I knew in an instant that the neighbors didn’t want us there. “This is our new home” said my father. With eyes wide opened I sarcastically replied, “Great…” Things were great for a while until my neighbors started to make mine and my family’s life hell. Never in my life did I ever experience racism until I moved there. Before moving there…
days since the great fall. Six hundred and twenty seven since Liam Ognyer took power. No one could forget that day. I came home from school like usual and my mom ordered my sister and I to pack our bags as quick as possible. She tore out of the driveway and drove off.

The speech “A More Perfect Union” is about how Obama says we should do unto others as we would want unto us. The speech explains that he finds the world to be against each other in way, because we all do not work together. He explains that if one person was to pull the race card, then it would be hard for us to change anything. I agree with Barack Obama’s, because he uses logos, pathos, and kairos to get all of his best points a crossed. How he uses kairos He uses kairos in his paper quite…
