Pianist And Composer Beethoven
516 words
I. Education in general and in music Beethoven
came from a musical family, and his early musical
training was under his father's guidance. His
father taught him piano and violin. His general
education was not continued beyond the elementary
school. He was practically illiterate in math. As
a youth of 19, in 1789, Beethoven took legal steps
to have himself placed at the head of his family.
He petitioned for half his father's salary to
support his brothers. This act of self-assertion
is an indicat...

Albert Einstein was a famous scientist, writer and
professor. He was born in Ulm, Germany, on March
24, 1879. As a child, Einstein wasn't like the
other boys: he hated school but loved math. He was
shy, and talked very slowly. He didn't participate
in sports but instead played with mechanical toys,
put together jigsaw puzzles, built towers and
studied nature. At school and home he would ask
many questions and because of that everybody
thought he was dumb. Once when he was sick in bed,
his father...

Big Mistake Great Things
1,056 words
The theme of the book, The Eyes of the Dragon, by
Stephen King, is to stick to one's beliefs no
matter what happens and always do what one knows
is right. Don't give up on oneself; anything is
possible. King Roland was the noble king of
Delain. He was known as Roland the Good. He was,
by far, not a bad king, though he was really not a

Slavery And The Founding Fathers
419 words
When the issue of slavery and the Founding
Father's arise, it is clear that despite some of
their noble actions, the Founding Fathers were
indeed hypocritical to true American ideals in
both action and in thought. Among the Founding
Fathers, Thomas Jefferson's disposition on slavery
was ambiguous as he contradicted himself many
times on an issue that affected America for
hundreds of years. Not only did he show hypocrisy,
but also a weakness as a politician in boldly
expressing his views and acti...

his early school years and had dreams of becoming
an artist. Adolf actually had a pretty normal
childhood. On April 20, 1889, Adolf Hitler was

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Hamlet Father
529 words
Pleading with Hamlet not to follow the Ghost,
Horatio asks him to think about what might happen
if the Ghost "assume some other horrible form, /
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason /
And draw you into madness. Horatio believes that
the Ghost is not Hamlet's father in the form of a
ghost, but a spirit in the form of Hamlet's
father. That spirit could instantly take on
another shape or lure Hamlet to the edge of a
cliff, where the sight of the depth "so many
fathoms to the sea" puts "to...

talk about "Breakings", "Black Walnuts", and "My

Obedient Wife Beginning Kate Shrew
367 words
In the beginning, Kate appears to be quite a
shrew. However, this is due to her father's
treatment of her. Kate is not a shrew; she has
merely put on a shrew-like act to cover up the
humiliation and embarrassment that her father has
caused her. Her father seems as though he wishes
to be rid of her, and will pass her off to any man
willing to marry her, without regard for her own
feelings. He will not allow Kate's sister Bianca
to marry until he has ensured that he will be rid
of Kate, even thoug...
