Eric Parrren Analysis

An individual can’t be influenced by their own selves but also the people that are surrounding him/her. It is due to the pressure that others put on the individual which impacts against him/her greatly as they are forced to accept it and go with it. Going with something that is not completely accepted by the individuals will ultimately cause them to feel rejection. A poet, Peter Skrzynecki, speaks of his personal experience which is strongly connected to belonging. An example is St Patrick’s college where he went to a school and felt like he didn’t learn anything from there even though he spent quite a long time there. Feliks Skrzynecki, another poem written by Peter, its where the persona talks about his father who is not Australian living

It was April 18th 1775 and John William Adams climbed out of bed and walked across the room. He was dressed in a long white linen shirt that flowed down to his knees. The sleeves were a bit tattered and dirty, but it was the only shirt he owned. He walked over to the wash basin and started his morning ritual of shaving. It was expected that all members of the American militia be clean shaven. He splashed some cold water on his face from the wash basin and reached for his Perret razor which had an l-shaped wooden handle and long straight blade. After shaving he reached for his wool stockings and slipped them on. John Williams mother Constance had made the stockings from lamb’s wool the summer before. He pulled his tan breeches on and fastened his wool coat as he set

It is official; Richard "Bruno" Hauptmann has now been executed by an electric chair. The man hated all around the world is now gone for a crime that has been dubbed "crime of the century". I am just an average citizen of the USA and like many others, I was very curious and passionate about this case. On the night of March 1, 1932, Richard Hauptmann became infamous for the brutal kidnapping and killing of Charles Lindberg's 20-month-old son Charles Lindbergh Jr. How could he have done something so evil to the most loved family in America?

Welterweight champion Benny Paret was renowned for his ability to receive a hit, and had taken years of punishment in order to obtain his championship. Yet he proved, he was the greatest every time he stepped in the ring. However, all good things will come to an end. In the past two years, the fifteen round fights began to destroy his body. Eventually, it all would result in a tragic end. As the story draws to a close, the genre and the theme unfold. It becomes clear the author is emotionally invested, which allows for an in depth and personal view of the story. In the end, we are able to relate more than one would simply assume, and the lesson we learn is we are not the gods we all attempt to be.

The juxtaposition Eric Foner creates between Stephen A. Douglas’s, popular sovereignty and Lincoln’s absolutist ideology, demonstrations that the issue of slavery will ultimately transform the political atmosphere for years to come. According to Foner, both Lincoln and Douglas disagree on the account of the intentions of the founding fathers right to “local self-government”.

Before entering the exhibition the viewer is introduced to an energetic video montage of all the works with a sound created by Kevin J. Simon. This fast pace hip-hop sounding song at first seems very out of place from the work, but after listening to it for some time you do hear

J. David Velleman had an idea that many may believe as truth, however, when looking at the entire picture it is

Bruce Anderson believes that having an “indian” name for a football or sports team gives it meaning, for him “being a Redskin embodied the image of Native Americans as tough, brave and persevering.” Anderson state's, “Sportswriters would write that we “scalped” or “tomahawked” an opponent, after we “powwowed” on the field and “beat our war drums.” It was a positive but wrong depiction of my life” (Anderson). Basicly, Anderson is saying that these writers are using terms that insults the culture of Native Americans. I agree that it insults the culture of Native Americans, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people think that it's ok to do this to the Native Americans because it won't affect how they are seen in public.

Human dignity was the founding principle of the America. William Brennan was a staunch supporter of the Constitution as a vehicle to promote human dignity for all. For Brennan, applying the notion of “the intent of the Founder’s” to modern issues was preposterous. Brennan asserted that it was the duty of the Supreme Court to promote each individual’s human dignity. The role of the Supreme Court was to interpret current situations in light of the advancement of human dignity for all. Brennan went so far as to discuss the death penalty as a violation of human dignity that should be addressed by the Court. Brennan viewed the Constitution as a “living constitution” that needed to be viewed in terms of modern times. It would be impossible

After reading the articles in this week, they are touched me so much because they explain the really fact in college now. I understand that passing classes or even getting great grades is a way for students becoming successful. However, there are many different meanings of success for students at college.

He does not create scores with orthodox musical methods and his music can be unpleasant or even irritating to some; yet by using a technological process, he reveals a naturally occurring acoustic phenomena and demonstrates it an unforgettable physical form. In the simplest way one could imagine (play-record-play-re-record-repeat), Lucier successfully guides the audience to pay attention to listening itself, to sound itself, to the space that we stand in, to the effect that the surrounding environment may have upon us. Other composers may deliver emotions or opinions through their works, but Lucier manages to erase all these subjective judgements, triggers a self-reflecting thinking process and initiate a borderless experience that all audience shared

The statue of Lycaon and his sons, Antiphas and Thymbraeu, was excavated in Rome in the year of 1506, and now stands on public display in the Vatican. A statue made of marble, it is thought to have been restored several times throughout history. The scene itself depicts Lycaon, and his two sons Antiphas and Thymbraeu, being attacked by rather large serpents from the sea. The statue itself is meant to be representative of human agony. The suffering is clearly depicted through the faces of the statue; furrowed eyebrows, twisted and contorted mouths, facial features portraying raw fear, and the bodies of the statue straining and struggling

There is an increasing mutual exchange as the synthetic and the human-made equally invades what we once thought of as natural. In electronic music, the human element that people input in their work is crucial to say the least. People provide the unpredictable pieces in their work to make it stand out from the rest. Most robotic or technologic generated music often is in the form of a pattern. Without human interface, electronic music, for the most part, is predictable. When electronic music is played without the human element, a sense of something that is missing usually occurs. Today, technological advances allow electronics to replace most of the human interactions. Now technology can mimic the sounds of non-electronic instruments. Instruments such as the flute, violin, and guitar are just some of these mimicked sounds that could be replaced. In this “genre” the human body is often held as a relatable tool. The audience notices the human element and realizes that they can create such works as well. Electronic music to some may feel that it is missing the human component in the normalized concept of seeing the artist. However, when developing the art itself, electronic music, whether it be in live performances, editing the material, or commercializing the music for use, the human element is still very prominent. The human component is implicated in music directly or indirectly.
