The Kennedy Wives

Kennedy, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy became the wife to the son of one of the most important American families. Soon after, John, who was also known as Jack, became America’s thirty-fifth President, and Jackie became his first lady. Jacqueline proved to be a valuable asset in John’s political journey. While John ran for president, many of his family members realized how important Jackie was in John’s candidacy. Kenneth O’Donnel explained, “When Jackie was traveling with us, the size of the crowd at every stop was twice as big as it would have been if Jack was alone” (Spoto 131).

This book was the definition of a page turner. O’Reilly does a fantastic job of starting the book with stories of Kennedy’s past. O’Reilly blends those stories of his childhood and his heroism in WWII perfectly into his start of politics. To add to the suspense of what will soon happen to Kennedy, O’Reilly adds small paragraphs about Kennedy’s murderer, Lee Harvey Oswald. The little snippets about Oswald really give the reader a sneak peek into his life pre November 22, 1963. Being the history buff that I am, I have never read a book that went this much into the

John F. Kennedy is one of the most widely respected presidents in American history, with a plethora of books and movies about him. One such book, probably the most popular, is Killing Kennedy by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. Killing Kennedy is a novel describing the life and presidential term of John Kennedy and his family while in office. The book also follows the brief history of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who assassinated JFK, describing his past and the actions that could have prompted him to become an assassin. O’Reilly and Dugard have as unbiased a view as they can possibly get, telling the reader the whole truth about John F. Kennedy, good or bad. The reader gets the whole view of JFK, instead of the sugarcoated image the media has presented of him and his term as president. They portray JFK as the man he is. He was not a good husband, as unfaithful as he was. John F. Kennedy was a great president, there’s no doubt about that. But as a man, he is ruled by his libido, and controlled by his bodily urges.

Jacqueline Lee “Jackie” Kennedy Onassis was the wife of the 35th president of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. She was the First Lady during his presidency from 1961 until he was assassinated in 1963. Throughout her lifetime, she had several accomplishments ranging from becoming a photographer to remodeling The White House.

Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard are the authors of "Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot." The book details the rise and fall of John F. Kennedy, a man considered to be perhaps one of the most influential and well-loved presidents in American history. The prologue begins with JFK being sworn into office as the President of the United States. Kennedy is the youngest president to ever be inaugurated. JFK is adored by millions of Americans despite his thick accent and privileged upbringing. JFK knows how to relate to people of all classes and ages. Additionally, JFK's wife, the beautiful and intelligent Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, is his number one supporter and, many believe, the reason he received many more votes than was ever expected of the

An example of one of the hidden factors that led to her success is the idea of demographic luck, or being born into a demographic trough. A demographic trough is summed up to mean the perfect time in history to be born. The late 1920’s and early 1930’s were a “demographic trough” because, “In response to the economic hardship of the Depression, families simply stopped having children, and as a result, the generation born during that decade was markedly smaller than both the generation that preceded it and the generation that immediately followed it (Gladwell 134).” According to the United States Bureau of the Censes, “…in 1929, there were 2,169,920 live births, which represent a birth rate of 18.9 per 1,000 population, as against 2,233,149 live births reported in 1928, with a rate of 19.8.” This means that Jackie grew up with less people; therefore, she had less competition when it came to college, jobs, and sports. If she had been born five years earlier, in 1924, she would have been born way before the Great Depression, so there would have been more children born. If she had been born five years later, in 1934, the Depression would have been over, and the population would have been back to normal again. Because of the small size of her generation, she received more

Jackie Kennedy and John F. Kennedy met while she was working for the Washington times news paper. When John was running for office, Jackie was there by his side through out it all and even helped him write most of his speeches he gave. Once he became president, Jackie Kennedy was the 3rd youngest lady to ever be a First Lady. The nation fell in love with her in an instant (John 1). Jackie decided to put her own taste into the White House.

When he was first born he and his family had moved to california so they would have a better childhood. When in college he met his future to be wife. When on a bus he had gotten arrested for not moving from the front to the back because of a white person. He was a WW2 veteran but got relieved of his duties respectfully. After being with his wife they had 3 children. One of jackie's children were killed in a car accident.

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, said of her mother, “I think my mother made it clear you have to live life by your own terms and you have to not worry about what other people think and have the courage to do the unexpected”(Caroline Kennedy quotes, page 1). Jacqueline, known as Jackie, is one of the most well known women of the 1900’s. Showcasing her strong-will and grace from an early age, she inspired many people while serving as First Lady and after. While Jackie Kennedy on the surface seemed to live a charmed life as a prominent, beautiful woman, she endured the death of her son, the tragic death of her husband President John F. Kennedy, and the death of her second husband Ari Onassis. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier

November 22, 1963. This is the date that Jacqueline (Jackie) Kennedy Onassis forever lost her husband, John F. Kennedy (JFK). After this tragedy, also remarrying and losing that husband as well, Jackie found fulfillment in becoming a book editor shown in “Jackie O, Working Girl” (Lawrence). Not only does “Jackie O, Working Girl” shows how Jackie became a book editor, it also tells women working is not a bad thing. On the other hand, “The Despair of Jackie Kennedy” delves deep into the details of her mourning over the death of her husband. Other than these two articles talking about Jackie Kennedy, the only other similarity these articles share is they both use some of the same rhetorical strategies: purpose, tone, and audience selection. Although their methods in using purpose, tone, and guiding an audience however is completely different.

His brother, Joseph Kennedy went into the navy. While he was in the army, unfortunately,

Born in 1904, Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is perhaps one of the most beloved children’s authors of the twentieth century. Although he is most famous as an author of children’s books, Geisel was also a political cartoonist, advertisement designer, and film director. He used the power of imagination to produce unforgettable children’s books and helped solve the problem of illiteracy among America’s children. By using his experiences in life as a foundation for most of his books, Theodor Geisel was able to shape the character of many of his readers, as well as teach children subliminal messages through a unique writing style that incorporated various elements and techniques.
