      Hello, your article cannot be viewed from you profile. On the other hand, have you checked HP's learning center?

      Hi there,
      
      https://discover.hubpages.com/business/ … nal-speech
      
      The title, "A Must Way Out..." is grammatically incorrect. It should be something like, "How to Win and Prove Your Point in a Speech".
      
      The image of the man in distress is offputting. Find a more uplifting photo.
      
      Those two things plus a Grammarly check will probably help you get your article featured.
      
      Good luck.

   I am starting to doubt if my article is even useful or if I can even write actually!
   Seriously I don't know what to do.

      What is that reference to a TV series? You haven't named it, or given any details. Who is Octavia? What was the scene?
      
      You have to be careful with those quotes as, if you use too many, it will be considered copied content. You haven't attributed them to the series, the writer, or the actor/character.
      
      The conclusion contains a circular argument, "And the most important skill to have to survive in today's world is the ability to survive." Well, yes, but that's a pretty useless statement.
      
      You can get it featured but it needs work.

      I have some thoughts. You need to give credit to the writer of the speech, since it’s the basis of your article. Repeating the speech twice might be viewed as duplicate content. Expanding the capsules so there’s more of your original text compared to the quotes could be useful.
      
      I think these changes might help. If they don't, you may have to eliminate the mention of killing someone, which an editor may not have liked.
      
      Edit: I see that theraggededge has posted some similar points while I was composing my answer. Her points are important to consider.

   I got all your points and I have edited them. I had added the name of the series but had removed it because I thought the editor might have thought it was a kind of a promotional content. But I added it now once more.
   
   The question here is that may I put a youtube link of the scene or it will be considered a scam?
   
   I also thought that the editor might have not liked the idea of killing someone. but that is far beyond killing, it's about saving mankind. Anyway I will try that trick if it got refused again.
   
   Again I thank both of you a lot. Totally appreciated.

      Well done. And it's perfectly fine to include a YouTube video. There is a specific capsule available for it.
