Wounded soldiers screaming in pain. Horrible sounds of shooting and explosions ripping across the blood red sky. War. A 3-letter word that brings back all the painful memories and deaths of brave soldiers. Where children’s peaceful playground turns to bloody chaotic battlefield. Instead of all this happening, why can't the leaders of countries fight instead of millions of soldiers?
After the World War 2, many people suffered due to their family members’ deaths in the war. The wives of dead husbands became poor widows. Children with dead fathers had a hard time living with only a mother to earn money and go to work. What do you think they had to go through? How much do you think they suffered in their life, missing their fathers? Do you think they deserved to live a hard life like that?
Over 60 million people died in World War 2. That is about 2.5% of this entire world’s population. Wow! But why did these brave soldiers have to fight? I mean, if the leaders of each countries are just going to announce the war and stay back while they send their armies of soldiers to battlefield, what is the point of even having a war? The leaders should be the ones to fight. The only ones who should fight in a war are the leaders of the countries.
Even when the United Nations won the World War II, what did it cost them? A graveyard full of millions and millions of dead soldiers. If you look at it from my view, war is just like 2 baby brothers fighting over a toy, except that these kids are both as big as T-Rex and cause massive destruction at their home as they fight. Even if one of those kids win the fight, is having the toy worth it to see his bruised brother crying and their destroyed home? And the biggest problem, how can the baby boy get away from his mother’s angry eyes? As Bertrand Russell had once said, " War does not determine who is right - only who is left." No one victories in war.
I sure hope, that instead of World War III happening, leaders of countries sort out their problem well instead of causing many bloodshed and destruction.
Jun your introduction is quite good I can tell that it will definetely be an attention grabber. I like how in a way it can be a frightening intro I really like it. Also I like how first you gave information then you went to relate it to two baby brothers fighting. This connection is very true and I'm sure many people can relate to this, so they will pay more attention to your speech. The only thing that I would say bto help your speech is to have a bit more of a conclusion because the ending is very abrupt. Altogether your speech is very well done.
ReplyDeleteJun, i think your speech is very "colourful" as in i could really imagine the scene you were creating for me, which helps grasp your audience. You used amazing metaphors as well!
ReplyDeleteYou used questions well, but all I suggest to help make your speech even better than it is now, is to check your grammar (you're missing a couple words in some sentences), and my personal opinion when reading your speech was that i would've liked you to solve your problem faster and expand! I hope I helped! Great speech!
