Description of The Green Chapel

The poet describes it as a low, smooth mound covered with grass, with openings at the ends and the sides, indicating that it is oblong. This description makes the Green Chapel sound like a barrow, an ancient grave mound, which has been emptied of it contents, so that it looks to Gawain like nothing but an old cave.

that is the way of a cheater and cheaters get nothing but bad grades and in trouble.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location
