Rafael Trujillo In The Dominican Republic

He exemplified the ways of both a hero and a villain. However, it is my opinion that he is a villain. I believe this because he could be an extremely violent leader and because he never fully reigned over one of the places he conquered/ruled. He is a villain because he murdered thousands of people and soldiers from different nations. Alexander tortured many of his victims and then he killed them.

Trujillo was a Dictator and the President of Dominican Republic. After Hurricane Zeon hit Santo Domingo, he as a “good” governor “he was able to claim that he had protected his people from a natural disaster by rebuilding the city” (Trujillo, Rafael). Also he had a lot of power in his country thus he changed the name of his capital city from “Santo Domingo to Ciudad Trujillo” (Trujillo, Rafael). As a conclusion of his regimen he did not allow that nobody mess his name.

Batista showed his dictatorial attitudes through taking control of the university, the press and the Congress.

In fact, a factor that contributed to a large extent to Castro’s rise to power can arguably be Batista’s government. Batista’s government was the main cause of instability in Cuba from 1952 up to 1st of January 1959. Batista seized power and created a dictatorship. Moreover, adding to this dictatorship, his government was also corrupted. This factor led to Castro’s rise to power as the Cubans did not want to live under such government which used violence as a mean to control the population.

Sophocles gives purpose to Haemons’s suicide by demonstrating that its cause was not only his love but also to expose his father’s illogical and prideful actions. He states “Then she’ll die—and in her death kill someone else.” after Creon refuses to change his mind because of his pride. He states this in love because he doesn 't want to live without her so he 'll die with her. The character attempts to convey his emotional frustration as the final possible way of getting his father 's attention on this subject. His father responds by saying “are you so insolent you threaten me?” he answers “where’s the threat in challenging a bad decree”.

Knowing their fate can sometimes blind people and cause them to try to avoid the fate. In the cause of Oedipus, Antigone’s father, his father learned that Oedipus was to kill him and marry his wife, Oedipus’ own mother, so he tried to avoid that fate by banishing Oedipus. He unknowingly put into play the events that led up to Oedipus killing him and marrying his wife. When Oedipus found out, he gouged out his eyes and prophesied that his own sons would kill each other in battle. This event ultimately comes to pass (Oedipus Rex).

A community is supposed to help one another not leave eachother out. Due to the people “perceiving Sethe as a monster for having killed her child, the community projected its own guilt for its complicity in that act" (Winsbro 152). The refusal to publically own up to their guilt the people hold for not warning Sethe, creates a separation between Sethe and everyone. This in turn adds to shunning created by the fear the community holds against her. After many years of alienating Sethe’s family the community was informed of the reasoning behind Sethe’s action.

Throughout the book Malala uses pathos to get the reader to see her point of view and to get the emotions of the readers all stirred up to feel sympathy for her and anger towards the Taliban. For example during their takeover Malala remembers when “Fazlullah had set up a public court to enforce his edicts, and his men were now flogging or killing policemen, government officials, and other men and women who disobeyed him” (Malala, 48). Malala was appealing to the emotions when she included this into her story, she wanted the reader to feel her pain and what she witnessed. Another example of pathos in ‘I Am Malala’ is when one of her father's closest friends got shot his name was Zahid Khan (Malala, 124). Just like her father, Zahid Khan was an outspoken opponent of the Taliban but it just so happened that he was the unlucky one to be shot.

Romeo did just that, showing up at the Capulet’s masquerade, even if he was a Montague. Tybalt directly sought out an audience with Mercutio, a friend of Romeo’s. He purposely instigated a fight while the Montague most definitely did not want to, and it resulted with the deaths of both Tybalt and Mercutio. Juliet forgave him just about instantly, forgetting her cousin’s murder for her husband’s survival, proving how blind love can make someone. “Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?/But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my husband?/That villian cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.97.100-101) In the gang fight, Bernardo and Riff were ultimately killed.

Hoover made many political enemies when he was pressing the federal Farm Board on Congress. This turned out not to be wise decision or political move. The most positive outcome of Herbert Hoover’s presidency was successfully enforcing the Good Neighbor policy. Not only did he talk about what he was gonna do he actually walked the walk. With the Clark Memorandum passed, Hoover removed military troops from Latin American countries as well as removing numerous naval ships in the region.

The Thoughts Behind Old Hickory Andrew Jackson is possibly one of our most controversial presidents. While he did many things to help move forth the political process and helped make important decisions regarding nullification, he also further disenfranchised Native Americans as well as he was responsible for destruction of the National Bank. In order to understand why he did some of these things, one must look back at his past and the things he did. One of the first things Jackson did when he took office was allowed the people to enter the White House after his inauguration.
