The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely

and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

Write an outline of your speech. Provide at least three main points with examples and details.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Creating an amusing speech starts with the right topic. In order for kids to add humor, the topic needs to be a bit funny. Therefore, topics like my most embarrassing moment or anything to do with siblings will typically invoke a few laughs. And always remember, this is a speech not an essay so write like you talk.

Explanation:

example:

Why You Should Follow Rules

"We all know it is important to follow the rules. But why is it important to follow rules? Well, there are a few reasons. First of all, rules keep us safe. I mean, we all want to jump off the top of the slide and do a triple back flip with a perfect landing. But if we jump off the top of the slide, we could hit Tommy. Then Tommy would cry. You would still nail the landing but Tommy would be crying so that would be bad. Next, rules on the playground keep order. We all know that we are supposed to go up the slide in single file. While this might seem like a pointless rule, could you imagine if we didn't? We would all rush for the opening like gladiators, and we could get stuck in the opening because there wasn't enough room and we didn't wait our turn. Then, they might have to call the fire department to come get us unstuck. They might even need to use the jaws of life or cut the rails off. We wouldn't be able to slide anymore because there were no rails, and that would be bad. So, it is always important to follow the rules to keep us safe and keep order."

i cant write a speech for you BUT heres my best example if you need help just comment :3!

Why might have the author decided to include the scene with Dinitia and the swimming pool? How might this
Alik [6]

Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about "The Glass Castle".

Answer:

The author decided to include the scene with Dinitia and the pool to show how the blacks who already suffered a lot of discrimination were more tolerant of people with bad life situations. This is a defining moment in Jeannette's life, because it allows her to befriend and allows her to recognize tolerant, friendly and good behaviors.

Explanation:

The Glass Castle is a book written by Jeannette Walls, where she tells the stories of her childhood, living in a dangerous environment, with dysfunctional parents and intense family problems. In this story the author Jeannette tells how the other children refused her company at the pool because they said that she lived in the garbage (the house she lived in was very old and worn out) and that it would be a source of illness, since she had a family situation and economics so bad. Jeannette is very sad about the situation, but finds a friendship with Dinitia who says that she can use the pool with black children.

Jeannette is well received by black people who use the pool, since they understand what it is like to be discriminated against, besides, she makes a good friendship with Dinitia, which influences her childhood positively.
