Gracyk dissects and responds to Roger Scruton’s philosophy of music that states, “Taste in music matters, and that a search for objective musical values is one part of our search for the right way to live” (138). Scruton believes that music exists in an intentional realm, meaning a person does not need to completely understand music in order to understand its message. People are able to grasp the intentional realm because people are part of a community based on tradition (139). Participation in this advanced culture shapes who people are and what type of music they want to hear. Being able to understand a language allows a person to make inferences and interpret its different meanings.

I believe I have helped out the community of Sartell in many ways. I have had a lot of opportunities to make a difference, and I am happy to help whenever needed. I have helped at many sites and with a large range of age groups. I have enjoyed all of my experiences.

becomes higher than $200,000, any profit beyond this amount would be taxed at 40%. So, if the alternative #5 makes the PBT higher than $200,000, we have to consider another tax saving = $200,000 (40%-28%).

Nelson is perched on the shores of Kootenay Lake and offers a wide-range of world class recreational activities. The stunning geography and outdoor activities, however, are only part of Nelson’s overall charm. The community still holds true to its silver mining roots as is evident with its impressive selection of over 350 restored heritage buildings and many of these unique buildings make up the bustling downtown core of the city.

The first room of the museum pulled in the audience with artwork from the 20th century. Although it may seem like artwork put together at the last minute, if you look closer, you will see something entirely different. Each piece had so much detail and unique qualities, such as style and art form, that you haven't see in many other museums before. It is important to appreciate the erratic design and character of each piece of art, but after seeing the entire museum, it is easy see the monumental difference between art now, and the art of our past. Art of the past showed a lot more

On September 1, the Senate Bill 4 (SB4), signed by Governor Abbott, went into full effect. This Senate Bill, to sum things up, the ban of sanctuary cities in Texas. A sanctuary city can vary its definition from place to place, but generally, it is a city that limit their cooperation with immigration enforcement. However, with the SB4, now it lets a police officer ask about a person’s immigration status while they/re being detained instead of when they’re arrested. Many arguments have occurred during the past months about these sanctuary cities and whether it is right to keep, or to ban. I believe that Governor Abbott had every right to sign that bill. The SB4 bill was very necessary.

Three weeks ago I visited the Art Institute of Chicago. It was established in 1879 and has since expanded its collection to approximately three hundred thousand works. Attracting over one and a half million visitors annually, it is one of the largest art museums in the United States. The reason I chose this site is that I read that it displayed Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, and I wanted to see it in person because it is so iconic.

In their life, at one point or another, people deny to themselves and others what they really feel and what really happened. Some people go on living their entire lives denying their true emotions. In Toni Morrison’s novel Sula, characters constantly denied their feelings and their actions. Sula Peace, her best friend Nel Wright, and Nel’s mother do not listen to their feelings and hide from their true emotions.

I hope to see museums make more concerted efforts to educate the public. Too many exhibits are of the “passive, didactic looking” than like the engaging Object Stories program (Dartt, Murawski). Exhibits should seek to tell untold narratives, and programs should be places of communication and cross-cultural encounters. For too long, difficult confrontations have been avoided, both inside the museum, and by dominant communities

Piece displayed at museums, sold on streets, etc. are art. Society controls what is art. Offensive, destructive, or vandalized pieces are often not referred to as art. Art is often associated with an object that was created by a person. Pieces can be displayed in many places to convey a message. Pieces displayed in museums are seen as good, famous, and valuable. These pieces are displayed because they often do not create conflict between people.

Much like Seral Gilmer, my parents made their living in the textile industry until the closure of my father’s plant in 2007. Despite being laid off, my father continued to make my education a priority and started his own business to support my family. He has instilled in me the importance of not only education, but also of integrity and perseverance. I too plan to open a business someday and give back to the community that made me who I am. With the Seral Gilmer scholarship I hope to further my education so I can achieve just that. Thank you.

From this part of Graede’s account, all these people were very award of their circumstances, and yet, they kept it together until the very end of their lives. Families clustered together till, quietly and complacently, until they met the end with a bullet. They knew it was too late for them to do anything about their situation, but in truth, they had not been able to do anything about their situation of constant persecution from the Nazi government for years. Graebe continues his recounting of the mass shooting,

During Parent’s Weekend at Marquette, my family and I went to the Haggerty Art Museum. While I pleaded with my family to not go, as I am not a huge art fan, my Mom’s opinion overruled mine. From the outside, Haggerty looked like it would be small, but in reality, was quite large. When walking in, I immediately assumed that the art would not make any sense to me like at most art museums. However, I was quickly proven wrong as a lot of the art we saw was what I would consider impressive. They were not the drawings of a line or pieces that look like a child made them that you see at most museums, but what I call “real art”.

Art Spiegelman’s Maus, is a unique way of looking at history. Through the use of comics, Spiegelman allows the reader to draw their own conclusions within the parameters of the panes of the comic. Unlike reading a textbook in which the author describes every detail about the subject matter, comics allow for the reader to draw their own conclusions from the information given to them. Also by reading a serious comic such as Maus, we are able to break away from

Art gallery and art museum are two different types of structure. The major difference between them is that the purpose of the art gallery is to go to discover the artist’s work and with an interest in buying their art. So it's basically a small business to promote and sell art.
