Nicholas Kristof’s “3 Peerless Republicans for President: Trump, Carson and Fiorina”, deems the leading candidates from the Grand Old Party unfit for presidency, and the public’s fixation with them a temporary affair. Multiple previous controversies being detailed, and the use notably bleak statistics help undermine the contenders while urging voters to look elsewhere. Kristof utilizes harsh diction with a simple, yet critical tone to denounce the trio, and further his own
George Washington was a courageous, caring person who ended up becoming the first President of the United States. The author of “How to Be Presidential”, Edward G Lengel, truly believed Washington was the man for the job, and shows his claims by explaining his life in chronological order. By doing so, he makes people believe Washington deserved to be the first President because of his courageous life. Lengel carefully put certain timelines in the story to explain Washington’s life into chronological order. This is first directly showed in paragraph four where Lengel writes, “...which he experienced at Fort Necessity and the Monongahela River in western Pennsylvania in 1754-55,...”.
When looking at the cover of this book, one may think that the rest of the book will only get better from there. They will be greatly disappointed when they finish the whole book and realize that when they looked at the cover, they encountered the most interesting part of the whole book. Failures of the Presidents does not exceed or even fulfill the expectations the reader has for this book. If someone wrote a book called “Failures of the History Books”, this book would get its deserving spot on the top of the list. Failures of the Presidents by Thomas Craughwell is a nonfiction history book.

Out of the seven hundred pounds and the average height of two feet, about forty percent of that is muscle.

In “Unfit to be President”: 58 House Democrats want to start debating the impeachment of Donald Trump by Ezra Klein, he discusses the possibility of current U.S. president Donald Trump being impeached is a good thing for democrats. Klein claims that it would be a waste of time and effort for democrats. He says this because they don’t have enough support to complete impeachment and impeachment is a near impossible task. He discusses how Rep. Al Green has a proposal to impeach Trump, which he says is well intentioned but would never get through Congress. The article is very effective at convincing the reader of not impeaching Trump.
Next thing I know you'll become a Republican” "Where are the values I raised you with?”(269). She has come a long way since being with her parents, and just because she does not want to be homeless, does not mean that she is not the same person. The adjustment was necessary for her to see that she had no limit, and that she was more than just the daughter of the town drunk from Little Hobart Street. Even her mother says herself,“Life’s too short to care about what other people think. Besides, they should accept us for who we are.”(157).
Prior to reading the article Ezra Klein’s How to Stop an Autocracy, I was unfamiliar with the term “autocracy” actually meant in context. Undoubtedly, the United States finds itself in a divisive state; yet, I found it intriguing to read the Klein believes that Trump’s administration will not threaten America’s system of government and how the country will not become an autocracy. I agree with Klein when he says that, “His oft-stated admiration for authoritarians in other countries — including, but not limited to, Vladimir Putin — speaks to his yearning for power” [1]. Donald Trump wants to appear powerful and tough in front of his audience, a political tactic that has gotten him far as a businessman, perhaps this is because that is what he
In the New York Times article “The Harm in Free Speech”, Stanley Fish argues that it would make no difference if Jeremy Waldron’s book, “The Harm in Hate Speech,” was titled “The Harm in Free Speech”. While providing an insightful review of the novel, Fish promotes the ideas depicted in the novel. Fish argues that American society is obsessed with using the First Amendment to say outwardly offensive statements. Fish asserts that “hate speech” is not simply expressing an opinion, but rather a way to belittle members of society a person deems unworthy. Americans hide behind the First Amendment and use it as a justification to spew hate speech.
Of all the characters featured in Lord of the Flies who relates to the book’s overall meaning and purpose the most? Piggy. William Golding purposely wrote this as an allegorical story, meaning almost everything -including characters- alludes to or symbolizes something else. I choose Piggy because he is the strongest example of this. Statements made by him, statements said about him, his appearance, his ideas, his death...all of these examples and more have a deeper meaning that just isn’t present within the other characters. These allusions are present throughout the entire story and build upon each-other.
A boy runs after his mother, grabs her hand, and pleads, “Don’t do it, mama! Don’t do it!” The mother tears her hand away and screams, “Ungrateful child! You cannot cannot stop me. I’m going to jump!
Responsibility Over Living Sigmund Freud once said, “Most people do not really want freedom because freedom involves responsibility and most people are frightened of responsibility.” This quote in my opinion means that even though most people say they want freedom to do whatever they want, they really don’t because they’re too scared to accept responsibility for their actions. The character John hurt a lot of people in this novel because he is too afraid to be responsible. He would rather have a party than take care of a sick man’s house. He is not a good role model.
“It is a violation of human rights when women are doused with gasoline, set on fire, and burned to death because their marriage dowries are deemed too small” (Clinton). She also clarifies the fact that these issues are still held in many
Equality: The Rebirth of America In Patrick Buchanan’s essay “Deconstructing America” he mentions in regards of the creation of America, “But that republic and that empire did not rise because the settlers and those who followed believed in diversity, equality, and democracy, but because they rejected diversity, equality, and democracy. (Buchanan 597) Mr. Patrick Buchanan clarifies what the founding fathers of this nation were based, shaped, and modeled by rejecting any close contact with today’s melting pot model, which it led to an era of chaos when this sense of thoughts were implemented. Even though the melting pot model shows how cultural pluralism might create cultural separatism due to America losing its fundamental traditions and
