She repeats the word recognize to show how she had to learn her parents were projecting on her and that they were people to. She used these revelations to be comfortable as herself and love herself. Then she points out how that is the way to stop intergenerational trauma.]]> 2022-01-21 17:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005486032 yesiamisa https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005526630 The central idea of this speech is that anyone can have a first hand experience with domestic violence. In her speech Jana Kramer repeatedly mentions how she was scared and was afraid to tell anyone, this supports the central idea by showing that just because people don't speak out about it, they could still be going through it.]]> 2022-01-21 17:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005526630 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005531308 The central idea is, having different view points is not unessential, its critical for forming new ideas and see the truth more clearly and in different lights; that is why its important to argue respectfully, and find the importance of persuasion and to be persuaded.The recurring element: argue, and points of view.]]> 2022-01-21 17:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005531308 2134721 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005535729 The central idea is what it really means to be a black women in Hollywood.To show that she too has once struggled with accepting her skin color and how much that affected her self image when she was younger and growing up.The recurring element is how she can relate to the girls note that she received, she would use the word ¨I¨ to show that she has once experienced that.]]> 2022-01-21 17:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005535729 2236721 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005539155 The central idea of this speech is that everyone can be a part of the improvement of America, but they have to work together and be a part of something for America to truly be the best it can be. Throughout the speech, Obama´s repetition of the word ¨we¨ tells us about the improvements that the country has already experienced when people work together, and how we can continue that to end more problems and become a better, more connected society.]]> 2022-01-21 18:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005539155 2134672 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005541179 Central Idea:
There must be no more delay to stop the advancement of a country's radical expansion
Recurring Element:
George Bush brings up throughout the speech how peace must be restored.

I like this speech because Bush is very direct and makes sure that this threat won't be taken lightly. He makes sure it is known that America will act and that Saddam Hussein should fear the USA. He makes it very assuring that peace will be brought back and that the actions that were done by Iraq will not be tolerated.]]> 2022-01-21 18:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005541179 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005542507 https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/wariniraq/robertbyrdhiraq31903.htm

the entral idea of this is that  the us has made many mistakes and should cease its arogence. one repeating element is how it talks about how the us is breaking rules over sheer arogance over and over again. this talks about how the mistakes and arogence are issues that need to be stopped as many mistakes were already made]]> 2022-01-21 18:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005542507 212395 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005545240 Transcript

The central idea is that climate change needs to be a bigger focus. Throughout the speech, her repetition of the effects of climate change on everyday people and her statistics make the issue more tangible.

He talks about his own experiences in the navy and how he was trained to complete small tasks to build up to big tasks. He uses these lessons to teach the graduates how to change the world]]> 2022-01-21 18:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005546416 212377 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005546580 Murder should never be controversial
^Central idea

I thought that it was really powerful that Bachelet brought up examples of  violence towards LGBTQ+ people throughout the course of the speech that happened recently. ]]> 2022-01-21 18:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2005546580 2125142 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2013999945 The central idea is that though our country has made progress in unifying our social divisions, we must not stop achieving change to create a better society for future generations to come. She uses the repetition of elements in nature throughout her speech, like a light as a metaphor for hope/change and hills as a metaphor for the challenges we come across. Gorman is saying that we must overcome those challenges in order to create change. ]]> 2022-01-26 16:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2013999945 3341366 https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2015009807 The central idea of this speech is to love yourself, and no matter what gender identity, skin color, or age, you are allowed to speak up for yourself. One repeating element he uses is the phrase "love yourself". As soon as you learn to block all those negative voices in your head, and not to need approval from others, you can finally gain the confidence and responsibility to share your story, and make others comfortable with sharing theirs.]]> 2022-01-27 03:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/valleyview/pzkgib2fhl4qsxs7/wish/2015009807
