The "Whig interpretation," as Butterfield calls it, sees history as a struggle between a progression of good libertarian parties and evil reactionary forces, failing to do justice to history's true complexity. The word Whig has its origins in the seventeenth century as a term of abuse against political opponents, and has become a convenient label for one historian to attach to another as a mark of scorn. In Butterfields work, he criticized historians who wrote present-minded history and, in so doing, fell with an echoing thud into traps, which superior historians must avoid. Through Butterfields five sweeping chapters, he makes three remarks that answer the question, why, despite the scolding of an entire discipline do modern historians seem to be drawn to anachronism, or as
1) ‘ The views of J.M. Keynes were the most important factor in explaining Britain’s treatment of Germany in the years following the Treaty of Versailles until 1929.’ Explain why you agree or disagree with this view. (24 marks) John Maynard Keynes, an economist and financial representative for the Treasury during the Treaty of Versailles of 1929, held bold and influential views about the treatment of Germany. The question is, how powerful were these views in affecting the actions and policies of the British government towards Germany in the years which followed? When Keynes rejected the scale of reparations placed on Germany and resigned from his post at the Treasury, he lead the way for what many leading politicians were to understand later on.
Daisy Buchanan is the wife of Tom, and Gatsby’s former lover – although he still had desires for her - and Nick’s cousin. Gatsby and Daisy drove in Tom’s car, while Tom, Nick and Jordan drove in Gatsby’s car. On the way into the city, the group in Gatsby’s car stopped at George Wilson’s garage to refill the fuel tank of the car. Wilson reportedly looked extremely ill and claimed that this came from his discovery of his wife’s affair. He was unaware that her affair had been with Tom, who was a frequent customer of his.
About an hour after takeoff the planes engine stopped working and the pilot lost all control he had over the plane. The plane crashed on the beach of an unmarked island, just off the Pacific Ocean.
No one came in advance despite the fact he left a note as well. 2. The characters we meet in the opening scene are Mr. Smith. We see that he is going through some mental issues because he tries to fly off the top of Mercy Hospital. Unsurprisingly, he falls to his death because he is not able to fly.
This instance is quietly the same with Marie Rossi’s case, Lt. Kara Hultgreen- the first woman flied F-14 fighter died in October 1994 because of loss of control when she crashed into the sea. In this point, the idea is not strong enough because it is much more about the individual, not collective. In fact, every people are stressed at wars, so the way he gave examples and idea is not convincing for the women
(By noting that there is a young female hotel employee in the passenger seat, Fitzgerald suggests that the accident also endangers Tom’s marriage.) Leaving Gatsby’s party, a drunken buffoon crashes his car and loses a wheel: The man’s status symbol exposes him as a weak fool. Though beautiful, Gatsby’s leather seats heat up and burn him toward the end of the novel. A speeding car is responsible for Myrtle’s death, and Jordan Baker describes her ruined love affair in terms of physical injuries and “bad drivers.” The exhilarating joy ride that takes Nick
What is really being articulated is that ‘we are living in a time of change’ modern society is a society based on the freedom to choose our actions as they are no longer ordaned by a religon. Bell states that ‘God lives in silence.’ This is evoking of Nitzchian assumptiong that ‘God is dead and we killed him.’ However this is not a pessimistic view that society is heading for damnation,
After my mother was able to calm down, and my father returned from work, they sat me down to explain what had happened. They told me that many innocent people had died in plane crashes that day, and that some very bad people had killed them all for no
Amir felt the reason Baba was always distant and seemed cut off, was because he was torn inside after the death of his beloved wife, which Amir had killed at delivery. “It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime...” This evidence shows how the one event at twelve years old has molded his entire life. “I became what I am today at the age of twelve.” At twelve years old Amir witnessed the rape of his childhood friend and brother Hassan. This example shows that Amir felt his entire life was shaped by the memory of the rape that happened at twelve years old. Amir lived the rest of his life trying to deal with the guilt and hide from the memory of that horrific
