Washington: the Indispensible Man
Washington: The Indispensible Man
P1 George Washington was born into the British lineage; he took on the principles of what America knows as independence. He became the leader of the Revolutionary Army. In due course he also became the first president of the United States of America. The author of “Washington: The Indispensible Man” discuses Washington’s love life, feelings, and his habits. The book also gives a great perspective on not just Washington the legendary president but also him as a man. Assumingly, Washington was not born in to a wealthy life. Washington had to learn in the early stages of his life that hard work is the only way out of poverty. Unfortunately, Washington’s father died which put a barrier on his dream of attending school in England. Washington was an extraordinary man that set many precedents in the United States. The Author, James Thomas Flexner, depicts Washington as a son, husband, and stepfather as well as the Revolutionary war hero. George Washington was born on February 11, 1732, in Pope’s Creek, Virginia. The Washington family moved to a farmhouse up the Potomac River where they resided. The author of this book revolved around three themes that I think are accurate. The first one is love. Washington expresses love for his country and people. Although, the other love known as romantic love is shown through his spouses. Another theme that is shown in this book is duty. Washington always had the right mind set when it came time to get something done. His head was on straight with his priorities, even at a young age. The last theme we see in this book is ingenuity. Washington was sought out to be quite a clever man who was original and inventive. He always solved problems no matter how hard they seemed. An example was when Washington crafted the plantings and farms at Mount Vernon. He also developed tools to make chores much more easier. Even challenges he faced would not overcome him.
