Guido Reni was an Italian painter of popular religious works and mythological scenes. He was born in Bologna and began to study painting at the age of nine; he joined the Carracci Academy when he was 20. His studies were rounded off by a trip to Rome in about 1600. He worked with Annibale Carracci (another Italian painter) in Rome, helped in the decoration of the Farnese Palace, the Quirinal Palace, several of the churches of Rome, but his greatest painting in that city is the ceiling decoration of the Palazzo Rospigliosi Aurora. From that moment on, antique and recent Roman art became his ideals. Reni's inspirations came from another famous painter by the name of Raphael Sanzio. He followed in the footsteps of Raphael and learned from his paintings. Guido Reni was from the wealthy and grand Baroque period mostly during the Seventeenth century. His style of paintings was popular in several European countries and regions, including the Netherlands, England, France, Italy, and Spain. Reni was one of the most popular artists during the Baroque period. In his early days he was "a colorist of great purity, a composer with dramatic force, known for the greatest masters of his time" (1600–1615: The Artistic Milieu of Rome and the Young Guido Reni (IFA/NYU, D. Posner) He alternated between living in his native Bologna and visits to Rome. After Annibale Carracci's death (1609) he became the leader of the classical school of Emilian painters. His devotion to this school can be seen in the frescos he painted in Rome in around 1610 in the Quirinal Palace, the Vatican, and various churches (San Gregorio Magno al Cielo). The large altarpieces he painted in Bologna were: The Massacre of the Innocents and Pieta dei Mendicanti both in the Bologna Pinacoteca Nazionale. These paintings mark the...

A wise man once mused; "Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one
thinks of changing himself." This man, was Count Leo Tolstoy, who went on
to change his belief structure, values and to convert his religion from
Russian Orthodox to Christianity.
A couple of days ago I was cleaning out my now unused study – recently I
have been finding other places to write, my bed, the bathroom, even in the
bath, as the portability of the laptop proves very convenient – and I
stumbled upon a book, well read, yet discarded in my 'old age'. Gwen
Harwood's collection of poems was now sitting in my hand, and after five
minutes of staring blankly at the book I opened it and flicked through the
pages.
If I had remembered rightly her poems said much about the changing self,
concluding that change developed and enriched the soul. It started me
thinking about change and how many people are frightened of changing
themselves. I reflected that a change in self usually occurs due to the
presence of an external stimulus. Rarely does the individual initiate
change. Reading through the poems I found some of my favourites, which
depicted change effectively. I speculated that changing the self probably
also requires a strong ego!
In Harwood's pair of poems entitled ''Father and Child'', she explores the
changing relationship between a father and child; the self growing up and
growing old. In both poems, it is the presence of death that has caused
the self to change.
In ''Barn Owl"', the child resists and finally accepts change through the
realisation that death is final. Notes in the margin of my book, defacing
the text, made it hard to read, but I could decipher some of my
scribblings outlining the way the change had occurred. The child confronts
the death of the owl as '"master of life and death"'; she sees the death as
final and has no perception of her or...

In the play Hamlet there are two kings, both brothers, one dead because of the actions of another. Both the old and the new kings interpret this harsh murder very differently. William Shakespeare uses diction, imagery, and tone in the speeches of both kings to bring out these very different emotions about the same crime. When old Hamlet is speaking about the murder he describes it as, "Oh horrible, oh horrible, most horrible!" During his whole speech to young Hamlet, he upholds a very angry and revengeful tone. He calls Claudius, his brother, an "incestuous, adulterate beast." He feels very betrayed that "by a brother's hand" he was killed and "cut off even in the blossoms of his sin." This means that more than anything he is upset that Claudius, knowingly, killed him before he even got to repent for his sins, which condemned him to hell. Shakespeare also uses a great deal of imagery of the murder to show how upset and disgusted the ghost is of the crime and situation. The ghost, when describing the murder, refers to the poison poured in his ear as "leprous distilment," "cursed," and "swift as quicksilver." When he calls the poison "leprous distilment" Shakespeare is making a reference to the leper in the Bible that was never able to see outside the gates, which is actually how the ghost felt when he was murdered. He uses words like, "unhouseled," "disappointed," and "unaneled" to describe the betrayal that old Hamlet felt from his own brother's murder. It is obvious that the ghost feels that the murder was something that was not supposed to happen yet. Old Hamlet was a very proud king and when speaking of his life before the murder he refers to "me", "I" and "mine," and by no means will he...

