having eloquence

eloquence is the art of speaking or writing in a fluent and persuasive manner, captivating your audience with your words. it's about expressing yourself clearly, gracefully, and effectively, whether you're giving a speech, writing an essay, or engaging in a conversation. achieving eloquence takes practice and skill, but it's definitely something that can be cultivated over time. here are some tips to help you become more eloquent:

expand your vocabulary: one of the keys to eloquence is having a diverse and varied vocabulary. make an effort to learn new words and phrases, and practice incorporating them into your speech and writing. reading widely and exposing yourself to different styles of writing can also help expand your vocabulary.

master the art of storytelling: storytelling is a powerful tool for capturing your audience's attention and conveying your message effectively. learn how to craft compelling narratives with a clear beginning, middle, and end, and use vivid imagery and descriptive language to bring your stories to life.

practice clarity and precision: eloquence is not just about using big words or complex sentences—it's about communicating your ideas clearly and concisely. strive for clarity in your speech and writing, and avoid unnecessary jargon or overly complicated language that might confuse your audience.

hone your public speaking skills: effective communication is a crucial component of eloquence, so practice speaking confidently and articulately in front of others. work on your posture, tone of voice, and body language, and practice delivering your message with passion and conviction.

listen actively: being a good listener is just as important as being a good speaker when it comes to achieving eloquence. listen attentively to others when they speak, and take the time to understand their perspective before responding. this shows respect for your audience and can help you tailor your message more effectively.

seek feedback: ask for feedback from trusted friends, colleagues, or mentors on your speech and writing. constructive criticism can help you identify areas for improvement and refine your communication skills over time.

be authentic: perhaps the most important aspect of eloquence is authenticity. speak and write from the heart, and let your true voice shine through. authenticity builds trust and rapport with your audience and makes your message more compelling and impactful.

"She's like a good book.. you want to stick your face deep inside her, sticking your fingers between her pages, getting to know her. She's the most eloquent poetry to ever exist, the deepest story ever told, and though her pages may be battered and abused.. you touch her softly, handling her with care. Enjoying every moment that you spend with her.."

Dive into her like a good book, spend time getting to know her.. and you will most definitely fall in love with her tale - eUë

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

How eloquently the committee sided with the dispossessed native peoples of half the world.

Too often, their territory has been usurped; their property seized; their numbers diminished; their character debased; the spread of civilization impeded. European vices and diseases have been introduced amongst them, and they have been familiarized with the use of our most potent instruments for the subtle or the violent destruction of human life, viz. brandy and gunpowder . . .

It might be presumed that the native inhabitants of any land have an incontrovertible right to their own soil; a plain and sacred right, however, which seems not to have been understood. Europeans have entered their borders uninvited, and, when there, have not only acted as if they were undoubted lords of the soil, but have punished the natives as aggressors if they have evinced a disposition to live in their own country.
