The Bauhaus was set up in 1919 in Weimar by Walter Gropius (1883–1969). In 1925, the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau, where a new building is designed by Gropius. In this essay, I am going to discuss about the opinions made by many writers on Gropius’s mindset and intention in building the new Bauhaus. The architectural aspects and interior space planning of the Bauhaus have become the identifications of the modernist architecture as well as legend in the history of design and design education

colony of Roanoke after a supply trip to England, only to find nothing and no one. In this essay, I will explain the beginnings of the Lost Colony, Roanoke, the mysterious disappearance, and the theories on what happened to Roanoke. To begin, Sir Walter Raleigh had sent expeditioners to scout for land to create new settlements in 1584. With constant tension between England and Spain, England had to prove their power by colonizing new land. Two men, Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe, were sent out

Even Without Capes Ivanhoe was written by Sir Walter Scott in 1819. Set in England, between the towns of Sheffield and Doncaster, Ivanhoe occurred during the end of the Third Crusade. At this time, England was under the temporary rule of Prince John. Prince John sided with Philip of France to ensure that his brother, King Richard, was kept in captivity by the Duke of Austria. He feared Richard and was horrified by the prospect of his brother’s return, as he wanted England under his own rule. In

British Women Writers during the Romantic period “Like the minority writer, the female writer exists within an inescapable condition of identity which distances her from the mainstream of the culture and forces her either to stress her separation from the masculine literary tradition or to pursue her resemblance to it.” (Lynn Sukenick, Miller: 1985, 356.) Women’s roles in society today has changed radically since the Romantic period. Women during the Romantic Period were looked down upon economically

very separate distinct societies due to the differences in colonization, settlers, and economic activities in each region. The difference in colonization led to distinct societies between New England and the Chesapeake regions. In 1607, after Sir Walter Raleigh's colony of Roanoke was unsuccessful, Jamestown was successfully colonized and was due to an economic purpose. As stated by John Smith, “Dig gold, wash gold, refine gold, load gold”(Doc 5). John Smith clearly shows how the colonists only cared

“False love, desire, and beauty frail, adieu! Dead is the root whence all these fancies grew,” (Sir Walter Raleigh). Raleigh portrays the love of poets as false love, which is similar to the way William Shakespeare describes it in Sonnet 130, where he mocks the way other poets exaggerate their muses’ beauty. Though one would assume Shakespeare wrote this sonnet to give to his mistress, he did not, as he was smart enough to know she would never talk to him again if he did. He in fact wrote it to mock

election of 1984 was the 50th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 6, 1984. The presidential race was between the incumbent Republican candidate, President Ronald Reagan, and former Vice President Democratic candidate, Walter Mondale. Reagan was helped in the election by a strong economic recovery from the deep recession of 1981–1982. Reagan carried 49 of the 50 states, becoming only the second presidential candidate to do so after Richard Nixon 's victory in the 1972

Humans have been communicating with each other as long as the human race can remember. It has been the essences of our survival allowing us to be able to pass on our knowledge, express ideas, and covey emotions. As time passed, we have learned different methods to communicate. For example, we have learned to communicate with words and symbols which has helped us evolve and form a foundation for our society. Words and symbols have allowed to us expand our ability to communicate and the ability to

a combination of pastoral and carpe diem poetry that invites its subject, with the incentives of gifts and paradise, to join its speaker in a natural utopia—it embodies the trend of poetry and invention through pastoral imagination. In comparison, Walter Ralegh’s “The Nymphs Reply to the Shepherd” is on the side of reason and philosophy, widely recognized as a refuting reply that uses Marlowe’s own structure against him to reject the Shepherd’s invitation. The question then becomes, if Ralegh’s response

Walter Lippman writes on his beliefs on the subject of personal freedom in the article “The Indispensable Opposition”. The author draws from his personal knowledge and observations of natural human interactions in order, to support the basis of his argument. He utilizes repetition of the word freedom, an abrasive tone, and day to day natural occurrences in order to stimulate the reader into thinking about freedom overall and how it effects themselves as a common human being. Lippmann also uses Voltaire’s
