What's the deal with...no, this post is not about to launch into a Seinfeld routine. However, Jerry had something in common with another observational humorist, Will Rogers. Rogers, who was killed in a plane crash 80 years ago this month, was what could be considered a “Jack of all trades”. He was an Oklahoma Indian whose parents were partly of Cherokee descent, a cowboy, and entertainer, movie and Broadway star, writer, speaker, comedian, philosopher, and world figure. He was not only an observational humorist, but like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, he had his finger on the pulse of the political world. His folksy humor and his honesty and intelligence made him a prominent radio broadcaster and political pundit. He called politics
He was able to relate and convince his audience with his strong sound argument. He knew what the people wanted to hear and how to present it. He took the time to study what he believed the American public wanted and how to talk to them in order to get them on his side. He was able to bring in ethos, pathos, logos, parallelism, and antithesis to have a successful persuasive speech. This is a mark of an extraordinary speaker and in his case a politician who was able to persuade the American people to trust in his beliefs and
In all his walks of life he displayed courage, determination, and leadership, and above all he was a fighter. As a homeschooled boy from New York, he fought the asthma condition he was born with, fought for political positions in his state, fought in the Spanish-American war, fought for presidency, and all the while was fighting for America. No matter what opposition he faced, he never stopped fighting, and I think that is the truest form of determination. Had he not kept that determined attitude, he would not have been a colonel, governor, or a good President. If politicians today held the same zealous love for America’s wellbeing, we might be living in a much greater
Ronald Reagan is known as the "Great Communicator" by many. In 1992, as he delivered a speech at the Republican Convention, one would not doubt his excellence in public speaking. He demonstrated superiority of speech and was easy to critique because of the situation, the content of his speech, his credibility, and his delivery.
First publishing from his newspaper consisted of Americans views on war with Spain dealing with Cuba. It often spoke about President McKinley. He was most famous for his yellow journalism. Many individuals feel this journalism part takes in imperialism and sovereignty power of foreign areas ( binkiewizc Donna).
I remember the first time I saw “Mrs. Doubtfire,” a movie Williams made in 1993; I could not stop laughing at the fact that a man could also be a women, and not only fool people he has never met but fool his own family! Even though Williams brought so much joy to other people, it was made clear that he could not bring joy to his own life. Williams suffered from depression, which is one of the reasons I could relate to him. In 2011, I was diagnosed with Persistent Depressive Disorder, and comedians like Williams were a huge help for my recovery. When I first heard of Williams’s death, I was curled on the couch drinking fresh squeezed lemonade, watching TV because summer was almost over and I had to fully rest before I could take on another year of taking notes, taking test, and studying for test until two in the morning. When CNN first announced Williams’s death, I felt my heart fall to the floor, immediately I felt tears running down

Seinfeld is one of those iconic shows to ever air on TV. It is one of those shows that everyone has either seen or heard of in their lifetime and for good reason. Seinfeld first aired on July 5th, 1989, and was first produced to be a comedy regarding every day relatable life events. The star of the show, Jerry Seinfeld, who is a comedian, was cast in order to put a funny spin on everyday life situations. It took place in New York in the late 1980’s and the 1990’s. Seinfeld started out as just another show on TV but grew in popularity and eventually became a common name in almost every household in the United States during the 1990’s. Today, Seinfeld is seen and remembered as one of the most iconic and popular TV shows to ever air. The show's plot was
The title of the source I listened to was “The pilot episode for the comedy TV show ‘Seninfeld’ formerly known as ‘The Seinfeld Chronicles’”. I think this TV show could be divided into two parts. One is Jerry’s personal presentation and another is comedy. In my viewpoint, this listening is difficult(rated 8) for me to some extent because of not only the speed, but also the logic. As for the speed, I think they talked so fast that I can hardly understand what they said at the first time, but after I repeated, I found that it could be easier for me. So what was the most difficult for me is the logic. When I listened this at the first time, I was extremely confused that how the event developed. It was just like a comedy that some people talked
improvements. As president he was never afraid to show a bit of a radical side
One can not make much of an argument that Frank Sinatra was not one of the greatest individual starts of the twentieth century; his music reached the captive ears of millions, he was a successful actor who even netted an academy award. Throughout his career he maintained an air of sophistication, surely most who imagine Frank Sinatra imagine him dressed to the nines, in a full suit with a fedora to complete the look. His musical style mirrored his appearance, with his songs consisting of his smooth clear voice, usually crooning over a big band or similar instrumental group. His incredible talent and popularity lead him to be able to voice his opinion on matters unrelated to his music, and thus he made a brief stint into politics and the Civil
Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. was an American broadcast journalist who was born November 4, 1916 in St. Joseph, Missouri. He was famous for his anchorman role for CBS Evening News, “his style [was] honesty, impartiality and level-headedness, and “And that's the way it is” was his jaunty nightly sign-off.” (Biography.com Editors) Cronkite reported several breaking news stories, especially during World War II bombings, Nuremberg trials, Vietnam War updates, Iran Hostage Crisis, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Cronkite’s ability to present the facts while also including his emotion into his reports led him into becoming “the most trusted man in America”. (IMBD)
In addition to being a bright student, he had the ability to make jokes. Eventually, several famous people in television such as Johnny Carson and David Letterman noticed this and gave him an “in” in the entertainment business.
He had dominated within the nations politics and was a symbol of the common man within the working and middle class. He represented the people and was the protector of common man from the abuses of the rich and wealthy businessman. He opposed on increasing the federal spending and national dept. He interpreted the powers of Congress narrowly, and therefore vetoed more than the past six presidents combined
He was a great speaker and could control his audience. Most
He was one of the most creative and deep thinking political scientist during his era, who had a Multidisciplinary Academic background and yet did not major in any specific areas or disciple but choose to celebrate the Multi-Dimensional Nature of his works.
