Jeremiah Garfield's Responsibility
Jeremiah Garfield, was an assiduous man. There has been a lot of calumny towards him to defile his career. The media had Mr.Langley a bit disgruntled, with all the false rumors and allegations. Garfield tried his best to eschew his way around the seemingly unavoidable allegations, and did not prevail. The good side of Mr.Garfield, seemed to be evanescent to the media. Garfields public relations manager, which he extolled, began to try to help him clean his mess. His P.R. told him the rumors that were spread about him to the public, were very fallacious.

The rumors were so foul, you could almost sense fetid. His P.R. helped him evade the rumors by juxtaposing his wrongs to the wrongs of others. Afterall, Jeremiah Garfield, had a modicum

    “A number seven, no pickles, with a large sprite please. Oh, can we have some extra ketchup with that as well?” This answer may resemble something near how most people would respond to Pollans question, “What should we have for dinner?” posed at the beginning of his book, The Omnivores Dilemma. Pollan breaks his book down into three major components, the preface, the process, and the person. By clearly identifying what he is examining, and through firsthand experience, Pollan was able to discuss American diet, and all that goes along with it.…

    Garfield made notable diplomatic and judiciary appointments, including a U.S. Supreme Court justice. He enhanced the powers of the presidency when he defied the powerful New York senator Roscoe Conkling by appointing William H. Robertson to the lucrative post of Collector of the Port of New York, starting a fracas that ended with Robertson's confirmation and Conkling's resignation from the Senate. Garfield advocated agricultural technology, an educated electorate, and civil rights for African-Americans. He also proposed substantial civil service reform, eventually passed by Congress in 1883 and signed into law by his successor, Chester A. Arthur, as the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act. With his term cut short by his death after only 200 days, and much of it spent in ill health trying to recover from the attack, Garfield is little-remembered in the American cultural memory other than for his assassination; historians often forego listing him in rankings of U.S. presidents due to the short length of his…

    Modern media today looks for any imperfection in a public figure, and attacks it. George Washington, in his youth, was known to be a swindler, or in other words, he stole money. Even as an adult, Washington continues such a practice. This time, he justifies his actions by his seemingly never ending quest to become a gentleman. During the French and Indian War, soldiers were recruited with the promise of land when the war had ended. When the time came for the land to be dealt out, Washington cried foul. While the recruited soldiers were to be given land for there service, the officers, one of whom Washington was, were to have served out of honor for there country alone. Through a loophole in the British doctrine promising land, Washington was able to acquire over 10,000 acres in land. In effect, Washington stole all of the land that was meant for the soldiers under his command. He also had a habit of blaming everyone else except for himself when he failed.…

    This pride and arrogance are indubitably apparent, as she "...sometimes found herself thinking that the town belonged to her" (1), and she pretentiously considers her family to be of much greater importance than they truly are by "believing that" They wanted to put up a statue of Ethan Allen,...but it should have been a statue of my grandfather." (2) In reality, if the Strangeworth family was truly as important and influential to the town as Miss Strangeworth deems, the citizens would have most likely requested for a statue of her grandfather. Nonetheless, because of this misplaced arrogance, Miss Strangeworth takes responsibility for the town as if she were its protector.…

    Honorable and infamous, courageous and alarmed, trustworthy and treasonous – one could claim that President Andrew Jackson fills the bill of each category. President Jackson’s legacy is one that is continuously being rewritten and reformed. Andrew Jackson, the man who set forth plans that would normally send men wallowing in fear, became a war hero during the War of 1812, destroyed the Second Bank of the United States, eliminated the national debt, and conquered and triumphed over the Supreme Court. In a sense a man larger than life, Jackson paved the way for the many liberties that we take for granted today. From nullification to Indian Removal, Andrew Jackson is a man who is cautiously studied. From his early childhood years to the deathbed,…
