Abstract
The paper analyzes the main character of George Orwell's science fiction novel, "Nineteen Eighty-Four". The paper discusses how Winston Smith attempts to rebel against Big Brother and society but fails in the end and is ultimately won over by the society. The author of the paper shows that this is not a sign of Winston?s weakness, instead it is a sign of the extreme strength of the society, with the message being that if Winston cannot rise above the society, nobody can.
From the Paper
"The final important thing to consider is what Orwell attempted to achieve in writing the book. Gardner reports that the story was created as a warning to society and the character of Winston as someone to be admired and understood. The name Winston came from Winston Churchill who was seen as a hero at the time. Smith was chosen because it is the most common name (Gardner). Winston Smith then is meant to represent the common man who is also a hero. The other important point is that the novel is meant to express how powerful Big Brother is and how powerless we would be in such a state. Winston then is presented as a heroic character, with his ultimate failing meant to indicate that no person would be able to withstand the power of Big Brother."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the characters of Winston Smith and his girlfriend, Julia in the novel '1984' by George Orwell. This paper reports that Winston and Julia are trapped in a world lorded over by "Big Brother," a kind of literary metaphor devised by Orwell to describe the government under which these two people live and work. This paper focuses on the rebellion of both characters against the so called "Big Brother".
From the Paper
"For Julia, her rebellion comes in the form of sex which like Smith's contemplative mind is banned by "Big Brother." When Smith first encounters Julia during the preparations for the "Two Minute Hate" session, it triggers something deep within his subconscious mind. "Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her," and upon passing Julia in the corridor, her sidelong glance "seemed to pierce right into him and for a moment had filled him with black terror." This "black terror" is related to Winston's deep dislike for women, "especially the young and pretty ones" (Orwell, 9) like Julia.
Certainly, Winston perceived something different about Julia, despite the scarlet sash around her waist, the emblem of the Junior Anti-Sex League. Exactly what this difference was is not clear, yet one can assume that Julia sparked some kind of sexual urge in Winston, for he hallucinates about flogging her "to death with a rubber truncheon" and tying her "naked to a stake" then "ravish her and cut her throat at the moment of climax" (Orwell, 12). For Julia, her sexuality is the basis of her rebellion and it appears that it may have had some influence over Winston's desire to become a rebel as well."

Abstract
In this book review the writer offers an introduction and discussion of the book ?Red-Hot and Righteous by Diane Winston. It begins by giving an overview of the book and assessing what message Winston intended to give her readers. The review highlights the themes that the author covers such as the Salvation Army?s history, background and rise to greatness. In the conclusion the writer explores that while the book is an effective review of the Salvation Army, it does not continue up to the present day and therefore is not as comprehensive as it could have been.
From the Paper
"Red-Hot and Righteous" tells the story of the Salvation Army from its inception to 1950. They called it the "Cathedral of the Open Air," and it worked nowhere better than in New York City. The first representatives of the Army, which began in England in the 1860s, arrived in New York in 1880. "At home in England, the Army's novel methods, including loud parades, female preachers, and hymns set to popular tunes, were attacked not only in the press but also in the streets" (Winston 10). The army's members were "men and women mostly belonging to the working class" (Winston 13), who had joined the army, found religion, and were now saved from "immorality and ruffianism."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of Winston Churchill, claiming his importance to world history arises because he was able to lead his country with a sense of resolve and determination at a time when the world was clouded with uncertainty. The paper contends that Churchill changed history because he was not willing to compromise his beliefs, even when it seemed as though everyone was against him.
From the Paper
"Winston Churchill is one of the most important figures in world history because of his leadership skills, resolve, and insight. He was able to change history by connecting with the very people he was expected to lead. He was brave enough to be honest and smart enough to be real. In a time when the world was filled with war and despair, Churchill was able to literally speak to the hearts of men. His efforts were instrumental in changing history and this was only possible because the man allows followed what his instincts told him to be true. One incredible aspect of his character is the fact that he did not back down or change his mind even when those around him were in complete disagreement with what he believed. Churchill struggled against one of the most powerful forces the modern world has known and was able to bring his country to victory because he believed in the freedom. Overall, he served his country for more than 60 years, always providing a sense of hope not only for his country but also for the world."

