This article is about John McCain’s recent death and how he will be remembered. McCain was a United States senator that passed away from Glioblastoma at the age of 81. However, he fulfilled his life with immense heroic behavior. The senator also publicly made it known that he disagreed with President Trump’s leadership and values. In fact, he decided that Trump will not be invited to his funeral a year before he passed.

Before reading this article I knew very little about the things John McCain had accomplished in his life. The article talked a lot about the great things he did, such as serving our country for over 40 years. However, the heavy portion of it was about the relationship between him and Trump. I would say the reading could have a positive and negative influence because most of the topics explain what he has done with his life. Overall, the article did a wonderful job displaying John McCain’s legacy that will live on. It is important to know what is going on between people running our country. This made me want to pay more attention to relevant political relationships. This relationship between Trump and McCain relates to a time in history in 1804. Founding father, Alexander Hamilton and Vice President Aaron Burr. The two greatly disagreed, similarly to Trump and McCain. It was also made very known to the public that the two do not view politics that same. Thankfully, Trump and McCain were much more peaceful and did not end in a duel. John McCain was a strong leader and lived an inspiring life. He was a man of his beliefs and was never afraid to voice his opinion.
John McCain's life had a great impact and will be remembered. His relationship with Trump is very interesting, especially since they were members of the same party. He has made minimal statements since McCain's death which is very telling of Trump's opinion. I found it interesting that you compared Trump and McCain to Hamilton and Burr, as I had not thought of it that way, but it's a very relevant comparison.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about the same man because he was very influential and significant to the American story. I agree with all your points and opinions. It's sad how articles can't honor a true Americans life because they had to bring politics into it. If that was you dead and you were looking down on people honoring your story, but at the same time disrespecting you by bringing in their own views, how would you feel? Anyways great article. - Joey German

ReplyDeleteIt is very sad that John McClain passed away. I am glad that he will be remembered and that he left a great impact in a lot of peoples lives. And it is upsetting how the stories about him have to have politics and Trump all over them, instead of honoring him.
