1. Apparently Nixon had a falling and rising career. One of his personality traits was anger. “Nixon was only one of the most hated figures of his time, and yet he was also the only man who was elected twice as Vice President and twice as President” (Freidrich, 334). President Nixon’s personality is serious, angry, and forceful. He had high expectations from everyone he worked with and if he didn’t get what he wanted. Most likely he was going to have something to say and it wasn’t going to be…
On August 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon became the first President to resign from his position. He was facing impeachment and criminal trial for the Watergate Scandal. With no where to turn and his options run out, Nixon gave his last speech as President, where he resigned and apologized to the nation. Nixon’s resignation speech does not meet the expectations of a fitting response, as defined by Lloyd Bitzer, for the rhetorical situation he was in following the Watergate scandal. Nixon…
The Watergate incident simultaneously had the three results of changing the American people’s public view of the president, the relationship between the government and media, and the media from a somewhat collaborative to competitive industry. These all contributed to several areas of exploration. On June 17, 1972, five men were taken into custody for the act of burglary. They were found lurking inside the Democratic National Committee headquarters which was in Washington D.C. inside the…
were impersonated on Saturday Night Live. Comedian Chevy Chase’s impersonation of President Gerald Ford became part of political parody lore because of how blunt and physical of an impersonation he did. Though Chase did very little too look like President Ford he rather just continued the joke of falling down a lot, after seeing news footage depicting falling down on several occasions. President Ford acknowledge the actor for impersonation but remarks offer the self-deprecating humor to play…
tackled the Western better than John Ford. Shawn Dwyer a classic movie expert states, “if there was ever a director-actor tandem that defined the Western genre, it was John Ford and John Wayne” (Dwyer 1). His film Stagecoach was the first of it’s kind in the film industry as being the first talking picture in the Western genre. The film included everything known to the classic Western, however, Ford wanted to question some aspects of the genre.What John Ford did to the plot and the character…

Nah i'm just kidding, it's being robbed by some dudes in mask. To whoever finds this letter, tell my children I love them and my boyfriend to take the trash out. Also tell the police that there are four men, middle age, most definitely white, and definitely tall most likely 6’5. The leader has a red face mask on, he has brown hair and i believe he has green eyes. His number two has a blue mask and a diamond tattoo on his neck. Kind of like my boyfriends. The men robbing the bank don’t know about…
The Thrill in the Kill…….And What it Does After Elham I. 8-1 I’m a deadbeat. There is no way to sugarcoat it (and frankly, I don’t want to). Being as profound and logical as I am, I decided to do something aside from my part-job at a convenience store: rob a bank. I probably would have gotten myself killed, but hey, no more having to reject minors for alcohol, right? Ember sprinkled my lap as I lit my cigarette. We were in the van headed toward the bank. I looked at my fellow criminals:…

Ronald Regan many felt as if he did care for the people. With Gerald Ford when he came into office the US was already in a…
Although Ronald Reagan was a tremendous president he was also a abundant actor. He was in movies and television shows he starred in some and co-starred in others. People today know Ronald Reagan because of his presidency, he was also an actor as well, people today don’t know of him as a wonderful movie star that he was, they know him as the fortieth president. After Reagan graduated he started a job at the WOC in Davenport, Iowa as a radio sportscaster. Then he found himself working for the NBC…
