Ludwig Van Beethoven Sonata Form
1,481 words... wig Van Beethoven The rise of Ludwig van Beethoven into the ranks of history's greatest composers was paralleled by and in some ways a consequence of his own personal tragedy and despair.

Unlike Many Cultures Tradition To Such A Degree Namesake
458 wordsIn China Achebes Marriage Is a Private Affair, the discrepant values of Namesake and his father dictate their fates. However, this assumption rests on the premise that fate is a transient and alterable condition. Originally, Okekes steadfast Christian beliefs and commitment to tradition prompt a fissure between father and son. However, as Ocher begins to reconsider his integrity he also unintentionally dictates his future. Familial obligations are rescinded in place of individual integrity. Ache...

Sugar Cane Hard Working
964 wordsAccording to Graeme Turner, Audiences make films mean; they dont merely recognize the meanings already secreted in them, (Turner 144). Turners idea states that several meanings of a film can be adopted depending on how the audience perceives what they have seen. Euzhan Palcys, Sugar Cane Alley, is a film that is an oppositional reading because it shows a black community that is hard working, resourceful, and family oriented. This reading veers away from the common stereotypes that a preferred re...

Wharton Starkfield Red
324 wordsIn much the same way as Theodore Dreiser, Edith Wharton sets her themes on isolation, despair, hopelessness, and bad relationships. She does this with a poetic flair that belies her work in that genre. Winter is used to show the bleakness and the unforgiving nature of the elements. For example, "Here the snow was so pure that the tiny tracks of wood-animals had left on it intricate lace-like patterns, and the bluish cones caught in its surface stood out like ornaments of bronze. " Wharton's cont...

Things In Common True Friend
717 wordsEver since I was a child, my daddy raised me to recognize and appreciate various kinds of friends. There are three different kinds of friends in this life. I classify them according to how well I know them and how well they know me. We encounter each of them everyday, whether in school, home, or at the gym. However, we rarely spend much time actually thinking about and classifying these people. First, there are the "pest friends"- general acquaintances. Next, there are "guest friends"- social pa...

Needed To Explain Train Of Thought Hobbes
799 wordsThomas Hobbes wrote Leviathan as a testament on how to run a country. In fact, it is very comparable to Machiavelli and his works. Hobbes is a monarchist, and an absolutist as his works reflect. His work came about during political instability, as it was published in 1651. Though his philosophy of the universe is fairly elementary, his views on absolute sovereignty and commonwealths are brilliant. The introduction states Hobbes belief that civil peace and social unity are best achieved by the es...

Pope And Fielding Ridiculous And Funny Story
869 wordsThe effectiveness of the treatment of burlesques can be seen through two stories namely Henry Fieldings Joseph Andrews and Alexander Popes The Rape of Lock. These novels are two fine examples of incongruous imitation, the form that imitates the manner (form and style) and subject matter of a serious work. The serious work for Fielding was Samuel Richardson's novel Shame and the Greek epics (homer, Virgil) for Pope. Fielding and Popes books are from the same school that being satire, but although...
