Elizabethan Era Gothic Architecture
1,746 words
The Elizabethan Age was an innovative and unique
period in history. In this period architecture was
more than a profession, it was an art, and an
influence on the people. Architects in this period
made historical differences, the styles of
architecture transitioned greatness, and the homes
created an individual standing. Elizabethan
architecture was an influential "trend" in which
the "competition" for social division began, and
architects attempted to replicate Italian
Renaissance architecture....

Epic Of Gilgamesh Meaning Of Life
1,103 words
Stories do not need to inform us of anything. They
do inform us of things. From The Epic of
Gilgamesh, for example, we know something of the
people who lived in the land between the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers in the second and third
millenniums BCE. We know they celebrated a king
named Gilgamesh; we know they believed in many
gods; we know they were self-conscious of their
own cultivation of the natural world; and we know
they were literate. These things we can fix -- or
establish definitely. B...

Heaven. Tianxia was first of the entire physical
world, the arena in which human history was acted

Edgar Allan Poe Poe Short Stories
1,758 words
In "The Cask of Amontillado, " Edgar Allan Poe
uses several different artistic choices in the
construction of the story. He manipulates the
story to be the way he wants it to be by using the
point of view of the narrator, the setting, and a
common monotonous sentiment throughout. Poe is
successful in maintaining a "spirit of
perverseness" that is prevalent in most of his
works. The point of view plays a very important
role in influencing the reader's perception of the
story. The first line of th...

Russian Literature Of Anna Akhmatova

During Joseph Stalin's rule in Russia, many voices
were silenced. If there was a piece of literature,
news, or other such document that Stalin did not
view appropriate to publish, it was not published.
Stalin ran a totalitarian government in which he
oversaw all public affairs. Since he had final say
as to what the public was exposed to, nothing
negative regarding him was published. Stalin also
imprisoned many people for speaking out against
him. He also sentenced several millions to death.

Future King Main Hero

A big question that on everyones mind while
reading the Iliad is: Who is the real hero of the
epic? There are so many possibilities and yet each
of those characters has one sort of fault or
another. I believe that Hektor is the real hero of
the Iliad. He is the one character that stands
out, to me, and shows qualities of being noble,
wise and a true friend. Unfortunately heroes have
their mistakes and downfall. I am here to explain
why Hektor is one of the heros but not the main
hero. He cannot ...

on your utility bills, a mature landscape with

much as 15 percent. Of course, arbitrarily placing
these same energy-conserving plants can also
increase your utility bills. The more

In 1851 Great Britain was arguably the leader of
the industrial revolution and feeling very secure
in that ideal. The Great Exhibition of 1851 in
London was conceived to symbolize this industrial,

Britain. Just representing the feats of Britain
