The Truman Show and The Hunger Games, portray control through the oppression of powerful stakeholders. Within The Hunger Games, control is shown through the environment as well as fear.

    A Comparison between Julius Caesar and Hunger Games

    Did you ever realize that the Hunger Games and Julius Caesar have a lot of similarities? Not just Julius Caesar, but also the whole Ancient Roman Empire itself.

There is an old Greek myth that exists where fourteen Athenian boys and girls are sent to Crete to fight for their lives to keep their city, like Katniss does to keep district twelve.…

    Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach Germany in 1685. Bach could sing very well and studied Latin, Greek and theology in St. Michael’s School. He played organ in a church at Arnstadt when he was 18. The church didn’t really like him because of his improvisational style of the songs. So he walked to Lubeck to study with a famous organist Buxtehude. Buxtehude liked Bach so much that he offered to give him a job if he married his daughter, in which Bach declined. Some of his career moves include working as an organist to the Duke of Weimar from 1708 to 1717, moving to Cothen to be the leader of an orchestra to Prince Leopold from 1717 to 1723, and then Bach was appointed Cantor of the St Thomas School. By 1725, he has written 2 complete cycles of cantatas. By 1729 he has written 4 complete cycles of cantatas (200 cantatas!). In 1748, Bach was losing his eyesight and eventually went blind. He died in 1750 at the age of 65. Bach’s Lutheran faith was an important aspect of his music life, in which he writes “To the Glory of God” in many of his works. He was a master of contrapuntal arts and helped create the well-tempered tuning system we use to this day. In his lifetime Bach has composed over 1000 musical works.…
