Winston Churchill's Leadership
The Leader of the 20th Century
On the brink of December coming, in the late 19th century, came out a infant by the name of Winston Churchill on November 30th, 1874. During Winston’s early life as a kid, he was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. Life at this time was typical and and generic for a baby boy in the late 1800’s, so fast forward through 8 years and here is where his education starts as a child. He first went to school, starting 1882, and began his education at St. George’s School from 1882 to 1884. He would be sent away from home, for several weeks, and be with a nursery where he will be taught lessons by a head master. This wasn’t strict though, because according to Winston he still had fun, since he was only 8 years old

    “He spun round just in time to see Mrs. Parsons dragging her son back into the doorway while the boy pocketed a catapult.” This shows how the children were treated in the society in which he lives in. Winston also has a last name which is a very common. This is ironic because Winston stands out from society and is rebellious to his government. He also starts to write his diary and questions the government unlike the rest of society.…

    The quote I have chosen is, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm”. This is one of Winston Churchill's most well known quotes. This quote was said during his reign as the Prime Minister of Great Britain. It is unknown as to where this quote came from but I found it to be very captivating. I feel like Churchill is trying to get the point across that in life it is normal to not be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes and each failure shapes you as a person. Churchill is saying that if you put your mistakes in the past without changing who you are, it makes you stronger and more successful than someone who fails to do so. Being afraid of failure gets you nowhere in life so Churchill is stating that everyone should strive with great enthusiasm in order to be their best self.…

    Winston began his diary on April 4th, 1984. This diary, any diary, is forbidden by law. He was inspired to start this diary when he saw the book of “smooth creamy paper” in a junk-shop that party members were forbidden to go into. He rearranged the TV to a different part of the room so that he would have a small space that was not visible by “Big Brother”, and that is where he began his diary. He drew a blank in the very beginning and then suddenly began writing what he called a “stream of rubbish”. It concerned films of war.…

    Ironically, Winston's job requires him to rewrite history rather than preserve it. Whenever the party must correct their inconsistencies, they simply obliterate all evidence pertaining to actual events, including people. This is another societal grievance addressed in 1984 that parallels the actions of many western governments. As a result of the blatant defecation of the truth and the national acceptance of semiliteracy and submission, Winston is never sure of the time. Winston assumes to the best of his recollection that he is thirty-nine years old. However, he painstakingly recalls the deaths his mother and sister at the hands of the party. He acknowledges how his own greed and childhood malice attributed partially to the mania and deprivation that afflicted and subsequently destroyed his family. For these reasons Winston never trusts the party but serves it out of both obligation and…

    In the beginning Winston goes against the law and secretly buys a journal to write in, even though if he is caught he will be taken away forever. He would have to face Big Brother, but Winston was willing to take the chance. Many times he reads throughout the novel “ War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength”. Which is the official saying of the Party. While attempting to write in the journal Winston found himself only being able to write “Down with Big Brother” repeatedly. He always found himself confused on what to do but always believed that he would never conform into one of them!…
