Even with his diverse experience as an elected official at the state level, Andrew Johnson was the first
president of the United States ever to be impeached, primarily because of his violent temper and unyielding
stubbornness. His career started in 1828 with his collection to the city council of Greenville, Tennessee, and after
two years as an alderman, he took ofice as mayor. His advancements followed in
rapid succession when he was
elected to the Tennessee state senate, then as the state governor, and later to the U.S. House of Representatives for
five consecutive terms.
In 1864, Johnson ran for the office of vice-president on the Lincoln- Johnson ticket and was inaugurated in
1865. After Lincoln's assassination six weeks into his
term, Johnson found himself president at a time when
southern leaders were concerned about their forced alliance with
the northern states and feared retaliation for their
support of the secession. Instead, however, with the diplomatic skill he had learned from Lincoln, Johnson offered
full pardon to almost all Confederates on the
condition that they take an oath of allegiance. He further reorganized
the former Confederate states and set
up legislative elections.
Congressional opposition to his peace- making policies resulted in gridlock between the House and
Johnson. and the stalemate grew into an open conflict on the issue of the emancipation of slaves. While Johnson

liberties intelligentily,

Reud thefollowing passage and Indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 o 50.

Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and the
formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms. When used to suggest a
tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end they are just labels. Few films are
exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an important difference between
realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten. Realism is a particular type, whereas physical
reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually, all movie directors go
to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material- how they shape and
manipulate it- determines their stylistic emphasis.
Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum of
distortion. In photographing objects and events, the Filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of life itself. Both
realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of
reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious. Realists, in short, to preserve the illusion that
their film world is unmanipulated, an objective mirror the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no
such pretense. They deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a
manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing. We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist
tends to be self-effacing. The filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated.
The camera is used conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that produces the surface of tangible
objects with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness.
It is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic cinema specializes in art that
conceals art.
