What can happen if a secret is kept too long?

I do not like keeping secrets for a long time. Sometimes after awhile, I will forget the secret. But most of the time I won't. Also, I don't like keeping secrets that much. Just because of the fact that I have to lie to people when they ask if I know anything about the secret. And I don't like lying to people because it isn't right to lie.

Have you ever observed greedy behavior in others?

Have I ever observed someone being greedy? Yes I have, and it was ridiculous. We'll with gas prices being so high, my dad was looking for a small truck or jeep to save on gas. We we're looking everywhere for one, then finally one day we found something similar. It was a Suzuki Samurai. So we called the owner and set up a time to go and look at it. We already knew it was in rough condition and needed repairs. We were going to buy it until we found out how much he was asking for it. All together the vehicle was worth about $500 dollars, but this guy was asking $5000 dollars for it! That is outrageous! We told the guy no deal and that he was asking too much for it. And when we left, my dad told me that was rediculous and was a good example of greed.

Some people hear voices while they are in the woods. This has been going on for hundreds even thousands of years, that they hear whispers in the woods. It could be the voice in their head or just their imagination. Others who don't hear the voices think that those who do hear it are crazy. They could hear a noise and it may sound similar to a voice. But I think it's just their imagination.

People fear lots of things. But most people fear what they do not know. They are scared to experience new things. Maybe it's because they have had bad experiences in the past and they don't want to be reminded of them.

A speech requires certain things to be effective. It must have good vocabulary and is understandable. You need to have good verbal communication to the audience. Do not speak quiet or soft, speak clearly and where people can understand you. The introduction is very important also, have a good introduction so you don't make your audience suffer of boredom. Grab their attention as soon as you start speaking. That's how I think a speech would be effective.

Restatement:
Im hungry.
I haven't eaten all day.

Repetition: 
The grass is green.
The color of the grass is green.

Parallelism: 
All for one, one for all.

Rhetorical Question:
Are you serious?
When making a speech, it is important to get your point of the speech across the audience. If you don't, it would be pointless. But it's also important to make sure the audience understands what you are trying to say. And to be effective, you need to touch the audience's feelings and emotions in your speech. Just like Martin Luther King Jr. did in his speeches.

I think the most effective technique of persuasion to me is using famous celebrities. It is very effective to me because I think that if they like the product then i should try it. And that's also how salesmen make a lot of their sales, just by using a famous celebrity to help advertise their product.

The speech in this video helps me a lot. It tells me to keep my head up no matter what happens, and that if I'm trying to do something hard in life, and don't think I can do it, it's all in my head, it's all mental. And that I can conquer anything if I just put my mind to it! This video appeals to the viewers emotions and outlook on life.

The Best Speech

The best speech I've ever heard was the time my parents gave me a speech about always doing my best at everything I do. It was the best speech to me because I will always remember when they gave it to me and I will never forget what they said. They said, don't turn out like us and not go to college, and have to struggle to pay bills, do good in school and give 110% at everything and it will all pay off in the long run.

This is an article about the Wampanoag Indians. It's a website that tells all about the Wampanoag Indians. It says that they lived in what is now Rhode Island and Massaschusetts in the early 17th century. Today, still nearly 3,000 Wampanoag Indians live there on a reserve. The Wampanoag people are hunter-gatherers, which means they hunted animals and gathered fruits and vegetables for food. This website provides a large amount of information and facts about the Wampanoag people.

Different people like to do many different things to enjoy nature. Some people like to take long walks on the beach, or go walking in the park. If you want to take a relaxing vacation to enjoy the scenery of nature, you should take a trip to the smokey mountains, or even the Grand Canyon. But if you don't want to travel far, just go in your backyard and just listen to the birds chirp.
