... actual reoccurring characters, of which I am about to share with you along with a brief description of each. First off, of course, is Charlie Brown. He wins your heart with his losing ways. It always rains on his parade, his baseball game, and his life. He’s an stong willed boy who is afraid of arguments. Although he is concerned with the true meaning of life, his friends sometimes call him “blockhead.” Other than his knack for putting himself down, there are few sharp edges of wit in that head of his; usually he’s the butt of a joke, not the joker. He can be spotted a mile away in his sweater with the zig zag trim, head down, han ...

... To fulfill his dream he moved to Vienna where the academy of arts was located. Adolf failed to be accepted to the academy in 1906. In 1907 he tried again and was confident that he would make it in. To his surprise he failed again to be accepted into the academy. The dean of the academy told Adolf that he could never be a painter (Smith 29). This rejection crushed him, as he now had nowhere else to go. I like to speculate what would have happened if he had been accepted into the academy. Would the world have been spared World War II?

Lindbergh met with them and despite the unimpressive headquarters, he walked away im ...
