preoccupied, or even fatigued in our day-to-day responsibilities that we become distracted to what God wants to accomplish in each of our lives and in His church! We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

    Fear appeal is an emotional strategy that creates fear in the audience to motivate them to agree with the rhetor and take action. A fear appeal draws on basic needs that the audience cares for, and presents it as something at risk that can be solved with the rhetor’s idea and direct action. The appeal is an attempt to scare the audience that something bad will happen to their needs if they don’t create change. A fear appeal used on the subject of binge drinking can show that a person could die from alcohol poisoning.…

    Mestizo Persuasive Speech

    • 533 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The word mestizo is popularly known as a man of mixed race, who is often the offspring of a Spaniard and an American Indian. This simple word brings two unique cultures, two different races, and two different set of values, and merges them together to create a unique and culturally diverse person. Many have heard the word, many have used the word, but did we ever stopped to think about the real social value and controversy this word carries in its meaning? The history of mestizos and mestizaje should serve as a role model of how merging cultures can have a great and positive impact in the world, but it should also be a lesson on the struggles of being portrayed or expected to act as a certain nationality, race, or even a stereotype, especially…

    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.…
