In order to uncover what one sees in the present, it is imperative to explore the past of the present. Currently, there is a debate on whether immigrants belong in America. The United States of America, also known as the home of the brave and free have encountered this question time and again. In 1919, under the Woodrow administration, Alexander Mitchell Palmer was the Attorney General of the United States. An Attorney General oversees the United States’ citizens. They are known as the…

Calvin Coolidge was a quiet and somber man whose sour expression masked a dry wit. He was known as "Silent Cal." And after learning of his ascendancy to the presidency following the death of Warren Harding in 1923, he was sworn in by his father, a justice of the peace, in the middle of the night and, displaying his famous "cool," promptly went back to bed. Coolidge was born on Independence Day, 1872, and was raised in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. His father was a pillar of the community,…

In the words of President Calvin Coolidge, “The country can regard the present with satisfaction and anticipate the future with optimism,” (Doc B).

I like the quote "Expect to be called a stand patter, but don’t be a stand patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don’t be a demagogue," in the speech given by Calvin Coolidge at Massachusetts. It might have a different meaning but to me, it means not to be what people call us. This is a common problem in the world today. We live by what people call us; our every steps and breaths are determined by people. A few weeks ago in my Chem class, a friend of mine asked me a question. She said,…

The era of "Roaring Twenties" in the United States often has another name - The Prosperity, and is characterized by rapid economic growth. The Roaring Twenties or The Jazz Age - French called it “années folles” (Crazy Years) – is a period of unprecedented change in all the spheres of life in North America and some European countries. During this period public life was to undergo dramatic changes: Victorian morality had become survival of the past, and America began to live according to new…

Since the beginning of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbles in 1985, I have been one of the great fans. The Calvin and Hobbles comic strip is about Calvin and Hobbes imaginative world.
