Answer:
THE DAY I MADE MY FIRST PUBLIC SPEECH
I still remember vividly the day i stood in front of over 1000 students from different schools, teachers, parents to give a speech on behalf of our science club. terrified is an understatement. i was literary shaking. at first i had refused because i had phobia for crowds. but encouragement from friends and family kept me going and regardless i made up my mind to face my fears and deliver the speech. i took in all the advise i had been given, practiced in the mirror and there i was ready to take the challenge heads on. i was supposed to be third to give my speech, and when the second speaker was called, i knew i was finished. i excused myself to go for a short call haha. it was not easy but i was going to do it anyway. when my turn reached, i stood up, opened my paper and there i was, talking and giving my speech. when i finished for a moment i couldn't believe i was the one who had just given a speech. that experience changed my personality for the better. i got to learn that fear is just an imagination of something which does not even exist. since then my public speaking skills have gone a notch higher. i am good at it and i do not hesitate whenever an opportunity presents itself.
I hope it helps!!!!!!!!!
Whitman uses visual, auditory, and tactile imagery in the poem's first stanza. When he says "The ship has weather'd every rack", he conveys the feeling of exhaustion. (The ship is, of course, an allegory of America, whereas the Captain stands for President Lincoln, who was just assassinated.) "The bells I hear" is an auditory expression, which supports the people's exaltation, but also resembles the sound of death bells which mourn the Captain's death. The vessel is "grim and daring", grim because the trip had been extremely hard, but the cause was daring. "The bleeding drops of red" is a striking image of the tragedy of Lincoln's death. The blood was shed, so it was not a natural death. The Captain is "cold", which is an example of tactile imagery.
As a whole, this stanza juxtaposes two kinds of mood: the exaltation about the Captain's glorious deeds, as well as pathos and tragedy because of his death. The imagery makes the poem all the more exciting, as it lets us see, hear, and feel the speaker's state of mind - which is a fusion of personal and collective feeling toward America's journey to freedom and Lincoln's pivotal role in it.
Brown Vs Board of Education sparked debate on civil rights as described in the Constitution.
Roe Vs Wade was about women's right to abortion.
Bush Vs Gore determined who won the election in Florida and ultimately the presidential election.
In the last case, state law in Florida required recount of ballots if the totals were very close. But Gore only requested recounts in four counties. FL Supreme Court ordered a statewide recount instead. US Supreme Court stepped in and ruled that FL court's action violated the Equal Protection Clause in the Constitution by using different standards of counting in different counties. The recount was stopped and Bush won.
