Churchill Museum: Churchill War Rooms

Decent Essays
Starting out the museum was extremely difficult to find. It was actually called Churchill War Rooms, but inside that was the museum. The museum itself was very interesting and informational. It started out with one of his quotes, ‘We are all worms, but I believe that I am a glow-worm’. He must have meant that quote in away where he was a light in everyone's darkness during WWII. The museum was a hands on environment asking questions and having to fill in blanks of what his quotes or speeches were. After exiting the churchill museum you came into the war rooms where Churchill and the Cabinet stayed for a majority of WWII. We were able to walk through their rooms, kitchen area, the offices, and the code and board room. In the museum there

    I think the coolest thing at the museum were the two displays they had one of which was a simulation of a cell and how small they were I’d say about 95% of the cell was the bed, the second thing they had was a display of an Andersonville prisoner trying to escape by digging a tunnel with a shiv. I really enjoyed the second display because it really showed the struggle of the prison and how prisoners would do anything to escape. Some of the cons of the museum were that it was almost all based on WWII POW camps there were maybe 6 plaques actually about Andersonville in the museum which I found to be slightly disappointing. Also, the museum could have been…

    Supreme Command Analysis

    The normal theory of civil-military relations contends that politicians should declare a military operation’s objective and then step aside leaving the business of war to the military. In his book, “Supreme Command,” Eliot Cohen deviates from this normalcy theory by arguing that active statesmen make the best wartime leaders, pushing their military subordinates to succeed where they might have failed if left on their own. According to Cohen civilian intervention at both strategic and operational levels was essential for military success. While Cohen’s account of civil-military relations in both Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln supports his general argument of supreme command, I find Churchill’s case more supportive based on the way he…

    Each building showing a different theme, each floor of the building shows different kind of painting and the improvement of culture. Actually I like the design of this museum. It is not like the routine regular art museum, it combines the ancient art style and fashion painting pattern together to created a time machine about where they will create this painting, and how they created this painting. Inside each floor, there is a theme shows which time period is this. We can relate to the big picture of the whole things and figure out the deep meaning of the paintings or sculptures.…

    It is often debated whether or not films can be used as a historical source. People such as Ian Jarvie, an English philosopher, argue that films are nothing more than mere entertainment. He said that “At best, film is a visual aid.”. On the other hand, you have people like French theorist, Pierre Sorlin, who said that “historians have admitted for a long time that films are important pieces of evidence for any study of the twentieth century and it is no longer necessary to justify an incursion into this field”. Films can be used as a historical source because they can put the audience in the time and in the setting of the event that the film is portraying.…

    Analysis of: “Their Finest Hour” by Winston Churchill A. 10 forms of rhetoric in the speech i) Metonymy: “We have under arms at the present time in this Island over a million and a quarter men.” Winston Churchill substitutes the Island of Great Britain with the word Island, acting as a figure of speech that means the same thing. ii) Connotation: “If Hitler can bring under his despotic control the industries of the countries he has conquered...” By referring to Hitler's control as being despotic it arouses the idea that Hitler is a man of tyrannical action.…
