... ask why, never stand for just one explanation. Always questioning people but never writing down what he learned. All the information that we have learned from him have been from other people talking about him, for he never wrote anything down himself. After learning that some of the church’s beliefs were all wrong, he started to tell people this and they looked at him in a whole new manor. He went from seeming very dignified to just another poor commoner on the street. Once more and more people learned about him, they began to stay away from him, forbidding their kids to listen to a word that he said, for he was contridicting everything that Athens has sto ...

... answers to roman society, which robs him of being truly a unique and bold political philosopher. This is not to say however some of his doctrines are untrue, just that he is somewhat blinded by his roman beliefs and assumptions. The assumptions of Cicero can be noticed when one inspects his view of the ideal governing body, which he expresses through Scipio (in the commonwealth). Although Cicero presents very convincing arguments for a Composite government, clearly his view is possibly only due towards his belief in the roman structure of government.1 Cicero was limited to roman borders of experience, and this point was best illustrated by his disagreem ...

... his point. Hunter's lyrical themes can be divided into three main categories. First are themes used in a traditional vein, written about classical ideas and told in a folkloric fashion. Second are themes employed in a contemporary tone, about modern concepts and written in a more current style. Last are themes that are either used frequently in both contemporary and traditional ways, or transcend the division of contemporary/traditional and form their own categories. One of the main traditional themes that Hunter uses is the gambling theme. The poems "Candyman" and "Loser" exemplify this motif the best: Come on boys and gamble Roll those laughing b ...

... environment. For a woman of this time, this much education was very rare.1 Emily Dickinson was a very mysterious person as she got older she became more and more reclusive too the point that by her thirties, she would not leave her house and would withdraw from visitors. Emily was known to give fruit and treats to children by lowering them out her window in a basket with a rope to avoid actually seeing them face to face. She developed a reputation as a myth, because she was almost never seen and when people did catch a glimpse of her she was always wearing white. Emily Dickinson never got married but is thought to have had a relationship with Revere ...

... working on the family farm. He had less than a year of school but managed to educate himself by studying and reading books on his own. He believed that slavery and democracy were fundamentally incompatible. In an 1858 speech, he said: What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independance? It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coats, our army and our navy . . . Our defense is in the spirit which prized liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors. Familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to we ...

... his work. In composition he excelled in an astonishing number of forms – blues, ballads, spirituals, rhapsodies, elegies, suites, and free-form and cross-cultural works. The closest contemporary analogy to Coltrane's relentless search for possibilities was the Beatles' redefinition of rock from one album to the next. Yet the distance they traveled from conventional hard rock through sitars and Baroque obligatos to Sergeant Pepper psychedelia and the musical shards of Abbey Road seems short by comparison with Coltrane's journey from hard-bop saxist to daring harmonic and modal improviser to dying prophet speaking in tongues. Asked by a Swedish disc jockey in ...

... in England. She was found by Nigel Davies in a salon, while working as a shampoo girl. He saw her potential and immediately took her to get a haircut at a Mr. Leonard’s trendy salon in London. Mr. Leonard put her picture in his shop window, and a short time later that picture was featured in the London Daily Express with a caption that read “This is the face of 1966” (Wilson). Davies, who preferred to be called Justin De Villeneuve, was quite an interesting character with his past resume containing ex-model, ex-antique dealer, and ex-hairdresser. After he discovered her, he (age 25) became ’s (age 15) agent and boyfriend. He took her to Paris and a short while af ...

... on Lee’s novel was the Scottsboro case that took place in Alabama when Lee was only five years old. The Scottsboro case was the case against nine black men raping two white women. Even though evidence proved that the young black men never raped the two white women, the jury found them all guilty. This case left a lasting impression on Lee. She used this case as a rough basis for some events that took place in To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee first attended college at Huntington College in Montgomery, Alabama from 1944-45. In 1945 Lee decided to pursue her law degree at the University of Alabama. She stayed at the University of Alabama until 1949. She also studied ...

... logical sequence. I realized that for each thesis, there is an antithesis and the meeting of the two produces a completely new idea, a synthesis. So what was your theory and what was human history according to you? Human history, according to me, was the history of class conflict between competing economic groups in which one exploits the other. The result of that was capitalism, which only led to destruction. The increasing number of workers (thesis) were being exploited by the owners of the means of production (antithesis) who were only allowing the wealth to concentrate amongst few through competition. To increase their own profits, the wages were as low as p ...

... were poetic pioneers because of the new ideas they used in their poetry. Emily Dickinson did not write for an audience, but Walt Whitman wrote for an audience about several national events. The forms each poet used are different as well. The rhyme in the poetry by Whitman is drastically different from the poetry written by Dickinson, because Whitman didn't use any rhyme. Emily Dickinson grew up in Amherst, Mass, and Walt Whitman grew up in New York City, New York; this is one way that these poets' lives differ. The main people that influenced Emily Dickinson were Ralph Waldo Emerson and Emily Bronte. Walt Whitman was influenced by many people ...
