Wendell Holmes “The Physiology of Walking” talks about the amazing feat humans have achieved just through the act of walking. He goes in depth depicting how humans walk through the intricate workings of all the muscles and bones in the legs. However, in contrast, Sylvia Plath’s poem, “I am Vertical” talk about the fact that although she is vertical, she would rather be horizontal. By putting these two works side by side, Holmes astonishment with being upright and Plath’s desire to the horizontal, it becomes clear the ongoing discussion of the pros and cons of verticality.

Introduction
Hello Baruch administrators, faculty, and alumni. Being a student at Baruch College, I want to let you know of the improvements that Baruch can make. Firstly, students who live in the dorms are pretty far from school and have to take the subway every day. Taking subways are expensive and annoying. If there was a way to get a shuttle bus to pick the students up from the dorms, that would be ideal. Also, the elevators in the Lawrence and Eris building are horrible. It takes 10 minutes for them to show up on your floor and you end up wasting valuable time. Lastly, Baruch College has hardly any greenery and it’s a big issue. Most people would benefit from a greenery space outside of our campus. Overall, I believe that there are some issues that need to be looked at in detail. Thanks and enjoy!
Introduction and Conclusion
Intro:
Esteemed faculty, students, and administrators, it has come to our attention that there are changes Baruch should make. We would like to propose several ideas that would ensure for a better school, and a better learning environment. We understand that 90 million dollars are already being given to better Baruch, but we have some additional requests. We hope you take these into consideration, as it is in the best interest for everyone. We would like a shuttle bus service to be implemented from the dorms to the school. This would connect the two buildings. Also, we would like to have a more green campus. Planting trees would help achieve this, or starting a roof-top garden. Lastly, we already are aware that money is being given for elevator repair, but we would like if this could be done as efficiently as possible to not interrupt the flow of traffic and make it any worse than it already is. These changes would make Baruch a better school than it already is.
Conclusion:
Imagine walking outside of your dormitory and getting on a free shuttle that drops you off right in front of your school. After taking our your ID card and walking through the revolving doors, you see no lines for the elevators and you decide to take it all the way to the top, since you have time before your next class. You get off at the top floor, the “green-roof.” You find a nice bench underneath a tree, and you sit down to review your notes before class. This is something that seems almost impossible, but can easily be achieved. We would like this to be an ordinary day at Baruch college, but we need your help in order to make that possible.
Intoduction and Conclusion
Introduction:
Hello everyone, I’m glad that you’re all here. Always progressing, innovating and striving towards improvement is the hallmark of business, and it is fitting that Baruch, one of the top undergraduate schools in the nation for business should do so as well. You have all worked hard on improving the Baruch experience, and half the battle is identifying what the issues that students really care about are. We are here today, as students, to let you know what we believe should be your next focus. Fixing the elevators in the Lawrence and Eris building is critical, as this issue inconveniences thousands of students every day. Adding greenery is also important, as many studies have shown that doing so has many positive benefits. Lastly, we believe that making the commute for dormers easier is important, as it will let them experience a more quintessential dorming experience. We have also come up with a variety of ways in which these issues can be addressed.
Conclusion:
I hope you will keep our speech in mind as you consider how to make yours, and our, school better. These are important issues, and we have all thought long and hard about the solutions we shared with you today. We know that we may not have accounted for everything, and that some things we ask may not actually be feasible or possible; all we ask is that you try to fix these issues in anyway you can, even if our specific methods are insufficient. Most of the benefits of the things we suggest right now would not be immediate, and would take several years to implement. We understand this, but don’t mind, because we want the same thing as you; a better experience for future Baruch students. Thank you for listening to us, and we hope you enjoy your evening.
Intro Post
The Lawrence and Eris Building is in terrible shape. Students are having a hard time adjusting to Baruch life. The surrounding buildings, classrooms and chairs are slowly rotting away. Student morale is at an all time low. As a commuter school, it’s easy to say that that’s the reason why there is a eerie dissatisfaction towards Baruch life. What’s wrong with stating that the reason for such discontent towards Baruch is due to the fact that it is a commuter school is because that it isn’t the only factor that plays in this problem. There are complaints about the elevators, dorms, student life and the whole campus in general, almost all the time. It’s time to improve Baruch before it’s too late. If not, Baruch will continue to slowly decline in student participation as well as renovation opportunities in the years to come. Believe it or not, Baruch is in need of change. The Baruch community has suffered enough. Once things are better, the impact of such trans-formative renovations will not only be beneficial for the whole college but also put CUNY Bernard M. Baruch College as the new favorite in NYC for all future students and generations to enjoy and cherish forever.
Introduction to the Speech
Introduction
Hello Baruch Administrators, Alumni, Faculty, and fellow Students. It has come to my attention that Bernard M. Baruch College is in need of change. Change in the commute of the students who live in the dorm. Change in the daily commute the students take to get to their classes. Change in the environment in which the students can learn, study, and even relax. These changes will not only improve the lives of the entire student body and but it can even improve your lives as well.