Abstract
This paper examines how history enlightens us that Churchill was excluded from office for a decade between 1929 and 1939 due to the fact that many political party members distrusted him and how nevertheless, Winston Churchill politically was just as effective (at that period in time) out of office as he would have been in it. It looks at how the 1930s generated many doubts over Churchill?s political career and attempts to reveal why Churchill?s political rivals buried him, why his enemies cut him off and why he was politically isolated out of money and power and was compelled to switch allegiances to other political parties for his own beneficial purposes. It also incorporates evidence that emphasises that it was Churchill?s anxieties of attaining the British Empire at all costs (imperialism of India) and of initiating the belief that Hitler wasn?t to be trusted, that British rearmament was necessary and that appeasement with the Germans was dishonourable.
From the Paper
"Credit where credit is due, artistically and journalistically Churchill was a fine painter and writer (he earned a respectable ?30 thousand a year doing it) however, as far as money and the economy was concerned, Churchill was far from the economist expert he thought he was.
Because not only did he lose a fortune in the stock exchange when Wall Street crashed in 1929 (he had to get a friend to bail him out), he also lost the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer when the Conservatives were defeated at the election that was brought about by the collapse in world economy."

Abstract
This work assesses whether the popular myth of Winston Churchill is accurate and evaluates whether he deserves the acclaim that popular sentiment has given him. This evaluation takes the form of three chapters. Chapter one examines his role in the 1930s, chapter two his abilities as a military strategist and chapter three the period immediately following him becoming Prime Minister on 10 May 1940. The paper relates that areas of his life were focused upon specifically, as they form the integral components of the popular myth and thus are essential in assessing whether that myth is accurate. Furthermore the author states that although the popular myth is impossible to substantiate for reasons that are outlined in the paper, chapter three provides the evidence that makes Churchill a truly great and remarkable human being.

From the Paper
"Churchill espoused similar views immediately following the German Anschluss, or union with Austria. In the debate on 14 March 1938 as with the one just under a year earlier he made no call for a military response to Hitler's latest European incursion. As with the Rhineland, the Anschluss was not the point at which Churchill believed a stand should be made against Hitler. This is of course contrary to the position he outlined in The Gathering Storm, and consequently contrary to his popular myth. However, it was at this point that he came to the conclusion that military force or at the very least the threat of such force, was the only possible avenue open for dealing with Hitler. In the Commons just ten days after the Anschluss debate he made an eloquent but resolute call for firmness declaring that now it was time to 'raise again a great British nation standing before all the world', and that even at this point Britain 'rising in its ancient vigour (could) save civilisation'. However, he saved his most severe denunciations of the government for the crises over Czechoslovakia."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although Sir Winston Leonard Churchill led the British out of the Depression and in victory during World War II, his biggest loss came just after these biggest victories when he lost the 1945 election for prime minister in spite of his overwhelming popularity. The author points out that Churchill's troubles began in 1942 with what is called the "palace revolt"; the movement was lead by several newspapers, such as "The Times", "The Sunday Times" and "The Observer", and respectable politicians, such as Lord Salisbury, Lord Swinton, Lord Hankey and Sir Edward Grigg. The paper concludes that, in leading the country, Churchill made many enemies; in spite of his extreme popularity, the combination of (1) the country's wish for change after the war, (2) the desire of the soldiers in the Pacific to return home and (3) the lack of total support within his own party led to his failure to win the 1945 election. Several long quotes.
From the Paper
"Churchill still maintained strong support, but it was obvious a grass roots effort was beginning to unseat him. However, Churchill knew he faced problems in the future once the war was over. During a popular war, it would be very difficult to unseat a leader, because of the fear of dissension and confusion within the military ranks. Trying to unseat a leader during war would be seen as many as treasonous. Thomson says Churchill was aware "of the doubting approval of Parliament" and was concerned."

