We examine how Cannon portrays Reagan, which is in a manner that illustrates a unique character that somehow existed in a fantasy world in many ways. He was a unique man and Cannon illustrates this in a very unbiased manner. Cannon merely presents the reader with the incidents and realities that involved this man while he was in office.

Rhetorical Analysis/Bush's Speech of 9/11/02
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that summarizes, discusses and analyzes the rhetorical strategies that President George W. Bush used in his speech of 9/11/02, the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the country in 2001. The writer argues that the speech is grounded in the extreme emotions generated by the attacks of 9/11. Using this as a foundation, President Bush endeavors to stir up patriotic feeling, mixed with feelings of outrage and sorrow, against an enemy that is pictured as not like "the rest of us" who believe in the sanctity of life, but rather as people who are inhuman and evil. In so doing, he copies a strategy that has been employed by leaders in every war, in every century, because it is only by looking at one's enemy as "other" that people can bring themselves to attack fellow human beings.

Richard Nixon And Watergate: Turning Point
[ send me this essay ]
11 pages in length. Watergate proved to be the most significant turning point in the life of America's thirty-seventh president, Richard M. Nixon, as well as one of the significant turning points in American politics, as well. The scandal that took place in 1972 at Washington, D.C.'s Watergate apartment and office complex became the president's worst nightmare, inasmuch as he was caught virtually red-handed as the primary conspirator in the Democratic National Committee headquarters break-in. This infamous occurrence sparked an investigation that uncovered secretly made audio tapes of conversations that Nixon had with several top-positioned government employees attempting to secure Nixon's re-election by illegally – and unethically – infiltrating the opposition's home office. Indeed, Nixon's world came crashing down when the investigative trail lead directly to his authorization of such damning activity; it would take two years after this discovery for the president to resign in order to avoid being impeached. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Richard Russell & LBJ
[ send me this essay ]
An 18 page research paper that examines the question of whether or not Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia, as Lyndon Johnson's mentor while LBJ was in the Senate had a significant influence over Johnson's handling of the Vietnam War. The writer argues that, in some ways, Russell was quite influential. However, examination of the historical record shows that, on the whole, Johnson followed other advisers more closely than he did Russell. Russell's advice, like the situation itself, was frequently ambiguous and did not offer Johnson a clear-cut path. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
