Winston Churchill




“There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”- WinstonChurchill

Winston Churchill was a A noted statesman and orator, an officer in the British Army, a historian, a Nobel Prize-winning writer, and an artist. He is probally best known as the British Prime minister. He was a strong political leader from who many famous quotes are taken from today. In the midst of all this, he also had to cope with a bipolar disorder.

Biopolar disorder, also called manic depression, is when a person goes from super overjoyed, to dangerously depressed or angry in a matter of seconds. Its like the crazyiest mood swings that happens through out the day.

This condition probally made him difficult to be around at times and I think that it also influences some of the outbursts he was known to have and also contritubted to some of his passion during his high points and ecelerated them when he began to go to an angry low point.

I feel that it would be terrible to have this disorder. You never know if today your going to be overjoyed or on the brink of a break down in a split second. Its got to be a wild internal battle.

I like your opinion, it's well explained. You should add more of your views.

I think the way you talk about his condition was well done. It shows that a high ranking man can also have tough times. You also explained your idea on him. You get a 97 :D

You covered all the points necessary extremely well, but I think you could have possibly used better transitions between each paragraph. Other than that, great! :)

Good job!

IT SUCKS!

Just kidding..

Expand a little more on how you feel and stuff because it seemed kinda rushed. Your diagnostic skills were fairly accurate, though.

98.

I like how you listed his accomplishments before you went into his psychological disorders. It shows that people with psyhcological disorders can still become important and famous people. 100!

I like how you made everything short and simple! :) It was very informing and efficient. You could expand on his life by explaining how he became such a prestigious man. But overall, great job! I'd give you a 97.

i like how explained clearly what bipolar is, and your right it is extremely difficult to be around someone when they have it and are at a low point. windows break and stereos fly around the room...scary stuff. i think you could have used few more details just for elaboration but it's still great

The background information on Winston Churchill was excellent. I am curious about the different outbursts that he supposedly had, and what kinds of emotions he expressed.
