Robert Penn Warren’s classic novel, All the King’s Men, explores the vast heights as well as the low depths of the motives of decent citizens of the South and how the discoveries among Penn’s characters’ exploration guide them towards the defining moment in each of their lives. Warren provides his audience a backstage pass into Willie, Jack, and a few others’ mental processes – specifically how the character gets to his or her defining moment.

The dichotomy oscillates betwixt to subjects: at the surface or superficial level, Warren’s novel speaks to the issue of corrupt politics particularly in the South. In Willie Stark’s case,
Although both members of the conservative party, Butler and Churchill were political enemies, this is evident when looking at the extract: “a poor third place to the concentrated exploitation of Churchill’s personality” – this is a personal attack on Churchill’s actions.

Source 3 shows a clear disagreement though, as it states Callaghan “struggled to rule effectively until a vote of no-confidence” was called upon.

Benjamin Banneker, former slave turned farmer, astronomer, mathematician, surveyor and author utilized 3 rhetorical strategies in this excerpt to strengthen his argument. Pathos, formal diction, and repetition were used in order to evoke strong emotion and more passion. These 3 rhetorical strategies not only made his letter stronger and more passionate but it also caused Thomas Jefferson to think about the decisions that he would have to make in the near future. Pathos was used throughout the entire letter, however it was most strongly used when Banneker reflects on America’s feelings of being oppressed by the British. “look back… on the variety of dangers to which you were exposed; reflect on that time in which every human aid appeared unavailable, and in which even hope and fortitude wore the aspect of inability to the conflict and you cannot but be led to a serious and grateful sense of your miraculous and providential preservation.” Banneker is making a connection between slavery and the oppression that America has been through in order to have Jefferson relate to how slaves feel about being “under groaning captivity and cruel oppression.” In addition to Pathos, Banneker used formal diction to exhibit the vastness of being free as well as the horrors of slavery.

However, it cannot be denied the power is often the only necessary catalyst for corruption. Similar to any addiction, once started down that dark road acquisition becomes the law of the land.

INTRO ACT 1 : •The social and family setting. •Mr Birling's view of the world and political beliefs Arthur Birling is a character of many contradictions. Priestley has rightly made Mr Birling the focus of this Act as he is the head of the household. But he uses this platform as a stage to vent his own views on issues close to his heart. He alternates between extremes of concerned family man, to being a selfish self-obsessed man.

Helmholtz Watson is sought to be one of the most rebellious characters in the brave new society. He has a conflict within himself but is much interested in others. Much like John B. Watson, the man known for the Little Albert Experiment, Helmholtz is curious, but much too bored with his lifestyle.
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. extensively. However, the “center right” policies and practices of President Obama’s administration have almost completely turned its back on the three major objects of Dr. King’s wrath, enemies against which he had devoted almost his entire life – e.g. racism, poverty, and war! Again, as I stated in the above, I understand the game President Obama is playing given whom he is trying to appease and the far right of center competition he’ll be facing come the 2012 elections.
