... by so many African artists could provide him with the starting point for his own re-appraisal of his subjects”(Cubism 53). “The naked women become inextricably bound up in a flux of shapes or planes which tip backwards and forwards from the two-dimensional surface to produce much the same sensation as an elaborate sculpture…”(Cubism 54). Futurism was an art movement, which was influenced by cubist art. Cubism showed no motion it was futurism that was fascinated with machinery, transport and communications. In paintings and sculpture, angular forms and powerful lines were used to convey a sense of activity, this was a Futurist’s way of showing motion and sp ...
... my heart, when all at once I heard the sing-song voice of a child in a nearby house. Whether it was the voice of a boy or a girl I cannot say, but again and again it repeated the refrain "Take it and read, take it and read".'" (Brown 108) Augustine could not remember these words being part of a game and took them as a command to open his Scripture and read the first thing he saw, just as Anthony had. Paul's Epistles was the first thing he saw. "Not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lust and wantonness, not in quarrels and rivalries. Rather, arm yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, spend no more thought on nature and nature's appetites" was the first passage he r ...
... own senate on March 15 44 BC; also known as the Ides of March. As he was walking in to the senate house, a man told him to beware the Ides of March. He ignored this statement and walked into the senate house. At this time some of the Senate members surrounded Caesar in a stealthy manner and tugged on his toga. As he looked around he was stabbed by many of the senate members multiple times. He collapsed to the ground and lay on the marble floor dead, next to the feet of Pompey’s statue. (Nardo 94) Caesar’s military eminence helped Rome prosper into one of the greatest and most memorable civilizations in history. His campaigns helped Rome grow larger in size a ...
... a little overboard in his descriptions, but this gives the 2 readers an opportunity to distance themselves from the material and better analyze the point that Boccaccio wanted to get across. He wanted to provide a forum into the study of culture during his time. As a society, we have learned to deem different types of behavior either acceptable or unacceptable. However, there is a danger in rejecting some types of conduct as not appropriate merely because the practice would be morally reprehensible in our society today. Boccaccio would have wanted us to reflect on values present in other cultures, not to judge them, but to apply principles that we drew ...

Go tell the world, What Prays can do beyond all Devils and Witches, and What it is that these Monsters love to do; and through the Demons in the Audience of several standers-by threatned much disgrace to thy Author, if he let thee come abroad, yet venture That, and in this way seek a just Revenge on Them for the Disturbance they have given to such as have called on the Name of God.

... that dumbfounded the Indians, some of those thing being a callous behavior towards the land, diseases and religious zeal. Even though both cultures could have probably coexisted quite peacefully the Europeans felt that they were superior to the Indians and set out to dominate and suppress the Indian population. Many Europeans were drawn to the New World because it held promise, something that their homeland lacked. They wanted to create a world that was similar to the one left behind, proof of this is evident in the names that were given to places such as New France, New England, New York, New Sweden, New Spain, Lancaster, Durham and Cumberland. Unfortunately in the ...
... for today's society. In the 21st century, we may not have many more role models to look after everyone. In order to keep order between people we have to have someone to look at and remind us that anything is possible and nothing can stop someone with a worthy cause and a commendable heart. Role models are the only way that people will believe that there is always a dream. And that if you try hard enough that dream could come true. African Americans were discriminated and were scapegoats just because of the color of their skin. This factor in the situation can change a lot that can happen in the future. In the 21st century racism could very easily be a threa ...
... Abigail Williams, “began to fall into horrid fits” (“Witch”). The village doctor William Griggs gave his opinion that the girls were the “victims of witchcraft” (“Witch”). There has been discussion as to whether these fits were true in nature, or if the girls were acting. There has also been some discussion as to the possibility that the girls were caught in behavior that they knew they would be punished for, and they chose to make up their ‘illness’ so as not to be punished. When the girls were pressed as to an explanation for their actions, “they identified their tormentors as two…women -- Sarah Osborne, Sarah Goode. They also pointed to ...
... teach-ins were mass public demonstrations, usually held in the spring and fall seasons. By 1968, protesters numbered almost seven million with more than half being white youths in the college. The teach- in movement was at first, a gentle approach to the antiwar activity. Although, it faded when the college students went home during the summer of 1965, other types of protest that grew through 1971 soon replaced it. All of these movements captured the attention of the White House, especially when 25,000 people marched on Washington Avenue. And at times these movements attracted the interest of all the big decision-makers and their advisors (Gettleman, 54). ...
... have to be willing to do any thing the boss wanted. I believe my friends and I would most likely resent and despise it if we had to live in the 1900's. During the 1900's horses played a significant role in the everyday life. A horse drawn carriage would bring a docter to the house of where a baby would be born. A hearse was pulled by horses to the cemetery when somebody died. Farmers used them to pull their ploughs while town dwellers kept them for transportation around town. Horses puled delivery wagons for businesses such as bakery, dairy, and coal company. Horses pulled fire engines through the streets in a fire emergency. ...
