Mahatma Gandhi: Gandhi was born in Porbandar, India in 1869 and died in 1948. He was western educated, specifically trained in England. Although he was a nationalist, he was anti-modern because he was skeptical to industrialism. He believed in the ideal of satyagraha, the non-tolerance of evil, but also the understanding that violence is not the answer to that evil. He also believed in non-violence. He did not cooperate with anything British, specifically trading with the British, British schooling or products, and even paying taxes to the British. He served as a civil rights activist after being thrown off a train when refusing to move from his seat in first class. He became the leading member of Congress Party in the 1930’s and shortly after participated in the March to Sea for salt during the British imposed salt tax.

Not very many people saw him as a threat and they say him as a way to help overcome all of the horrible trauma that the Muslims had to go through. As we watched the movie we also saw that Gandhi wanted to minimize the violence and the horrible thoughts of others in the world. Gandhi just wanted to do what he loved which including being a lawyer but as the man said on the train was “No colored man should do the job of a man who isn’t colored.” “Nor should the colored sit in first class when he doesn’t deserve it.” Gandhi insisted on trying to fight them on it but then was thrown off at the next bus stop where he began to think differently about the whole situation and began to make a change. Throughout the big change it came with many horrible things including many violent outbreaks, beatings, and fasting. Gandhi fasted so many times throughout all of it and he even told people that he would continue to fast until the violence stopped. Gandhi was then sent to prison and was able to get out and then was thrown back in. His wife and kids had to grow up and fight this whole thing without him and they really did the best job they could. Gandhi later died after really make the difference when a man made it look like he was going to bow down and praise him but instead pulled a gun, shooting him three times and killing him right on spot, his last time to travel and he died right before. With the help of his friends his ashes were spread throughout the ocean in which he would’ve

There’s no doubt about it, that Gandhi was a great mean, out spoken and very influential but he wasn’t always that way.

During Shakespeare’s time, the societal norms that cultivated women were very precise. Women were held to high standards to look certain and act in a specific way, but did society ever take it too far? Many poets during Shakespeare’s time wrote blazon sonnets, ones that compared women to the most wondrous things life has to offer; gems, jewels, plants, and stars. Such beautiful comparisons, but so unrealistic and degrading. Women had become a collection of objects rather than human, but Shakespeare shed some light on the matter at hand and presented a new way of thinking. In Shakespeare’s My Mistress’ Eyes, he purposefully contradicts the typical blazon tradition, uses enjambment, and uses rhyme schemes to create a sonnet which serves as a statement that disowns the societal views on women.
