When I first received the prompt for the repurposing project, I was clueless. I had no idea which old essay of mine I was going to repurpose - and what I was going to repurpose it into.

I finally made a decision. One of my old English 125 essays was about drone warfare. It sounded very poetic. In hindsight I think this was because it was overly dramatic, but at the time I thought "this would sound really cool as a speech".

So I made it into a speech. For your convenience I placed the speech transcript on the front page of the OTHER WRITING tab (if you're here you've probably already encountered it).

It is best read loudly and with dramatic hand gestures. (see figure 1)
