One such change was the dawn of the age of enlightenment also referred to as the age of reason. The historical perspective of the novel may be lost because of Montesquieu’s extensive use of satire. However, it is intended to draw the attention of the reader towards the primary themes ...

More than a hundred years ago, it would have been hard to find a clear association with San Diego. In fact, it was a small town that did not differ much from any other city in the south of the USA.

They put in a great deal of effort in order to keep a fragile beauty of nature and open special places for the needs of the community. In 1909, a City Council committee decided to take advantage of the former devotion to ...

Each and every piece of art is being connected to some particular period of history: to its key events, to its main personalities. The appearance of the photography has made the artists’ reactions onto some particular events even more intense, as it gave them much more freedom for the creation. Nowadays, one of such key issues of the modern world is the terrorism and each artist sees this issue differently, putting his or hers own sense in it. What do pictures tell the viewer? First of all, they teach to think and to try to find some hidden elements ...

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” comprises, in only 2200 words, so much cleverly built suspense, that it has become one of his most renowned works. In the story, an unreliable narrator, a mad murderer, tells the story of his murder in order to convince the audience that he is not mad. The story is rich in symbolism and in clues which allow the readers to make sense of the events, to anticipate the murder and to understand the reasons for the narrator’s crime.

The World’s Columbian Exposition, which was a fair in 1893 that commemorated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s landing in America, meant much for Chicagoans since it would allow the city to gain much needed revenue for the city which had endured a fire more than two decades ago in 1871.

An Examination of Style and Performance

Introduction Joseph Haydn may be the most underrated of all the great composers, especially when it comes to his piano music. Music students in every field, remain taught that Haydn is the “father of the Symphony.” It is this fact that keeps the student from seeking out, discovering, and delighting in his brilliant, often difficult, but worth the challenge of playing Haydn’s late keyboard compositions. Haydn’s major keyboard works are sonatas, generally representing his growth from his early years until 1794 with completion of his final three sonatas. According to Gordon (1996), Haydn often set the ...

A Response to Jeremy Butler

This is a response paper wherein I have chosen a commentary written by Jeremy Butler, entitled Classical Narrative Structure: Exposition, Climax, Resolution. It explains the conventional narrative form that filmmakers follow. Butler cites examples from the popular movie Raiders of the Lost Ark in order to support his statements. While the commentary is precise, concise and well written, structurally it seems to be an incomplete read. It is well written and is to the point. For instance, Butler has not given an introduction about the article; instead he has jumped straight to the body where he begins with his first ...

Introduction

In spite of the literal connotation that seems to occurrences that take place at home or domestically, domestic violence does not always remain at home.

Every day, many employees are reporting incidences of workplace violence and most of these incidences are related to domestic violence. Dometic violence not only poses a threat ...

Introduction

In his Streichquartett, Beethoven takes motivic material generated in Theme Groups 1 and 2 of the sonata exposition, and expounds upon them in the different transitional sections of the piece.

The plan of this paper is first to identify the different areas where Beethoven borrows the motivic material and thus make explanations of the differences in existence as follows: Structural, harmonic and textural.

Exit through the Gift Shop is a 2010 about contemporary art, where the Frenchman Thierry Guetta is seen documenting the history of the street art movement with his camera; nevertheless, he turns this around and starts proposing himself as an artist instead. The film displays many different artists and the variations between them: technique, conception of art, ways to relate to each other, etc. One of the most interesting aspects of the movie lies in the anonymity of the artist Banksy, and Guetta’s relation to him, as it allows him to believe that he, without fame or recognition, could ...

The exposition of the attachment theory explains a critical phenomenon in the life of humanity and psychology. From the previous study of young children and ...

Discrimination, however, manifests in a negative way. In this regard, the person treated differently is essentially disfavoured over the other persons even though naturally he or she is entitled to the same treatment or in some cases even better treatment.

An industrial city is one whose start-up and growth can be attributed to the presence of industries in its current location. Industrial cities sprung up in many European countries during the industrial revolution in the 18th century. The cities appeared in full development of the industrial capitalism which was the core upon which many of today’s most powerful economies were built (Stave, P. 10). The urban cultural role of the cities augured well with the capitalistic economic order that dominated all the other social institutions (Henretta & Brody, 18). Wherever industries were located people settled there in search of ...
