Northumberland’s religious views were unclear as he seemed to drift between beliefs in order to achieve the most power possible for himself. This asserted him as a strong politician as he was able to adapt to different situations and remain powerful. On the other hand it made him unpopular with the majority as he was seen as unstable and unreliable. During his time in power, Northumberland and the country made huge steps towards Protestantism whilst maintaining no rebellions. This tells us that he had firm control of the country, and was allowing change in the safest of manors.
The reason for this was because the incumbent Sala Burton died. So as a recommendation of Sala Burton and her husband Rep. Phil Burton ran and completed Sala Burton’s term. This was the beginning of her long history in the House of Representatives. The next step of her career was gaining the position of House Minority Whip from 2002 to 2003. After her year as the House Whip she accomplished another great honor of being the House Minority Leader from 2003 to 2007.
Despite his keen intelligence, he allowed himself to come under the influence of unscrupulous men who, as much as any actions of his own, ensured that Tiberius's posthumous reputation would be unfavourable; despite his vast military experience, he oversaw the conquest of no new region for the empire; and despite his administrative abilities he showed such reluctance in running the state as to retire entirely from Rome and live out his last years in isolation on the island of Capri. His reign represents, as it were, the adolescence of the Principate as an institution. Like any adolescence, it proved a difficult time.
However, as shown in Source 6, Hitler was a ‘central figure’ and thus can be considered a strong leader. His personal popularity can be seen as a strength, with absolute loyalty from those around him. There is also the alternative view that everyone in Germany was working towards the Fuhrer, which is reiterated in Sources 3 and 4. Source 6 states that ‘Hitler often refused to take decisions’ and ‘removed himself from day to day decisions of government.’ Arguably, Hitler’s laziness and subsequent government inaction illustrates that he was indeed a weak dictator. He would rarely involve himself in government policy making and was ‘not much help in the practical business of selecting goals, reaching decisions and making policy’, further supported by Source 5.
John did not want to die with the guilt of him not confessing, “ I cannot mount the gibbet like a saint. It is a fraud!” ( Act 4, Proctor). John Proctor was a tragic hero who was positive at the very beginning to a downfall at the end. Proctors pride is what mostly caused his downfall throughout it all. John Proctor was too confident in himself and he was not looking at the end results of everything.
Not only was the country indebt but also the colonist fought so hard for their independence and their country. There was no point of starting another war within it. He even says, “Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for I have not only grown gray but almost blind in the service of my country.” This quote alone made the men rethink the nonsensical idea of a revolting
Eleanor Roosevelt Eleanor Roosevelt was a very influential woman in her life time. One of the reasons she became famous was because she was the niece of one of the greatest presidents of the United States of America. She was niece to Theodore Roosevelt. Another reason was she married the man Franklin D. Roosevelt who, interestingly enough, was he distant cousin. Her and Franklin Roosevelt had 5 children whom they raised and she became very active in politics along with her husband who had become the president of the United States of America, but she had not become active in politics until after her husbands Polio attack in 1921.
Bartleby, although seeming simple actually very carefully speaks this phrase. Bartleby in no way completely refuses to do the work presented to him but given the choice of doing it or not he “prefers” not to. If Bartleby were to simply accept the work given to him then he would be another victim to the system but by preferring to not accept the work he is expressing his right to make choices. Bartleby’s ability to make his own choices makes him an outcast of the system, as the system is what usually makes choices for the people and not the other way around. As people we are expected to abide by the choices given to us by the system and Bartleby’s refusal to do so is what baffles the
Although men were not created equally, the forefathers created different historical documents, which have a very serious theme and tone. These important documents affected the past in many good ways. “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”- the Declaration of Independence (by Thomas Jefferson). This is a very important quote, because the Declaration of Independence was a big step in history for the United States of America to become independent. This text and its quote are written in a serious tone, because it’s about a very serious theme.
Since the views of Heckscher and Cooper are completely different so are their intentions for the books. Heckscher’s thesis was that, “Wilson was a strong leader who used his strengths and his durable personality and character to make him an overall great leader.” This opposes Cooper’s thesis which showed Wilson ran our country in a selfish way trying to contribute more for himself then the people. Cooper’s greatest point was when Wilson had a stroke, he was to self-absorbed in himself to even recognize he was unable to continue being president and have a positive effect on the
