Persuasive Speech

- Students should be encouraged to dye their hair bright colours that match their house colours -

Brown, black, brown, blonde, black. Uh… well, brown. (Point to my hair) BORING! We are all individuals. Why do we all have normal, non-characterised hair colours? Students should be encouraged to dye their hair bright colours that match their house colours.

Firstly, aren't you just sick and tired of how school always tells you what to do? We pay to go to school, and we are told that we must stay under school’s control like a little twittle dolls? Everyone has their own character and uniqueness. School is forcing us to turn it down for their own traditional purposes and benefits! They should allow us to do whatever we want because we afford them, and without us paying, schools won't even exist.

Secondly, majority find themselves happy when they get attention by others. This is the 21st century and yet no one has recommened to dye their hair to bright colours just like their house colours! Instead of everyone being the same, go and make yourselves full of uniqueness. You guys are all so brownish! Don't you just want to change yourself from that boring look? Don't you want to be the one to start a new style of fashion and get attention?

Thirdly, let's be environmentally friendly. By dying your hair matching your house colours, people would simply memorise your hair colour and they will figure out which house you live. So then, you can save paper as in some occasions, you have to write where you live, what your name is, etc on a poor piece of paper to submit to school or other stuff. Imagine yourself getting stabbed by a pencil! Also, obviously you know that papers are made out of trees. Thousands of trees are sacrificed everyday, and you are just helpless to those poor trees!

Students should be encouraged to dye their hair bright colours that match their house colours, and by doing this, you will be happy after all. Thank you.

Why does Sade feel guilty?

* Why does Sade feel bad about hiding the truth when they arrive in London?

Sade feels guilty about hiding the truth to others when they arrive in London because she is heavily influenced by her father. It is the way her dad taught them in the past years since she was young, so they know it is not a responsible thing to do to tell a lie. The evidence of this is when the book tells you that Sade knows her father's words. That is, 'The truth is the truth. How can I write what's untrue?'. (pg.6) Also, her thoughts/attitude towards the lie they had to carry were stated on page 12, 'Uncle Tunde was expecting them to go along with a lie! Both children turned anxiously to Papa'. (pg.12) Sade could figure out that she was doing something that is unreliable and she had to act against her beliefs, this is demonstrated in the novel when it said 'Uncle Tunde no longer hid his agitation.' (pg.12) In conclusion, Sade feels guilty for having to hide her reality as she is influenced by her father, and the personality she was naturall born with.
