Q3.Review
The wicked wit of Winston
Churchill by Dominique enright
Winston Churchill is synonymous with the Second World War and
the defeat of Nazism, and his name will be forever remembered in British and
indeed world history, predominantly for his role in the Allied victory in 1945.
However, Winston Churchill: The Greatest Briton uncovers other sides to this
famous leader, whose life encompassed careers as a soldier journalist, at
various times a Liberal and a conservation politician, historian and
biographer. It provides a detail examination, partly biographical and partly
anecdotal, of the work and life of one of the most remarkable figures of the
twentieth century. Packed with examples of Churchill's legendary sayings,
quotations from his world-famous speeches and broadcasts, and from his writings (including the magisterial
six-volume Italics this new book examines an almost unequalled political career
that spanned nearly sixty years.
It is a colourful, vibrant and
highly readable appreciation of a man whose life and work remain as significant
in today’s global arena as they did at the height of the Second World War. He
took his seat in parliament in the reign of Queen Victorìa,
and died when Lyndon Johnson was in his second year as US President. He fought
as a soldier in four campaigns and as a war correspondent madean
epic escape from Boer captivity. He wrote histories, biographies, memoirs, and
even a novel, while his journalism, speeches and broadcasts run to millions of
word from 1940 he inspired and united the British people on the brink of defeat
a guided their war effort first to resist and ultimately to crush the axis
powers Sir Winston Churchill was also a man of vast humanity and enormous wit.
His most famous speeches and sayings have passed into history but many of his
aphorisms, puns and jokes are less well known. This enchanting collection
brings together hundreds of his wittiest and wickedest quips as a record of all
that was best about this lovable, infuriatingly conceited, wildly funny, and brilliantly
talented Englishman.
Q4. How the essay was completed

essay during class,and we
were all given a week to think about a topic we wanted to do. We went to our
local school library and got books out. We also went on the Internet and looked
up for information the information came from Microsoft Encarta, we then read
the books and information from the net. We planned out our essay and wrote out
first draft added on little bits from books and checked all the dates. We typed
up essay using Microsoft Word, printed it out made changes and corrections.
Then I printed it out and put it onto the school website.
