There is no doubt that Hector is the mightiest and undisputed warrior in the Trojan army. Despite being slain by Achilles, he lays waste to the Achaean army while Achilles is absent. However, even though he appears to be a competent leader, there tend to be perceptible flaws in his leadership, especially toward the end of Homer’s Iliad, when the Achaean army receives new strength when Patroclus and later Achilles himself joins them. It seems that Hector exhibits the trait of cowardice when he “turns coward and runs” ( Erwin Cook Ivi) from the Great Ajax twice in Book Continue reading...

The two protagonists of Homer’s Iliad and Shakespeare’s Coriolanus present similar sentiments. All three of them were great leaders of men and valiant fighters. It is unfortunate that these men were dragged into situations from where there could be no escape as they were, and had to live up to their heroic statures. There was a huge burden placed on them by their respective followers during war that they paid no heed to the consequence they would face when they faced off with their enemy. Therefore, there is no doubt that all the three of them; Hector, Continue reading...

Introduction
Modern psychology relies primarily in experimentation. Since animals and human beings constitute the subjects of experimentation, precautionary measures continue to improve the process of experimentation while producing the less possible amount of damage to animals or human beings. Thus, different models, approaches and theories keep coming up as to how to do experimentation in psychology for furthering research.
Danziger (1985) writes that the experimentation in psychology has evolved as a social institution (Danziger, 1985, p. 133). Similarly, Schultz (1970) recognizes that modern psychological experimentation is the result of a long history of developments that have shaped this science Continue reading...

The treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. Benjamin Franklin had insisted on the recognition of American independence by the British Empire. He had also refused to consider a peace separate from France, which was America’s great ally. The insistence was because he had rejected informal peace overtures for a settlement by the Great Britain, which would have provided a settlement for the thirteen states with some measure of autonomy. The cause for the recognition of the independence of America was due to the war between the Great Britain and America, which had lasted almost seven years. The Continue reading...

Lamborghini has toyed over the four-door concept car, the Lamborghini Estoque, since 2008. The first sedan sports car concept was unveiled in 2008 at the Paris auto show. This announcement raised interest among Lamborghini fans, but hopes of producing the four-door sedan has remained by the wayside.

Increased consumer interest in the Aston Martin Rapid and Porsche Panamera sedans raised interest from Lamborghini company executives to venture into the sedan market. Unlike Gallardo, Murcielago, or Aventador two-seat supercars, the four-door Lamborghini was expected to have its Continue reading...

Personal Narrative: Visit to France

I can recall the time I visited Paris, France like it was yesterday. I had been excited for months; the anticipation had grown to insurmountable proportions. My passport was ready and my bags were packed. I had repacked them twice, partially out of excitement and partially because I did not want to forget anything. I remember thinking, naively as I looked at my bedroom, house, and street the morning we left that this was the last time I would look at any of these places as a child. I would be returning a cultured adult who had seen the Continue reading...

In this chapter, the author Colin Westerbeck discusses the photographic prowess of two great Hungarian photographers, Brassai and Weegee. Although both artists come from completely different backgrounds, Westerbeck observes some common traits that are starkly similar, especially in particular exhibitions such as Brassai’s The Secret Paris in the 1930’s. This series of photographs exposes the horror and brutality of the Paris nightlife that was hidden away in the dark streets of the less fashionable quarters with drunkards, vagrants and prostitutes rampant – all are caught with stark immediacy by Brassai’s camera.
Westerbeck analyses this exhibition in considerable Continue reading...

Introduction:

I decided to visit the Norton Simon Museum of Art, 411 W. Colorado Blvd. Pasadena, corner of Orange Grove Blvd. and Colorado Blvd and can safely say that I was pretty much bowled over by the experience.

This is a truly seminal painting in French impressionist style and it Continue reading...

Pierre August Renoir: The Pont des Arts, Paris (1878, Oil on Canvas)

Renoir’s bold form of impressionism lent itself to a number of finely wrought paintings which definitely show his affinity with the landscape genre. This magnificent view of Paris in the late 19th century almost brings up memories of Proustian elegance with its cultivated beauty.
One of the most enlightening features of this painting is the manner in which the boats are portrayed as they laconically await other passengers to board them. Renoir uses bold brushwork to convey a heady sense of imagery and relaxation; this is an artistic form which permeates the whole painting. The glut of people Continue reading...

Movie review: ‘what time is it there’ and ‘pushing hands’

The two movies, ‘What time is it there’ and pushing hands are similar and also different in a number of ways. In both movies, we find at least two contrasting situations, for instance, in what time is it there, we realize that the two sittings we have totally different situations. They are Taipei, Taiwan and Paris, France. Chen Shiang-Chyi who goes to Paris finds totally different conditions there and she feels out of place, lonely and bored too. She misses sex and has to find another woman to help her ease it.
On the other hand in ‘pushing hands’, Continue reading...

Introduction

The two movies, Pushing Hands (1992) by Ang Lee and What Time is It There? (2001) by Tsai Ming-Liang, are all Taiwanese and share several differences as well as similarities. From the settings to characters through the storylines and themes, the two films depict certain similarities that most movie enthusiasts and analysts will notice, such as the theme of alienation of individuals who find themselves in a culture where things are starkly different than they expected, yet they must live there.

Similarities

This theme Continue reading...

COMPARE AND CONTRAST TWO FILMS

Both films involve people trying to recover from major setbacks in their lives and adapt to a new environment in the process.

The Trojan War is easily one of the most critical events in Greek Mythology as perhaps best emphasized in Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad. While there are variations in the accounts as to the causes of the War, the War that was waged by Achaeans against Troy, follows the loss of the King of Sparta’s wife to Paris. This does however remain largely debatable as regards its historical veracity, with beliefs that Homeric literature did exaggerate different things in line with varied poetic needs. This paper assesses the varied accounts of the primary and secondary factors that caused Continue reading...

Introduction:

Although the symphony as we know it today has a wide remit in terms of structure and organization, this was not always so. Initially the symphony started off as an overture to an opera or a piece of incidental music but this eventually changed to a rigid four movement symphonic structure which was then perfected by the giants of the classical symphony, Haydn and Mozart.

The first symphonies:

The first symphonies which came out of the New Viennese School were short pieces generally in three short movements lasting under ten minutes. One of the most famous composers of these types of symphonies Continue reading...

Movie making began long time ago. However, radical cinema came up in the early 1960s. Within the time given, there have been distinct ways to determine the creation of a movie.

The cinematic techniques include; first, the shots, improvisation, close-ups, camera location and type of lighting. Among other cinematic techniques include the use of jump cuts. They are the edits made in a continuous scene of footage, without having to transit hence Continue reading...

Introduction:

Huysman’s novel is an interesting and almost fateful indictment of Parisian society which focuses on the artificial and artistic collections with several aesthetic conundrums although the end result is surely quite agreeable. Huysman examines the decline of the aristocratic Jean Des Esseintes who is a recluse in his own world of art and decadence with a retrospect of the past in the salons of Paris.
In a way this novel is rather reminiscent of Marcel Proust’s ‘Remembrance of Things Past’ which also focuses on nostalgia and intellectual experiences. The main character Jean Des Esseintes is full of Continue reading...
