Joker10 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I had to do a Commemorative Speech as an assignment for class on a person we know or on a historical figure. Knowing that the most boring commemorative speeches are the ones when someone talks about a relative, or someone in involved in politics.. i decided to tell the story about a man who immigrated to America from Cuba, with practically nothing, and later on became the first Hispanic with real presence on television. I told the story of Desiraldo Alberto Arnaz, known to the world as Desi Arnaz or Ricky Ricardo! My intro put a smile on their face as no one expected to hear about someone like him! You know, my family friends joke around with me whenever I mention Lucy, since I'm a big fan. I can now say that I went the extra mile by making a presentation about it in college! I poke fun at myself and I will always remember this day. Some of the things I covered was Desi's wealthy side of his family and his life in Cuba; his struggles; his impact in Latin music and as a producer and innovator that has made him one of the most recognizable faces in the entertainment industry.

Mister Hepburn Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 After sophomore year in high school I wasn't allowed to do any projects on Lucy because I had done so many already, teacher's knew I wasn't challenging myself because I knew Lucy so well. College has been a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Hepburn Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I've written 10 papers, at least. In fact, I've written about Love, Lucy twice for similar assignments, different classes. I did a presentation on I Love Lucy (from creation to demise) for my communications class. I bring up Lucy a lot in acting class, and its agreed that Lucy has quite the influence on my acting choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
