Crane’s novel is about a young boy named Henry, who fights in the Civil War. He goes through many internal conflicts from deciding to run or deciding to stay and fight the enemy. Knowles’ novel is about two teenagers, Gene and Finny, who attend school during WWII. They push each other to do different things and influence each other

Most of the loyalists found their properties vandalized, looted and burned by angry mobs of men. There was no doubt that the patriots of the thirteen colonies controlled the public discourse. There was bound to be a revolt against the British by the patriots because they didn’t agree against the policies imposed by the British parliament.

The conclusion of the War of 1812 made two major positive impacts on America. The first was that it brought true independence for American’s.

Blog 3 “THE CONGRESS” Leading up to the period of “the Debaters” (as they are called in the film Congress) the Capital had been completely rebuilt under the supervision of Benjamin Latrobe and Charles Bulfinch. The Capital had new more expansive chambers for each house which were joined by a copper sheathed wooden dome. The period between 1820 and 1860 in congress is characterized by debate and compromise. The spirit of the times is characterized as that of growth and improvement. Gold was found in California, Texas joined the union, we went from having 209 to 21,551 post offices across the country, and our country now spanned all the way to the pacific. As if a testament to this spirit of growth the painter and inventor Samuel F.B. Morse painted the congress in its new quarters to subsidize his new telegraph system. But of course the changes to our Capital are the changes that are least

Paintings are different than books or movies because they allow you to create your own thoughts and interpretations rather than telling you what you should think. This allows creative and different takes on an original piece of art.The Surrender, a painting by Joseph Griffith, was published in October of 2006. It features two sides in what appears to be a war.

Artistic Revolutionaries: David & Delacroix Many attribute the evolution of the French revolution as the catalyst for redirection of the style of artwork from Baroque and Rococo to Neoclassical and Romanticism. Two leading masterpieces that support this aspect are respectively: Jacques-Louis David, Oath of the Horatii, (c. 1784) and Eugène Delacroix, Liberty Leading the People, (c. 1830). As commented in Essential Humanities (2016), the French revolution “in all its heroic glory and grisly destruction” (par. 10) is masterfully portrayed in Delacroix 's personification of liberty. In addition, the summons for commitment to the cause of freedom is classically rendered in David 's vow of victory or death. Within this essay both of these paintings are examined in regards to their connection to the French revolution.
