London Call Of The Wild
1,508 words
London, Call of the Wild Jack London's Call of the
Wild is rightly considered as one of the greatest
masterpieces of English literature. It wouldnt be
too daring to suggest that at least two
generations of men that participated in First and
Second World Wars were greatly influenced by its
ideas. It appears as if this novel was meant to
strengthen people before the advent of great
twentieth century's trials and tribulations I
personally view London's masterpiece as much more
than just a great nov...

Dave Matthews Band Jerry Garcia

Who is the Dave Matthews Band? Five years ago that
question would have gotten nothing more than a
weird stare and a stupid look. But today you would
get everything but that. The Dave Matthews Band is
one of the most successful bands of the late 20 th
century. But many ask how a band so new has become
so successful in such a relatively short period of
time. Many come to wonder if it was their music,
their look, or possibly something else that has
made the Dave Matthews Band what they are today.

Quot Akc Org American Kennel Club Group

All dogs, impure as well as pure-bred, and several
wild cousins such as wolves and foxes, are one
family. Each breed was created by human beings,
using selective breeding to get desired qualities.
The result is an almost unbelievable diversity of
purebred dogs that will, when bred to others of
their breed, produce their own kind. A "
breed standard" is a written description of a
given breed. This description uses words to define
what a breed should look like. A standard exists

Wanted To Find Duke Ellington
1,035 words
Duke Ellington In a time when music was going
through a transformation from a ragtime style to a
jazz-blues fusion, Duke Ellington was there to add
his own style. There may have been many more
decorated composers and musicians, but Duke
Ellington revolutionized the way music was
written, and in the eyes of many, has earned the
title of being the great American Composer.

Francis Ford Coppola Forty Five

Following careful thought on which director to
study, I chose Francis Ford Coppola. Although he
has directed more films than I have had the
opportunity to experience, I have viewed enough to

directed about twenty-five films, produced near
forty-five, composed two, and acted in eight. He
is known predominantly for Apocalypse Now (1979)
and The Godfather I (1972), II (1974), and III
