...Grooms Speech #1 On behalf of my wife and I, we'd like to thank you all for coming here today and sharing our special day with us. There are times when it's good to be surrounded by people who are important to you, and for us this is one of those occasions. We hope that you're enjoying it every bit as much as we are and we'd like to thank you for your kind wishes cards, presents and support. We must say we've been really impressed by the number of people that have rallied round to help us in preparation for today, if you're not mentioned by name and that's most of you, please be assured that Kate and I are very grateful. David and Maggie, thank you not only for your hospitality this evening and your kindness, but for also giving me your very beautiful daughter. I promise I'll take good care of her and of course do everything she tells me to, even if it involves golf! I must confess I did actually try it a while ago, and during one lesson with the local pro I asked him whether he had seen any improvement since my last lesson. And he said “er… yup, that's a much better haircut”. So Maggie, we have a present here for you. I also want to say thank you to my parents who put up with me for all these years, you have both been there for me when I've needed you and given me a wonderful start in life and I'm very fortunate and proud to have you as my mum and dad. I've a present for you here Mum, as a thank you. I can imagine that Neil, my best man is getting impatient to make his...

...“Revenge is a dish best served cold”. This is a quote I am sure Edgar Allen Poe has herd after reading his short story “The Cask of Amontillado”. “The Cask of Amontillado” is the story of man, Montresor, and his brutal revenge against his former friend, Fortunato, who had insulted him. Poe’s story is riddled with examples of dramatic, verbal and situational irony which highlight the brutal revenge and brings humor into the story. Dramatic irony occurs when the reader knows something that one of the characters does not. Such is the case in “The Cask of Amontillado” as the story begins with Montresor stating “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge”(510). This statement sets up dramatic irony throughout the story as the reader knows Montresor has sworn revenge on Forunato, while Fortunato believes they are still friends. This irony is evident through the whole story as Montresor pretends to be friends luring Fortunato to his cellar where he would eventually trap and kill him. The irony enhances the brutality of the murder as the reader knows throughout Montresor is planning some revenge while Fortunato believes he is going to sample his friends wine. Secondly Poe weaves verbal irony, a statement in which the meaning that a speaker employs is sharply different from the meaning that is ostensibly expressed, throughout to add humor to the story. The story is filled with verbal irony as Montresor is planning...

Thesis: Today I have the honor of giving a wedding toast to someone so exceptional to me Amelia, and her new husband Daniel. C. Preview: In order for you to really understand how far back we go I will begin with how we met back in the day, being the three best friends that anyone could ever have, and finally never having a dull moment together. II. Body A. Back in the Day 1. From attending Page Private School together starting with kindergarten we immediately hit it off- probably you stealing toys from me and me throwing a tantrum about it. 2. All the slumber parties we had just being plain silly and doing what elementary kids do together. 3. After our school closed down we were forced to part ways for three years but in high school we picked up right where we left off. B. The Three Best Friends that Anyone Could Ever Have 1. In high school we decided adding another addition to our little group would be appropriate. That’s where Kaitlyn came into the picture. 2. We all got along so great and we coined the quote from the movie “The Hangover” to describe our friendship. 3. After high school we all went our different ways but still remained as close as ever. C.

...Art Museum Critique- Denver A few weekends ago I decided that out of all of the museums and galleries I could choose to visit I really wanted to go to the Denver Art Museum. I wanted to go there because of a few different reasons. One of the reasons is that my husband and I live very close to the neighborhood so we could walk and enjoy the weather and gorgeous scenery that Denver has to offer. Another reason being that my best girlfriend, Lindsey, lives nearby and she could tag along with us for the day. Finally, the last time I had been to the DAM was back in middle school when I really didn’t appreciate what great artwork was offered there and some teenagers don’t really value the meaning of beautiful art and what the museum has to offer. There was so much to view throughout the museum that it really was hard to decide what artwork I could pick to write about. The very first piece that really caught my eye was on the 4th floor and the first piece through the doors of the exhibit. Displayed ahead was El Anatsui’s exhibition of international contemporary pieces called When I Last Wrote to You about Africa. Oasis, was one of the few “curtain-like” sculptures that I spent the most time looking at. Created in 2008, El Anatsui is a Ghanaian sculptor who is widely known for his sculptures that relate to African history and colonial experiences. From far away I feel like the artist wanted viewers to see the soft, subtle look of a woven, rippled quilt. Once I stood in front...

...a hearty welcome. LORDS Thanks to your majesty. MACBETH I will walk around and mingle with all of you, playing the humble host. My wife will stay in her royal chair, but at the appropriate time I will have her welcome you all. LADY MACBETH Say welcome to all of our friends for me, sir, for in my heart they are all welcome. The FIRST MURDERER appears at the door. MACBETH And they respond to you with their hearts as well. The table is full on both sides. I will sit here in the middle. Be free and happy. Soon we will toast around the table. (approaching the door and speaking to the MURDERER) There’s blood on your face. FIRST MURDERER Then it must be Banquo’s. MACBETH I’d rather see his blood splattered on your face than flowing through his veins. Did you finish him off? FIRST MURDERER My lord, his throat is cut. I did that to him. MACBETH You are the best of the cutthroats. But whoever did the same to Fleance must also be good. If you cut both their throats, then you are the absolute best. FIRST MURDERER Most royal sir, Fleance has escaped. MACBETH Now I’m scared again. Otherwise I would have been perfect, as solid as a piece of marble, as firm as a rock, as free as the air itself. But now I’m all tangled up with doubts and fears. But Banquo’s been taken care of? FIRST MURDERER Yes, my good lord. He’s lying dead in a ditch, with twenty deep gashes in his head, any one of which would have been enough to kill him. MACBETH...

