Winston Churchill Quote Analysis
I chose my quote by Winston Churchill because I instantly agreed with it upon reading the short but powerful quote. In Winston Churchill’s quote, he expresses to the reader how people that show considerable character in great moments developed that character in small moments, when nobody noticed. I believe these words are wise because they show the reader that you must endure challenges with little or no public reward before you can get any recognition in a big way. Also, a deeper meaning behind the quote could be that people in high positions earned their rank through hard work and dedication, when nobody knew who they were or cared. The graphic I chose for this project is a man helping an elderly women cross the road. I believe this goes

    Ta-Nehisi Coates poses an inquisition about how Whites haven't made the past right. Coates states simply that Whites never truely made it up to the Blacks for slavery. The Whites had just said, "we meant well" and moved on. Coates brings this up by comparing the Whites "good intentions" to a sleeping pill. The idea of "good intention" is seen throughout history, not just American but worldwide. But how could one apologize for the past and make it right with those wronged? It's near impossible question to answer. Because how does one apologize for something that is like slavery?…

    As we discussed in class, Winston Churchill has made many pivotal decisions that have resulted in failure. In January of 1915, he sent over 100 ships to set sail for one of the largest invasions, but it failed miserably. It resulted in the deaths of 56,000 allied troops and nearly 200,000 were either missing or injured. Churchill was ordered to resign but after a long break he returns to the government, stronger than ever. He never lost his enthusiasm even when he was asked to leave, and because of that he became even more successful. To go along with the historical significance of this quote, there is also an appreciable personal significance. This quote can be applied to anyone's life. It shows how everyone should persevere and never give up. Also that everyone should try their hardest and never lose faith, just as Churchill…

    Thirdly, purpose can be used to help the reader determine the tone of text because it demonstrates how a speaker conveyed this context and what the speaker was trying to spark in the audience. Quote by Tom Clancy says, “The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.” Roughly translates that the difference between reality and fiction would be that fiction has to be understandable. Reality doesn’t necessarily need an explanation, it is what it is. Most people are more likely to question fiction rather than questioning reality due to the fear of being wrong. Fear is a strong emotion that thrives in every human being in the world. Fear can either motivate or it intimidate a person, it all depends on who the person is. That…

    In his book Human Rights and Global Diversity, Robert Paul Churchill aims to identify and emphasize the universality of human rights, arguing that “human beings everywhere have the same human right” (Churchill xi). Churchill proposes that cross-cultural negotiations must be implemented to bridge the gap between cultural differences and gain international consensus of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). With respect to valuing the UDHR and promoting universal human rights regardless of culture, the best method of cross-cultural negotiation is the transformational strategy. This method would be the most successful because its broad use of human rights language allows for worldwide communication and participation, thus eliminating…

    According to Seneca, a Roman philosopher, “The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.” In other words, the boldest thing in this world is to see an honorable person fighting against misfortune, and never give up. I agree with this statement because it happens in real life and in literature. A man who goes against tragedy caused by nature, human or himself is considered great and honorable. Two works of literature that illustrate the quote as I have explained it are Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe and Night by Elie Wiesel.…

    Churchill creates a sense of urgency in his speech "Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat". He is trying to convey the messages that the war needs to be won, and that parliament and the people need to get behind his government for that to happen. By analyzing his tone, word choice, and rhythm, we can interpret his opinion and the sense of urgency. In paragraph 2 it says, "It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. "…

    He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something downright detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why. He must be deformed somewhere; he gives a strong feeling of deformity, although I couldn’t specify the point. He’s an extraordinary-looking man, and yet I really can name nothing out of the way. No, sir; I can make no hand of it; I can’t describe him. And it’s not want of memory; for I declare I can see him this moment.…

    Benjamin Franklin once said “If your head is wax, don’t walk in the sun”. Franklin had created an aphorism. Webster’s dictionary defines an aphorism as “a short phrase that expresses a true or wise idea” (Aphorism). Franklin modified most of his aphorisms to correspond with traditional or folk sayings, known as proverbs. This aphorism is parallel to a Russian proverb that instructs, “One who sits between two chairs may easily fall down”. What do these proverbs mean? How are they similar? Why do different cultures preserve similar kinds of wisdom? All of these questions can be answered by first knowing who Benjamin Franklin was, and understanding how these aphorisms reflect the time period in which they were created in.…

    The Little Prince’s planet could be a metaphor for a number of things. My interpretation is that the Little Prince living on his own little planet is equal to a person that lives in their mind, or in “their own little world”. So really I view the little planet as a smaller simpler view of the world. And when I apply that perspective to this quote, it takes on a whole new meaning. The Little Prince spends a few minutes each day tearing up the baobabs that grow on his planet. As a metaphor, this seems to me to be akin to meditation, or something similar. At least a few minutes each day, I suppose, should be spent in the mind, sorting out one’s thoughts and pulling up the baobabs. If you spend too much time outside your little world in the adult world, there is a good chance that the baobabs will grow too large and outgrow your little world.…
