John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was born May 29th, 1917 and died November 22nd, 1963. Kennedy being the youngest president elected, his wife and himself gave a youthful energy to the White House. Although he lived a short life he was able to accomplish much, especially during his presidency. In the 1960 election, John F. Kennedy won over Richard Nixon. During his inaugural speech one of his main points was when he said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but…

Louis Brandeis, First Jewish Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, inspires me on many different levels. He was the nationally known “people’s attorney,” from Boston and was one of the country’s most celebrated progressive reformers. He was also one of Woodrow Wilson’s most influential advisors and political confidants since his campaign for presidency in 1912. Following Wilson’s victory, Brandeis played a major role in helping to shape the President’s “New Freedom,” economic…

She urges her audience to join her in her fight for defunding Planned Parenthood. Unlike Kennedy, she uses her personal experience to emphasize her point of view. She uses her own survival from saline abortion to prove her points that Planned Parenthood is an evil…

The 1940’s were a decade of great change in America. In 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor; the first ever attack on U.S. soil, in 1944 American troops landed in Nazi-occupied Europe, and in 1945 the microwave oven was introduced to America. There was another great change taking place, but in the world of jazz music -- a new sound was developing that would alter the genre forever, pioneered by such people as Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Thelonious Monk. As 1940 was coming to a close, a…

unseen multitude,” (Kennedy 420). This implies Goodman Brown perceived himself as alone in the forest when in fact, he just could not see the others who were hidden in the trees. Identically, Mama’s perception of her daughters is also quite limited. She tells the reader that she thinks “Dee is lighter than Maggie, with nicer hair and a fuller figure,” (Kennedy 456) while her younger daughter, Maggie, “knows she is not bright.

mildly warm day with the kind of clouds that are a smokey gray with a dash of sunlight emerging from behind them. In the background, the sounds of my family along with Seahawks game coming from the living room was undeniable. We’re both stuffed from the delicious burgers we’d just eaten from red robins. As a child, my nana left Germany with her family as refugees at the very young age of 3. Once they arrived in Ellis Island, New York, they then…
