Lincoln's Legacy
... to keep the
American society united.
Lincoln also stated that a great civil war is something that is very
difficult for a nation to endure. The Constitution states that we must create
and maintain a more perfect union. That is impossible when we are fighting
against ourselves. Lincoln said that "A house divided against itself can not
stand." This is what James Madison, "the father of the constitution," meant in
the constitution. We must compromise to solve our disagreements and keep our
country together.
The idea that many men had died for our country and that we should not
forget them was strongly emphasized ...

Duke Ellington
... manners to an understanding of the emotional power of music. Duke's first piano lessons came around the age of seven or eight and appeared to not have that much lasting effect upon him. It seemed as if young Duke was more inclined to baseball at a young age. Duke got his first job selling peanuts at Washington Senator's baseball games. This was the first time Duke was placed as a "performer" for a crowd and had to first get over his stage fright. At the age of fourteen, Duke began sneaking into Frank Holliday's poolroom. His experiences from the poolroom taught him to appreciate the value in mixing with a wide ra ...

Geography And Climate In The American Colonies
... way of life.
The New England climate was one of the largest factors in the high death rate in colonies such as Massachusetts Bay because of its harsh winters and hot summers. The soil in New England was also rocky and somewhat infertile, causing a shortened growing season. Farming was tough and food was scarce. This caused many New Englanders to turn to ship building, become merchants or fishing to make a living. Although geography did greatly affect the lives of those who settled in New England, there was a lot more that made their colonies different from others. For example, the Puritans came for religious freedom, ...

Rahotep And Nefret
... art of Ancient Egypt.
The statues of Rahotep and Nefert are made of limestone, one of the most accessible and popular materials used for sculpture in the Nile Valley, and are 120 cm high. After these statues were carved out of two single blocks of rock, they were covered with a thin layer of plaster and painted. Copper chisels and stone tools were most probably used to carve them. Like most other seated statues, the stone between their arms and their body has not been cut away. This is intentional; it is supposed to convey a sense of power and prevent breakage. The two figures also exhibit frontality, an attr ...

... style of Cubism (duke). In the early 1920’s, his sister was his only female model. At this time he was attending the Madrid Fine Arts school as his father wanted him to gain skill to become a teacher. It was here that he met Luis Burnel and Lorca who would eventually replace his sister as chief model (BBC). In 1925, Dali had his first stand alone exhibit at the Galery of Dalmare (Duke).

Schindler’s List 2
... exactly what is going on in the mind of the character.
The other aspect of the movie that I wanted to discuss is the music that was used. This movie won seven academy awards. Not surprisingly, one of awards was for “ Best Original scene”. The use of music in the scenes was very appropriate. I’m going to discuss several of the scenes of the movie and how music contributed to the scene.
There is a scene in the movie where Oskar Schindler is put in jail because he kissed a Jewish girl, this scene has Schindler in a cell with another person, Schindler says that he is incarcerated because he kissed this Jewish gir ...

Baroque Architecture
... for antiquity led the architects to adhere to the rules of classic architecture as far as they were understood. The baroque style flouted these laws. By mid-century the carefully controlled and subtly refined Classical Baroque trend was clearly established. In France, its pre-eminent position was never seriously challenged. French was more restrained in its expression than its Italian counterpart. The most common and remembered details that made the two styles different were its culture, economy, religion, government, and economics. These can make one style very different from the other, but there were also ...

... to advance his own political goals it was Attorney General
Palmer. The rise of Communism in Russia created a fear of its spread
across Europe, and to America. Palmer tied this fear to that of
immigration. He denounced labor unions, the Socialist party, and the
Communist party in America, as being infultrated with radicals who sought

the country's savior, combatting the evils of Communism. He mainly
