Music. It heals wounds‚ relieves stress and motivates people. Music is everywhere‚ whether it is played in pubs and clubs‚ or cars and spas: there is even evidence that cavemen were jammin’ in their caves. In the past however‚ music took serious talent to make. One would have to dedicate years to learning an instrument‚ and write songs that aren’t just catchy‚ but ‘speak’ to an audience‚ with passionate meaning underpinning behind the lyrics. Nowadays the music industry is expanding rapidly; seemingly

male poets such as Jonathan Swift and Thomas Gray. Women were gaining a sense of independence and emancipation from the traditional patriarchal rule‚ and this was occurring at an increasingly rapid pace. Many female poets of the time wrote works that dealt with the treatment of women by men‚ and how they are slaves to masculinity. At the same time‚ these women were degrading men to the role of an oppressing tyrant. Male poets‚ such as Jonathan Swift and Thomas Gray‚ began to react to the negative

Watts 1963‚ 1995 I chose this particular painting by Kerry James Marshall because the three children within the painting remain me Vera‚ Buddy‚ and Bigger Thomas. The black shadow beneath each of the children is representing the cruelty‚ hatred‚ and lack of possibilities in their lives. Bigger is the boy curled into a fetal position upon the ground engulfed by the darkness around him because he decided to wallow in self-pity. He does not seek advancement in any area of his life because it is easier

When researching the two philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke‚ I have come to a realization that they are both correct considering people are themselves no matter. When looking at a majority though I tend to side with John Locke. People are genuinely more loving and helpful people when it comes down to the bare minimum. For example when there is a natural disaster people are typically more helpful than harmful. One of the most recent examples is the two hurricanes that hit the south-eastern

Thomas Hobbes was an atheist and a republican who believed everyone was born selfish and that peace and security were fundamental to society. In regards to his philosophy‚ Hobbes would be against the legalization of prostitution. It teaches children and young adults that it is okay to sell your body and be seen as an object. It also puts people at a higher risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease which doctors will waste thousands of dollars trying to treat‚ even though there is no cure. Finally

someone that you think highly of. Thomas Edison was a great man. He invented the lightbulb and imagined many things that are honorable. His inventions are too many to mention in the space and time allowed. His contribution to science has forever changed the subject. His never give up attitude is best described when he said this about himself “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10‚000 ways that won’t work.” Born on February 11‚ 1847‚ in Milan‚ Ohio‚ Thomas Edison rose from humble beginnings

Mitchell Thomas certainly directed a show to remember with 100 minutes of intense suspense and grief. Thomas’s seemingly classic portrayal of Blood Wedding(Bodas de Sangre) did justice to the original by Federico Garcia Lorca under a new form by Tanya Ronder. Though Blood Wedding focuses on a tale of love and murder‚ Elena White (Death) steals the Porter Theatre show with her lurking darkness and creepy stares. From the start‚ Elena captivates the audience with her non-verbal communication through
