Joshua Damron Speech 4 – Persuasive Attention Getter: Hitler! Hitler was a terrible, awful, despicable excuse for a human being. He wished to rule the world, condoned the mass murder of millions, and had the most ridiculous mustache known to man. But do you know what Hitler NEVER DID? Put his dick into one of these (Put stuffed animal onto the desk) Credibility/Thesis: The people that do have sex with these defenseless stuffed animals are called Plushers, or Plushies. They are but a small sub-set of the larger group of shithouse rat insanity called “Furries”. I have recently infiltrated this society in order to get a better understanding of their ways after seeing a particularly childhood scarring fan-fiction entailing the hilarious…and…homoerotic…misadventures of one Donald Duck. Trust me…there is only so many times you can read the words “duck rectum” in vivid context and not at least attempt to give the rest of the community the benefit of the doubt. So I pried a little furthe

This assignment was a rough one. Not because I’m slack in my ability to articulate through text but more so in the way of the difficulty of the task. To be able draw upon even a single time where someone has surprised me with the truth behind their obvious lie was daunting to say the least. So I set upon the voyage of trekking through my mind in an attempt to call upon such an instance. And…nothing stood out. Now with that being said I am surprised at myself. It does vex me that I have never come across an (at least memorable) time where the truth was hidden in an over exerted attempt to explain it. I’m not sure if that seems to show a lesser side to my trust in people, or the poor selection of the group I associate with throughout my days. Regardless, the paper needs to be done so bullshit be blessed, here goes nothing. Children. If anyone at any time was soon to lie about any random thing in the universe…it would be a child. If lying were mass genocide, children would be H

I poured spot remover on my dog…and now he’s gone. This makes me smirk… The Three Stooges in a comedy routine. That makes me grin… Watching a young boy fall into a pool makes me chuckle…however if that same boy were afflicted with Down Syndrome and as a result of that fall into the pool won a silver medal for diving at the special Olympics it would make me laugh. The fact that we as a country can elect a president with the name Barack Hussein Obama in the midst of a Middle Eastern conflict by an overwhelming majority yet still struggle with the religious woes of allowing two men to penetrate each other in private while in the union of marriage forces a gut buster to erupt from me. The grammatical structure of this and the four preceding paragraphs of this paper makes me cringe…think…then laugh because it allowed me to write this same paragraph I’m now blatantly slamming for being grammatically inept when, in actuality, I’m the grammatically inept one because it was I who wrote the

D. H. Lawrence’s The Rocking Horse Winner is a roughly macabre portrait of despair of the life of a 20th century English family. The introductory paragraph is riddled with sorrow; from the pitiful description of the mother as beautiful yet luckless, and bereft of true compassion for her children on which (along with her luckless husband) she blamed all of her misfortune and not the extremely idiotic and frivolous way she and her husband live above their means, to the ironic vision that persons outside the family would take from their forced loveliness. The family is haunted by the chanting of the ever restless and cruel house they live in. It constantly reminds them of the futility of their lives and the problems at hand with its coarse whispers of, “There must be more money!” In what would appear to be a benevolent turn from the disheartening opening lines the boy, presumably wishing to gain luck to impress and perhaps gain love from his silently disparaging mother, takes it upon

Thesis: Well this is exactly what happened to me when on a visit to an internet acquired acquaintance’s home I unexpectedly met with T. V. news superstar, and To Catch a Predator’s own, Chris Hansen…and several Florida state troopers… Preview: I’m not going to give it all away up front; I’ll break it into two parts. First: how this meeting came to be, and second: the events of said meeting. Organized Points with Relevant Support: I. So there I was, it was a normal Tuesday night. a.

One could assume that when people speak of an outside stimulus affecting or influencing the way a person reacts and becomes conditioned to their environment that the stimulus is a separate, sometimes intangible, source of persuasion. This can be and is not limited to: other contacts in the person’s life, happenings, the nature of the environment itself, and even the mental state of the being. However, it is few and far that the stimulus in question is ever referred to as absence of itself, so that the over-all result (the behavioral attunement and final mental state) of the person was achieved by the environment to bring forth a completely un-interrupted ascent into solitude. In other words, with the lack of an outside force, there is only the self that the person is accustomed too. This was the case exampled in “A New England Nun” by Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman. With an ever changing world the condition of social aptness is forever altering as well. A constant stands steadfast

Thesis: You may be saying no one except sociopathic transvestites are like sociopathic transvestites (they’re a league of their own) but I’ve come to realize that I’m far more like Lady Gaga than I had previously thought. Preview: Again I know you’re disagreeing, I can see in your eyes you’re thinking, “Josh even though you and Lady Gaga do in fact BOTH have penises I cannot imagine how you’re anymore alike?” Well we are! First off we both work under the assumption that we are God’s gift to human kind, and secondly we both find deep structural dissonance erupting from our country’s socio-political environment. Organized Points with Relative Support: I. Like Lady Gaga, I remain quite self-important and extremely egocentric in spite of a plethora of information that quite harshly shows otherwise. a. I continually refer to myself as, “The man”. i. This has continued

You Can’t Spell God without Fred Tennessee Williams’ The Night of the Iguana could be twisted, with a little imagination and liberties, to be the good Revered T. Lawrence Shannon’s search for answers from the sage mouth of his good friend Fred. The fine sage Fred, however, is unavoidably absent due to death. Even with his never being tangible, Fred’s existence is constantly referred to with the ‘wishes’ and statements of Maxine dealing with his uncanny ability to repair and mend any foul situation that has arisen. The fact that Fred is never there during the conflict where he would be the perfect mediator, and the persistent ‘fact’ stated by Maxine that he would inevitably be able to resolve said conflict perhaps alludes to the character Fred being a strong metaphor for God, or the faith there of, which also is sadly absent in the course of the play. Not necessarily a dynamic character, nor even an actual present character, Fred contains perhaps more mystery and charm than any of

Dip in mouth. Beethoven in the background. The only light comes from a dismally lit computer screen. Wonderful. Let’s raise some demons, drag some skeletons out of the closet, and raise, through the necromantic powers of remembrance, some deeply hidden memories that now only serve as ghosts to haunt my few hours of restless sleep. Depressing yet? It will only worsen. That’s the great thing about these assignments. If you go about them poorly you get a (less than intimate) view of yourself from your own shielded perspective. However, if one does dare to rise the abysmal memories of undertakings poorly worked then you can succeed in not only reigniting a passion in your own life, but opening the doors to your true self to others that only had visitor’s passes. That being only if you put time into your work. Don’t do it for the grade. Do it for yourself. This is to be short. I find myself normally exhausted from the way I usually thrust my words onto type. I suggest everyone

You know what I love? I mean absolutely LOVE?! People. I sincerely adore people. I like to watch them. In any type of scenario, it doesn’t matter. I could just sit on a bench in a department store and watch people commute about the store like ants. All scurrying about here and there; most completely oblivious that there is a single other living being within a hundred yards of them. They clash into one another, curse, throw obligatory discourteous fingers and then BOOM! As if the magnet pull of clearance items had latched them back onto their set track they’re off again. And the kicker is…they’re just as oblivious as they were before the altercation. See now this is the life. Sitting in anonymity, judging and gauging the lives of all the bugs scuttling through their equally anonymous reality. That’s the way it should be you know? If I want to be left alone I should be left alone to stare and primp atop my high horse, safe in the knowledge that I am clearly better than all of t
