What happens if a secret is kept to long?

It depends on how big of a secret it is! In believe only 3 things can happen: 1. The secret will be forgotten, 2. It won't be a big deal later on in life, and 3. That it might ruin something or make something bad happen. Most of the time, when I think of holding secrets, I thing of relationships. This is a common one because of cheaters, and they try to hold cheating as a secret,but when the secret comes out it usually ruins relationships and probably much more.

Have you ever observed greedy behavior in others?

Yes, a lot! If you have little brother/sisters, or whatever else there is, you' ll see a lot. If you we're to give them A toy, they would fight and fight over it. Instead of sharing it with the other, one would hog   It from the other. In my mind that's being greedy/selfish.

Why do people hear voices in the woods?

I've never known anyone to hear voices in the woods, but I believe there's a reason behind everything. I believe people hear voices in the woods for two reasons. One because either someone is there with them, or two, they are really crazy. I feel that way because if I was in the woods by myself and I heard voices, I would look around to see if I see anybody. If no ones there I would begin to question myself, like did I really hear that, or was it just in my head.

Why do we fear, what we do not know?

I believe we fear what we do not know, because we are nervous of the result/answer. You begin question yourself! And think of the consequences. For example, like if you walk through a door with no light, you can't see your way through, so you don't know what's there in front of you.

What values would you defend most feircly?

Values I would defend, would be something my fellow classmates, friends, and teammates would agree with. Having no homework would be a big one because a lot of us play sports and about 70% of the time by the time we get home from practice, we would've already forgotten about our homework. Another would be for teachers to get inline because now a days teachers are starting to stretch their limits. Another thing I would defend is break, because without that we have to be in the classroom all the time.

How do you determine if a particular speech is effective?

The audience will tell you if it is effective or not. If a speech is effective, it will gain the audiences attention. If it doesn't get to the audience, then it would've been a waste of time. Most of the time an effective speech will draw an reaction from the audience.

Examples

Restatement-  we are equal, we are all one
Repetition- god loves me, he really does love me
Parallelism- they are laughing at you, not with you
Rhetorical- did you know that I'm your biggest fan!

What makes a good speech effective?

What makes a good speech effective, detail. When someone emphasizes the point that they are trying to get across. They use voice, like getting louder, almost like they are shouting to get noticed.

Bandwagon

I find bandwagon effective because usually they use a famous person. An athlete, celebrity, or someone really popular. When people see someone they wanna be like doing something it persuades them to give it a try. That's how most things get started, get around.

Motivational Video

I choose this motivational speech because it's full of emotion(pathos). I've seen this video thousands of times because I'm a video game person, and this is the intro to last years football game.

Ray Lewis Motivation Speech

What's the best speech you've ever listened to?

The best speech I've ever listened to is was the football motivation speech we always watched before our game. It was memorable because it's dealing with something I love, the game of football, and it got me and our team hype/ready for our battle with the opposing team. It had a football team and showed them working just as hard as we do, and it made us ask ourselves, why not us! It made us ask ourselves, why can't we be successful just like them, we work just as hard. That's why this speech was so memorable.

How did the native people view the pilgrims?

At first the natives thought bad about the pilgrims since a lot of their people began all of a sudden dying, but they would eventually come together to have a big dinner which was called thanksgiving. We celebrate this every year. In the end the natives and the pilgrims went to war because the natives tribe leader believed the pilgrims were having a negative affect on his tribe.
