Although we like to pretend the President of the Unites States is a perfect leader capable of leading this country to glory, no President is without scandals. They are humans just like the general population, and with every new president, rumors spread. Some turn out to be just that, but in some cases those rumors turn out to be true.Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States and during his presidency there was a report that he and a woman by the name of Sally Hemings were engaged in a sexual relationship. Jefferson got married to Martha Wayles Skeleton in 1772 and in 1773 Mrs. Hemings was brought onto Jefferson's plantation as a slave because of Martha's inheritance. Martha died in 1782 and Mrs. Hemings became close friends

In election of 1800 it was John Adams vs Thomas Jefferson for the race to become the second president. The slogan is Are you going to vote for Britain again?. John Adams is a Federalist which is a person that believes that the government should be in control. Britain had monarchy system which is what Adam as it is seems to think is the perfect system because he thinks that the government should be in charge and the people shouldn 't get a say in what is happening. Alexander Hamilton and Adams together because they had the same beliefs being federalist. Later their relationship fell apart even though they started things together which goes to show that he not very committed to what he starts and could be a down fault for the United States. Adams

A close comparison and contrast of the literary work "Sonny's Blues" written by James Baldwin and "I Stand Here Ironing" written by Tillie Olsen show similarities between the effects of the family relationships and overall themes of sin, redemption, and grace even though they have a different setting and time.

The men arrested would not speak of who sent them there but they were later traced back to Richard Nixon’s Committee to Re-Elect the President members. Nixon seemed to be in enough trouble, being moderately involved with this scandal, it was then known that the crooks had also been wiretapping the office and stole copies of top secret files. Although even to this day it is unknown if Nixon knew of the break-ins in the Watergate while it happened, it is fact that the President had sent hundreds of thousands of dollars in “hush-money” to the burglars to keep it out of the public eye. Nixon and his affiliates then began attempting to create the CIA to stop any further investigations of the FBI’s on the Watergate scandal (Staff). The former president continuously denied he was involved in the scandal, until the court ordered he handed over recordings that proved he attempted to redirect the fact-finding (“Richard”). All of this deceit only made Nixon viewed as dishonest and shady to the American people, making his impeachment seem almost predictable. But something that was not predicted was Richard Nixon’s

Andrew Jacksons’ parents immigrated from Ireland to the harsh Carolina frontiers in the 1760s.They came to the states so they could escape the poverty in Ireland, but it turned out to be equally as hard for them here. Jackson was never able to meet his father because he died while his mother was pregnant, that left him with his mom and his two older brothers to fend for themselves. Andrew Jackson grew up in a harsh environment where you had to fend for yourself because of the recurring threats of violence. During the war against the British one of Jacksons brothers died of heat stroke while in battle and the other brother and his mother died of disease. He blamed the British for making him an orphan and was vengeful because of this. People that knew him when he was a younger, knew him as someone that would get into

Andrew Jackson was a man of many accolades. He served in the Revolutionary War and was a general in the War of 1812. He aided in founding the Democratic Party and became the first governor of Florida; not to mention being the seventh President of the United States. While his list of accomplishments is extensive, it is sometimes clouded by his alleged boisterous and lewd behavior. Stemming from this behavior is an ample amount of scandalous activity, both personal and professional. From affairs that involve members of his cabinet, to actions that would lead him to being the only president to be censured by the Senate, Jackson’s political career was all but mundane.

The book Fahrenheit 451 was turned into a movie which included many similarities and differences from the book. The biggest difference was Clarisse in general because she was a teacher instead of a student, she never died when it was said she did, and her overall character was a little off due to these simple changes. There was also no war in the movie, which made it so that there was no bombing at the end so the city wasn’t destroyed. Faber also wasn’t in the movie, although he was a major character in the book because of his influence over Montag. While there were many differences there were also similarities, but they were mostly small details. The general plot was of course the same, but there was also how Montag’s opinion of the society changed over the course of the movie.

The movie, The American President, depicts several reliable roles that the president performs, as well as, some of the aspects of our political system. It is a romantic comedy that takes place in the White House, during primary season. The president, Andrew Shepperd, is a widower, with a daughter, who is hoping to be reelected and pass two bills. One related to gun control and the other on fuel restrictions.

The eye opening topics of The Twilight Zone reveal societal issues that were relevant in the 60’s when this show was first released. The black and white, 22 minute episodes each told a story while teaching lessons to the audience. This series was a popular science-fiction show during the 5 seasons it ran. Each episode highlighted a different part of society and brought light to the problems it will have if society doesn’t fix them.

Conformity is a change in behavior, which is normally caused by another person or a group of people’s thoughts or opinions of someone. When an individual is constantly told that they are a certain way, the individual will eventually begin to believe it and conform to other’s views without even realizing it. This happened to the young Emily Grierson, by a numerous amount of people, and continued to happen until the day of her death. Many can probably say that it was the main reason for her deteriorating mental condition, instability, and the strange approach of how she handled death. “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner is an unusual story about a girl with a troubled mind who is eventually pushed over the edge by the constant gossip of the townspeople and the heartbreak of a lover.

Think back to the very first time you got dumped. How did you feel? How did you react? How long did it take you to get over it? I’ve heard it said that it usually takes about one month for every three that you were together, but that’s not always the case. In the popular movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” it only took Peter Bretter one month, a trip to Hawaii, and a spontaneous hotel desk assistant to get over his newly disbanded 5-year relationship with the popular Television star, Sarah Marshall.

I love William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily.” It contains literary devices that Faulkner uses to make the short story perfect. The three literary devices that Faulkner uses are symbolism, setting and point of view. These three literary devices are what makes it an enjoyable story to read.

William Faulkner is a complex writer who knows how to set a great pace in his stories. He is also a very flexible writer which allows the openness of many topics to write on because of his unconventional style. In his short story, "A Rose for Emily", you can interpret how times are so different from today. Although it was not during slavery times, things were not much more advance than that. The dominance of gender or social roles shown on women, particularly Miss Emily, may be seen as harsh or unfair.

Including to rhyme scheme throughout each stanza.
