“There is nothing impossible to him who will try,” said Alexander the Great, a past king of an ancient Greek kingdom. In compliance with this powerful quote, are the life stories of Ernie Feld and Werner Klemke. Upon reading the articles of which describe their experiences, one may simply perceive the relationship both men have to World War II. It is evident, however, that there is an underlying message that persists to become known.

In the late 19th century the U.S. got possession of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines and the Anti-imperialist league were people who disagreed with U.S. 's colonial expansion and how it was becoming an imperial power.

Rhetorical Analysis of George Whitfield’s “On Britain’s Mercies and Britain’s Duties” Great Awakening preacher George Whitefield, in his sermon “On Britain’s Mercies and Britain’s Duties” which was preached in 1746 at the New House in Philadelphia addresses the topic of God’s mercy and the duties the colonists owed to Him.

He supports this claim by using biblical references, conducting a series of rhetorical questions, and finally he appeals to the audience’s emotions by using figurative language. Whitefield’s purpose is to remind the Protestants that God was merciful to the British in the war by allowing them to win the war so now

Peter the Great accomplished a lot during his reign, yet there were incidents where he used terror to get his way with the empire.

Time flies like a jet. The soft rock song “Vienna” by Billy Joel illustrates this in a forceful yet concerned way. In the first stanza, the lyrics convey how the speaker is telling one to not be so determined to grow up because when that time comes one will not be ready to mature.

The third stanza portrays how one can live their life to the fullest or just grow old fast and Vienna still awaits them.
