During this time he made hundreds of cartoons with sayings attacking Germany and the Nazis, as well as trying to draw support from the Americans to want to join in the war. Another popular propaganda that Theodore made in many different forms was to buy war bonds to aid in the war. Besides just making posters and sayings for the war he also wrote several short moral boosting movies for the soldiers. One of the last things that he made for the war was instructions to the soldiers on how to treat the Germans while they were moving through Germany after their defeat.

Steinbeck found this to be a turning point in the actions of Americans—to either join together and work through it as a whole, or take advantage of others and push yourself forward and not care about those you may leave behind. John Steinbeck’s works were heavily influenced by the depression and the impact it had in the current struggles of the common man; they were reflected in his works Of Mice and Men, and The Grapes of Wrath. John Steinbeck was born in 1902 in Salinas Valley, California. Once he completed high school, he went off to Stanford University for five years but never earned a degree. While he was off at college he was able to have a job on a farm.
On December 28th, 1856, Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born in a pious and academic household in Staunton, Virginia. Growing up in Georgia and South Carolina, he suffered the Civil War and witnessed the pain and fear caused by this disastrous event. These experiences had been deeply rooted in his heart and led him to try his best as a president to keep his citizens out of war several decades later. In 1873 Wilson began his college life in Davidson College, but withdrew shortly because of ill health. He ultimately graduated from the College of New Jersey (later to become Princeton University) in 1879 and determined to be a statesman after reading widely in political philosophy and history.

In the Revolution Controversy I learned some important things: One was that the Revolution was initiated by Richard Price’s sermon, A Discourse on the Love of Our Country; Price had significant influence on England’s policies and an idea that loves for one’s country should imply love for fellow cities and about the importance of liberty and education within a nation. Then a year later Edmund Burke published a reply to Price, his Reflections on the Revolution in France; where he talked about the rights of man, her view of nature and our liberties and about the illusion and power. Then Reflections had too many responses from Mary Wollstonecraft in her Vindication of the Rights of Men. Wollstonecraft was a British feminist in support of French Revolution.
The following year he was recruited by the South Brooklyn News . In 1877 Riis became a police reporter for the New York Tribune.

He constantly argued that the "poor were the victims rather than the makers of their fate".
Old Majors similarities to Karl Marx Old Major is like an exact counterpart of Karl Marx of the Russian Revolution. Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto and Old Major's speech both lead to an uprising of their people. Both however died before they could see their plan in effect.
