What Is Your Opinion Of Churchill's Life

Improved Essays
My opinion on Churchill is almost all positive. I have a positive opinion of him because he is persistent, humorous, and thinks ahead of the current situation. His persistence is shown multiple times in his life, for example during World War II when his soldiers were fighting against Hitler and his troops, there were many times when he was worried and didn’t know if it would turn out the way almost everyone was hoping for. But he didn’t give up, in fact he refused to surrender, He once stated “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender”. This came out as incredibly beneficial when the news of Hitler’s death in 1945 spread across Europe. …show more content…
And then to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.”. This trait has also been shown to be helpful because he make light of awkward or upsetting situations. Finally Churchill’s forward thinking is shown usually during times of war but it also pops up at other points in his life. For example before World War II Churchill predicted that Hitler being in power and his ideas of Nazzism , would be terrible if it spread across Europe. He predicted this way before it actually happened and actually tried to stop it at a meeting with many world leaders. That is why I have a positive opinion of

    After graduating top three of his class, and before ever thinking or going into politics, Winston Churchill served and worked as a writer for the British Military post. Years into his military career, and numerous amounts of positions in the military branch, he was voted to be on the parliament seat after he left the army in 1899. In this position he faced many problems as to which political party he joined and agreed with, to the decisions that were made in the parliament which affected his reputation as a leader.

    Churchill objectively speaks of how the French were defeated, England is next to be bombed, the Nazi’s have gained a lot of territory, and the casualties of war. He does all of this in such a way what that he seems to have an attitude that things are grim and fearful. He then seems to twist his own attitude later on by giving hope to the situation and describing what can be done. He goes from a despairing attitude to one of patriotism and hope. This can be seen most prominently in the selection, “Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.””…

    It is well known that Adolf Hitler is a master of persuasion and in his Reichstag speech of December 11, 1941, he shows why. In this speech he gives reasons for the outbreak of war in September 1939, explains why he decided to attack the Soviet Union in June 1941, and announces that Germany was now in a war against the United States. Throughout this speech, he was able to maintain an air of righteousness while successfully manipulating his people into fighting for him. To accomplish this task, he cunningly uses a persuasive format for organizing his points, tone, and rhetoric devices, such as pathos, false dilemmas, and ethos, to gain support and loyalty of the German nation and maintain it.…

He does not take initiative or decisive thoughts in attempt to make the first courses of actions to take place and let everything else follows, suggesting that he is relying his hopes on future generations.

    "It 's a Beautiful Thing": Art, Culture, History and Humanity in George Orwell 's 1984 In 1984 George Orwell pulls readers into his horrific and at the same time awe- inspiring totalitarian society, dictated by a dystopian political system that builds a world on omnipresent surveillance, public manipulation, oppression, hatred, propaganda and "their sole motive, [which is] the quest for power" (Paul 215) . Due to the unconditional control the party has over Oceania, there is evidently a paucity of beauty, culture and history. Art plays a crucial part of humanity, history and our depiction of the truth.…
