in print is primarily sacred music. This music,
for the most part, is in the form of sections of
the Mass, such as the Gloria, Kyrie and Agnus Dei.
Most people of the Middle Ages were poor peasants
who worked all day for meager wages and had no
idle time lounging the way the upper classes did.
Therefore, there are few extant secular
compositions of music from this era. The rise of a
new middle class, however, gave financial freedom
for some people...

controversial one, to say the least. Many people
misunderstand Mark Twain s intentions when he
wrote this book. He just wanted to tell a story,
not preach hate. He does a very good job of
demonstrating the culture of the late eighteen
hundreds. In no way is The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn aimed at belittling the African
American Race, it merely illustra...

Hand To Hand Middle Ages

Why Didn t They Just Play Nice? Sports in the

Streetcar Named Desire One Can Understand

would be called the golden age brought upon the

and unimportance. The 50 s brought in the music of
Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis and the
entertainment value of the Annie Oakley show. All
of which had a certain revolutionary quality.
Elvis brought America sex appeal and caused what
was later seen as a great loss of morality among
