From the rousing introduction, Chris Mathews' Hardball presents itself as a godsend to young aspiring politicians, businessmen, and frankly, everyone alike. Pompously self-assured, Mathews discusses his reasoning to sharing his wisdom collected from his own experience and other major players in "Hardball". However after finishing the book, his audacity could be forgiven by the enjoyable nature of his work, the information it provides, and the uncanny resemblance to Benjamin Franklin's writing style. In the first section of Mathews' self-proclaimed "classic" and political manifesto, he presents the world of politics through a series of informative--if not redundant--phrases, historical examples, and his own experience in Washington.

Journal Prompt #5: Do some research on Phyllis Wheatley’s life or work. List the sources, and discuss the info.

The life of Harry Connick Jr. leads an entirely different arc. Harry Connick Jr. is entirely the opposite of James Carroll Booker III as he leads a drug-free lifestyle, is married and incredibly famous. Harry is known as an actor, musician, producer and American Idol host: he has become a household name among most Americans. However, what they share is their indentured servitude to the belief, playing styles and traditions that unite them as New Orleans pianists. Born on September 11, 1967 in New Orleans, LA, Joseph Harry Fowler Connick, Jr was born into a family of lawyers. His mother, Anita Frances, who was a lawyer, judge and later a Louisiana Supreme Court justice and his father, Joseph Harry Fowler Connick, Sr., who served from 1973-2003 as district attorney Orleans

Phyllis Wheatley was one of the best poets ever. She was the first ever African American poet. This paper will be about her early life, adult life and her contribution to the Revolutionary War.

Tim O’Brien is similar to the character ‘Tim” in the story. Both characters lived in insulated communities located in several states growing up. Tim O’Brien graduated from Macalester College before being drafted into the military during 1968. O’Brien was known to be against the war and started writing intensely after learning he was drafted. After entering the war he moved from solider to sergeant and overall took no serious injury. O’Brien went on to study at Harvard and work for The Washington Post. O’Brien wrote about the war and was published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s Esquire, and Playboy. O’Brien went through many mental and emotional struggles but worked through them by writings through his

Francis Bernard Cullen had already tried to join the marines when he was 16 to fight in World War Two but his plan was figured out when his records showed he wasn’t 18 so he was sent back to his so far lackluster adolescent life. For work he would pursue real estate in the exciting city of Buffalo, New York he grew up in. After moving to Massachusetts and feeling he wasn’t reaching his full potential, the Vietnam war broke out. Accepting the call for action, he enlisted into the Vietnam War. Right when he thought it all figured out he met Jacklyn Moore the love of his life. They would have 2 kids before he was stationed. When he was called for action he did a total of 3 tours. While in Vietnam he was co-piloting a helicopter when he was shot

According to William Scheick Phillis Wheatley was “the first African American and the second colonial American woman to publish a book.” (Scheick). At the age of eight the Wheatley’s enslaved her. Her name Phillis was given to her by the Wheatley’s because it was the name of the ship she was brought over on from Africa to America. She was an African American enslave women that was taught to read, and write at a younger age back when educating enslaved or free African Americans was discouraged. She also was taught the way of Christianity and was converted from Pagan to Christianity. “In intervals between her chores, she was tutored in English, Latin, and Bible studies.” (Scheick).

He describes, “I realize that in the important ways I haven’t changed at all. I was Timmy then; now I’m Tim...The human life is all one thing, like a blade tracing loops on ice: a little kid, a twenty-three-year-old infantry sergeant, a middle-aged writer knowing guilt and sorrow” (223). “Timmy” was the narrator’s nickname as a kid in elementary school, implying his childhood innocence and naivety before he went to war. He described his life in three major stages: the first being “a little kid,” or Timmy, followed by his time in combat, in which he was often referred to as O’Brien, and then his current life as “a middle-aged writer knowing guilt and sorrow,” also known as Tim. While there were transitions in his life that took place between these stages, he chose to focus on the three most prominent of those phases; the exposition as a child, the climax as a soldier, and the resolution as a middle-aged author writing about his experiences in the war. When he was first drafted, he expected to change in a major way during the time that he served, but while he looked back with a writer’s point of view, he discovers that he is still the same person that he was before the war itself. This was utterly disappointing to the protagonist, who thought he was a changed man. If nothing is gained or lost from an experience, there is no point and no value in said event occurring in the first

However, to condemn those in positions of power for their actions is to misinterpret the volatile climate of the Cold War Era in which they operated. The polarized political thought and the turbulent domestic events that shadowed everyday life had a profound impact on American thought and culture and the lives of public figures who dominate the story. To truly understand the impact of these characters and the climate of the American Cold War theatre, the complexity of the dynamics within society must be understood from the point of view and the

Throughout the story of this one deployment, there are parts where the author talks about his early life as well as some parts of his earlier days in the Army. The author puts these Stories in to the book in an intriguing way to help explain why and how the author ended up where he did.

The purpose of this paper is intended to summarize my views on what has influenced my understanding of politics and government prior to taking this class, and how my understanding is now since completing this course.
