George Harrison

James Madison, who was the fourth president of the United States, led the country from March 4, 1809 – March 4, 1817. He is known as the “Father of Constitution”, because he wrote the first draft of the United States Constitution. He later became one of the authors of the Bill of Rights. In his first term as president he had to take on the challenge of growing tensions between the U.S and Great Britain. In my opinion Madison was more of a writer than a fighter.

Whigs decide to do away with Henry Clay and promote Harrison. Similar to Jackson, Harrison was a war hero and was promoted for being a common man of the west.

When compared to his historical peers, James Madison was boring. George Washington was the face of America, the glorious leader of the revolution. Thomas Jefferson was cool, composed, and greatly respected across the colonies. Alexander Hamilton was a brash, abrasive veteran, fearless in any situation. Madison, on the other hand, was the shadow behind Washington and Jefferson, supporting them while they stood in the limelight. Madison was never the one to deliver great speeches, even if composed…

Yet, Scorsese, as displayed in the documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World and the nonfiction T.V. series The Blues and American Masters, applies his love for music history to capture the stunning spiritual saga of an art form cultivated by what was then diametrically opposed racial identities…

I had to understand why Seurat used such a difficult technique for his work. I then came upon the theory that perhaps he wanted to produce a deeper sense of life in his paintings. All things in the world are composed of millions of cells, and these cells create objects, color, and everything that practically exists. I imagine that Seurat's motive was to utilize this scientific law in his work to give an atmosphere of life, texture, and movement in the scenes that he…
