Experienced Speaker Part: II

Picture from: fashionforrealwomen

I have improved from my first speech by keeping my feet down while giving my speech. I was really bad about that during my first speech, but this last speech we gave I made sure to keep them down. I need to improve more on keeping calm when I am giving my speech and not talking so fast. I need to improve on making my outlines and spending more time on them to make them a little more organized. I plan on fixing my problem of talking to fast and being nervous by practicing my speech in front of my family more often. To improve on my outline I plan on taking more time going over what I put down and making sure things are where they need to be.

Experienced Speaker Part:1

I learned my speech by saying it out loud to myself while in my car, at home, or while working at the store. After I would learn the speech by myself I would have my family sit and listen to it a few times. What helped me the most it saying it out loud to myself, it gave me more confidence practicing it by myself before saying it in front of people. I have to be 100% sure I know my speech before I go say it in front of other people, if I do not know it all the way through I am more likely to mess up many times trying to figure out what to say in front of my audience.

In All My Sons Chis and Ann will go out tonight with Joe and his wife and when they try to tell Mrs. Keller I think she will become very upset and will not approve of it.  I think she will blow it way out of  proportion and tell Ann that Larry isn't dead and that he is coming back and all she has to do is wait for him.  Mrs. Keller will be furious with Chris asking him how he could do this to his brother and he needs to let Ann be so that she can wait for Larry.  Ann and Chris may meet in secret or just keep planning on getting married against his mothers wishes.

This photo helps explain Eliezer's struggle to keep his faith in god after everything that happens to everyone in the concentration camp.  Before his family and everyone is sent to the camps the book shows him having a great amount of faith in god.  He could never picture living without his faith in god. After they are taken away his faith it tested.  He wonders why if god is so great why he lets this happen to them.  He sees the selfishness, cruelty, and evil there is in everyone even himself.  He sees the world as being disgusting and thinks maybe god is disgusting or doesn't even exists.  But Eli doesn't lose all his faith he sometimes asks about good and evil and if god exists.  Just asking that shows that he still has some faith that maybe god does exists. 

Theme: Silence

One of the ways silence is represented in the novel is by the silence of the victims how all of them took the blows with out, and when Elie's father is beaten Eli watches and doesn't do anything to help his father all he does is watch in silence.  Another way silence is represented in the novel is by gods lack of response.  Eli takes this as god's lack of caring and this hurts his faith a lot in the novel. 

Theme:Inhumanity Toward Other Humans

The Nazi’s where not the only ones showing cruelty Elie saw it from himself and other prisoners and what they did to each other.  In these camps he realizes how terrible people can be to another.  In the novel it shows how cruelty spreads.  Instead of helping one another in times like this they the responded by turning against one another.  The cruelty of the Holocaust spread fro it to its victims.  This showed that in times when their life is at stake they would rather turn on someone than to die.  

Theme: The Importnace of Father-Son Bonds

In the novel Eli witnesses many sons mistreating their father's.  First with the pipel and how he abused his father, later with the after he comes to the idea about why the Rabbi's son leaves him while running, and third when they are on the train to Buchenwald when the son beats his father to death over just a little bite of food.  Eli prays to have the strength to never do this to his father.  Eli at one point says  ”My father’s presence was the only thing that stopped me from allowing myself to die. . . . I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me? I was his only support.” this shows that Elie's love for his father is great than the will to just care about himself and forget about his father.
