Only one of these facts are true. Washington did have false teeth. His
false teeth were made of whale bone and deer antlers. He never chopped down
a cherry tree, and unless his pitching arm was better than that of any
professional baseball player, he could have never thrown anything across
the river. The most startling fact is that he wasn't even the first
president.
Our first president was John Hanson. He was elected president of
the thirteen states in the Confederation. After Hanson, there were more
before Washington. There was Elias Boudinot, Thomas Mifflin, Richard Henery
and Cyrus Griffin.

who were Scottish immigrants. Here he learned the english language and the
Protestant faith. Later on in his life he recalled "how I fought with the
Scotch boys and made schoolboy love to the Scotch girls, with more success

revolutionary French literature, Greek, English and some philosophy. The

1984: Winston's Hatred Of Big Brother
716 Words - 3 Pages.... Party, and he was not himself when he said he
loved Big Brother. Winston, the Party's opposition, had the only hope to
rebel. Winston wrote in his diary "if there is hope, it lies in the
proles."
Winston was sane and acted upon feelings knowing he would be
executed for them. When Winston first met Julia, he thought that she was a
spy and he wanted to bash in her skull. When he read her message which was
"I love you", he was stunned and also pleased that someone had feelings for
him. If Winston was totally under Big Brother's power he wouldn't have felt
the urge to return the love, and have the anxiety of wondering if she did
really love him rather then just throwing away th ....

asked her to come to his room later that day. When she arrived he tried to force
her to have sex with him. He should also have showed her his thing. She turned
him down and he gave up and said that she should forget all about this. That is
what she has told, we are still waiting to hear Bill Clinton's statement.
Another big problem to Bill is that he has been unable to fulfil those very big
promises he gave during his election campaign in 1992. That has given his
credibility and the polls a big push down. One of his promises was his health
