The Era of Good Feeling, described in the Miller Center website, is a period that was “marked by economic prosperity, the disintegration of the Federalist Party, and feelings of triumph after the victory in the War of 1812.” It is also connected to President James Monroe’s time in office from 1817 to 1825. The road to becoming president was a particularly easy one for him. The dominance of the Democratic-Republican party was at an all-time high while the Federalist party failed to provide a strong opposition. This lack of competition along with his popularity ultimately granted Monroe an easy win in the 1816 election and continued through his reelection in 1820 where he ran unopposed. However, what once helped him in attaining one of the most important jobs in the country actually ended up being a double-edge sword. His ideals on amalgamation and eliminating the party system brought forth one of the strongest Cabinets in history and lead him to long lasting successes in foreign affairs. On the other hand, the same ideal led to some domestic issues and caused disunity within the nation.

Time is of the essence, yet time is always passing. Time can be taken or given, saved or spent, but is not always the same for “time only existed when a measurement was being made” (19). Stephen Kern’s The Nature of Time introduces ideas and concepts of how time is seen, represented, and spent. Two key ways of looking at time are through the perspective of Public Time, and Private Time. Public Time, is the universally understood time; the time that we experience collectively and are kept to by a clock or calendar. The calendar “expresses the rhythm of the collective activities, while at the same time its function is to assure their regularity” into what we know as the collective Public Time (20). In order to understand Public Time, however, it first had to become universal. “While the year, month, and day have a basis in nature, the week and the hour are entirely artificial;” therefore, for Public Time to become understood by all, the artificial constructs of time had to become universally joined (14). Although the world was slow to accept a universal time, which would be altered by one hour between twenty-four zones, it soon became accepted and understood. The simple measurement of time introduces issues within time itself, however. Time does not stop and is not divided into bits as it is represented by its measurement. The idea of any measurement which does not continuously flow, contradicts the very concept of Private Time.

The mood of the poem begins as triumphant and eager to achieve goals, yet, the middle of the poem, is turns to defeat and loss of hope. Finally, back at the end, the mood transforms once more to triumphant and motivated. First of all, the text states, “In search of Eldorado” (Poe 6). This goes into detail describing how the theme of the poem is journeying and seeking for what you desire because the knight is in search of Eldorado, or in search or the ultimate prize he is spending his life seeking. This also can show how the mood of the poem is triumphant and eager to achieve goals because the knight has an attitude that he is going to find Eldorado

What is the ultimate form of a tragic love? For Wong, it is neither denial nor acceptance, but an eternal state of longing and waiting. Among Wong Kar Wei’s internationally acclaimed productions, Days of Being Wilde (1990), In the Mood for Love (2000), and 2046 (2004) are loosely counted as a trilogy of love. In the end chapter of his trilogy 2046, Wong continues to focus on Chou-Mu-Yun, a sentimental yet callous writer and womanizer. Revolving around the affairs of Chou, 2046 presents to its audience three pathways that love could possibly offer: to unite in happiness, to move on after the denial from the loved one, and to linger upon the unanswered love in perpetuity. Chou is undoubtedly chosen to be the bearer of the last pathway. As the

As a viewer of the short film, “In a Heartbeat”, I experienced through a generation of a never-ending swirl of feelings that at times left my heart completely shattered, while at others, sent my heart soaring in contentment for characters I have bonded with over the duration of merely 4 minutes. I was able to understand and appreciate the thoughtfulness of these accumulated feelings that encloses the matter of universal love. Without the use of words means that anyone from any country would be able to understand this, demonstrating universality. It was remarkably impressive how producers were able to convey a bittersweet and touching tale that potentially could surpass the acceptance standard of civilians; and to creating such a controversial

It is paradoxical to have a course, which revolves round the corrosiveness of faulted Western notions of time and its depiction through abstraction, identify itself with an abstract title but argue for the concreteness and tangibility of the portrayal of time and space. A Place Beyond Time does just that. Containing a vastly abstract title, A Place Beyond Time may at first glance appear to properly relate time as a tangent notion with space. Upon further contemplation, however, it becomes patent that A Place Beyond Time possesses a conspicuous absence present in its philosophy of aloofness from intangibility. And although the name of the course attempts to tackle and manifest the complications of abstract and concrete time, it is through its lack of definition and precision, lack of possession, and lack of sensation of repetition that A Place Beyond Time fails to properly capitalize on this dilemma.

Wong Kar-Wai’s visually stunning In the Mood for Love, is a 2000 film set in Hong Kong 1962. The two protagonists, Chow Mo-Wan, and Su Li-Zhen (Ms. Chan), become neighbors where they learn about the infidelity of their partners. Through their mutual betrayal, they begin to develop an intimate bond, but fear expressing it to avoid devaluation of their character. Wong is able to exhibit the love and perversity that circulate throughout the film with minimal physical affection and dialogue. Particular images play a strong role in broadening the viewer 's understanding of the film, because although Chow and Su remain moderately reserved, their relationship and emotions are palpable through the film 's aesthetic elements. The plot consists of

One plus one by Beyoncé was just a regular song which I loved because of the message in the song about never giving up on your lover no matter the circumstances, always sharing an everlasting love and being content with whatever we have. Until I really paid a close attention to it, and more complex meaning started flowing through my brain therefore making visible, all the hidden meanings in the song. This song might just be a common love song to most people because they might not have taken the pain to pay close attention to what the lyrics might really mean. The song literally talks about staying with your lover no matter the circumstances and love is the most important thing in the world. However, I see that, the song is talking more about how humans will not have everything they always want to have but need to learn to appreciate, cherish, and be satisfied with every little thing they have. After I played the song many times, pausing to read the lyrics, thinking about it and finding connections with the song made me find marvelous meanings to the song and it fascinated me so much that I had not found meaning with this song way before because it’s something I play regularly.
