What happens if a secret is kept too long? When you try to hide something for so long, people start noticing how much different you act . Also when you keep something hidden, you have to lie to cover it up . Then, your lies start falling apart and the story is told in so many different way because it is told from so many different people. It's better to just go ahead and tell everyone your secret so that they hear it from you and they know the correct story.

I observe greedy behavior everyday , in school , softball, and many other places. For example I know people who are in my class everyday that are greedy. One thing that people are mainly greedy about is food. I have people who always ask me for food and I hate telling people no, but when they have something they never want to share. Same thing goes with school work, some are good for not wanting tone help or share answers when they've actually took the time to do the work , but when they don't do it and it's time for grades to be put in, they want your answers . NO BOO BOO Sharing is caring . Haha

People that hear voices In the woods are either people that really love nature or psycho people. More than likely it's someone who loves nature because they say they can hear the trees talk as if they are telling a lonely love story , or the squirrels argue over who gets this acorn. When you understand or love something, you feel like you can connect to that, and that's the way nature lovers feel. They feel like they understand the woods and the things in the woods more than we do.

Why do people fear what they do not know? People fear what they don't know because sometimes what you imagine is worse than reality. You can sit around and think about something and make us so much worse than what it is . Also if you don't know something it can cause fear , if you KNOW you can do something it really doesn't bother you to do it again , but trying something new for the first can be scary.

Everyone has some different values that they would stand up for. The biggest thing I will stand up for in my religion. I am a Christian and no I may not be perfect but I try. It's one thing to have different point of views on something , because everyone has there own opinion and are more than welcome to feel that way. If you state your views we can sit down and have a civilized conversation about It am try to make each other understand why we feel that way. Don't disrespect my religion though because things might get not so pretty and god doesn't like ugly.

There are many different things that make a speech effective. For one you must make your reader understand the purpose whether you are informing, persuading, or entertaining. Also, a speech ,just have full emotion to it, you want to make your audience understand where your coming from. You can make your audience feel happy, sad, mad or whatever type of way you want if you use the right vocabulary and emotion. I'm sure there are more things that could make a speech very effective but these are the main ones that I think make a great speech .

I'm order for a speech to be good , you have to speak from the heart. If you can't express the way you feel as you speak and make me feel and understand what your saying then it's not a good speech. Also you must get my attention from the start , start will a sentence that will make me wonder or make me think. First of all you need to have a logical reason for this speech , second credit anybody you use in your speech . Last but not least. Show emotion, make your readers feel the emotion . That's the three most important things, do this you'll have a good speech.

Being able to persuade some people is a lot harder than what it may seem. A bandwagon is one way, and what this means is that you persuade them to do it by telling them that everyone else is doing . The most effective way for me personally is reverse psychology, because when some one tells me that I can't or won't do something, the first thing I do is prove them wrong. There are many different ways to persuade people and if you are good at it, you can convince somebody to do almost anything.

Best speech .
The speech I will always remember was my 2012 softball season. Coach Hinson took us to left field and we all listened to what he had to say. That day was the day Green Sea Floyd's softball department should have brought home a ring. I remember he used his favorite quote "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard " . As any coach would he said y'all are still my softball team, y'all deserved it, just didn't work hard enough. He told us he was proud of us and he still cared but he would care a lot more with a ring on his finger. This speech or this day may not seem important to you, but that day is a day I'll always look back on.

The three different myths we read both had many different human traits. In the short story, "When Grizzles Walked Upright" the bears walked and talked. Any smart person knows that in real life bears can not talk. In the story "The Earth On The Turtles Back" there human traits were that they could talk to the sky lady. In "The Navaho Origin legend" they turned corn into humans, and also used wind to make life.

In this article, "Mayflower Myths" they talk about the mayflower and the importance of it. This website asserts that the mayflower was use to bring their food, clothes, and themselves over to North America. They also describe about the first thanksgiving and the tradition but it's mainly about the trip over there. The history Channel are the same people that made this site or at least its the same information. The history channel is always there to inform people about something they didn't know or something they wanted to know more about.
