behavior. We have become accustomed to being fascinated by abnormal development and behavior‚ as is reflect in the media of today. One current song that I feel speaks to the idea of normal human development and behavior is the song‚ “7 Years” by Lukas Graham. I believe that this song does a good job of outlining societal expectations over the course of the lifespan. The first age that is mentioned in the song is seven years. A quote from this part of the song that speaks to human development is‚ “Once

Curley’s Wife: Floozy or Innocent Girl? Curley’s wife is a young‚ pretty woman‚ who is mistrusted by her husband‚ Curley. The other characters refer to her only as ‘Curley’s wife‚’ which is significant as she is the only character in the novel without a name. She is a simple object or possession belonging to her husband and this shows the severity of the sexual discrimination in America in 1930s. I believe Steinbeck would have thought of her not as a person but a symbol. Almost everyone on the ranch

Innocent III ’s Papal Influence over the Fourth Crusade Research Paper Brandon Rosty The Crusades-HIST-239 Prof. Moran Cruz For much of history‚ the papacy has been viewed as a driving force behind the Crusades‚ the papacy of Innocent III being a particularly good example. Ever since the days of Gregory VII from 1073-1085‚ and his early ideas of Crusades‚ and Urban II’s call for the First Crusade in 1095‚ the papacy has served as an instigator of plans that have often

In Stanley Kauffman’s review of Flight of the Innocent he talks about the “egregious huge close-ups‚ pointless slo-mo‚ intrusive fantasies‚ irrelevant prettinesses”. I strongly agree with this opinion because throughout the film you see horrendous close ups of Scarface (especially when he died because of the atrocious acting)‚ awful slow motion of Vito running away from the attackers because that creates a lack of suspense that is needed at a faster pace. The useless fantasy of Vito dreaming of a
