The book I read was Seven Days in May by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II. It is set in Cold War era America in the Pentagon. The tension between the public and the president are the main focus in this story. Most of the people this book talks about are in the military and work for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff is presented as the antagonist in the book, whereas the protagonist is one of the people who works for him and catches word of a plan to stage a coup d’état. The Cold war plays a big part in this story because the planning of the coup was set off by the president wanting to sign a treaty with Russia to lay down their nuclear weapons.…
As time changes, so does the calendar. In 1793, the Gregorian calendar was replaced by a new one. Dates were moved, months renamed and the number of days in a week increased. The reason for a new calendar in France was to change and fix what was wrong in the original calendar. People who were with the new calendar approved it, for it provided more work and and a better resting day. For those who were against the new calendar, claimed that it made working life more difficult and that it was against nature.…
We live in a world where, without conflict, there is no entertainment. It is a convention of drama that there must be conflict between characters in order for it to be entertaining, and thus be successful. We can consider a text to be successful if the playwright is able to convey a view of a theme or issue to the audience that challenges our views as he or she originally intended. Through the conflicting views of characters, the audience is often exposed to attitudes and opinions different to their own. The One Day of the Year, by Alan Seymour, is a play that examines how through both the internal and external conflicts of different characters, we are exposed to an array of contrasting opinions, therefore validating the statement that this…
In the technological discovery of the Mayan Calendar; which has been in use since the 1st Century BC and is still in use today, the coding and de-coding of key dates and times from Gregorian to Mayan, or vice versa, and how theses dates are coded are all obstacles that have been faced. Although, the process does impose quite a few restrictions upon whoever is trying to decipher it. With this being said, the Mayan’s created a very technical and in-depth process for figuring out the day, month and year; something that we take for granted in this vast and ever-growing technological age.…

Light in August, a novel written by the well-known author, William Faulkner, can definitely be interpreted in many ways. However, one fairly obvious prospective is through a religious standpoint. It is difficult, nearly impossible, to construe Light in August without noting the Christian parallels. Faulkner gives us proof that a Christian symbolic interpretation is valid. Certain facts of these parallels are inescapable and there are many guideposts to this idea.…

1) Through the Revealing World Religions text I was able to learn the origin of the junzi. In Confucianism, the true personality followers should aspire to imitate is the sheng, which translates to sage. Because this is hard to obtain, Confucius created junzi. Junzi, translated as gentleman, is more easily obtainable by individuals. Junzi is second only to the sheng (or sage) as defined by Zhu Xi in in the BBC documentary Genius of the Ancient World.…

The day America gained its victory over Japan when they finally ceased fighting, a war that has been going on since the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, was a day that will always be remembered. This day, also known as V-J Day, occurred on August 14th, 1945 but is still celebrated on the next day, August 15th. When Japan surrendered, shouts of joy were heard all across the United States as President Truman announced that war between Japan and America were finally coming to an end. Alfred Eisenstaedt, photographer hired by LIFE magazine, was walking the streets of Times Square in New York City the day America was informed that Japan had surrendered (V-J Day in Times Square 1). Celebrating, the people of New York as well as the overjoyed men and women in uniforms, were walking along the streets, leaping with joy.…
