raHe searched everywhere for those shoes, those perfect tan ones with that fabric flower that fit him just right. The closet, underneath his bed, in the pile of clean clothes he meant to fold a week ago. They were nowhere to be found, completely gone from the face of the Earth, leaving Cal Hampton barefooted and discouraged. It was only eight in the morning and his room was more of a mess than it usually was, plus, worst of all, he didn 't have a single pair of shoes that matched the floral skirt settled upon his waist. He bought it just for that damn pair, those adorable, dainty tan shoes, and now, the thing was useless.

David Foster Wallace was an American Writer and an instructor at Illinois State University of English and creative writing. Wallace became the 2005 commencement speaker at Kenyon College in which he gave one of the best commencement speeches ever given. After his death three years later, the speech was printed in the Wall Street Journal and republished as a book.

Such opinions were things that I had never thought about nor paid the littlest attention to, but after reading his speech I became fascinated.

My aunt had visited her daily, but I hadn’t had time to visit since I was struggling to teach all of the necessary material before the school year was over. Unfortunately, I heard news that she had passed away earlier this morning from some of my students. The funeral for her was next Sunday and they needed donations to pay for it.

For a brief moment, miles away from the eyes of god, time itself stood still. And the singing birds went silent in their canopies, and the gentle licks of a passing breeze abated, as if the entire world, save Gatsby, knew. Knew that, like an old timepiece, the gears within the depths of George Wilson’s being had long since begun to fragment, and with the urgency of newfound knowledge, he had only one thought on his mind. Certainly, as he glided towards Gatsby’s mansion—and ultimately, into the foliage that surrounded it— Wilson’s breathing was neither slow nor rapid, nor shallow nor heavy, but rather, it fluctuated with an unrelenting attitude, and trapped between immense grief and rage, he carried himself dangerously with each step.
Hi I’m Vance Monroe. My buddies call me Keys. Currently I’m running through the streets of downtown london getting chased by the police and the man who’s watch and keys I stole today. People might be wondering why a young boy like me at the age of ten is running the streets of 1861 London pickpocketing. Well then I would have to take them back to that day I was informed with an unfortunate event.
As I was getting ready for school, I told myself, "I 'm so excited to finally go to school! I can 't wait to get there! I bet it 's going to be the best thing ever!" Once I finally arrive to school, I realize what it is actually like. My teacher, Miss Fisher, doesn 't seem to like that I already know how to read.
I had narrowly escaped the fighting. It didn’t take long for me to find my way taking cover behind a large thicket of trees. Quietly I’d run along the wood, following a long forgotten trail. If I kept going it would lead me to the woods. Ditching was punishable by death in the Imperial Army.
his comeback, I was dispatched to George Cherry’s boxing club to watch him work out. After he had finished and showered, we adjourned to a neighbourhood greasy spoon for an amiable, two-hour chat. As we were about to leave, Lafleur asked about an old friend: “So how is Red Fisher?” “Red is Red,” I said, the only accurate description of the man I could ever manage.
I. Introduction Paragraph A. David Foster Wallace gave a commencement speech that taught lessons about having the ability to choose how to think in situations and to be flexible in their opinions. David Foster Wallace persuades the audience to be open-minded and selfless through rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos. Wallace wants the audience to realize that it is best to deviate from one’s own thoughts and think of others; if one cannot exercise this, then adult life will be difficult.
