- 51: Black Boy Essay
- Black Boy Essay For Richard Wright (for any black person) Mississippi was probably the worst place to grow up. The South in general was a difficult place to live; white people were continuously trying to keep black people down, from ... up and making things better for themselves. By telling black people from the time they were born that they were inferior and less human, they could effectively control the minority. These were the ideas that Richard was exposed to as he grew up, they were ingrained in him. The ideas had been so ingrained in Richards parents and grandparents minds that they would forever try to hold him back from reaching his goals. Not all the country was racist, the North was antislavery and it was the place to ...
- 52: Clinton Vs. Nixon
- Clinton vs. Nixon The resent scandal in the White House has brought my attention to the American Presidents as people and Presidents. Looking into the American history and her presidents I have found out that presidents are not just political figures but that they are also people. In my research I will compare and contrast two of the American presidents current Bill Clinton and ex-president Richard Nixon. President Clinton and President Nixon both associated themselves with criminal actions. Both the presidents misled the American public, causing personal as well as professional problems. For instance, President Clinton released a false statement about ...

- 56: Richard II
- The problem with Richard is that he is not really a man of action; he confronts and deals with difficulties by internalising and talking about them. Richard is not at all a man of his action. Whenever a problem arises, he internalises and talks to himself or the surrounding people, but does not do anything to resolve the problem. He is not ready to stand up and do something about it, and instead complains about the situation to himself. I think that it is because of this trait that Richard loses the kingship of England, and Bolingbroke, a man who is always ready to take action when a problem arises wins the throne over Richard. In the first scene, where Bolingbroke accuses Mowbray of ...
- 57: Imperial Presidency: Overview
- ... this, the presidency was able to gain a leg up on Congress. Schlesinger also discusses the actions taken within the inner sanctum of the White House.

According to Schlesinger, the result of Nixon's extreme secrecy led him to be withdrawn from the rest of the country. He eventually created his own reality within the White House. It was a self- perceived reality where he could do ...

- "Watergate" Emery begins his book by telling about how Nixon and his campaign managers were going to do whatever it took to win the presidential election for his second term. The bugging and the telephone tapes were all part of this. Nixon was a very paranoid person thinking that everyone was plotting to take him down and vote him out of office. He was very worried about losing his job to someone else. During the campaign of his second term, Nixon became very disturbed with the fact that someone could be taking his position and that he would not be in control any longer. He wanted someone outside of the government to get him some ...

- 60: Black Boy
- ... in the South in the early 1900s is not that easy, for some people tend to suffer different forms of oppression. In this case, it happens in the autobiography called Black Boy written by Richard Wright. The novel is set in the early part of the 1900s, somewhere in deep Jim Crow South. Richard Wright, who is obviously the main character, is also the protagonist. The antagonist is no one person in particular, for it takes many different forms called "oppression" in general. The main character over comes this "oppression" by rebelling against the common roles of the black, Jim Crow society. Richard Wrights character was affected in early childhood by the effects of societal oppression, but he became a great American author despite these negative factors in his life. Today everyone encounters some form of ...
