    James M. McPherson’s book, “Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution,” explores this simple, yet difficult question on whether or not the Civil War was indeed a second American Revolution. McPherson is able to defend his opinion through his own documented lectures and published papers that the Civil War was indeed a second revolution by exploring various definitions of the word “revolution” and investigating data related to African-Americans in an antebellum and postwar America. The author additionally outlines President Lincoln’s opinion of the war, while adding some remarkable facts about Lincoln himself, the importance of the familiar stories and comparisons Lincoln used to communicate to the public, and the differences in Lincoln’s…

    Franklin’s focus on the individual reader is apparent from the opening of his autobiography. His first two words are “Dear Son”. Franklin is not addressing his literal son. It would not be in fitting with his egotistical personality that Franklin would put so much effort in for no public commendation. Rather, Franklin is addressing each reader as his son, as he hopes his work has an influence like that of a father’s.…

    Beginning in his hometown of Tudela, Benjamin set out to record as many jewish settlements as he could find and hear about. He left Tudela between 1159 and 1163 and returned in 1172/1173. During this time he visited many places listing them all in his travel diary known today as The Itinerary on Benjamin of Tudela. What is left of his itinerary today is nothing more than the town name, the distance to the town, the prominent Rabbis and scholars of the town, and the occasional description of his journey. When traveling through a large town such as Rome or Constantinople he might describe the town and its people in more detail, but this is a rare occurrence.…

    When people of our time think of people that inspire others they think of Musicians, NBA player, NFL player, actors, actress, models, and other people like them. However, rarely you do have some individuals who actually inspired by the people that have come before us. I am talking about hundreds of years before us, like Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, Thomas Edison, and Abraham Lincoln. After reading The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass I found out that were very inspirational people of their time. In other words I like to call them pioneers of the new America.…

    There is much to learn from both Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography and Frederick Douglass’ narrative. Both Franklin and Douglass’ writings include historical events. These men’s stories let us into not only their background but also a peek into their minds. Both stories tell of diligence when reading/writing. I felt I could easily relate to both stories because we all start somewhere and even when little obstacles get in the way you just have to keep trying.…

    “The Life of Samuel Johnson” is a biography written by James Boswell. This biography will be analyzed using the authority and authenticity “tool” from “A Tool Kit: Twenty-four Strategies for Reading Life Narratives” by Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson. Boswell introduces the paper by praising Johnson's literary skills, and stating that “had he employed in the preservation of his own history… the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited” (par. 1). Boswell also states that he was friends with Johnson for a little bit more than twenty years. Boswell’s authority to write the biography, and the authenticity of it, comes from his friendship with Johnson.…
