"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest soul, the massive characters are seared with scars"Khalil Gibran (Criminal Minds)
In the Junior, class called Rhetoric we learned about what makes up rhetoric ( audience speaker and message).We visited the history museum seeing the exhibits The lives of objects. We learned about the effect of Rhetoric on others , another thing that we learned was the techniques that make rhetoric more effective. Lastly, we learned how does rhetoric influence.For this action project, we had to make a speech for a candidate, they have to answer my question which is Why is the murder rate rising in Chicago
AL Rhetoric Speech from AL on Vimeo.
In Chicago, the murder rate has been rising a lot lately due to the rate of gun violence, because a large percent of gangs in the Chicago area.This topic has been on the news more frequently in these past three years involving gangs killing little kids with parent having gang ties.Tyshawn lee a nine-year-old boy was led into an alley and murdered by two gangs members that his father was assumed to have gang ties with,a child playing ball with his friends shot for something he knew nothing about. A woman who was 49 years old an innocent bystander was and killed in a gang crossfire trying to buy coffee from Starbucks. We can't even get a latte without being killed in the crossfire.
In May of last year, it was 46 murders and 318 shootings to 66 murders in may this year and 397 shootings. This is just some of the statistics of the rate rising. in the article 10 shootings a day: Complex causes of Chicago's spiking violence in the Chicago tribune stating that,” through June Chicago has had more homicides than the two largest cities combined” mostly being in the Englewood and Harrison neighborhoods are one-fourth of the homicides in Chicago related to gang disputes. I think that this should not be something that as 16-year-old girl that i should be worrying about, I should be worried about turning in my homework and dating instead every day I see new murder victims due to gangs. I am ashamed of where I was born , this is my home I have lived her since I was in the fourth grade, to become a youthful young women worried about my brother being killed by the police or shot in the crossfire of gangs getting home from work.
We as citizens of Chicago, should better try to have our kids have activities after school to keep them from joining gangs or being victimized by one. We as citizens should help out community to get out city back to way it used to be. We as citizens should not be ashamed to say where we are from to other in different cities , we should not be afraid to say if we live in Englewood or Harrison it shouldn't matter where we are from inside we are all the same. We As citizen need to love each other and be supportive not kill little boys that barely have even lived. Loving where we from to should be like loving our parents that house and clothes us. Kids being able to go play ball with no worries is like , minorities not having to deal with discrimination for wanting a good job to support their families.
