.... questions of analyzing art. These three questions are as follows: (1) What is the artist trying to do?, (2) How well does the artist do it?, and (3) Is it worth doing? The preceding questions could be answered in aim of the painter, actor, director, scene designer, make-up artist, and so on. In analyzing “Curse of the Starving Classes” with Goethe’s questions, I will keep my focus on the playwright, Sam Shepard. His is a story that I don’t come across very often. I believe Mr. Shepard wrote this play to bring a variety into the theatre, as well as writing about something he knows and has lived through. Just the fact that this story is his life memory brings f ....

.... the country. Therefore, the authors give two very different descriptions of the era of which they were all a part. Even in the beginnings of the works, the differences are very noticeable. Collier and Horowitz begin by trying to describe a "summary moment" (Collier and Horowitz 11) of the decade. This "moment" involves a revolutionary group known as the Black Panther Party. The authors seem to criticize this group by commenting on their appearances and their actions in certain events. For example, at a cocktail party, one Panther spit in the face of an army draftee because he brought a black friend from the army home while on leave. When the Panther returned to the pa ....

.... the English in Africa, through the Royal Niger company, which supposedly in a treaty offered protection and money to the tribes of the Niger river delta for their land, which was rich in resources. These tribes couldn't even read the treaty they were signing, "We understand the said Royal Niger company have full power to mine, farm and build in any portion of our country."(Human record, pg.92) This type of exploitation was common throughout , but it was all done in a way that it seemed as beneficial for the colonized, as for them. Technological Advancements were very important in the development of . Inventions such as the maxim machine gun and the steamboats were key for th ....

.... and fate and could not be prevented. Fate is something that happens beyond the character's control, Romeo and Juliet have control over everything that they do. The tragic ending of Romeo and Juliet is neither bad luck nor fate, but it is the result of the hasty personality and characteristic. Many, including Henry Alonzo, feel that Romeo and Juliet could not control and overcome their personality and therefor it brought them their tragic ending. Although many feel that Romeo and Juliet's tragic ending is fate and can not be change, Henry Alonzo agues against this saying that character flaws cause Romeo and Juliet's tragic ending. Henry Alonzo Myers feels that "fate…is ....

.... her total output of poems. In 1862, seeking advice about the quality of her poems, Dickinson wrote to Thomas Wentworth Higginson, a popular critic. Higginson advised against publication of Dickinson's poems because of the irregular rhythms, adapted from hymn meters, slant rhymes, eccentric phrasing, and emotional intensity. Nevertheless, she continued to write poems in that style. By the late 1860's, she had become a total recluse, dressing in all white, and withdrawn from contacts beyond the family. Emily Dickinson led a simple life. She was devoted to her parents, her sister Lavinia, and to her brother Austin whom she helped through an unhappy marriage. She was likewise i ....

.... They believed that a dead body should have been preserved as efficiently as possible. This is due to the fact that they believed the spirit, or ka, would return to the body in which it came from, from time to time. In preserving the body, they had to remove the internal organs so that they wouldn’t deteriorate inside the body. This is where art influenced by beliefs can be seen. The four ‘Canopic Jars’, which are considered art, were reserved for the function of holding the internal organs. They date back to 1070 to 712 BC. Each jar represented a different species. They were a human, baboon, falcon and jackal. They were also known as the ‘Four Sons of Horus’ ....

.... side in lesser battles that did not significantly impact either the tactical or strategic situations. Malvern Hill, the last major action of the Seven Days campaign where Confederate forces were severely and boldly repulsed, is one such example. When analyzing Gettysburg it has become commonplace to ask why Lee and his army failed to win a great victory. Fewer people look to the other side of the equation and ask why Meade and the AOP won. What circumstances changed to enable the AOP to transform a long string of defeats into a great victory? The odds were certainly against them in many ways. The AOP had become accustomed to losing. Fresh from two devastating d ....

.... He established the cult of Aton, or Aten, the sun god or solar disk, which he believed to be a universal, omnipresent spirit and the sole creator of the universe. He commisioned the building of a new open air temple to Aton it was different that temples to previous gods like Amun re which were dark with catacombs. Some scholars believe that the Hebrew prophets' concept of a universal God, preached seven or eight centuries later in a land that Akhenaton once ruled, was derived in part from his cult. After he established the new religion, sometimes referred to as solar monotheism, he changed his name from the royal designation Amenhotep IV to Akhenaton, meaning “Aton is ....
