In President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s farewell address to the nation, he warned the United States to strive for continuous balance so that the power of the military and industrial complex would not harm the democratic process. The goal was to maintain agreement and compromise on issues existing in the current moment, as well as the solutions that would help to shape the nation in the coming future. Understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize that America’s leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment (Eisenhower, II).

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

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

Those were the words of Aaron Copland, which he told to Edward Rothstein of the New York Times. Copland wanted to make American music speak in its own unique way. Over the course of his existence he did that by composing some of the most well-known classical scores and ballet theme of his time.Truly studying Aaron Copeland’s life, an individual can recognize that Copeland is a true American icon by analyzing his life experiences and understanding how his tremendous impact and influence had touched lives of Americans, most particularly, musicians.

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).

Examined in the film was the event when Bush was to appoint his foreign policy team. All the advisors he selected were viewed as major contributors in the political picture. It was observed that all but one of these advisors were members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the New York-based organization that is a well-renowned exponent of America’s Insider establishment. This was a common method used in an attempt to make the United States a one-world government ruled by the elite class. The CFR has made close to every decision in the past regarding foreign policy, no matter what the political party of the current president. Therefore, when President Bush joined forces with this council, it became practically impossible for a change in policy while the Bush Administration is in power (www.thenewamerican.com).