Abstract
This paper explores the early years of the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. In particular, it examines how, although he received an incredible amount of criticism for his decisions during World War I, he made many valuable contributions to the British and Allied cause. It looks at how he restructured and modernized the navy, saw merit in the implementation of such machinery as tanks and airplanes even though others did not, strengthened Allied relations, and commanded a brigade on the Western Front.
From the Paper
"In 1904, Churchill crossed party lines and joined the Liberal Party due to his disagreement with proposed higher tariffs by the Conservatives. At this juncture in political history, the Liberal Party was at its strongest and committed to social reform; therefore, Churchill participated in much of this era?s social reform. As President of the Board of Trade, he established the first of the great welfare services: labor exchanges, which would subsequently lead to state unemployment insurance. In addition, he helped produce legislation that regulated wages and provided safety standards for workers. Simultaneously and more importantly to the international scene, Winston was involved in issues of defense."

From the Paper
"When Winston Churchill was born on the thirtieth of November in 1874, no one ever dreamed that he would have such a significant impact on the British people (Churchill 1). As a school boy, he did not care for the school work given to him. He was interested in history, poetry and writing but the school tried to teach him mathematics and Latin (15). He was at the bottom of his class at Harrow, his grade school. He was later taught English instead of Latin because it was believed that he was too dumb to learn other languages (16). At the age of eighteen, after leaving Harrow, Churchill enrolled at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst (Rodgers 27). There, he found that Latin and Greek were not needed to be successful. He studied about tactics, fortification, topography, military law and military administration. He also learned gymnastics, drill and horseback riding (Churchill 21). It was at Sandhurst that Churchill gained a respect for strict military discipline (Rodgers 27)."

"THE HISTORIES OF WINSTON CHURCHILL:
A HISTORIOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
Winston Churchill turned out literally millions of words in his considerable lifetime - he died at ninety in 1965 - and from the beginning, his copy was "gorgeous" (as some editors would put it). He thrilled readers with reportage of his own turn-of-the-century military adventures in India and South Africa. He described, analyzed and speculated upon a host of topics for eager magazine readers in the decades between the two world wars; he completed immense biographies of his own ancestors and other British bigwigs of the past; and he capped his career in the 1950s with a six-volume history of The Second World War and his four-volume A History of the English Speaking Peoples.

From the Paper
" Mahatma Gandhi and Winston Churchill were two of the leading figures of this century. They came from very different backgrounds and represented different traditions and ideals, with Gandhi fighting against many of the British views that men like Churchill represented.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born at Porbandar, Kathiawar in 1869. He was the youngest son in a family of three sons and one daughter. Mohan was an ordinary child who was halting in his speech and nearly frightened of his own shadow, and much of what he saw in the external world puzzled him. He was not a very good student, and books did not interest him. He was left largely to himself by his classmates. At home, the family rigidly observed the Hindu pieties (Shahani, 1961, 1-3).

Literature Review
From the Paper
"As the war raged on in Europe in 1945, Sir Winston Churchill, then Prime Minister of England, urged Josef Stalin, the Communist leader of the Soviet Union, to join him and President Franklin Roosevelt at a conference to discuss their common goal to defeat Nazi Germany. Yet Stalin refused to leave Russia which prompted Churchill to recommend that the conference be held in Yalta in the Russian Crimea. Stalin quickly agreed and as these three national leaders came together, they soon agreed to discuss four primary areas of concern--the immediate future of Germany following an Allied victory, post-war political arrangements in eastern Europe, the entry of the Soviet Union into the war against Japan in the Pacific and the details of the United Nations Charter."
