The Butter Battle Book By Dr. Seuss

It became very evident how ridiculous war was because Seuss took something so idiotic like buttered toast not being eaten the “correct” way to mock the Cold War. For example “It’s high time that you knew of the terribly horrible things that the Zooks do. In every Zook house and in every Zook town, every Zook eats his bread with butter side down!” (Suess 7). The irony present in this example is that the Zooks and Yooks are both doing the same thing, just a bit differently.

Satire of The Butter Battle Book While one would not think to write children's books with hidden meanings about the Cold War and weapons of mass destruction within the context of the story line, Dr. Seuss did just that. Seuss has written many interesting children's books including The Butter Battle Book, Green Eggs and Ham, and The Lorax, to name just a few. Seuss seems to have mastered the art of using an array of different craft in his books. Metaphors, irony, and parallel structure are all conveyed to make the books interesting and capture the reader's attention.

Eisenhower then uses his military tactics, strategies, experience, and title to help build a strong campaign, and ran for president of United States. Dwight D. Eisenhower was the most influential ruler in history due to his military impact on World War II, and his domestic accomplishments contributing to the growth and strength of America. Eisenhower creates and enforces military plans making a significant impact on World War II, which benefits the world and lead to the fall of Hitler. Europe, during World War II wasn't a pleasant environment for military, social, and economic reasons. The military was expanding rapidly and taking over all parts of Europe.

D. Eisenhower was a prominent US army commander during the Second World War. After the Second World War, he left the army to be the president of the Columbia University. He was later nominated as the Republican candidate for the presidential election of 1952 which he won to become the 34th president of the United States (Dwight, 1960). During his administration, the cold war between the US, Russia, and China was quite intensive but despite that, his administration was able to thrive. Dwight D. Eisenhower was a behind the scene president and stayed out of politics which made him not so famous in the past but in the recent decades, his reputation has become prominent. His absence out of politics made most people perceive that he

He was known as a trustworthy person, throughout his period as a world figure. Often,“His good humor and good looks attracted people. Most...found it impossible to be in Eisenhower’s presence and not like him” (Ambrose 172-173; vol. 1). It made him a popular figure in the eyes of the press, and helped build his reputation. He was also a highly experienced tactician, which can be shown in some of his successes. Eisenhower’s greatest success,”Came in foreign policy, and the related area of national defense spending. By making peace in Korea, and [by] avoiding war…he achieved his major accomplishments…Eisenhower boasted that ‘the United States has never lost a soldier or foot of ground in my administration. We kept the peace’ (Ambrose 626; vol. 2). Eisenhower was a member of the War plans division, so he had plenty of experience in managing tight budgets. Lastly, he was a team player. As a teenager, he was a football player for his high school. The more he played,”the more he appreciated the importance of teamwork. He was the rah-rah type, constantly shouting words of encouragement to his teammates” (Ambrose 34; vol. 1). Eisenhower knew how important it was to make a good team, in any situation. He was very picky as he chose his new administrators. He wanted “Men he could turn to for advice and with who he could share both responsibility and praise” (Ambrose 20; vol.

Dr.Seuss was the author of The Butter Battle Book. He best used writing craft to convey meaning because he used metaphor, parallel structure, and irony. His easy to read and equally funny children’s book is about having different views than someone else, fighting, and war. Throughout Seuss’ The Butter Battle Book, he uses the craft of allusion to point out the silliness of the Cold War. The book is mocking the Cold War and it’s events, therefore creating the craft of allusion, along with making it more light-hearted by giving crazy names to weapons that the Yooks had made.

"Beware the military-industrial complex," warned Dwight Eisenhower in his farewell address to the nation he had served his entire life. Dwight Eisenhower served his country for many years, and his service has greatly impacted this nations history and future. From his service in the military, to his time as president, he has guided the United States through some of it's most difficult years. He will always be remembered for his ability to lead. This ability came from his childhood, when he learned important lessons and strong ideals that led to his success in the Oval Office.

I decided to write this biography on a man that was a hero both on the battlefield and in the office. Dwight Eisenhower can be said one of the greatest president being a man who was born into poverty as an immigrant to the president of the United states. In the middle he was a five star general leading troops against the nazis.

