According to my partner Abby, she said that she was interested in the rhetrical analysis that Dick Gregory use in the Shame. For me, I got the similar experience with the author.

In my middle school, I also met a mean irresponsibility advisor. Just because I did not get a high grades in her class, so she always suppress me in front of the whole class. I was lucky that I only study in that school for only half year, then I moved to a school which teachers leading students patiently.

I was shame not on me, but shame on those person who don’t have ability to teach students, lead students moving forward are still working on the seat as a teacher. They don’t know what they do will bring to the student, and I also feel sad for those students who don’t have chance to get a better teacher.

The next outbreak? We are not ready.

It was a speech presented by Bill Gates. At the beginning of the speech, he pushed out a barrel to make an attention getter. A good attention getter could make the audience quickly get into the topic and get the main idea aboout the speech.

At the same time, he didn’t use a lot of academic vocabularies which make the audiences easy to understand everything he said without a huge knowledge reserve.

Also, he got a clear structure and his powerpoint explained every key point detailed.

A man from the city came to visit a small farm,and he saw a farmer feeding pigs in a very strange way. The farmer would lift a pig up to a nearby apple tree, so the pig would eat the apples directly off the tree. The farmer would move the pig from one apple to another until the pig was full, and then he would start again with another pig.

The man from the city was pretty puzzled, so he watched for quiet a while, and finally said, “What a strange way to feed pigs! It’s a waste of time! You could save a whole lot of time if you just shook the apples off the tree and let the pigs eat them from the ground!” The farmer looked puzzled and replied, “What’s time to a pig?”

A young man was waiting in line at the bank.He developed a loud case of hiccups and got worse and worse. By the time he got to the teller’s window,but  he couldn’t hardly talk, so he handed the teller his check to cash.

The teller tapped numbers into the computer. In a moment she looked up and frown. “I can’t cash your check.” she said.

The man was shocked. “Why not?” he asked.

“The computer indicates you do not have sufficient funds to cover this amount.” she said. “In fact our records show that your account is overdrawn by more than $5000.00.”

“It can’t be!” cried the man. “You’ve got to be kidding!”

“You’re right. I am.” she smiled. She started counting out his cash. “You will notice that your hiccups are gone, though!”
