The name of the man I am writing about today is Charles Portis.

In the world of Jazz there are known to be only two time periods in jazz: before Charlie Parker and after Charlie Parker. Charlie Parker has become an American icon and extremely important to the world of jazz. He had many successes throughout his life, but I want to find; how did Charlie Parker’s fast pace improvisation solo style effect the creation of bebop? Carlie Parker’s complex harmony and rhythms he integrated into his improvisation solo style laid the groundwork for the creation of a new jazz style known today as bebop.

Potosi was once a quiet mining community whose inhabitants were pre-Columbian Amerindians comprised of the Incas, Charcas, Chulipas natives and other smaller groups of Quechua and Aymara natives who were all artisans who worked with pottery and silver from the mines. The Quechua developed the labor system of the “Mita,” where they enslaved other people to work the mines. The Quechua became very wealthy from their exploits (Gonzalez, n.d. p. 2). After the arrival of the Spanish, the Spaniards, would continue the labor system of “Mita,” by enslaving the Amerindians and importing African slaves to work in the mines as human mules (Adler & Pouwels, 2018). The mines, had already become famous for their riches well before the Spanish had arrived. This fame was due to the stream of ingots and coins of silver from the mines that had spread across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans making a big impact on the economies of Asia, Europe and South America (Adler & Pouwels, 2018).

In the second chapter of this dissertation it will focus on the work of Manchester born and black artist Chris Ofili. Most known for his experimentation with elephant dung, Ofili communicates a humorous and rather stereotypical reaction to how an African man ‘should’ be painting, “You don’t exist, unless you start to build yourself up, and start to work” (Ofili 2010). There was much comment about Ofili becoming the first black contemporary artist whose name and work was known to a wider British public.

Nicholas Sparks was born on December 31, 1965, in Omaha, Nebraska (Jessica Estremera). He was the second of three children born to Patrick Sparks, a college professor, and his wife Jill. Nicholas spent the early part of his childhood moving around with his family as his father finished up his graduate work (Biography Channel website). "Because my father was a student until I was 9 years old and my mother didn't work, we weren't exactly living the high life when I was little. I grew up on powdered milk and ate tons of potatoes, though to be honest, I never noticed how poor we really were until I was old enough to take an honest appraisal of things. Even then, it didn't matter. For the most part, I had a wonderful childhood
