What can happen if a secret is kept too long

Secrets are usually kept because of something the person is not willing or wanting to admit, mainly because it is something embarrassing, something only they should know, or something that would get them in trouble. If a secret is kept too long, it can result in being either good or bad. For example, if my secret is that I am a homosexual, keeping it would be the better option. Mainly because of all the people in this area that are very homophobic and would try to hurt or even kill me if they found out. An example of a secret being kept too long being a bad thing, would be if I was depressed and suicidal. If I keep it to myself, no one can help me with my issues which can cause me to go over the edge and kill myself. If I had told someone, then maybe they could help me work out my problems and help me feel better. Personally, I think it's best if you keep your secrets. If it's something you don't want others to know about and are perfectly okay with it, then by all means keep it to yourself. If it's something that you find hard to cope with and think its best to tell a friend or family member, that's fine too.

Greedy behavior

I remember when my brother showed greedy behavior. A few months ago, he would steal money from my other brothers piggy bank. He got up really early in the mornings so he could take quarters from it without him noticing. Eventually one morning, he was caught. They fought for a long time while I just watched. I did not interfere, I just told my mom so that she could talk to them and have them work it out.

Why do people hear voices in the woods

The woods can be a scary place for many, so there could be plenty of reasons why certain people hear voices in the woods. If they are traveling alone, chances are they will become frightened and think they are hearing things, when it is just their imagination. However, what they are hearing could also be real, but could be a different sound than what they think they are hearing. For example, the wind can make sounds and noises similar to that of a whisper. Another reason is that they are paranoid from being in such a big place alone, they start hearing them when in reality there is nothing to hear at all. The imagination is very powerful, and can get the best of you if not careful.

Why we fear what we do not know

In my opinion, we fear the unknown mainly because we have little to no idea what it is or what it is capable of. The fact that it is new to us causes us to feel helpless because we are unfamiliar with whatever we are dealing with, and feel helpless against it. However, there are several types of things that can be unknown to us, such as animals, places, people and equipment. When dealing with a new species, we don't know weather or not the thing we fear means us no harm, or wants to brutally kill and prey on us. Dealing with new people is similar to this, we don't know what they are like and could be very nice or cruel and cold-blooded. When dealing with a new piece of equipment, we don't know how to properly use it and therefor we are scared we could mess up and injure ourselves or anyone around us.

What values would you defend?

There are many things I value in life, and would defend to the death to have. One of those things is the right to live freely. I believe everyone should have that right at birth and I refuse to give it up. Another thing I value is my home and family. Should they ever be threatened, I will do everything I can to make sure nothing happens.

How do you determine if a particular speech is effective?

There are several ways you can determine if a particular speech is a effective. First, you have to know what message the speaker is trying to get across. Once you know, then you can determine how well that message is displayed by use of the speakers tone, vocabulary, and length of the speech. If the speech is suppose to be serious and the speaker is speaking in a joking matter, than you know he isn't doing a good job.

Examples of rhetorical devices

Restatement- I hate pasta with a burning passion. I will not eat it, I will not consume it, I will not digest it. No part of it shall enter my body.

Repetition- Pasta is my least favorite food. I hate it more than anything, I repeat, I hate it!

Parallelism- Pasta is the worst kind of food, it is my least favorite.

Rhetorical- After reading this post, what do you think my least favorite food is?

What makes a good/effective speech?

In my opinion, there are several factors that make a good and effective speech. One of the most important factors is the tone of the person speaking, it helps to set the mood that the person is trying to set, and lets the audience knows what to feel. Another important factor is how well the speech is written, the person speaking needs something good to work with, otherwise what they say will make no sense and will not inform the audience of the message that is trying to be told. One final factor that  I feel is important is how long the speech is. Whether the speech is short or long, as long as the message gets across without any unnecessary details, there is no limit to how long or short the speech can be.

Persuasive technique

I find bribery to be the most effective persuasive technique. When you offer someone something they really want, chances are that they will do it without hesitation. Whether it be money or a certain object, offering something to someone will greatly increase your chances of getting what you want from them. With other techniques, all you can do is use verbal techniques and hope they will listen. With bribery there is a much better chance of them listening to you.

The best speech

The best speech I have ever listened to was given to me by my mom. It was about the importance of growing up and what it will be like to become an adult. The reason for this being the best speech, is because of how inspiring and life-changing it was. It gave me a lot to think about what I'm going to do with my life once high school is over, as well as the kind of person I want to be known as.
