... Lady Bird (Claudia Alta Taylor) Johnson: The Emergence of a Public First Lady with Private Influence “The Evolution of the role of First Lady in America during the past half century has been….almost as dramatic as the expansion of the Role of the Chief Executive.” [1] Katie Louchheim in the March 1964 issue of Ladies’ Home Journal observed this phenomenon. The most significant development was the power acquired by the first lady through her position as a public figure: “Regardless of her distaste for public life, her role can no longer be a private one; she acquires indirect power when her husband takes the oath of office as President of the United States.”[2] In the Era of 1964-1977 the role of the first lady began to transform from one of a political celebrity to the first lady as a Political savvy activist. One of the First Ladies during this era instrumental in the emergence of the first lady as a proactive political activist was Lady Bird (Claudia Alta Taylor) Johnson, wife of former President Lyndon B. Johnson. Through exploring Lady Bird’s roles as a wife, mother, conservationist, businesswoman, philanthropist and First Lady, one will further understand how her influences and actions transformed the role of the modern First lady and how she used her platform to eventually transform not only cities and states but an entire nation well after her role as First lady. In order to fully understand Lady Bird Johnson’s development...

...Kayvon Jahanbaksh, Brandon Pisani, Lexus Myers, Monica Rom-Castro Mrs. Bastelica AP Language & Composition III- period 3 9 April 2014 How Does Shakespeare Reveal Character Motivation in the First Two Acts of Macbeth? Shakespeare reveals character motivation in the first two acts of Macbeth through his main characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. All elements of motivation lead up to the climax of the play: the murdering of King Duncan in Act II. What plants the seed of motivation for Macbeth (who later motivates his female counterpart, Lady MacBeth) is introduced first and foremost in Act I, scene i with the three weird sisters. The witches declare they will meet again when the “hurlyburly” (I.i.l.3), or storm, is done upon a “heath” (I.i.l.7), or open land covered in small shrubs, to meet with Macbeth. In Act I, scene iii, the three weird sisters meet with Macbeth as they predicted in scene i. “All hail Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter!” (I.iii.l.50) cries the third witch, announcing the prophecy of Macbeth to Macbeth himself. This prophecy proposed is similar to the prophecy in the Harry Potter series that motivates the infamous antagonist, Lord Voldemort, to kill the protagonist Harry Potter in order to fulfill the prophecy that stated a boy was born (Harry) with the power to vanquish Lord Voldemort and his power. Like Macbeth, Voldemort had to eliminate (or attempt to) Harry so he could get what he wanted: to be an unstoppable evil force. Macbeth had to eliminate...

They have both won the Caldecott Honor award and are similar in a few ways. David and the old lady both do things that lead to negative results. David disobeys his mother, therefore he is always getting yelled at. The old lady keeps swallowing animal to eat the previous one that eventually leads to her death. No, David! has few words, but with the illustrations, it is easy to follow the story line. There are about three to four words for every two pages. The words are black and look like they were written with a pen. They are sharp lines that are thicker if the mom is yelling at David. Sometimes the words are in all capital letters to show that the mom is angry and trying to control him. The similarity between each page is that there are exclamation points at the end of each phrase. The words are coming from the mom even though she is not in the pictures. There do not need to be more words because the illustrations show everything that David does wrong. This book seems like it is for a younger age group because it is an easy read. There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly is a repetitive book. She swallowed a fly and thinks she might die. Then she swallows a spider to eat the fly. The story goes...

...THE MOONSTONE by Wilkie Collins THE AUTHOR William Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was born in London, the son of a successful landscape painter and member of the Royal Academy, who was also very strict with both his religion and his money. While his son inherited much of his father’s parsimony, he rebelled against the strict morality of his upbringing, and against Victorian morality in general. After the death of his father, he scandalized his family and friends by setting up housekeeping with Caroline Graves, a young woman who already had a daughter, and presumably a husband. Even when the opportunity presented itself later in life, he refused to marry her, encouraged her to marry another man, and then moved in with her again when that marriage failed. In the meantime, he kept a mistress on the side, Martha Rudd, by whom he had three children. At his death, he divided his estate equally between his two mistresses and two families. Through much of his life, he was plagued by bad health. He was small and somewhat deformed, and rheumatism contracted in his thirties caused him to take increasingly-large doses of laudanum. He himself admitted that he was a bit of a hypochondriac, and eventually became a recluse much like Frederick Fairlie in The Woman in White. To please his parents, he tried the tea business for five years and later studied law, but had no love for either pursuit. He was drawn to the arts, as was his brother Charles, who for a time worked among...
