twice. Roosevelt held office during two of the
greatest crises ever faced by the United States:
the Great Depression of the 1930 s, followed by
World War II. His domestic program, known as the

Pride And Prejudice Lady Catherine
1,730 words
Jane Austen, like her most beloved heroine,
Elizabeth Bennet, is a keen observer of the nature
of man in society. To simplify her studies, and to
give her readers a better understanding of the
concept of Pride and Prejudice, Austen does not
focus our attention on the larger social structure
as a whole, but skillfully directs our
consideration only to a small, isolated segment of
the society. In Pride and Prejudice, Austen
scrutinizes a microcosm, people dwelling within
similar cultural and socia...

The portrait. A single person immortalized forever
on canvas. At first glance, you only see the
subject. With a more analytical eye, though, you
not only see the image but you begin to hear the
voice of the painter and of his time. This is what
I hope to do, to feel and understand the mind of
the painter Ingres when he painted Louis-Francois
Bertin and Reynolds when he painted General John
Burgoyne. In the portrait of Bertin, Ingres has
captured on canvas a man who has never been
