The first few months of his service are quiet, and nothing more than training and a few small missions. After a while, he and his crew became like an oiled machine, working efficiently and nearly without error. After the crew’s first major battle, their plane, the Super Man, lands safely although it is filled with over five hundred bullet holes. With the Super Man out of commission, the men are transferred to a less reliable plane, the Green Hornet. While out on a mission in the Pacific, the crew and its plane is shot down, leaving only three men alive. Louie, Phil, and Mac survive for weeks, but Mac eventually succumbs to insanity and dies at sea. In the end, the two men survive for forty-six days, only to be captured and placed in a miserable POW camp. They shuffle around, but stay prisoners until the war ends.

He barely had any clothes. In fact, in a recent interview he said he only had one shirt, one pair of pants, and one jacket. His apartment had no indoor plumbing and no indoor bathroom.

Even though Kennedy endured many hardships during his childhood, he grew up into a successful and ambitious man. He was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on May 29, 1917 to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. Although, to the public he was known as “Jack Kennedy”. John F. Kennedy was also prone to being ill. He suffered from many illnesses such as chickenpox, measles, and whooping cough.

The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States marked a tragic historical moment in American history. The president was fatally shot by a sniper while traveling with his wife, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally’s wife in a presidential motorcade at 12.30 pm on Friday, November 22, 1963. JFK was pronounced dead shortly after rushing to Parkland Hospital, where a tracheostomy and other efforts failed to keep him alive. Although Lee Harvey Oswald, a former United States Marine was convicted of the crime, the purpose behind the assassination remained inclusive as Oswald’s case never came to trial as he got shot to death two days later by Jack Ruby, a local nightclub operator in Texas. The assassination raised many questions and theories concerning the murder. As Oswald’s motives remain unknown, many scholars and investigators yearned to find the key to this mysterious crime, and came up with plausible theories searching for motives behind the assassination. While some straightforwardly blamed Oswald for the murder, claiming Oswald’s personal motives as the cause and supported the theory of the Lone Gunman, many developed more critical theories concerning conspiracies connecting the involvement of Cuba, Russia, the Central Intelligence Agency and the 36th President of the United States Lyndon B. Johnson. The Warren Commission was established by President Johnson to exclusively investigate the assassination. The Commission published a detailed report and concluded that Oswald acted alone. The deficiency of the Warren Commission’s evidence to support its theory along with the cordial relationship between JFK and the CIA refute both the Lone Gunman theory and conspiracies involving the CIA in...
During his tour of the South Pacific JFK’s vessel was split in half by a Japanese Destroyer which led to it beginning to sink. JFK was one of 11 survivors of the wreck, who were all fearing death by drowning or sharks, but perhaps their worst fear was capture by the Japanese who were notorious for their cruelty and inhumane treatment of Allied POWs in WWII. This incident tested Kennedy’s resolve and leadership in which both of them he triumphed, he towed the weaker swimmers to an island miles away, then swam to find another island where they could hopefully find help. Eventually they were saved by some natives and Australian forces when Kennedy wrote a message on a coconut to the Australians. It was this heroism that helped create his political image as a great American hero; also the book describes how he related to mother who lost their sons in the war by sharing in their grief because he too lost people important to him in the war. The event helped to give him an incredible resume and as an already charismatic person he gained more relatability to people who he hoped would vote for

John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address is a puissant speech that conveys a mighty theme. The steady use of fervent dialect stimulates in the crowd a sense of esteem and obligation, which makes the speech even more impressive. The structure of the diction enhances the ability for all people of the audience to connect. Beginning with an intimate remark and closing with a broad regard, marks the address as both authentic and propelling. Nevertheless, what is most effective is Kennedy’s skill to access the atmosphere of the crowd and examine the circumstances of the juncture that is primarily the cause for the prosperity of this distinguished
(Kennedy). Kennedy’s usage of “we” rather than “I” gives the audience a sense that they exist as part of something big, perhaps a family, while portraying Kennedy as a people’s president who desires to be a “person in the crowd.” Throughout his address, Kennedy establishes pathos mainly by appealing to American patriotism, a significant concept during the Cold War period in which Americans needed a jingoistic spirit to succeed.