...Rosenzweig John McKenzie English comp My Crazy kook Father A bond is something special in life; you should cherish the ones who make you who you are. Beauty is not about looks, make-up or clothes. Beauty comes from within. Showing your true colors leads people to be more appreciative towards you. We learn from our peers. My siblings are a huge part of my life; we truly love each other. My parents taught us that our family would always be there for us no matter what. My dad is the man of the house. My family jokes that he’s the thermostat that sets the temperature in the house. My dad is a great guy; I’ve learned a lot from him throughout my life. Any man can be a father figure but it takes someone special to step up to the plate and be a dad. During my early childhood, my dad raised us for most of the time. Mom worked days and he worked nights. Every day he would make us breakfast. Our typical morning started off with orange juice, pancakes, French toast, eggs, or cereal. Whatever we wanted he would make it. He’s a chef by trade and loves to make things from scratch. He took orders from us and always cooked with a smile. We were rebels growing up and we put him through hell and back. His motto is, “You’re going to do whatever you want to do, so why should I say no”. He wanted us to learn from our own mistakes. I feel lucky to have a father that gave us our freedom from such an early age. I honestly believe that learning ‘the hard way’ works best for me. We were crazy kids for...

...The best movie I ever saw was Cool Running. Cool Running is a very funny and inspiring movie. For me, there is nothing better than a funny movie that inspires you. The movie was made in Jamaica and Canada. The main point of the movie Cool Running is for the characters to make it into the Olympics. There are five main characters and their name are Darice, Sanka, Ale, Yul, and Junior. Four of the five characters are from Jamaica. The only character who is not from Jamaica but instead from USA is Ale (The coach). Coach Ale was in the Olympics in his early ages and won several metal gold. Coach Ale had an idea that Olympics sprinters have a greater advantage in bobsledding. Darice, Yul, and Junior were trying out to join the Olympics sprinting to represent their country, Jamaica. Later when the sprint start Junior is in between of Darice and Yul and the three of them are ahead from the rest of the sprinters. While half way through the race Junior trips and fall and tripped Darice and Yul. The three of them failed to join the Olympics. Darice was upset and so were the other two runners Yul and Junior. Darice found out about Ale idea and Darice seriously wanted to go to the Olympics. Darice went to his best friend, Sanka, and told him immediately about the idea but Sanka big concern was the cold. Eventually, Sanka agreed on helping Darice to find Ale and convincing him to teach them how to bobsled and to get into the Olympics. Ale wasn’t hard to find thanks to a friend of Derice...

...By Ayesha Ali Khan A toast to a new beginning Growing up in suburban Lahore, New Year’s eves used to be a quiet event. Yet excitement for the New Year was evident in the spirit of every child and adult. New Year’s Eve was the celebration of a new beginning. Something to be jubilant about. It was a time for a simple gesture of wishing health and wealth to all, and the best that life could give to all. Indeed, the New Year promised a bright future. Even today, the charm of the New Year’s Eve continues to thrill. Despite the face paced life, it offers a chance for friends and family to come together and celebrate a joyous occasion. It is a new hope harbored into an old fashioned cheer. It is here, as the clock approaches midnight that spirits are rekindled. However, standing united, facing a new beginning, my peers do stop for a moment and remember the past floating by. True, the year 2009 saw numerous challenges, many battles and much heartache. The economy painted a bleak picture. The woes of a common man mounted to new levels. Our land was in constant grip of terror. We lost many fellow countrymen as brave martyrs of terrorism. Indeed 2009 was a difficult year. It made the transition to 2010 a solemn attempt. But that’s the beauty of a New Year. A moment artificial yet so profound. It brings a new dawn. It is a chance to redeem oneself. It offers a brand new path to success. It is an opportunity to rise above and make a difference. A new year brings with it the making...

...The Similarities and Differences of Relationships in Kite Runner “The best relationship is having someone who accepts your past, supports your present, and loves you and encourages your future” -Unknown. The novel Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini showed a large amount of love, support, and challenges between the protagonist Amir and two other particular characters in the book, Hassan and Soraya. Amir is the son of a wealthy and well-known man in Kabul. He develops a close relationship with one of his servants, Hassan. Years later, Amir has the chance to help Hassan, but the actions he chose caused them to go separate paths. Soon after, Amir meets a woman named Soraya who will become his wife. They soon experience a big challenge in their marriage. Amir develops many different and unique relationships with the other characters. His relationships with Hassan and Soraya, however, show strong examples of love, support, and challenges they endure. As a boy, Amir treated Hassan with less love and support through challenges they experienced than what Hassan gave Amir. Hassan looked up to Amir and supported him with his writing. Hassan also showed continuous love toward Amir even when Amir was bitter to him. Hassan would do anything to please Amir, even if it meant putting himself in danger. “Hassan never wanted to, but if I asked, really asked, he wouldn’t deny me. Hassan never denied me anything” (Hosseini 4). On the other hand, Amir didn’t think of Hassan as fondly. Hassan...
