freshness
that roses are fragile

a red, red rose

o my luve's like a red, red rose,
that's newly sprung in june:
o my luve's like the melodie,
that's sweetly play'd in tune.
as fair art thou, my bonie lass,
so deep in luve am i;
and i will luve thee still, my dear,
till a' the seas gang dry.
till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
and the rocks melt wi' the sun;
and i will luve thee still, my dear,
while the sands o' life shall run.
and fare-thee-weel, my only luve!
and fare-thee-weel, a while!
and i will come again, my luve,
tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!

  plan: i will begin with a quotation about the importance of unity in a community. then, i will state my claim that an activity will unite our school by creating a shared vision, purpose, and direction. in the body, i will use three main points that describe the different avenues the students can take: through a variety of clubs, through a special event, or through an awareness week. i will provide evidence about other towns that have unity activities and the kinds of events that they include. pictures will illustrate my three main points in action. for the ending, i will restate the main idea in a new way and pose a question to keep the audience thinking.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
