There once was a kid named John. He was a young and adventurous kid. One day he went into the forest. He was sort of peculiar about it. His friends told him stories that there was a witch who made kids like him disappear. He wanted to prove them wrong that there wasn’t a witch. He soon came across an old, creaky house. He went inside, trying not to make a sound. He tried to see what was inside with his flash light. As soon as he turned around, he saw something dash across the hallway. He was curious. It looked like a dog to him. He went into the room that the thing went it. The witch was standing there, waiting for him. He grabbed John and tied him to the chair. She was stirring a potion. John was trying to yell for help, but he couldn’t. He was too deep into the forest. The witch forced him to drink the potion. Then … POOF! He disappeared, and John was never to be seen again.
Listen I would answer this for you, but there are programs that <em>all</em> English teachers <em>always</em> use to make sure you didn't just steal someone else's work. If somebody writes this paragraph for you and you take it for yourself that's called <u><em>Plagiarism</em></u>. And I don't want you to get into trouble for that since it <em>is </em>something very serious.
The answer is: D: apologetic and regretful.
In Act 2, Scene 1 from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," Polonius tells Ophelia that he believes Hamlet is crazy with his love for her, and he regrets having asked her to avoid him. In that respect, Polonius has a feeling of repentance because he assumed that Hamlet was just playing with her and trying to destroy her honor.
Answer:
My hands were clamped up as I knew I was next to give my speech. I was the "social justice kid" and didn't understand why I was now being scared to speak up for what I believed. I got up on the stand, took a deep breath and began speaking.
My face felt hot from all the mistakes I was making while speaking. My hands started to fumble with the papers as I turned the page to continue my speech. My voice trembled for a second but soon turned back to confident when I noticed I was almost finished.
The audience got up and clapped for me. My shoulders relaxed knowing I didn't become that much of an embarrassment. I even had people come up to me and tell me how much of an amazing job I did.
I learned giving speeches seemed really scary at first, but with confidence, it becomes easier. I knew what I believed in and that was all that mattered. Oh, and of course, taking a deep breath made things easier!
