    This was the best speech from the inauguration 2021. Now she's hinting at a run for President. 2036 is right around the corner ?!?

    The speech was well thought out and very well written. I think it's interesting how inspiring she's been to people due to the speech.

    I think her speech was amazing. I never really listen to those kinds of things or pay attention, but I'm glad I did. However, I'm not sure going from giving a speech, to being president is very realistic. More power to her though for thinking ahead like 15 years.

    I was lucky enough to be able to watch the inauguration in my classes. I was enthralled by Amanda Gorman's speech. I feel like her words were well said and represented Americans of all ages and backgrounds. I believe that her speech has influenced younger generations to have a voice. While she has quite a ways to go, I do believe that she could be president someday.

    I think her speech can reach all different people of different race, gender, etc. I think she can talk to different generations, especially the younger ones who one day will be the voices of our society. I think it was well thought out and a very good speech.

    I thought her speech was amazing. I like how she worked to make sure it could reach all kinds of people. I also thought it was really inspiring reading about her speech impediment and how she didn't let it prevent her from writing and performing her poems.

    Amanda's poem was amazing. Her words were so inspirational. I think Americans needed to hear something about hope, especially after last year's crazy events. And I'm sure that if she was able to overcome her speech impediment to speak in front of so many people, she can do anything she sets her mind to, even becoming a future president. I can't wait to see what other things she achieves!

    I think that she had a really good speech. I liked the way she would word things and reached all different kinds of people. It was a very inspirational speech and i feel like she has a good future in front of her.

    I understand how unique this poem is and how well it is said and written, but honestly after listening and understand each individual sentence and word ( including definitions of words ) it just sounds like what other people have been saying for the past 365 days without the high-level words. She talks about how much America is broken after everything that happened in 2020, how many steps we need to take so everything is not back to the way it was before, but where we want it to be and where we want it to go. Congrats to her by all means, but hearing the same things being said over and over again just makes her poem less impactful. Of course, these problems need solving but most people just the problem not how to fix them.

    I could hardly tell that Amanda had a speech impediment! She delivered her speech so well

    i totally agree. he should be treated the way he treated and what he did to james thimm and what he did to the little boy. the little boy was only 5 years old thats just dumb.

    How could you kill a person, let alone beat a five year old to death? What did the kid ever do to him...?
  • Brittany Bourlier on 07 Mar 12
     
    I think he should be sentenced to death what he did was wrong and completely inhumane
  • Christina Constant on 07 Mar 12
     
    I think all people should be punished for crimes like that because if you don't other will just do the same
  • Ryan Koontz on 07 Mar 12
     
    Treat others the way you would want to be treated so he should be killed
  • Jake Radford on 09 Mar 12
     
    Great thinking Koontz lol
  • kevindickey on 09 Mar 12
     
    Yeah I agree killing killers is good because they killed some one else, so every one who kills some one should be killed by some one else.... wait, then that person would have to be killed. Maybe capital punishment isn't the best policy. Maybe prisons should focus on reform instead.

    I'm with Kevin. Yes, they did something wrong, but to kill them is just as wrong. Plus, you can sit behind a computer and say that you think he should die, but to actually be the person to do it is much different. You don't get that held on your conscience for killing someone, so of course you're fine with the killing of them. They're a monster. But still a person, and to kill them puts you on the same level of being a monster. And to do the same thing he did to the kid and the guy is even worse. Do you really think that it would be right to that? Could you personally do that to someone? Because if you can you are LITERALLY just as bad as he was.
