John Williams is probably one of the most well known composers in history. If there’s any doubt in anyone’s mind, just think back to some of the most iconic movies of the past (like Jaws, Star Wars, E.T., Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, and even Memoirs of a Geisha) and the most striking feature about all of these movies is their amazing soundtracks. They compel and spellbind us; tying magical stories together with even more poignant melodies to captivate the mind’s imagery.

William Carlos Williams’ passion and dedication of medicine can be seen through his literary contributions of short stories and poems. The Doctor Stories use interior monologue in a stream-of-consciousness as a tool to reflect each narrator’s experience and gives insight into the character and his appraisal of each of the situations encountered. It is through this stream-of-consciousness that we come to realize the observational nature of this doctor’s actions and thoughts.

John Towner Williams was born in New York City on February 8, 1932. He acquired his love of music from his father who was a musician in the city. His passion for music took a three year hiatus when Williams was drafted in the U.S. Airforce in 1951, after which he returned to New York City to work as a jazz pianist while attending the Julliard School of Music. It was during his studies in Julliard where Williams decided to become a composer, humorously because he thought the competition for concert pianists was too high. After graduating from Julliard he moved to Los Angeles in the 1950s and began working as a movie studio musician. He worked as a pianist for a few years before given the opportunity to start composing his own music: Gilligan’s Island and Lost in Space were some he had a part in composing. This was also around the same time that he started working with the big screen movies as well. He received an Academy Award nomination for Valley of the Dolls (1967), then went on to win an Academy Award for his music in Fiddler on the Roof (1972). This was when things got interesting for Williams, the meeting and future collaboration with directors Steven Spielberg and George

Terry Tempest Williams and Wangari Maathai are both very powerful women who devoted their lives to improving the world one step at a time. Williams, the author of Refuge, is a naturalist, a feminist, and a writer who brings such power into everything she touches. Her passion for change has brought so much goodness into the world. She has beat many obstacles, including her own struggle with herself, which to her is the same fight we have with nature, and finally accepting the outcome; whatever that may be unnatural, or natural, is the secret to life. While we read about what Terry Tempest Williams writes about her mother’s difficulties while struggling with cancer, we also have Wangari Maathai speaking about all the violence she faces in Kenya.

Mr. Williams was born in 1971 in Beckley, West Virginia. His mother’s parent lived in Beckley. His family was there because his father was in Vietnam.

" Fuck you too." I groan, my blond hair falling slightly on my shoulder as I look at my clock. 7:00 AM. With only 30 minutes to get dressed, onto the bus, and to my Living Hell, better known as school, and I sigh and get up. As I start to pull out clothes to wear I decide that I'll wear some jeans and my black hoodie with my white FairyTail shirt under it.

I knew I was going to fell in love with this book the moment I laid my eyes on the first page.

The poem “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” by William Carlos Williams, closely depict the painting while representing the theme of the story, because both the poem and the painting describe how characters ignore the fall and splash of Icarus. Instead, they continue with their activities undisturbed and concerned about their own lives. The painting and the poem display a complete ambivalence to the tragedy that occurred.

Artists design works of art for a variety of reasons; some desire to communicate a message and some want to pay a homage to those important to them. Charles Demuth’s ‘I saw the Figure 5 in Gold’ proves any inspiration can be turned into a beautiful composition.

I grew up watching his movies, TV shows and comedy acts. Williams work I remember most fondly are; Mork and Mindy, Hook, What Dreams May Come, Mrs.. Doubtfire, Aladdin, and Jumajii. I can identify childhood memories to Williams' work.

A status type allocated to an individual due to inheritance is referred to as ascribed status. Ascribed status is more frequently dictated by the society, and therefore, it communicates the status of an individual because of customs, traditions, as well as what a given society would have been pre-decided upon prior to birth. In every traditional society, ascribed status inhabits respect, and it is unbending, rigid and relatively naturally hard to change.

Tennessee Williams was known as one of the greatest and most controversial playwrights in American history. He once said “I believe that writing or any form of creative work was never meant by nature to be a man’s way of making a living, that when it becomes one it almost certainly loses a measure of purity” (Lewis 54). This statement shows that Williams was a genuine writer who used his plays and poems to express his own thoughts. Williams was known for his Southern Gothic writing style. This is “a style of writing practiced by many writers of the American South whose stories set in that region are characterized by grotesque, macabre, or fantastic incidents” (“Southern gothic”). Some critics believe that Williams had sacrificed his
