Inaugural Poem
The message of the poem is hope for a better tomorrow and a united nation. The 2020 election was quite contentious and divisive, and Amanda’s poem presented hope for a unified country in the future. An example of this is the poem’s first sentence, where the poet speaks of finding light in the endless shade. The shade represents the challenges the country has experienced and light a better future. Another example of figurative language is “We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms.” The sentence refers to the act of setting aside differences that separate us so that we can work together as a country. The third example is “The new dawn balloons,” which means that the hope of a new day grows more prominent.
Amanda’s delivery of the poem is impeccable. She uses tonal variation, facial expressions, and hand gestures to emphasize her delivery. She changes her tone throughout the poem, lowering it when talking about challenges the country has faced and raising it when speaking of hope and triumph. She also uses her hands to articulate her message, for example, to indicate the movement of the sea. She gives the audience the idea that she is a self-assured individual from her confident and strong voice to her eye contact with the audience.
After watching Amanda deliver the inaugural poem, she is an effective speaker. She has mastered the art of engaging her audience with her confidence. Listening to her, one is convinced that she knows what she is talking about. She also speaks slowly and clearly, so everyone can hear her words. She is neither too loud nor too soft; her tone of voice is perfect for the message she intends to deliver. When delivering her poem, she uses her whole body to express herself, such as facial expressions, hand gestures, and body movements.

DateFirst Invasion War
First Invasion: The War of 1812 is a documentary by History Channel that describes the American War that took place in 1812. This was a fight between Americans and the British and this was the first time they were fighting since the American Revolutionary War. The war emerged because of the sanctions that had been placed by the British and the French on the US as a consequence of the Napoleonic wars. The British council took measures in 1806 crippling American trade resulting in President Madison declaring war on Britain in 1812. The documentary includes comments by historians including the causes of the conflict, the American designs on Canada, the battle that took place in New Orleans, burning down of Washington DC and the narrator is Edward Herrmann.
The documentary describes monumental American achievement considering many had doubted the move by the president most terming it disastrous as they were going to attack a powerful nation. This period in history was heavily neglected but the documentary gives precise occurrences. The comments by historians gives the documentary authenticity as these are individuals well versed with what has been happening in history including the causes of the war. The documentary also uses images that have been documented about the war giving the film authenticity. The part that stood out for me was the battle in Washington as members of government fled the city. The burning of the buildings including the White House was proof that British wanted to go full force on this war. There was death of soldiers but it is this war that fueled Americans into continuing the war to prove although it was a young nation. I was also intrigued by Dolly Madison the first lady who tried securing everything before the White House was burned including the painting of George Washington portrait. Generally, the documentary is able to give accounts of the happenings in history in an authentic manner although it seems to be more pro-American.
Effects Of Child Abuse
Effects Of Child Abuse
Introduction
Child abuse happens when a parent or another adult causes emotional or physical harm to a child. Child abuse is generally in three forms; physicalabuse, sexualabuse, neglect and abandonment and psychological or emotional abuse. When it comes to emotional abuse, physical abuse and neglect boys are more at risk compared to girls. On the other hand girls are more prone to sexual abuse compared to boys. Child abuse usually comes from all levels of the society though most reported cases of child abuse are from families where there is lack of education, poverty, social isolation, high mobility and unemployment. Child abuse can occur at any age of a child’s life meaning that there is no age than a child is more vulnerable to child abuse. In serious cases child abuse can lead to death; survivors end up with emotional scars which usually linger on even after the physical bruises from the abuse have healed. The effects of child abuse are usually carried over to a child’s adult life.
Inability to form healthy relationships in early adult life
Children who have been abused have a low-esteem, think of committingsuicide, are often depressed and they tend to develop other mental healthproblems. They also have problems when it comes to building and maintaining strong relationship in the Corse of their lives. An individual that has been abused in their childhood often continues to find it difficult to form strong emotional bonds and relationships even many years after the abuse has ended. The development of strong and healthy relationships may be difficult for adults who survived child abuse as they might be remind of abusive parent even if it is only implicitly. This is because the impact of child abuse remains imprinted onto the psyche of an individual and the effects of child abuse might be very difficult for them to easily overcome (Nauert, 2006).
Adults who survive child abuse often develop certain feelings towards others such as dislike,mistrust,rejection and emotional distancing which might hinder them from forming healthy relationships with others. They are often tot able to maintain healthy relationships incase they form them as they will often take part in arguing or fighting constantly. These individuals also have a problem when it comes to communicating their feelings.in most cases the abuse makes them used to suppressing or bottling up their emotions and feelings. The abusers force the children not to tell anyone about what they are going through often threatening them .in their adult life the child will become very secretive and fear exposing their feelings to anyone. This contributes to their inability of forming healthy relationships as they will fond it difficult to share anything going on in their lives with anyone. They might also find it difficult to form any kind or romantic relationships and they can not form any intimate relationships with other people (Nauert, 2006).
It is not all the children who have been abused in their childhood have difficulty in forming healthy relationships. This often depends on various reasons such as; the age of the child’s and their development status when the abuse took place.it also depends on the type of abuse the child has gone through ;is it physical, sexual, or emotional. Another factor is the frequency, severity and duration that the abuse took. Finally it depends on the relationship that the victim had with his or her abuser (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2008).
Interventions
Treating and counselingservices offered to children that have been assaulted helps with working through the trauma. This reduces the effects of the abuse and hence these children may overcome the trauma they might have been harboring. This leads to better relationship building when a child is in their adult life. If there is no action taken against stopping abuse and child protection then the effects of child abuse will be serious and it will become very difficult for an adult who have been abused to form any meaningful relationships. Therefore the only way of preventing this from happening is taking any action that will stop the abuse from going on.
