Racism Persuasive Speech

As I looked up the 26 story tower, I thought to myself, how I am going to do this? As I was gazing at the towering beast, my friends started to call me over.
“Hey, you coming?” I started to walk over to my friends in line.
I was at Kings Island with a couple of guys from Cross Country. A lot of the guys have been on the Drop Tower before, but for me, this was going to be my first time. While we were walking we made a mental note; if we are going to die, at least we are going to die having fun.
“Lets see how long it takes for the ride to drop,” says Calvin.
“Okay,” we agreed. We watched as the ride went slowly up the pole like a caterpillar going up a branch.

We watched …show more content…

“Okay,” we said sarcastically to Derek.
We watched as the ride went up the pole again. Even I didn 't know if I could go it. My only motivation to go on the ride was bragging rights, and how amazing the view will be up there. As it started to fall, I realized that we were going to be falling at 60 mph. When it hit the bottom we could feel the wind hit us from the ride.

The moment has come. We felt a jerk in the ride and started to go up the pole. I gripped on the bar until my knuckles got white. As we went up the poll, I realized how much higher we were going then how it looked like on the ground. As we got higher and higher, the view of Kings Island grew more and more. Other than the fear of the ride, the atmosphere was really cool. I could see the whole scenery of Kings Island.
“Okay, let 's start the count up.” Calvin said.
“One...Three...Five...Seven.., Seven, Seven? Seven!” Calvin said
“Why is it not going do-.” Calvin got cut off by the roar of the ride as it zoomed down the pole. I felt my face as it scrunched up like a dog 's face would when it sticks its head out the window. It was a short time falling, but it was one of the scariest times.
As we hit the bottom, we all just froze. We sat in our seats and took the moment in. As we sat there, we looked at one another and just smiled and

That may have been what she told me, but what I saw at the Space Needle may prove her wrong. As everyone was walking around looking down at the porcelain model of Gatlinburg, she was shivering and jittery near the elevator and would not come to the edge for any reason. After seeing this my step-father left the comfort of a bench near the center of the platform and walked right up to me at the edge of the platform and enjoyed the view alongside me, though his scruffy goatee twitched slightly with
