The Life of Robert Lewis: Method or Madness?

Meriwether Lewis is the main reason that the United States’ territory extends from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Pacific Ocean (“Meriwether Lewis” 2). He has done many great things, but he is best known for exploring the American West (1). He was a great man full of bravery. Meriwether faced tons of dangers in his life but he overcame all of them. Lewis “helped change the face of the United States by exploring uncharted territory- the American West (“Meriwether Lewis” 2).”

Everyone in their life experiences a state of hopelessness. Whether it is a big or a small occurrence; it helps us shape up mentally or physically ready for the real world. In March, Lewis talks about the events in his life that we classify as his turning points which caused them to turn their life around. It is true that many events did not increase his will to protest. I think that John Lewis' life was changed by his turning points, there are four turning points what continues to affect him to this day. The four turning points that stand out are his first arrest, Lewis' trip to Buffalo with his Uncle Otis, Dr. King's speech, and when he decided to join the Freedom Riders.

Everyone has turning points during his or her life, some of them change our mind, and some others change our life. In this essay I will be writing about an African American named John Lewis, he was born and raised in the State of Alabama and had several turning points during his life, some of them happened during his childhood and others as an adult. Many turning points are remarkable and well known by the society who has read about him, but some others are hidden somewhere and not too many people talk about them and how it influenced him, nevertheless all of them helped him to create his character and becoming the person who he wanted to become. For example, since almost killing one of his precious chickens trying to baptize it (because he

Hood also held concurrent administrative appointments including Production Coordinator for the Yale Repertory Theatre and Director of the Electro-mechanical Research Laboratory; at Yale, he was a Pierson College Fellow. Later in life, John would regale his students with stories from the ‘glory days,’ the turbulent, yet artistically profound times under Robert Brustein. Hood spoke of mistaking Meryl Streep for an enthusiastic stage hand, of Sigourney Weaver removing pineapples from unseemly locations in a play by Christopher Durang, and of the cigarettes that Henry Winkler still owed him. John Hood spoke of legends, and, to his many students, became one

“With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.”-Martin Luther King. Jr. People have been separated and treated differently for the color on the outside, but not their real culture on the birth certificate if they weren't white. But that didn't stop anyone or anybody from fighting for their civil rights. People saw the political figures as is, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X, but they don't see

"I am tall, fat, rather bold, red-faced, double-chinned, have a deep voice, and wear glasses for reading" --C. S. Lewis's picture of himself in a letter. A nickname of C.S. Lewis, Jack, was devised when Lewis declared he wanted to be called Jacksie but the nickname was shortened to Jack. Lewis is a 20th century author, with over thirty-five books published. C.S. Lewis’s works were influenced by his life experiences.

John Lewis questions if there will be a time when a political party will actually protect the rights of the African Americans, and when fighting will no longer be necessary. Lewis implies that the government is not doing anything to protect the rights of African Americans because he constantly asks “where is the political party that....” (para 6). John emphasizes his idea and argument through multiple rhetorical questions and examples. The significance of the evidence that he uses proves that the government is not doing anything to stop the inequality in America. Additionally, in paragraph six, Lewis asks, “What did the federal government do when local police officials kicked and assaulted the pregnant wife of Slater King, and she lost her

Mahatma Gandhi died nearly seventy years ago, and Jesus Christ died over two-thousand years ago; yet their powerful message still continues to inspire lives. One example of someone who was deeply touched by the teaching of Gandhi and Christ is John Lewis. In March: Book one, written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, we can clearly see how Lewis incorporated Christianity and Gandhi's ideas of peaceful protest into the civil rights movement. The book tells an eventful story of John Lewis' life. As Lewis grew up, his faith strengthened and he began involving himself in the civil rights movement. He played a major role in desegregating department store lunch counters by using Gandhi and Christ's ideas of loving your enemy. Although significant people John Lewis had met, such as Martin Luther King, clearly played a key role in developing his character, it is evident throughout the trilogy that the people who impacted John Lewis the most were those he had never met. The teachings of Jesus Christ and Mahatma Gandhi appear to have positively influenced Lewis’ life in ways no one he met had.

Most comic books involve a hero who saves the day even the world. In March Book two, the main characters not only changed the world but they made history and something that will never be forgotten. In March Book Two by John Lewis, you basically go through what he went through when he was fighting for his rights. You will see all the pain he and the freedom riders went through, but you will also see the way he changed the United States of America.

As I read this prompt, I remembered my experience as a co-leader of a Christian cell group called Caregroup. One of the members was not then a full Christian; he was interested in the Christian teachings, but since he was a skeptical person, some teachings did not make sense to him. He had some unresolved questions about the teachings.

“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”

The aim of this report is to explore the internal strengths and weaknesses of John Lewis and the external threats and opportunities for this organisation. Secondly, it will explore how John Lewis could use this SWOT analysis to benefit them in the future.

C.S. Lewis is one of the greatest authors in history. His books are still widely available and sold to many interested readers. In Lewis’ childhood, he experienced a tragedy that affected his belief in god; in his middle life, he mainly focused on college and his studies, but his father’s death played a role in Lewis later becoming a Christian. In Lewis’ later life, he married one of his own fans. Clive’s passion for writing began when he was a small child, and it continued to grow as he furthered his education to become a college professor at Oxford University. Lewis is still remembered today for his great works, such as The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia, which is a popular series among children.
