...In the novel Station, Eleven Kirsten says “the more you remember, the more you’ve lost.” (Mandel 195) The points below make this statement true. First, when someone goes through something traumatic such as the Georgia Flu, they tend to forget memories from that time. An example of this is when Kirsten said “I can’t remember the year we spent on the road, and I think that means I can’t remember the worst of it.” (Mandel 195) Kirsten is saying that she can not remember the year that she spent on the road because it was the worst part of the collapse. Since she does not remember anything from that point in her life, she is not depressed from what happened. Second, the Georgia Flu began when Kirsten was young so she would not remember as many...

...Darian Greenbaum K. Baker English 1100 13 November 2012 Left Side, Strong Side Remember the Titans is a film directed by Boaz Yakin bases in 1971 when discrimination, prejudice, and racism was still a way of life. Due to a court order, three high schools in Alexandria, Virginia were forced to integrate their students and faculty for the first time. Consequently, Coach Bill Yoast, a prominent, white member of the community and longtime head coach of the T.C. Williams High School football team, is asked to step down. Herman Boone is appointed to replace him as the school's first black faculty member and head football coach. The new coach faces many challenges; the newly integrated team is full of players (both black and white) who have little trust or respect for one another. Boone is determined, however, to put a winning team on the field. Against the odds, Boone helps his team over-come doubt and misconceptions of their coach, and each other, as they become an undefeated team eager to partake in the championship, united. Remember the Titans shows that people can put aside their individual needs and wants for the greater good of the team and the community. The film loudly conveys that building inter-racial friendships, one by one, then group by group, can transform a community. The relationship between Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell highly resembles, at first, the tension amongst whites and blacks during the 1970’s. Gerry, the white captain of the football...

...on the job. Being able to get up in front of an audience and give a speech will greatly increase your confidence. The writer of these articles is a professional teacher with 20 years experience helping people speak more effectively. In addition to the articles, you can watch carefully chosen speeches, with comments added, that will show you how to be a great speaker. Before getting into details, here are five tips to help you get going: 1. Don't try to memorize a speech. Instead, use the "key points" approach, described in detail in Lesson 2. 2. Start strong with an interesting opening. It doesn't have to be brilliant, but it has to get the audience focused on your topic. Various ways to do this will be explained in Lesson 5. 3. Don't speak too fast! This is a very common problem as nervous speakers try to finish as quickly as possible. Instead, take your time, and your audience will listen more attentively. 4. Be careful when using visual aids, including (especially!) Power Point. They can be both distracting and confusing unless they are used appropriately. (See Lessons 11 and 14 for more on this topic.) 5. Close your speech strongly with a "call to action". These five tips will get you started as a successful public speaker. You already have an advantage over other speakers. Now, let's learn how to really do a great job by moving on to Lesson 2 -...

...impact on the quality of your relationships with others. Listening is a skill which everyone can benefit from improvement. A great deal of our communication process is devoted to listening. Chapter five focuses on improving your listening skills with suggestions and principles and also identifies barriers that keep people from listening at peak efficiency. In this essay, we will go over all key points and terms that will help you become an effective listener. To become an effective listener we first need to develop certain skills that can be used in stages to guide us through the process. Effective listening involves selecting, attending to, understanding, and remembering the meaning behind the message. The goal as a public speaker is to develop and deliver a speech that audience members will listen and respond to. (62) Although it seems easy, there are barriers that can hinder a speech from being received by the listener. These barriers are referred to as listening barriers. Listening barriers are created when we fail to select, attend to, or understand a message or remember what was said. (62) There are many listening barriers that can vary depending on the individual; however, the book has narrowed them down to four: information overload, personal concerns, outside distractions, and prejudice. These barriers interfere with the communication process and make it almost impossible for the listener to understand the speech. As a listener, we must learn to block out...

...Lauren Hillstrom MW 2:30 12/17/12 Option A Final Paper: Remember “Remember” by Christina Rossetti is a sonnet written in iambic pentameter. Her poem follows the structure of an Italian sonnet, one divided into an octave and sestet. The author’s thought process is portrayed through the rhythmic divide of her poem. The octave rhyming ABBAABBA directly pleads a loved one to remember her when she is gone. Then the following sestet rhyming CDDECE creates a shift in atmosphere, where she realizes the mortality of memory and would rather her love one be happy than mourn in the misery of her death. The fourteen lines altogether portray themes of love, fear, and death. With dark and sad undertones, the words “you” and “I” are used frequently showing that the poem is a dialogue speaking directly to a loved one. Throughout the poem she uses anaphora, such as repeating ‘remember’ at the beginning of several sentences. In the first line “Remember me when I am gone away”, she is speaking to someone in a direct form asking to be remembered when she is no longer here. Thus, the idea of separation is introduced here. At this point, we cannot tell if she is embarking on a journey, leaving a relationship behind or what calls for this separation between her and the person she is speaking to. Following, in the second line, “Gone away into the silent land”, the word ‘gone’ is used as a euphemism for death by using silent land as a metaphor for heaven. This imagery of heaven reveals the separation...

...the women he once called his wife. The women may still be considered his wife, but he has no recognition of her being any part of his life when he is welcomed back home by her. This proves a point that you must not take things for granite in life because one day something like this could happen to anybody. You must make the best of your life and live a happy life with no regrets, so if this were to ever happen at least you lived your life to the fullest. Your family will have something to remember you for and even if you cannot remember these memories everybody will remember who you once were. First the old man married the love of his life and was ready to be with her forever, and remember all of the good memories that they would have together. The man faced an unexpected turn in his life, and was completely defenseless of what the outcome was going to be. He was put into the hospital and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. This disease basically erases somebody’s brain, and makes them think like a child and forget how to do everything they once could do with no problem at all. The man now unable to read acts like a child as leaves the hospital that was his temporary home for a while. When he leaves, he walks up to the house that he remembers being his at one time. He remembers certain details about his house and when he opens the door he sees his wife but cannot figure out who she really is and what she is doing greeting him back into his home.

" "The third reason is . . . " " In conclusion . . . ") E. Summaries given at the end of class. F. Reviews given at the beginning of class. III.

However, the following should be noted exactly: 1. Formulas 2. Definitions 3. Specific facts C. Use outline form and/or a numbering system. Indention helps you distinguish major from minor points. D.

Not quite sure how to do that? Read on! Objectives * Identify the main idea of short presentations. * Identify characteristics of active listening.
