Hello Garth Webb,s first full graduating class of 2016 I’m Sebastian in case any of you forgot or still just didn 't know.

Four years ago, I first entered Garth Webb; it seems like it has been just was just yesterday I wheeled into the school—did you guys get taller or is just me? I have thought long and hard about my journey and what I ought to say to you guys and while writing this I realized I still hate public speaking even more so this should be interesting, thanks Mrs. McLeod. I gotta be honest and say that I was pretty nervous about giving a speech; I kept thinking: What if I was like Taylor Swift and someone came up and interrupted like Kanye did back in 2009 but instead they said “Sorry I 'm gonna let you finish but someone …show more content…

Lastly Edward Bloom, the main character of Big Fish, is an ambitious, beloved, creative, and unpredictable man. He is a man that explains his life through marvelous stories that almost seem to be impossible. Though there may be some half-truths to these stories Edward shows his passion for everything he has ever done through these imaginative stories. “That was my father 's final joke, I guess. The man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him. And in that way, he becomes immortal” (Big Fish). This quote is from the film the “Big Fish” and is being said by Will, son to the main character Edward Bloom. The quote is important because it shows how valuable life is and how we must enjoy it as we never know when it might end. I believe that us teenagers are often caught up in school rather than having fun. Edward is trying to tell to get out and explore the world and not worry about the future as it will come fast enough but make memories in the present so that you can have plenty of stories to tell when you 're older. I have tried to live a much more stress free life and enjoy the little things and leave a legacy for myself as the stories and memories as that is all I will have when my time

  • Loss Of Innocence In Big Fish By Tim Burton

    As a young child, Will be leaves all the tales his father tells him, however as he grows older and becomes aware that they are only fables, his outlook on life becomes harsher as he realizes how little he really knows about his father. Will expresses this to his father when he says, “dad, I have no idea who you are because you have never told me a single fact.” This shows how Will’s outlook on life passes from a childish rosy perspective to mature greyer view, as his father's stories become a shattered illusion and Will’s childlike innocence is lost. This characteristic is also seen within Edward’s stories. When on his way to the city, Edward comes across the beautiful, almost magical town of Spectre.

Unfortunately Buttercup did stumble a bit on the descent causing my rather splendid hat to slip gently off my head and land at the bottom a dusty rubbish bin. This rather ruined my entrance and I felt a bit unprofessional without my hat, but I 'm sure I’ll get new a new, far more feathery one after I unmask this fiend and claim my glory. As I entered the large grand station I was greeted with numerous shocked faces, some gasps, even a rather rude shriek and some points but I reassured the gob-smacked citizens with a wave of my hand. “Ladies and gentlemen, don’t panic, I know there is a crook in your midst, but the situation

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Jason Reynolds Speech

    818 Words  | 4 Pages

    Reynolds uses this story to share a personal anecdote, telling how the fish could be seen “...flipping and flopping and flapping, inflating, deflating, dying, only to be met by mortified and confused faces.” By using this alliteration, Reynolds is trying to evoke empathy from the graduates, wanting them to feel the sadness represented through his words. He uses alliteration to help his audience understand how the fish was moving, with the audience being able to imagine what it was like in that moment and how terrifying it was. By using alliteration, Reynolds demonstrates his overall message to the graduates how through the course of life, it is often easy for individuals to only think about themselves, not taking a look at others around them. Through taking a look at other’s situations and checking in on them, humans can learn to help those who are less fortunate.
