Medieval Europe Cultural Change

The Black Death discusses the causes and results
of the plague that devastated medieval Europe. It
focuses on the many effects it had on the culture
of medieval Europe and the possibility that it
expedited cultural change. I found that Robert S.

argued that rodent and insect life cycles, as well
as the changing of weather systems affect plague.
He claimed that the devastation plague causes is
partly due to its perpetual recurrences. Plague

Christmas in Spain is a very joyous and religious
time of year. You will see that a Spanish

One of the most important decisions that an author
has to make when writing a story is how it is to
be presented to the reader. Whether its going to
be a first or a third person narrative, what kind
of language is to be used, and the writing style
of the author himself, play an immense role in the
story. In A&P, John Updike's detailed description
of the world through Sammy's eyes helps to bring
out the theme onto a level at which the reader
could relate to the story. The use of figurative

Chose Venice Warm Inviting Life
413 words
Life to Gustave von Aschenbach meant more than
simply living; rather, an entirely differently
definition is used. To him, life was abstaining
from art; but to take up art is to deny life. Thus
the artist becomes the individual, and life that
which he envies. All too late to realize this,
Aschenbach, in his final years, finally seeks life
outside his works. Unfortunately, without the
rhythm and dutiful nature his art brought him, he
became lost. To re-identify himself, he chose
Venice to vacation...

Plate Tectonics Ocean Basins
