While we may often look to celebrities such as Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian, because of their fame and fortune, real heroes exhibit more inspiring qualities that reach beyond that of a self-fulfilling celebrity. Moreover, real heroes sacrifice their safety or set an example for many generations to follow through humility, passion, and intelligence. Thus, Billy Graham is my personal hero because he shares his passion for the Gospel and leads many people to faith in Jesus Christ. Further,…
there a many despairing views on how that should be done, one major idea is privatizing parts of the U.S. Government and make it run more like a business. With the recent news of Donald Trump appointing his son-in-law Jared Kushner to lead the White House Office of American Innovation; one might expect that very thing to happen. Kushner appears to be implementing the reform process of reengineering to stabilize the government which clearly demonstrates flaws the system has and the differences…
long hours at work. The setting of the story has a feel of a small quite town in middle of nowhere. Where there are dirt roads to get to houses. Houses were spread out from mile to mile. There at the end of the road sits a house with a big willow tree of front. A two story white house with a front deck. The time feels of the nineteen fifty’s. Inside the house sit an old comfortable arm chair. The window lay open and looking out you can see the wind blow the top of the trees. The arm chair…
Every morning I am up early, before anyone else in my household. Even before my husband, William, I let him sleep, he will wake up when he needs to. If I notice anyone heading outside to work and he's not up at that time, I will start worrying. For now, though I have to get the children's lunches, including his, ready, or they won't have lunch for the day. This is typical, wake up, pack lunch for my husband, and my two little girls, Evelyn and Marie. When I check that their lunches ready, I go…
taken advantage of his power, and this was revenge. The plan was to appear in the White House in disguise. We would all show up as maids taking jobs at the White House. My mom couldn’t be in on the plan. Travon knew her too well. Jedda, Olivia, Isabelle and I were going into action tomorrow morning at 10:30 on the dot. I was excited. The next morning, we put on our tacky maid outfits and headed over to the White House. When we got there, we were greeted by the Secret Service. They asked for our…
I would consider the article “ Donald Trump for President” as the more effective because it uses examples to support its argument why the author is voting for Donald Trump. The author mentions that Clinton will follow the same path of president Obama, and will increase the U.S’s debt. However, Trump will bring corporations, create new jobs, and advocate for lower taxes, and will lead to the prosperity of the county. Also, this article mentions the first and second amendment that could appeal…
This is not a recent development; Americans have been apathetic to tragedies since before World War II. Elie Wiesel, a man who became a human’s rights activist after residing in Buchenwald and Auschwitz for two years at age fifteen, spoke at the White House about The Perils of Indifference during the 1999 Millennium Lecture series. His speech urges the audience to take action against injustices rather than remaining indifferent to human suffering. Wiesel takes advantage of the timing of his…
the election would be one that targets Hillary Clinton. I have hardly seen ads that aren’t approved by Hillary Clinton about the election, which is why I was so surprised to see find this ad online. This ad starts out by showing a picture of the White House, and in the background, it appears to be storming. While this depressing scene is being displayed, a fast beat starts and a voice begins to speak about how the next president will have major challenges to overcome. Next it goes to a war…
attacks of September 11th and in the midst of armed conflict in the Middle East, superstitions presumed that a Muslim president would sympathize closely with religious extremists. Blitt unequivocally addresses this, illustrating Obama in a turban and white robe under a similarly dressed Osama Bin Laden in the painting above, a commonly known terrorist figure. The presence of both in the Oval Office suggests a working relationship between the President and a religious extremist. After Obama’s…
was the first black child to attend an all white elementary school. In the 1960s schools, restrooms, drinking fountains, restaurants and more were segregated. There were different places for different races and if you disobeyed the law it was a punishable offence. First and foremost, “Ruby Bridges will be forever remembered as the tiniest foot soldier in the civil rights movement, chosen at just 6 years old, to be the first black child to attend an all-white elementary school in the Deep South”…
