Superb Self Sufficiency P 145 Schlesinger Jackson
431 wordsBy reading his writings, one can very easily see that Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. was an advocate for Andrew Jackson. He supports Jacksons character and his methods. Although many of the good things Schlesinger says about Jackson may be true, I do not believe that Schlesinger presents an overall true picture of Jackson. One of the things that Schlesinger said he liked about Jackson was Jacksons superb self-sufficiency. He wrote: when the moment for action came, he always made up his own mind Once hi...

The Tragic Hero In Antigone
741 wordsAntigone is a Greek tragic piece that stresses the use of power and morality versus the law written by Sophocles. Both Antigone and Creon, the main characters in the play, could represent the tragic hero. A tragic hero is a character who is known for being dignified and has a flaw that assists to his or her downfall. In my opinion, Creon best qualifies for being the tragic hero and fitting the definition read in the previous sentence. The things he said, did, and the comments that were made by t...
