...We can’t even get along.” “No, Atom, you, I made this place for you, it’s for you to mature.” said God. “I don’t understand,” said a very confused Atom. “This is all for you, everytime I send you back, every life you live, you grow and mature and understand the grand meaning behind all of this just a little more each time,” said God. “Just me?” asked Atom completely lost now, “What about everybody else?” “Atom there is no one else,” said God, “you Atom are every human being who ever existed.” “Wait, so I’m everyone who ever existed ever?” asked Atom in a sort of excited yet curious way. “Yes, now you see,” God said. “Wait, so I’m Jesus?” asked Atom. “And all of his disciples,” replied God. “I’m Hitler?” asked Atom. “And the millions he murdered,” said God. Atom said now totally astonished, “That’s deep.” God added, “You see Atom, every act of hatred and violence you committed against another you committed against yourself, and everyone act of love and kindness you also extended unto...

...Become an Organ Donor “Life is like an onion: you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep (Sandbury, n.d.).” By this time tomorrow, 12 people in America who are alive right now will be dead. Not because they were in a car wreck, Not because they were gunned down, Not because their time had come, not even because they were not in the hospital, but simply because they could not be given a life-saving transplant in time. 12 people will die because the organ transplant they need will not be possible. Money is not the issue here, nor is scarcity. Each day, there are more than enough potential donors who pass away who could meet all the needs of people on the waiting list. The problem is those potential donors die without leaving instructions that they are prepared to help someone live after them. And this is an issue on an enormous scale. Currently, nearly 60,000 Americans are waiting for a life saving organ transplant. Hundreds of thousands more would benefit from a life enhancing tissue transplant. And yet every day 12 people will die while awaiting a transplant. And every 16 minutes another name is added to the waiting list. Here is the real tragedy: It truly is so easy to fix this problem. Fortunately, there is an amazing network across the United States that links hospitals with one another and can match donors with potential patients. In addition, there is another reliable and sophisticated organizations running like the United Network for Organ Sharing which...

...their decision to donate. Thesis Statement: The need is constantly growing for organ donors and it is very simple to be an organ donor when you die. I. INTRODUCTION A. Attention material/Credibility Material: How do you feel when you have to wait for something you really, really want? What if it was something you couldn’t live without? Well, my cousin was five years old when he found out he needed a new kidney. He went on the organ waiting list right away. He was called twice during a six month span that they had a kidney available only to find out that the kidney wasn’t a good match. He had to wait again. The third time was a charm. A small adult was in an accident and his kidney was a good match. This story had a happy ending but so many do not. B. Tie to the audience: One of the people on the waiting list for an organ transplant might be someone you know. C.

I want him to see his family again and return to a normal life. Since I am bored here in the underworld I will start by telling you my version of my death at Circe’s palace. We were all in Circe’s palace. It was a beautiful place. It had murals on the walls, which were beautifully painted. There were golden objects everyone on these white, pillar stands. Everyone was having a pleasant time here, especially Odysseus. He was enjoying Circe’s company, he kept us around her island for a year. I wasn’t very happy with some other the decisions he made. I couldn’t say anything to Odysseus because I was the youngest in the ranks. I was the newbie in the crew. I would go away from the guys because I really didn’t get along with the other...

...speech is not to educate, inform or inspire … it is to make the audience smile, relax, enjoy and maybe even laugh their heads off. How do you make a speech entertaining? There are many ways to entertain an audience. You can: * tell jokes * tell funny stories * dramatize an anecdote * tell a scary story When it comes right down to it … there are probably as many ways to entertain as there are entertainers … and audiences. That said, there are some guidelines to creating an entertaining speech. * Chose an appropriate topic: You don’t want the topic to be too dense, complicated or heavy. Remember, you’re not trying to give your audience a greater understanding of anything. You’re there to help them have a good time. * Enjoy yourself: Believe it or not, it is hard for an audience to enjoy your presentation if it looks like you are not enjoying presenting it! * Keep it simple: Your presentation should be easy to follow. Don’t make it hard for your audience to keep up with you mentally … or in any other way. * Make it visceral: Use vivid word pictures. This is not the type of presentation where you can be lazy in your descriptions. Make your words pop with strong images that pop in their minds. * Say it like a roller coaster, baby! Add unexpected twists and turns to your presentation. When you surprise your audience with where your story is going, that adds to the entertainment factor.

... It solved them all—and all the same way! 2 B R 0 2 B by KURT VONNEGUT, JR. Everything was perfectly swell. There were no prisons, no slums, no insane asylums, no cripples, no poverty, no wars. All diseases were conquered. So was old age. Death, barring accidents, was an adventure for volunteers. The population of the United States was stabilized at forty-million souls. One bright morning in the Chicago Lying-in Hospital, a man named Edward K. Wehling, Jr., waited for his wife to give birth. He was the only man waiting. Not many people were born a day any more. Wehling was fifty-six, a mere stripling in a population whose average age was one hundred and twenty-nine. X-rays had revealed that his wife was going to have triplets. The children would be his first. Young Wehling was hunched in his chair, his head in his hand. He was so rumpled, so still and colorless as to be virtually invisible. His camouflage was perfect, since the waiting room had a disorderly and demoralized air, too. Chairs and ashtrays had been moved away from the walls. The floor was paved with spattered dropcloths. The room was being redecorated. It was being redecorated as a memorial to a man who had volunteered to die. A sardonic old man, about two hundred years old, sat on a stepladder, painting a mural he did not like. Back in the days when people aged visibly, his age would have been guessed at thirty-five or so. Aging had touched him that much before the cure for aging was found. The...

...United States. The first step of the immigration process is obtaining a visa, a step that was difficult for my parents. There are multiple types of visas, depending on the purpose why one wants to move to the United States, such an employment, family, refugee, immigration, and marriage visa. My father first applied here as an immigrant, and when he arrived in the United States, my mother applied for a marriage visa to join my father to start their new lives together. They both went to the United Nations office in Baghdad, Iraq, a complicated six-hour drive from Slemani, Kurdistan to proceed with the preliminary steps. When he filed for permanent residence, he had the choice to pick the three top countries he wanted to live in which he wrote; Denmark, Canada, and the United...
