Argumentative Speech

Albert DeLisio Ms. McKoy English II October 15, 2012 Life’s Personal Signs As years have passed, many a great and philosophical man, such as Galileo Galilei, has studied the stars in our ever expanding space. There in the night sky lie star patterns; these patterns are known as constellations. All these constellations have different origins, but there are twelve that stand out from the eighty eight constellations. We know these twelve constellations as the zodiac. Why do these twelve individual patterns matter? They are important because they are the signs given to us at the time of our birth. Depending on the month and day someone is born they are given an individual zodiac sign that describes that persons traits and characteristics. As an example I myself am a Cancer. Cancer is the crab and is the seventh sign in the zodiac. The sun passes through this sign during the times of June 22nd to July 22nd. Knowing your sign as well as others is an important and overlooked idea. Knowing how you and the others around you act can be an invaluable resource in life by creating a better and more personal understanding of yourself and others. Knowing your sign can have a very positive effect on you and the others around you. In the real world everyone acts according to their own beliefs and ideals. Depending on their sign, these beliefs are assorted in a vast range of ideas. Your zodiac sign can be your best friend and in some cases your worst nightmare. Your zodiac sign can have many effects on your everyday life. One effect is that it can determine what kind of person you will fall in love with. When this topic is brought about in a conversation many people have different speculations on the idea of the importance of the zodiac signs. Many people are very superstitious about how their independent horoscopes embed themselves into their lives. Many people state that they have nothing to do with their lives. Many people, while on the other end of the spectrum, feel so strongly about them that they end up blogging about it. Why do people feel so strongly about their zodiacs importance? They believe it will help them find happiness. They believe it will give them strength. They believe it will help them by creating a sense of hope in times of despair and calamity. Everyone believes in something different. This can be a result of your zodiac sign. Your sign plays an important role in life even if you are not aware of it. The zodiac signs are widely over looked all around the world and some do not understand their purpose. Those of us who cannot comprehend the importance of the zodiac should try and find a little insight on their unique sign. In conclusion, my topic may not seem very important to most of us listening to this speech, but your sign is what makes you who you are. Everyone is different, no one is the same. People act depending on who they are, how their emotions work, and what others say or think. The zodiac is an amazing thing to know, I believe more people should know their sign so we can work better together in life. If you are not sure what your sign is you can go to my blog and read the story behind my topic for more details. Then ask yourself this, “are you your sign?”
