D. H. Lawrence

For my extra credit assignment, I decided to visit the George Washington Library Museum in College Station, Texas. This museum is one of the top attractions in the State of Texas because it creates both an educational and entertaining experience. My visit to the museum allowed me to gain lots of knowledge inside the life of our former president, George Bush, and his family. My visit to the museum allowed me to learn about a temporarily exhibit which was “Driven to Drive: Defining our…

Although his early career was prosperous, Reagan’s political career helped him change the world. Reagan turned from movies to politics in 1964, when he helped Barry Goldwater run for president (Ritter and Henry 12). After helping Goldwater, many conservatives influenced Reagan to run for governor of California (Orr 35). In 1966, Reagan ran against Edmund Brown for governor of California (Banks 200) and won (Sidey 143). Regan’s fame and training from Hollywood helped him win the election for…

Historians Philip Jenkins and Matthew Dallek offer differing views on the achievements completed during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. While both historians do not seem to have liked president Ronald Reagan much, they base their suggestions about his presidency’s results on at least partially historically defensible claims. Although I understand why both historians said what they did based on historical facts from Reagan’s presidency, I find myself agreeing with Philip Jenkins’s statement of…

Hughes H-4 Hercules, commonly known as the “Flying Boat” or “spruce goose” was, and still is, the largest wooden aircraft ever designed and flown5. It holds the record for having the biggest wing with a span of 320 feet, which could cover an entire football field2. Henry Fraiser was the man who first proposed the idea of the enormous flying boat based on the demand for a transport plane to support the activities of the US military during World War 24. Frasier approached the famous aircraft…

To be president of the United States of America you should have certain character traits that include conflict resolution, being a visionary, diplomacy, a sound worldview perspective, and a love for humanity. Although Donald Trump - the current GOP presidential leader - likes to brag, these are not the traits that he can brag about. If we go back to presidential cycles prior to 2008, and ask the question, could a person like Donald Trump be elected president? The answer would be a resounding no…

George H.W Bush promised that there would be no new taxes, but as the national debt increased, Bush called for new taxes and urged people to reduce spending. This outraged many conservatives and people who had voted for him in hopes of lower taxes. As a result of the soaring tax rates, the economy fell into a recession in 1981. Unemployment rates went up and many businesses went bankrupt. I don’t think Bush handled this well at all. He broke the promise that got him the presidency to millions of…

The once hollywood actor , turned sports commentator was determined to stimulate the american economy, and that he did.
