She uses several themes relative to Modernism, including the idea of collectivism versus individualism and alienation, but particularly decadence.

Throughout our reading of the provided passage of “The Gilded Six-Bits,” my attention was drawn towards the gilded half dollar. I believe the gold piece is a prominent symbol in the story due to its multiple appearances in the passage and its relevance in the plot of the story. The golden coin was used by Slemmons, a wealthy resident of Eatonville, to pay Missie May to commit devious, extramarital actions."Oh Joe, honey, he said he wuz gointer give me dat gold money and he jes' kept on after me."

As a result of the diversity found in America, I have been able to experience a little bit of the Vietnamese culture through my friend, Kim. Kim has been a great source of insight regarding the leadership utilized within the Vietnamese culture. Kim’s family is from Vietnam and moved here in the early 1980’s. Kim and her older siblings were

Pythagoras of Samos is a bit of a mysterious figure. There are many different accounts of his early and midlife, some of which contradict each other. One thing that is common among all the records is his mathematical achievements. When it comes to math, he played an extremely large part in the development of mathematics. Pythagoras was born in 570 BC in Samos. Most of the information that can be found today about Pythagoras was written a few centuries after he died in 495 BC. His mother was a native
