The only area of the burgundy walls that aren't covered by the mahogany shelves are a few small alcoves that hold paintings of past presidents. The earlier presidents stand in front of me. In the center, the 48th president, Felix Torres, holds a book much larger than I would have imagined. His burnt sienna eyes…

“Freedom is never given; it is won”(A.Philip Randolph). In a time of need, everyone looks to find a leader that can improve the situation. Just like in both of John F. Kennedy’s(JFK) and Patrick Henry’s lives, they stepped up and lead a group to make choices that lead to a big change. There was one big moment that outweighed the other small moments like in JFK’s “Inaugural Address” and Henry’s “Speech to the Virginia Convention.” In both of these authors speeches they use various beliefs to make…

The Inauguration of John F. Kennedy was a crucial part of how America was shaped into today. Kennedy was the thirty-fifth president of the United States and was inaugurated on January 20, 1961. Kennedy’s Inaugural speech is a very memorable piece of writing that is consistent with the idea of uniting and making America its best.

I chose this outcome because on every paper I wrote this semester I had issues with drafting, revising, editing, and proofreading my work. A lot of my…