Joseph Stalin led Russia during WWII and was famous for his political support of Communism. Russia was an enemy to the U.S. at first, yet they were on the Allies side at the end of the war. FDR was the president of the U.S. during WWII, which is what he is most famous for. Franklin Roosevelt used his political power in order to get U.S. citizens on his side, which is what any country in the middle of a war needs. For Example, FDR used Pearl Harbor to his benefit.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was a man full of brains, and always used his communication skills to help his country. This came in handy during World War II. “He argued that this war, more than previous conflicts, would require careful planning and logistical precision—skills at which he excelled” (American Decades). Better than most officers, he understood that politics and the military were closely entwined. On February 10, 1943, he became a

Had Dwight David Eisenhower died in 1940, he would have been merely remembered in American history. However, Eisenhower, fortunately, lived until well into his 70s and had the honor of serving as the thirty-fourth president of the United States from 1953 to 1961. He rose from humble beginnings to become Supreme Allied Commander, General of the Army, and ultimately Commander-in-Chief. “Ike”, President Eisenhower’s popular nickname, was born in 1890 and grew up in Abilene, Kansas with his large, poor family. Despite his family being at an economic disadvantage, his parents instilled a great ethic of discipline and yearning for education. Eisenhower’s morals and virtues destined him to a path of success in his life. Even though he wanted to seek

The book Bomb: The Race to Build–and Steal–the World’s Most Dangerous Weapon is a thrilling, fast-paced story that refines a great deal of history into interesting and understandable literature for practically any age reader. The author, Steve Sheinkin, writes to tell the story of the first atomic bomb, the people who made it possible, and those who challenged its progress. Any person who is interested in science, history, or would like an enjoyable, quick read could read Bomb and easily understand the basics behind the creation of the atomic bomb. Along with the science and mathematics of the atomic bomb, Sheinkin adds the suspense and intrigue from the viewpoints of espionage agents from the Soviet Union, Germany, Great Britain, and the

It all began in 1939 when Franklin D. Roosevelt found out that the Nazis were funding money and were attempting to build some sort of nuclear weapons. Roosevelt knew if the Germans had gotten their hands on an Atomic Weapon, the war would be over quick. Who knows what could’ve happened next? As a result Roosevelt acted fastly but strategically by funding the U.S’s own experiment to build atomic weapons. The secret codename for this project was named the “Manhattan Project.” The Manhattan Project was run by the United States with the help of their allies, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The Manhattan Project was so large it employed over 130,000 people and costed roughly a little over $2 Billion. In today’s USD $2 Billion would be the equivalent of almost $26 Billion. Almost 90% of the overall money used on this project was used just towards building factories and the production of the Fission materials. This left only about 10% of the money which was used directly towards development and production of these atomic weapons. The Creation of the Atomic Bomb has led to Mass Destruction.

Eisenhower. One of his greatest strategies when it came to dealing with communism was called “brinkmanship.” According to Ayer’s book, this was when the U.S. would make threats that were dangerous enough to get results without actually having to follow through. In other words, going to the “brink” of war. Eisenhower expressed multiple times in his Eisenhower Doctrine, given on the 5th of January, 1957, that he was ready and willing to give economic aid to any democratic country that needed it. He said that the same went for military aid and military use (Eisenhower). He was possibly the most willing to take immediate action out of the three of these presidents. There were even times when he considered something called “massive retaliation” which, according to American Anthems, was when the U.S. responded to a problem with a force of a much greater magnitude. Eisenhower was also the creator of the Domino Theory, which stated that a political event that happens in one country will affect many other countries (Ayers). Eisenhower demonstrated great power while combating communism, but the U.S.A. would be changing again

When President Truman authorized the use of two nuclear weapons in 1945 against the Japanese in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II, the nature of international security was changed irreversibly. At that time, the United States had what was said to have a monopoly of atomic bombs. Soon thereafter, the Soviet Union began working on atomic weaponry. In 1949, it had already detonated it first atomic bomb and tensions began to heat up between the two countries. With the information that the Soviets had tested their first bomb, the United States began work on more powerful weapons1, and a fight for nuclear superiority had begun.
