.... drawings show but he really didn’t have any originality. To fulfill his dream he moved to Vienna where the academy of arts was located. Adolf failed to be accepted to the academy in 1906. In 1907 he tried again and was confident that he would make it in. To his surprise he failed again to be accepted into the academy. The dean of the academy told Adolf that he could never be a painter (Smith 29). This rejection crushed him, as he now had nowhere else to go.

While living in Vienna Adolf made his living by drawing small pictures of famo ....

The two forms that were to have special significance for Beethoven were still to come: he completed his first symphony in 1800 and his first set of string quartets in 1801.

When William Shakespeare was about seven years old, he probably began attending the Stratford Grammar School with other boys of his social class. Students went to school year round attending school for nine hours a day. The teachers were strict disciplinarians. Though Shakespeare spent long hours at school, his boyhood was probably fascinating. Stratford was a lively town and during holidays, it was known to put on pageants and many popular shows. It also held several large fairs during the year. ....

As he explained it, he started trying "to shave off all imagery, pretensions of poetry, illusions of grandeur...Just say what it is, simple English, make it rhyme and put a backbeat on it, and express yourself as simply [and] straightforwardly as possible." His most fully realized statement, as a solo artist was 1970's /Plastic Ono Band. Lennon's first solo album, it followed several avant-garde sound collages recorded toward the end of the Beatles era with his wife and collaborator, Yoko Ono. The raw, confessional nature of Plastic Ono Band reflected the primal-scream therapy that Lennon and Ono ....

.... exists today, what forms it takes, and to describe what the term alienation ment to Karl Marx. I will take a two fold approach to this essay. First, I will discuss Karl Marx’s concept of alienation, and second I will tackle the question of alienation today, and if I feel that it has increased of decreased. Before answering this question, one must find the exact meaning of alienation to interpret what Marx ment. According to the Websters dictionary, Alienation is defined as a “withdrawing or separation of a person or a person’s affections from an object or position of former attachment.” Marx believed this term was best present in the labor force at ....

.... bodily pleasures, wants and lusts overrule rationality. The people who do let the soul rule over the body are in the ‘perfect state’. Because they succeed in seeing the grand scheme of things, that reason is more important than appetites, they are fit to be the rulers of the slaves. My opinion on Aristotle’s notion The superiority of the soul over the body is not as absolute as Aristotle puts it. Most certainly there are many times when the soul is more important than the body.
