Valedictory speech
Explanation:
Valedictorian is an academic title of success used in the United States, Canada, and other countries for the student who delivers the closing or farewell statement or a Valediction at a graduation or convocation ceremony. The chosen valedictorian is traditionally the student with the highest ranking or highest Grade Point Average, among their graduating class. The valedictory address generally is considered a final farewell or goodbye speech to classmates and the school before they disperse to pursue their individual paths after graduating. From the question since Frances GPA is very high and she graduated with honors, she is also to speak during the convocation ceremony, she is most likely giving a valedictory speech.
<span>Now Britain had never been visited by the Romans, and was entirely unknown to them before the time of Caius Julius Caesar, who, in the year 693 after the foundation of Rome, but the sixtieth year before the Incarnation of our Lord, was consul with Lucius Bibulus. While he was making war upon the Germans and the Gauls, who were divided only by the river Rhine, he came into the province of the Morini, whence is the nearest and shortest passage into Britain. Here, having provided about eighty ships of burden and fast-sailing vessels, he sailed over into Britain; where, being first roughly handled in a battle, and then caught in a storm, he lost a considerable part of his fleet, no small number of foot-soldiers, and almost all his cavalry. Returning into Gaul, he put his legions into winter-quarters, and gave orders for building six hundred sail of both sorts. With these he again crossed over early in spring into Britain, but, whilst he was marching with the army against the enemy, the ships, riding at anchor, were caught in a storm and either dashed one against another, or driven upon the sands and wrecked. Forty of them were lost, the rest were, with much difficulty, repaired. Caesar’s cavalry was, at the first encounter, defeated by the Britons, and there Labienus, the tribune, was slain. In the second engagement, with great hazard to his men, he defeated the Britons and put them to flight. Thence he proceeded to the river Thames, where a great multitude of the enemy had posted themselves on the farther side of the river, under the command of Cassobellaunus, and fenced the bank of the river and almost all the ford under water with sharp stakes: the remains of these are to be seen to this day, apparently about the thickness of a man’s thigh, cased with lead, and fixed immovably in the bottom of the river. This being perceived and avoided by the Romans, the barbarians, not able to stand the charge of the legions, hid themselves in the woods, whence they grievously harassed the Romans with repeated sallies. In the meantime, the strong state of the Trinovantes, with their commander Androgius, surrendered to Caesar, giving him forty hostages. Many other cities, following their example, made a treaty with the Romans. Guided by them, Caesar at length, after severe fighting, took the town of Cassobellaunus, situated between two marshes, fortified by sheltering woods, and plentifully furnished with all necessaries. After this, Caesar returned from Britain into Gaul, but he had no sooner put his legions into winter quarters, than he was suddenly beset and distracted with wars and sudden risings on every side.</span>
Answer:
A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the emperor Atahualpa did not produce a roomful of gold at Pizarro's request when Pizarro conquered Cajamarca in 1532. In fact, Atahualpa did produce the gold but was executed anyway. This version has been updated.

Answer:
This is an excerpt from<em> "O Captain! My Captain!",</em> a poem written by Walt Whitman. In this poem, Whitman addresses the death of Abraham Lincoln. The speaker of the poem is a sailor who is talking to his captain. This is, clearly, a metaphor for Whitman's conversation with the late Lincoln. The captain represents the president, while the ship represents the United States of America. The sailor refers to 'captain' as his father, which demonstrates Whitman's respect for Lincoln. The trip mentioned in the poem represents the Civil war. Although the poet expresses his relief that the war is over, the tone of the poem is dark. At the beginning of the poem, Whitman writes that<em> "our fearful trip is done" </em>and<em> "the prize we sought is won"</em>, but the mood is quickly changed with the line<em> "You've fallen cold and dead" , </em>which symbolizes Whitman's sadness and grief over Lincoln's death.
