Cesar Gutierrez Jr. History 1301 George Washington When thinking of George Washington, first president of the U.S. is probably the first fact that comes to mind. We grow up learning that at such a young age, and sadly that’s probably the only thing some know about him. The numerous amounts of victories in such difficult battles is quite mind blowing, leaves you wondering where we’d be if it wasn’t for him. Which is why George Washing is known as the Father of the U.S. and many will argue, the best president of the U.S. by far. Washington was born on February 22,1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia and was the first son of his father Augustine Washington and his second wife Mary B. Washington.

“Reading’s in United States History”, I chose to focus on a piece of work which caught my eye from one Sheila L. Skemp, called “Patriot Father, Loyalist Son”. This caught my attention the most out of all the essays’ I read from Part II: Era of Revolution. In this essay I will examine the relationship of Benjamin and William Franklin, and how this founding father and his loyalist son had extremely different views on the American Revolution in an otherwise abnormal relationship. I will be summarizing this essay, critiquing the authors’ point of view, style of writing and finish by including my thoughts and opinions on this essay. Like most of the essays in this book, it starts off with a very well written and detailed prologue to bring the reader up to speed about what is going on in history around the subject, in this case the years leading up to the American Revolution.

Verne became one of the most devoted admirers of the American author, and wrote his first science fiction tale, 'An voyage in Balloon' (1851), under the influence of Poe. Later Verne would write a sequel to Poe's unfinished novel, Narrative of a Gordon Pym, entitled The Sphinz of the Ice-Fileds (1897). When his career as an author progressed slowly, Verne turned to stockbroking, an occupation which he held until his successful tale Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863) in the series VOYAGES EXTRAORDINAIRES. Verne had met in 1862 Pierre Jules Hetzel, a publisher and writer for children, who started to publish Verne's 'Extraordinary Journeys'. This cooperation lasted until the end of Verne's career.
It wasn’t until almost two decades later, when Besson paired up with screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen, that the main character, and subsequently the film name was changed to suit a wider, more commercial market. [2] Besson then, very cleverly in my opinion, employed his two favourite childhood comic book artists Moebius and Mèziéres as production designers for the fifth element, asking them to create a twenty-third century New York City. Having two such production designers who have influenced the story so heavily gave The Fifth Element as close a look as possible to what Besson had imagined when he was sixteen. This along with Besson’s very centred photographic style with one point perspectives fixed right across the camera lens reflects somewhat the difference between the American comic book tradition and the French graphic artist heritage, and helps give this futuristic New York City a very European feel. [3] Moebius and Mèziéres were given almost free reign in their drawings and created the twenty-third century New York by upwardly extending the existing buildings making the city
