Caroline Matkom A.P. Psychology Hour 6 “If you live your life the right way, your dreams will come to you.” This quote comes from the energetic, fit, and lively Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. From the cheerful and handsome man standing in front of the lecture hall, one would have never guessed he was admits his final months of a terminating battle with pancreatic cancer. The Last Lecture is indeed the last lecture Dr. Pausch ever performed, a retrospective, reflective testimony of his short yet passionate life. The lecture included varies aspects of Erik Erickson’s stages of psychosocial development, such as the elementary school stage, middle adulthood and late adulthood.

Instructor Helen Chandler English 1301-2023 February 9, 2012 “The last Lecture’s backgroung” The last lecture was for most of the students and readers a seemingly average book written by a writer who was going through a difficult health problem. That writer, Randy Pausch just wanted to let his audience know about his childhood dreams and how he achieved most of them. He shared with readers and listeners in one of his lectures how achieving their dreams is the best way to “live their life well.” However, going deep through the lecture, it is not difficult as an analytic reader, or listener in the case of being part of the speech, to figure out the rhetorical devices used in narration. Regardless, importance of this last lecture, these rhetorical devices were used in a very clever way to provide: clearness, persuasion, and sentimentalism. One impressive tool used was clarity, the structured and choreographed explanation between his personal and professional life, left nothing for the reader to ask for, every paragraph was clear and meaningful; by giving examples and using props to make him even more understandable, and reliable for his audience, Pausch led his readers and listeners right what he wanted.
He never thought that he would take part in medical school. As a medical student, Rameck had changed. He was a young man who stopped getting so easily intimidated. He was a young man that used his cocky and competitive attitude for the greater good to strive against others to get a better score on his school work. He did have his slip-ups every now and then but that didn’t stop him from becoming a great doctor.
She talked about what a smart and out spoken man her father was, and a person that her family had always looked up to, she saw the life and the goodness that her father had in him starting to fade away at the end.

We told them we are sorry but we will clean right after we selfishly with our playing and she told us if we didn't clean right now and she would give us punishment.

He repeatedly expressed how honored he was to be giving the speech, but he did not try to use all of his accomplishments to show the audience that he was credible. Rather than only talking about this Grammy awards, he addressed his credibility by talking about educational issues in our society. John Legend used pathos appeal to intensify the emotions of the crowd. His emotional tones progressed from being celebratory, somber, and then back to congratulating the audience. He started off his speech by talking how this is a celebration for all the hard work
Small Cell Cancer of the Lungs I am going to do my final research paper on Small Cell Cancer of the Lungs. I have chosen this topic because 8 years ago this December my father was diagnosed with and passed away. He passed away 3 weeks after he was diagnosed. It was a very tragic time for my mom and my entire family to have him fine one day and the next 3 weeks is fighting for his life. Although, researchers say that no one ever passes away from cancer it is the complications that the body goes thru with cancer taking over.
Determination is often defined by setting a goal and working your way towards reaching it but what if determination means simply to settle a purpose in life like in Siddhartha or to fulfill a list of childhood goals because life happened and your time in this world is now limited like in Randy Pausch’s: The Last Lecture? Let’s start off by introducing the elephant in the room as Randy Pausch would say. Pausch was diagnosed with cancer; he had 10 tumors in his liver and was given three to six months left of good health. Within the first two minutes of his lecture he introduces his condition to the crowd and talks about what is and isn’t going to be discussed in his lecture. Some of the don’ts were his family, cancer, and religion whereas he would agree to talk about his childhood dreams, enabling the dreams of others and how you can put it into action as said in his video lecture on YouTube then there is Siddhartha who is a fictional character who grows up as the son of a Brahmin that is seen to be destined for great.
