The Best and Worst of Americas Presidents Throughout U.S history there have been many good presidents and also many bad presidents. I believe that presidents should be graded on how they handle the economy, foreign policy, and equal rights. From our first president to our current president those I believe are the three most important grading points. A good economy is very important because it gives people a better living by giving them job opportunities and a way for people to make money. Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States.
Reb cares about his Judaic books more than anything else, including his family. “When we came to America, instead of taking along feather beds, and the samovar, and the brass pots and pans, like other people, father made us carry his books” (pg. 8). Being a father of the “Old World” and following strict traditions, Reb Smolinsky is not able to earn money in America. His lack of education, as well as his attitude toward women, and his steadfast grip on old traditions does not allow him to work and thus he cannot provide a steady income for his family.
It deeply affected his family, and in the end, he wasted his life away. Johnny Nolan never had a steady job. He worked in the Union, which gave him nightly jobs. The jobs were never consistent, and the pay was not substantial. He always kept a certain amount of money to himself to give to McGarrity for drinks.
On August 13, 1521, the Aztec capital surrendered to Cortes. Every documentation about the conquest is told from a different point of view and a different story. In the past historians have only based the conquest on two documents; Letters Cortes wrote to King Charles V and the True History of the Conquest of Mexico by Bernal Diaz del Castillo. Both documents were written by the Spaniards. Seven years after the
Throughout the previous 10 years, he was strongly opposed to Hamilton’s taxes. For example, in a letter to James Madison, Jefferson claimed that Hamilton’s “excise law is an infernal one.” (Doc. A) He fully thought it was a mistake “to admit it by the Constitution,” (Doc. A) and should have never been allowed. Jefferson and Hamilton also fought while making the national bank in 1791.
Survived Have you ever doubted your ability to overcome barriers? This is a common dilemma that people face throughout their lives. Many people learn over time how to resolve the different issues they face. Susan Madera’s short essay, “One Voice,” talks about how she was in constant doubt about her ability to communicate with others. In the folktale, “The Bar of Gold,” the protagonist constantly worries about his ability to provide for his family.
* HENRY VII RISE TO POWER On the 28 June 1491 HENRY VIII was born as the second son of HENRY VII and as the third child. the first problem Henry faced in order to become heir to the throne was that he was not a first born son as the source implies that their first born son is prince Arthur born on the 20 September 1486 and he was the heir to the throne after his father the HENRY VII. Another problematic issue that HENRY VIII faced as a prince was that the amount of influence he had upon his family as the source said “Together they decided that Prince Henry, like most second sons, was destined for the church” this quota from the source suggest that as children and as a prince he had no influence or power to do other than told so by their parents.
Tom is obsessed with doing everything how the books do it and accepts the pieces of literature as fact. He is convinced that all of those events actually happened and that the only way to be successful in his little adventures is to do exactly what happened in the novels. I think Tom Sawyer is sort of like a door into the lives of the upper class. He shows Huck Finn and his rag-tag posse what more sophisticated people do and learn. Also, I feel that Mark Twain chose to make Huck Finn the better person morally because there was a stereotype back then that poor people just couldn’t be as “good” as rich people.
Obama is fortunate because he has used energetic youth through his word skills, knowledge and relations. Machiavelli states that fortune varies in men, “[He] thinks… Fortune is the mistress of one half our actions, and yet leaves the control of the other half…” (119). Machiavelli believes fortune will not work unless the ruler has spirit of energetic youth. Through Obama’s presidency it’s evident that he has maintained some political strategies similar but not exact to Machiavelli’s ideas. For Obama to be a Machiavellian prince he does not only need power, but it depends on how it’s used through military matters.
Neil Postman’s Assertion Neil Postman contrasts George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World to express that Huxley’s vision of society is more accurate today than Orwell’s. His point by point argument of the two novels explains the differences between how each author sees society. Orwell warned that society will be over powered by an exterior enforced oppression, while Huxley believed that people would like the oppression because new technologies will be created because of the oppression and people will no longer have to think for themselves. Postman’s assertion that Huxley’s vision is more applicable in today’s world seems more logical than Orwell’s vision. Postman uses a point-by-point argument to prove that Huxley’s vision is more relevant than Orwell’s.
