We are Seven

Nelson Mandela once said that “There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Although, Nelson Mandela isn’t an actor and doesn’t even have anything to do with the show business he still is an inspiration to many. I relate to this quote in many ways; one way I relate to this quote is that I feel that anyone can accomplish what they want if they try harder. Also, people shouldn’t see themselves as less then what they…

In the movie “We Were Solders” directed by Randall Wallace is a must watch film. The film is about the Vietnam War, mainly the first battle against the Americans and the Vietnam army. The majority of the movie took place in a football sized battle field that is where the American army was fighting against the Vietnam army.

Careful analysis of Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried” and Harold Moore’s and Joseph Galloway’s “We Were Soldiers Once… And Young” reveals two markedly different portrayals of the United States’ army during the Vietnam War. This change mirrors the dwindling optimism of the American people from Moore and Galloway’s account of the 1965 Battle of la Drang and O’Brien’s more comprehensive account of the later stages of the war and post-war period.

In The Eulogy for Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, we see the differences these two leaders made, not only in their lives, but the lives of everyone who has been oppressed. Mandela and Gandhi both fought for freedom, but Mandela has more evidence then Gandhi overall. First, Gandhi cared a lot about…

He led several campaigns and protests in South Africa against the apartheid system. This system separated the South African people by their skin colors. Therefore white and black Africans did not have the same and equal rights. Due to Mandela’s actions, the leaders in South Africa who supported racial…

Task 1 Why is he a role model for so many people in the word? Mandela got prisoned in South Africa under the Apartheid regime because of his political opinions. But that was not the only reason. It was because of his skin color, because he was a black man with strong opinions. This was not allowed in the country in that period, because the leaders were afraid of black people with strong voices. The way Nelson Mandela is a role model for so many people in the world, must be of his forgiveness.…
