John F Kennedy and George W Bush
John F Kennedy was our 35th president of the United States 1961-1963. In John F Kennedy’s inaugural speech, he spoke to many about Unity, U.S. Protection, as well in modern society, George W. Bush verbalized similarly, yet Bush’s actions are completely the opposite.
John F Kennedy once said “Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need -- not as a call to battle, though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation," a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself” By just reading this quote from the Inaugural speech he talks about peace and how we as a nation should come together as one, that is the opposite from what George W Bush did for our country. By reading John F Kennedy’s Inaugural address it made me realize that George W Bush had done the opposite from what John F Kennedy said in his Inaugural speech.
“It is a story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer” By reading this quote from George W Bush we can see that he did not keep his promise of protecting the USA and possessing. All he did is make the people terrified because of war and made them suffer because of the economical crisis that we are going through because of all the money he put in toward war. He started war because he wanted to take over Iraq riches lads that had oil, but he said, “The story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess?” I don’t get it. He did it again, lied.
“We offer a special pledge, to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty” John F Kennedy tried to follow what Martin Luther King’s views by agreeing on how we should all be equal no matter what color one was and where you came from. John F Kennedy felt strongly about racism due to America’s society and segregation between love and hate. “Ought to be possible, in short, for every American to enjoy the privileges of being American without regard to his race or his color” This quote shows how John F Kennedy words wanted people to come together and ignore peoples opinion towards discrimination.
We can see that these two president wanted peace, but one did not do his job correctly. The only thing he thought about was himself and not the people. Unfortunately we had to go through that. Hopefully now with our new president Barack Obama he can now do what John F Kennedy once said “We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal, as well as change” John F Kennedy’s speech and George W Bush speech are similar, yet Bush’s actions are completely the opposite. What we need in this world is peace, money cant only make you happy it can also destroy other peoples lives. I hope that now we can come together and make this world a better place.

John F Kennedy and George W Bush
John F Kennedy was our 35th president of the United States 1961-1963. In this essay I will compare John F Kennedy with our ex president George W Bush. I chose to compare John F Kennedy with George W Bush because John F Kennedy’s speech and George W Bush speech are similar, yet Bush’s actions are completely the opposite.
John F Kennedy once said “Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need -- not as a call to battle, though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation," a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself” By just reading this quote from the Inaugural speech he talks about peace and how we as a nation should come together as one, that is the opposite from what George W Bush did for our country.

Obama's inauguration
"This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed, why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall. And why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath"
1. Why did you choose this section?
I chose this section because its amazing how 60 years ago we had racism going on and by having a black precedent 60 years later just makes me feel that we've made a huge improvement in trying to change. This section of his speech made me realize how much we've improve and hopefully make more improvements.
2. How do Obama's words relate to the everyday life that you know and understand?
Obama's words relate to the everyday life because now we can share everything with every race that exist in the world. We go to school with more that 5 races we go to work etc.

artist statement
Thesis Statement: Don’t you think war is an absurd thing? Because I do. War to me is a waste of money, time, and a waste of peoples lives. The twin towers in New York were destroyed by terrorists as a result of war. John Lennon was an anti-war activist and in his song "Imagine", he mentions the importance of peace in the world.
INTRO:
-In this project I will introduce my opinions/ideas about war which are similar to John Lennon's and why people should share the world. Money is making us lose the respect, humanity, and the contact toward others.
BODY PARAGRAPH 1:
John Lennon opened my eyes and made me think about the importance of peace in the world.
- History of John Lennon
- history of “Imagine”
BODY PARAGRAPH 2:
War has been with us since the beginning of time. War is like cancer, people still cant find the solution or medicine to stop this illness (war).
- John Lennon opens up and talks to us about his opinions about war in a song.
-Controversy of "Imagine" (how people interpreted it)
BODY PARAGRAPH 3:
Why I chose to make a collage, quote John Lennon
- Connection between my piece of drawing and quote.
- My connection with John Lennon
Conclusion: Do you still think war is an absurd thing? The waste of money, time, and peoples lives caused by a THING called war can change the world. Money is not the only thing that can make you happy. Would you join me and help make the world live as one?
Summary- if everyone listened, looked around, and took time to make a difference, we could work together to try and end the war. John Lennon was only one of the few revolutionary antiwar activist.

GWB & the Environment
Why is Bush trying to help the environment now? In the "Bush to Protect Three Areas In Pacific" article, talks about Bush's decision,saving three areas in the Pacific Ocean, he made this decision just two weeks before he leaves the office. Why didnt he thought about it when he had more time to do it. I think that what he is doing is really good by attempting to save some areas in the pacific ocean. Although I think he is doing it do look good before leaving the office. In the 'Bush's seven deadly environmental sins' article talks about how Bush comitted seven sins during his position as the president. It also talks about how Obama is planning to fix all of Bush's mistakes that he made by "trying to make the enviroment a better place".
Internship
1. What do you hope to learn or discover about the "adult" world of work while you are at your internship?
I hope I learn how to act and talk like a professional person would. I want to discover how “adults” handle things when they are not the way they planed.
2. What do you hope to learn or discover about yourself and your identity while you are at your internship this semester?
I want to learn how to behave in a professional way and grow as an adult. I want to discover how much pressure I’m able to handle and see what I have to work on to handle the pressure if I cant.
3. What goals do you have for yourself for your internship experience? My goal that I have for myself is to come out of my internship as a new person, a mature adult.
