students and injuries to nine others, following protests against President Nixon April 30th speech on the U.S move to expand the Vietnam war to Cambodia. The death at Kent University would have been averted if only the U.S president at that time (Richard Nixon) was open to dialogue with the leaders of the Vietnam on that largely decisive issue of the U.S ceasing operation in the Vietnam .In addition, dialogue is not meant to decide who wins or loose a protracted argument or issue argument but…

With the talk about the upcoming presidential candidates, it is natural to look back at some of our nation’s best presidents to compare them to. One of the best and most admired presidents the United States has had is Ronald Reagan. The National Review (2015) looked back at Reagan’s presidency and why the example he set is still relevant to today’s world. Reagan “led a great American comeback” by revitalizing our military and restoring citizens’ American pride. He understood what Americans care…

Arlington Robinson’s poem, “Richard Cory,” is brimming with irony. The brilliant use of situational irony takes the seemingly perfect life of Richard Cory and surprises us all once we reach the last line of Robinson’s poem. In fact, this poem seems eerily similar to Robin Williams’ situation. Richard Cory and Robin Williams both appeared to have their lives together; both rich, always smiling and making other happy, and were both held to higher standards. However, much like Richard Cory, Robin…

The Doctrine Nixon put into place is very important in regards to U.S. history. The doctrine states “Supply weapons but not troops to countries fighting off communism.

This builds suspense and confusion, leaving the reader questioning how four shotgun blasts could end the lives on six people. Furthermore, during Capote introduction of…

After reading The Unfinished Nation: A Concise History by Alan Brinkley, black men, women and immigrants begin to migrant to American cities. They were trying to escape from the violence, persecution, poverty and debt they faced. Some were even trying to come to America where they knew indentured servants was illegal. I believe the factor that contributed to the increase growth of American cities was industrialization. Industrialization made it easier for people to travel and cheaper in result…

Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference was my book of choice to discuss in small literature circles. The Tipping Point was my first choice because I have read other pieces of Gladwell’s work and enjoyed his writing style. I found The Tipping Point riveting because Gladwell discusses the algorithm of how epidemics become triggered and take off. I took pleasure in reading the first few chapters, but Gladwell’s writing became repetitive and I became…

Taking control of the news, and controlling what the public is informed is no exception. As television entered the homes of Americans nationwide, President Johnson deployed troops into Vietnam.
