There are many small countries out there, but France is one of the most powerful small countries there are. Even though France is smaller than the state of Texas it still ranks in the world’s top ten power rankings. In order to understand a countries true power you have to know the terrain, and history of the country. You also have to know about their military and defense systems.

There are multiple people who view the stars' meaning differently. In "What the Stars Meant" by John Koethe had a very beautiful, unique way of expressing what the stars meant to him. He wrote what the stars meant to him and had described how there is no right or wrong meaning to the stars. It is to everyone's own perspective. The theme of this poem is to explain what the stars meant to John Koethe. He wanted to get people to view the stars that they may not have viewed them before. Each stanza

In his article, “The Necessary Art of Persuasion”, Jay Conger stated that persuasion is NOT about selling or convincing; rather, it is a learning and negotiating process. Good persuaders use and listen to ongoing and active discussions (or debates) to learn about their audience and include different opinions into a shared conclusion. In the movie “12 Angry Men”, juror number 8 (Henry Fonda) was not sure if evidence presented against a young defendant in court left reasonable doubt for a guilty

Prejudice is something that every one has experienced or seen in other people. In the film The 12 Angry Men, the 12 jurors are ready to send a young man to the execution chair for the murder of his father. 11 of the twelve men vote that the boy is guilty but juror number 8 votes not guilty. This man was able to see passed his prejudices while the other men are seemly blinded by them. “ You can't dwell on what might have been… and it's not fair to condemn him for something he hasn't done.”( Wendelin

The world of music has seen many memorable composers such as Bach, Mozart, Chopin, and Vivaldi, but none of them have a story as amazing as the 18th century classical composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. “His life played out like one of his beautiful symphonies, with unimaginable highs, lows, victories, and defeats,” (Viegas 5). Although he lost his hearing when he was 26 years old, Beethoven was famous for his nine symphonies, and is also recognized as one of the cornerstones of Western civilization

I understood the essence of this quote after watching the film Following the Ninth: In the Footsteps of Beethoven’s Final Symphony. It is a very powerful film that illustrates the impact of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony on individuals from different places in the world. This film is not the type of documentary that I expected. It is one of the best film that I saw. Following the Ninth presents the significance of humanity. The director, Kerry Candaele acknowledged that it was the third movement of

It's been a while sense I last opened this story and I couldn't help but cringe at the horrible quality of almost everything, so here I am several months rewriting this story so it can be the best it can, this time through I will change a few things (names, sequence of events etc.) and describe them in greater detail, and hopefully make less errors. Anyways that is enough of me lets get to the story. Thunderstorms are common here in district 7 occurring several times a month. But this one is

Introduction If you were like me, when someone mentioned classical music or music for the heroic era you knew very little to nothing about the subject. The only thing you knew was that it was music from a long time ago and that Beethoven was the only artist you could name. So, let me enlighten you on what classical music is and the era it comes from. The term classical is something that has a wide and long-lasting appeal. In music, when a piece was written from between about 1750 to 1825 it was

Just as the town clock strikes two, the mayor steps up to the podium and begins to read. It’s the same story every year. He tells of the history of Panem, the country that rose up out of the ashes of a place that was once called North America. He lists the disasters, the droughts, the storms, the fires, the encroaching seas that swallowed up so much of the land, the brutal war for what little sustenance remained. The result was Panem, a shining Capitol ringed by thirteen districts, which 19 brought
