Hildegard of Bingen was a genius during her time.
What I find most interesting is the fact that she
excelled at many subjects. Unlike Einstein, who
concentrated primarily on mathematics and
sciences, Hildegard wasnt just superb at composing
music but she also sought a large amount of study
in the field of science and medicine, religion,
and her visions that she claimed were sent
straight from God. It would be very simple to

Nervous Breakdown Emotional Problems

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is in my opinion one of
the greatest classical music composers of all
time. He also had one of the most interesting
lives I have ever read about. Although he suffered
through a large enormity of emotional problems and
nervous breakdowns, along with having to deal with
harsh instances of love and death, his music
reflects these emotions in a very beautiful way.
Tchaikovsky (also spelled Tchaikovsky or
Tchaikovsky, and often referred to as Peter), was

Order To Understand Word Of God
712 words
In order to understand how the Pentateuch came to
be we must take in account the culture of the
author, or perhaps more appropriately, the
authors. In the ancient times, writers were
characterized by the nonentity of their writings.
Instead of concerning themselves with minute
details, they focused on the moral implications of
the events involved. The same can be said about
the foundation of the Catholicism, which is the
connection of Scripture and Tradition in order to
understand the true impli...

Benedick Transformed To what extent is Benedick
changed by the end of the play, and how does
Shakespeare make this clear to us? At the
beginning of the play, Benedick appears as almost
a comic character, acting as if the most important
part of his character is his wit. However, by the
end of the play it becomes obvious that he is a
clear-thinking character who is able to take
action and keep his head in a crisis. The change
in Benedick's character is accompanied by the
