With the technology they had at the time Joseph effectively used his gifted talents in the way of acting to but on amusing and enjoyable works of art for people of all ages to partake in and enjoy. Short scenes were necessitated by the very crude motion picture photography of the day. There was no sound, and no title cards. The performers worked in pantomime. Joseph was an extremely likeable guy because of both his works and just in how approachable he was, he was unlike actors today and took time to not only acknowledge his fans but to also interact with them on more of a friendly personal level. He was so likable that people would flock to his shows, plays, and performances not only for his well known “Rip Van Winkle” but just to see him perform because they liked him and enjoyed his warm presence.Joseph was so friendly and approachable mainly because he was such a humble person he wouldn't just rub his extraordinary skills and plays and accomplishments in people's faces, he would sit down and chat and joke with his fans and admirers. While sitting down with fans they would compliment him and say things like, “hey your works are amazing I really enjoy them and wish I could be as great and accomplish something similar”. Instead of letting it go to his head though and boast about himself, he would continue being humble and say of their nothing really and inspire others saying they could make arts just as well as he could if they tried. His actions of kindness and humbleness, made people drawn to him and would literally bring people out of their houses just to see his performances. Jefferson was also a great role model because of his personality and his actions, so much so that a fellow actor even said that he set the standard for their line of work. This caused him and many others to both respect and look up to
Thomas Jefferson was a very influential person and leader in the development of what is modern-day United States. He was a writer, lawyer, and president. He’s one of the well-known figures in U.S history. If you ever seen a twenty dollar bill, Jefferson’s face is printed in the front. Jefferson is known for his estate which is called Monticello and it means “Little Mountain” in Italian.
From what we are told, we can obviously tell that Joseph has a very difficult life as it is, “What can a crippled, speechless boy do, asked Joseph…” Nolan is telling us that Joseph thinks of himself in a negative manner. But while he may look in himself in a negative way, he is still optimistic, explaining
Jeff Smith, the most patriotic, iconic, idealistic, inovative and history knoweledgable role in the movie. Fairness is something that best describes this character and something that he stands for with pride. Being elected randomly without option of chosing wether he wants to be senator or not, Mr. Smith starts a huge war againts corrupted polticians. The biggest problem Mr. Smith has is his innocence and naive nature that he posseses. Corruage, bravery and fairness to stand in front of everyone really describe Mr. Smith as an individual that can change the world!
As a child, Joseph hears many rumours and stories about Tom’s potential “deformity and madness” however “whatever the truth might have been, it was soon lost like a delicate flower in a tangle of noxious weeds”. This shows how no one really knew the truth about Tom Leyton, as it had long been lost in a sea of rumours, meaning that whatever Joseph first heard about Tom was probably either flawed in reason or wildly exaggerated. As Joseph became closer with Tom Leyton, Joseph discovered that Tom was a “tender carer of silkworms”, “reader of poems” and “shy gift-giver”. This demonstrates that Joseph has been able to move past his initial perception of Tom and find out more about the real man. When Tom opened up to Joseph about his time in Vietnam and in hospital “the painful revelations” of his past were like “a wound that needed time to heal before life could move forward again.” This shows that even though it is very hard and even painful for Tom to talk about these things, it was very important as it allowed Joseph to fully understand Tom’s Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and experiences in Vietnam. Joseph’s final portrait of Tom depicts a “gentle smiling face” “with eyes that shone with the wonder of someone who had just witnessed a miracle.” This clearly outlines how Joseph’s initial perception of Tom was changed when he learnt about the true Tom Leyton and his final portrait of Tom demonstrates this clearly. Despite the vicious rumours that clouded the truth about Tom Leyton, Joseph was able to uncover what the real Tom Leyton was like which clearly demonstrates that what we hear about someone, in no way reflects all there is to know about
In the 18th and 19th century, Thomas Jefferson and James Maddison were very influential in American history. Jefferson was head of the Republican party throughout his presidency, while Maddison was a Federalist. Jefferson opposed large tariffs and believed that large armies, navies, and banks would lead to a Monarchy, so he cut their funding- in other words he was against what Federalists stood for.
Government had attempted to repress the split in society by not having political parties, however the growth continued to rocketed during the debates of Jefferson and Hamilton’s regards on federal authority. Hamilton was a federalist, he believed in a strong national government he wanted to give the nation additional powers. Hamilton was sympathetic towards slaves and believed in abolishment, for he had grown up in the North and wasn’t given the advantages of being wealthy but still achieved to become successful thought his hard work. He remained determined to breakout of his awful origins. Jefferson was anti-federalist; he was a firm believer in state right’s, he thought that a government with too much power might harm state authority. Jefferson’s theory was that agricultural stability would lead one to having security in society, this was one of the reason he believed slavery helped communities. He had also grown up in the South with every benefit that would have been wished for, Jefferson had little interest in business and was set on his agricultural ideas. Hamilton and Jefferson both lead such strong political groups behind them because they had the courage to make change for their people. Although both Hamilton and Jefferson had strong arguments against one another on the thoughts of a national bank and building a stronger economic plan, Hamilton’s notions has proven to be more fit for society.
Thomas Jefferson is undoubtedly one of our nation’s most historical political figures. His many honors include primary author of the Declaration of Independence, war-time governor for the state of Virginia during the American Revolution, Vice-President under John Adams, and the third President of our almighty United States of America. Thomas Jefferson made an enormous impact on the foundation of the United States, but his views and opinions on the institution of slavery are highly criticized and ultimately at odds with the Republican ideals set forth after the American Revolution. In his book, Notes one the State of Virginia, Jefferson expresses the ill-effect and moral degradation the institution has on those enslaved, yet in the same breath,
President Jefferson's presidency was more beneficial for the new American republic than, Madison's presidency due to, the achievements President Jefferson made. Such as, the acquirement of the Louisiana Territory which, doubled the U.S.’s territory. Furthermore, he reduced taxes by reducing the size of the federal government's military and retiring warships. Nevertheless, President Jefferson's presidency was only more beneficial due to, the events that transpired during his presidency. Thus, his presidency could have been very different if he and President Madison's terms were switched.
Jefferson not only shaped the nation, but also our society today. “The Declaration of Independence is a famous document for many reasons. It declared the colonies independence from Great Britain. It stated basic rights and liberties for Americans. The French used the ideals behind the Declaration as a model for their own revolution in 1789,”(Thomas Jefferson Foundation).

Jukebox musicals began in film and later shifted to theatre. They had begun to make theatre more popular with the public, which had begun to gravitate towards film and music. By combining the two, they gain some of the same as well as a whole new audience. I will discuss how this came to be by speaking of the shift that occurred.
This podcast begins with our hosts thanking their 1776 club supporters which I now assume that this is what they call any and all supporters of the show. I had been wondering what they meant whenever they had mentioned their 1776 club in the past. It’s an interesting name to give to their supporters, but it makes sense with the topics that are talked about.
Joseph had the Spirit of God, he was wise and discerning. He knew what needed to be done in any situation and he did it, he was loyal and God blessed him in all he did.
