  10. VL #25 Detail Consider: “To those who saw him often he seemed almost like two men: one the merry monarch of the hunt and banquet and procession, the friend of children, the patron of every kind of sport; the other the cold, acute observer of the audience chamber or the Council, watching vigilantly, weighing arguments, refusing except under the stress of great events to speak his own mind.” --Winston Churchill, “King Henry VIII,” Churchill’s History of the English-Speaking Peoples Discuss: 1. Churchill draws attention to the contrasting sides of Henry VIII through detail. How is the impact of this sentence strengthened by the order of the details’ presentation? 2. What is Churchill’s attitude toward Henry? What specific details reveal this attitude? Apply: Think of someone you know who has two strong sides to his/her personality. Using Churchill’s sentence as a model, write a sentence which captures—through detail—these two sides.
