Joseph Rudyard Kipling, a British writer and poet, was born on December 30, 1865, in Bombay, India. He died on January 18, 1936, in London, England. He is considered one of the most dominant literary figures in Victorian literature. Kipling was the eldest of two children, son of John Lockwood Kipling, principal of the Jeejeebyhoy School of Art, and Alice Macdonald, friends of followers of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Although Kipling's first five years of life were borderline perfect, in 1871 his happy world took a nosedive. To begin schooling, his parents sent him and his younger sister, Trix, to England; when they arrived, they were placed at Lorne Lodge, a boarding house in Southsea. At the "House of Desolation", Kipling was beaten frequently
The theme of following your dreams was shown multiple times throughout the movie. It means to attempt to make your fantasies into reality and never give up on it. The process of following your dreams may be painful and include sacrifices. In the movie “Rudy”, Rudy has a dream of going to Notre Dame to play football there. One example for this was the decision Rudy made to leave his friends and family to study at Notre Dame. He left his dad and fiance to study at Notre Dame. This was a sacrifice made in order for him to follow his dreams. Another example of Rudy following his dream was him attempting to raise his marks at Holy Cross, so he can play football. He wanted to play football at Notre Dame, but he didn't have the grades
In October 1774, at the First Continental Congress, Joseph Galloway pleaded to his fellow countrymen for unity between the “mother country” and America, but his impressive life within the American system was not enough to break the strong urge for independence. Galloway had chosen to be a loyalist but when he did he was declaring his home as his opposition. Joseph Galloway was a true American that had the potential to play a large part in the future democracy due to his past as a lawyer, as an elected official, and a close relationship with Benjamin Franklin, which were all shown through his appearances in Philadelphia’s Supreme Court, his elected position as Speaker in a provincial assembly, and his correspondence with Franklin. Galloway experienced success while performing his duties in the several different positions he held, but his life in America was not enough to persuade him of America’s power or how influential he could have been in America’s future. His decline in power came after his “Plan of Union” in the First Continental Congress fell short by one vote, and this led him

I find it really interesting how Kipling did what many Indian-English writers never dare to do. He transmitted his views and beliefs through his work. Criticism was not something that prevented him from stopping, it helped him find the confidence to continue. You mentioned how he also found inspiration from the different places that he lived in throughout his life: England, India, and Africa. Which influenced many of today’s writers to write about their surroundings. You also mentioned his most famous work, Kim, which I had not really heard about. Though I can now see why many people were intrigued by its plot.

I do not agree with decision of Centenary College.The liberal arts is an important thing for our college students in America. Liberal arts will make you smarter and ready for the real world. Taking these classes will make you smart and will help you get a good job. If it were me making the decision, the college would still have liberal arts classes. Cutting liberal arts would be like cutting a history class. We need classes like this to help us be successful. Many people are not taking these classes any more. According to a professor, liberal arts colleges have dropped from two hundred and two in nineteen ninety to one hundred thirty-six in two thousand nine.

"Rudy", set in 1975 is an award winning drama in which years of effort are rewarded by a brief moment of glory. The movie is based on the true story of Daniel Ruttiger, but was also known as Rudy among his family and friends. Rudy was five foot and weighed in at a hundred nothing.

Family, friends, and educational institutions put down Rudy for believing me himself. This was because in the people's opinion Rudy was too small, dumb, and poor to attend Norte Dame and
Rudyard Kipling’s attitude towards the British Empire was significantly negative. The novella essentially expressed Kipling’s feelings towards British Imperialism and his overall frustration with the British Empire. However, there are several positive qualities of the Empire pointed out by Kipling several times throughout his novella. Despite his mixed feelings, he is ultimately dissatisfied with the British Empire, claiming that it is “the White Man’s Burden”. Kipling was a steadfast imperialist, living in a time of British domination and oppression. He shared similar outlooks with the natives, that the majority of them were oppressed by the government and the wealthy. The upper class was greedy and wanted working men to do all of the work for them so that they could reap the profits. Kipling conveys his attitude towards British Imperialism through parallelism and figurative language.
