Presidential Courage, written by Michael Beschloss, takes the reader through a series of events over 200 years involving 9 different presidents and how America grew to highly respect them. Out of the 9, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Harry Truman were the top 3 most revered Presidents. Beschloss uncovers the troubles each and every single one of the president’s moment of crisis and how they all overcame these problems while risking the stability of the country. George Washington had faced his biggest challenge in the political field and surprisingly not the battlefield in 1795 when he attempted to turn away from a new war against Great Britain that he knew the United States could not succeed.
The organization of the book is chronological order. It begins with the description of the Robert Newsome and his family and how they got where they were in the 1850s. It proceeds to the crime and why Celia did it. Following the murder, the book explains the questioning of Celia and George. Coinciding with the era, the author describes what is happening in the rest of the United States government and within the states of Missouri and Kansas.
There are two volumes of this book which the author called a narrative history of America. It comprises the information about the years from 1932 to 1972. And, unlike other typical (and boring) history books where the information is usually jumbled in decades, each of the 37 chapters of this book covers only one year. Here, I want to dwell upon The Part 1 (Prologue) and the years from 1932-1941.
Using the guidelines for reading photographs, the photo on page 123 of Read, Reason, Write is a scene of solemn and silent disappointment. With the supposed the President centered in the room, flanked by the American flag and a flag bearing the Seal of the President of the United States, which implies the man in the middle is the President. Also, the feeling of solemn and silent disappointment comes from both the photo being in black-and-white, and the bowed head of the President. His hands on the desk suggest frustration, as he is hunched over the desk instead of standing or sitting straight up. The President’s back to the camera also suggests a time of personal reflection and thoughtfulness on the President’s part, but also a time of abandoning
Historical documents, memoirs and diaries from Truman, Keenan and other historical figures of that time. There are also scholarly journals, published books, and transcripts from interviews.

In the second section of Jean Edward Smith's FDR, the tone is one of solemnity, as the book delves into the tumultuous events of World War II. Smith's writing is characterized by a sense of gravity, as he depicts the harsh realities of war and the impact it had on President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the nation as a whole. The tone is also one of determination, as FDR and his administration worked tirelessly to navigate the challenges of the war and lead the country to victories both economic and military in nature. The tone developed through literary devices and well-placed quotes by Smith further affects the way the story is interpreted by the reader and allows one to become more fully immersed in the book, allowing the immense weight of the decisions and the determination that Roosevelt carried a daily basis to be
This led to a greater understanding of Tubman’s actions and lifestyle. By showing her hardships as a child and teenager, a reader develops a connection and a feeling of empathy for Truman. This organization makes the story seem more adventurous than most biographies. These biographies simply state cold, bare facts, while Clinton’s portrayal allows a reader to live the story of Tubman’s life with her. For example, when Clinton states, "Slave parents lived in abject terror of separation from their children.
After the execution, Oswald was noticed by a few people on a different level of the building than where the shots were fired from, but he had enough period of time to get there before anyone could realize what had happened. With that, Oswald's behavior on the day of the assassination is consistent with him being the assassin and there are not many pieces of evidence identifying anyone else as the
Truman stated to others that Perry trusted him and turned over his personal books (journals) to help him write the story. Truman read from those books to others, not respecting any privacy and shared, for example, that Perry wanted to be held in higher esteem and be taken seriously if he ever had to give a speech. Truman said Perry was a gold mine and when he thought about how good his book could be, he could hardly breathe, taking advantage of vulnerable populations. I felt Truman was somewhat honest in the beginning, wanting to portray their story, but when the story transitioned and he knew it was going to be the biggest story of his life, motives changed. Deceit and exploitation came into play.
My entire life has changed due to my kindness. Therefore, should I no longer be kind? Why offer my assistance to others if the outcome is penalization? These questions torment my mind; do I acknowledge what's happening around me, or should I just drive by? All I wanted to do was help people, and now, all I do is suffer.

So I thought, why would we still want Freedom anymore. That was when I realized, the best way to live life, is to live in detainment. The world that Truman lives in a is a very simple world, because it was a world with very limited freedom. Truman was always being

So American men work so hard and often “die at his desk with a bottle of benzedrines in one hand and a packet of tranquilizers in the other.” After overworking, these men will go to the clubs of men sharing one another with stories. The stories they share are always alike, which contain three main characters: “the husband, the wife, and the dirty dog.” The husband is the one representing
