Homework Help: History- check my essay!

Posted by Anya on Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 9:59am.

Can someone tell me what they think of what I wrote? Here is the question and my answer: Write a well-organized essay explaining how either Winston Churchill or Franklin Roosevelt demonstrated or failed to demonstrate the two leadership qualities you selected as most important.

Write or type the answer below and submit it to your teacher by the due date to receive full credit. Remember you will be graded on content, organization, and mechanics (grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure).

Answer:

Winston Churchill, a strong leader who told it like it was. He was a true British man. Churchill was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in. He would never give up or surrender. Churchill would always have the British spirit within him, all the time. Winston Churchill was a true leader and had the good qualities of a leader.
Franklin Roosevelt held many qualities of a great leader. They helped him to lead the country as the longest person to be president. Roosevelt acted as the voice of the people. Roosevelt had to protect a great nation while maintaining little interests behind him. Roosevelt was the voice of the people and he stride in creating and helping new opportunities for them. Franklin was a great leader because of his qualities.
To me, I believe that the most important qualities of a leader are the way they care for their people. Never giving up and being strong is another wonderful quality of a leader. Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt demonstrated these qualities greatly. Though no leader was absolutely perfect, as no one is, the qualities of Churchill and Roosevelt showed wonderful qualities that made them true leaders, and made difference in history.

Anya: Being obstinate and being British is not leadership.

Your essay is fluff. You need to focus on leadership traits, and how they demonstrated them. Read her the section on Leadership traits.
