“Breaking the Chains of Oppression: A Call for Freedom and Independence”

Freedom/Independence: Using an array of rhetorical devices and strategies, compose a 5-page political speech to a world leader who is oppressing another country or their own country. Examples might include Russia (Ukraine, Crimea, Serbia, and Georgia), China (Taiwan and Tibet), Israel (Palestine), England (Scotland and Ireland), or Syria (under dictatorship). As another option, you may want to write about countries fighting for independence. These are called separatist movements.
