King George III makes his way through the streets of London to the House of Commons in his highly adorned chariot. It is there that he will address them on the issue of war in America. Ultimately, a debate ensues on the subject. John Wilkes – who is the Lord Mayor of London – is in opposition, and declares that a war with the colonies could be ruinous to England. If they do not succeed, England could be seen as an “implacable enemy”, which will lead to complete loss of the colonies and a degradation of the splendor that is Great Britain.
It Has Been Argued That Scene 10 is The Tragic Climax, to What Extent do You Agree With This Statement? Whilst Scene 10 of A Streetcar Named Desire is the physical climax of the play, it is clear from the language used in the book and the emotions of the characters in scene 11 coupled with Blanche's "faintly hysterical vivacity", that scene 10 is not the tragic climax. For, it is during scene 11 that the audience feels most "pity and fear" both for Blanche and the other protagonists of the play and therefore, according to Aristotle, is a perfect example of tragedy. Williams breaks the book down into several key parts which build up the audience's pity for Blanche and ultimately lead to a total catharsis of emotion from them in Scene 11. From the beginning of the play, there is a building of tension amplified by the use of stage direction and music.
Collins (2001) and his research team contrasts the good-to-great companies with a carefully select set of comparison companies that did not make the leap from good to great. “Good is the enemy of great” (Collins, 2001, p. 1). This quote assesses and makes the assumption that because a company, school, or even a government is good, they never make the transition to greatness. Acquiring the astigmatism of good are enough and sometimes this causes companies, and other individuals to become complacent, never venturing to further their status to greatness. Collins (2001) assesses that the “vast majority of companies never become great because the vast majority become quite good, and that is their main problem” (p. 3).
His voice is like butter. I’m afraid he’ll talk me back the other way I was. Only a week ago, pumping a kerosene hose, I thought: God, what fun!’”(Bradbury 85) With Faber's help, Montag returns to his job to confront Captain Beatty. Beatty recites many lines of several different works of literature, in attempt to change Montag back into a follower of society. Again, Beatty tries to bring Montag down one last time, his dying words are quoted from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: “There is no terror, Cassius, in your/ threats, for I am arm’d so strong in honesty that/ they pass me in an idle wind, which I respect not!” (Bradbury 119).
1776 David McCullough 1776 by David McCullough is a historical book written about a conflict between two nations which is Great Britain and America colonies in 1776. There are numerous people in the world reading this material source to understand American history. In this review, I would like to express my personal opinions about the book 1776 as well as David McCullough. 1776 is considered as a historical drama which begins with King George III’s declaration to war with America and conversely ends with the great victory of America in Trenton. George III, King of England, stressed very clear his commitment to defeat the rebellion through his speech toward Parliament in London on October 26, 1775.
American Revolution & Slavery | Progress for slavery in times of opposition | | "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God.

When King George III refused the petition, the Continental Congress had no choice but to take charge over the war for the colonists. They sent out commissioners all over Europe to try to convince others, like France and Spain, to join their war effort against the British. Meanwhile, delegates of the Congress in Philadelphia drafted the Declaration of Independence in June 1776, and on July 4th, 1776, all delegates at the Congress signed off on the document, which officially ceded any ties the colonists had with Great Britain. This document impressed many onlookers of the American Revolution, and convinced Spain and France to ally with the young nation in order to fight the British (“Declaration of Independence”). When grievances with Great Britain first began, a small minority of people considered declaring themselves an independent nation.
This came into play in 1898 during the Spanish-American War, when Hearst was quoted telling a photographer who was complaining that there was no war in Cuba, “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.” By saying this, Hearst was hinting that he would sensationalize the explosion into war if pictures were leaked. By proof of evidence to support his accusations that the Spanish did explode the USS Maine, he controlled the people’s opinion by convincing them how awful the Spanish were, further provoking a war, further gaining fame and fortune for having a voice that could control the fate of a nation. The explosion parallels to the destruction of the Twin Towers that happened in New York and also the destruction of the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Both of the attacks shocked the nation, but also sparked tensions for waging a war. All over the news such as CNN the towers falling down was aired a prodigious amount repeatedly, and the media shed a light on the perpetrators of the attacks who were believed to be Osama Bin Laden and the Al-Qaeda.
The editorial “Time for the very last puff”, in the Daily Messenger on the 3rd of July 2007, the author attempts to persuade readers that all cigarettes should be banned. He made his point clear with an anxious tone and he uses words of the metaphor “war” to make the editorial seem urgent, so the reader feels they should act straight away. The author begins with a rhetorical question “Should hospital, of all places, allow this to happen?” this positions the reader to agree by assuming the position of the editor. Suggesting that hospitals of all places should not encourage smoking. The reader thinks about how hospitals are supposed to help individuals get better but instead seeing others around hospitals smoking makes it okay.