Character Analysis Harold 'Mitch' Mitchell 'A Streetcar Named Desire', written by Tennessee Williams in 1947, introduces a variety of characters, whose origins differ in nationality, background and beliefs. I would like to analyze Harold Mitchell, better known as Mitch, whose unusual personality and attitude caught my attention and motivated me to write this commentary on him. Mitch is indeed the most passive character in the play. He has the same poor working class background as Stanley, but he is certainly not of the same coarseness and vulgarity. In fact, all his poker friends tease him because of his concern about his ailing mother, calling him a 'mama's boy', but he obviously cares more about her well being than their opinion, which he ignores. A dependable, hard-working man, he served with Stanley in the war and, like many other young soldiers returning from battle, has settled down in New Orleans and works at a factory with his friends. Already in their first encounter, Blanche notices his sensitivity and his attempt to be courteous in her presence: "Blanche [to Stella]: That one seems – superior to the others" (page 146). When she learns from her sister that he is an eligible bachelor, Blanche immediately shows an open interest in him. Mitch is overwhelmed by her attention, and starts worshiping her as he realizes her noble chaste, purity and innocence, being enchanted by her feminine charm and refined manners. Although kind, Mitch is clearly not her equal and too mediocre for the 'aristocratic' Blanche, that is why they make an odd couple. As the pair is shown increasingly together, the differences between them become each time more apparent. Nevertheless, Blanche will have to make compromises, just like her sister has done; but at least Mitch is non-violent and caring, completely different from the uneducated and unrefined Stanley. Mitch can...

I will be doing my final project on the subject of should Harry Potter books be ban from schools. That being school required reading lists and also the school libraries. I will be taking the stand of 'no', this series of books should in no way be ban from schools. I will be conducting field interviews via a camcorder. My subjects will be people from all walks off life: children, young adults, and adults. I will be going everywhere from the heart of these institutions where I can reach the students specifically to my immediate family where I will get a unique viewpoint from my sister and her daughter who is a Harry Potter fan. I am expecting and hoping to receive a wide array of opinions on this subject and other closely related Harry Potter subjects. My interviews, hopefully, will provide a solid means to my conclusion; however, if they do not, modifications might have to be made. Despite all of this, Harr Potter still prevailed and went on to kill all of the bad guys. Sure Harry Potter books are not as widely read by the younger generation as they should be, but in time they will be. There can only be on factor in which will decide something lik this, and that is time. Time is of the essence and only hermoine, harry, and will can help themselves out. Good luck to them on their journey through time and the rest of the harry Potter novels. so good luck to them. Temporary Bibliography 1. McCuen, Barbara.

"Hate Crimes" There are many different hate crimes going on in the world today, most people don't know this. Hate crimes are violent acts against people, property, or organizations because of the group which they belong to. A hate crime can range from a simple assault with no weapon to aggravated assault, rape, and sometimes even murder. There are laws against hate crimes, but yet people still act in them. In 1996 alone, there were 8,759 hate crimes in the United States reported to the FBI. Hate crimes can also be called Bias crimes. Many people think that people that commit hate crimes are all "skin heads" or Nazis. The sorry truth is that only five percent of the people that commit hate crimes are in a organized group. These crimes are carried out by usually young people who don't see anything wrong with their actions. These young people most of the time are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. They do these hate crimes usually because the person is "different" then everyone else (Herek), but I say who are they to judge on who is normal, and who is different. The biggest reason why people commit these hate crimes today is homosexuality. People that are gay or lesbians choose there lifestyle and should not have to put up with people making fun of them or even beating them up just because they chose this way of life. Some teenagers will beat a gay man up just because they think he looked at them. Some teens also assault them just to feel "strong." Lesbian and gay victims suffer more serious psychological effects from hate crimes than they do from other kinds of criminal injury (Green). Another common reason why people commit these crimes is religious discrimination. Most religious hate crimes are acts of...

Paul Rosenblatt Enlglish 101 Douglas Research Paper Moving in the Military as a Child For some people, growing up consists of going to the same elementary school, the same middle school, the same high school, with all of the same people. This kind of environment encourages a strong relationship and bonding between the child and the kids who he/she grows up with. They have don't have to worry about moving and having to make new friends because everyone they know is there, and will be there for a good amount of time. However, the average military family doesn't get to experience this kind of luxury of having a close knit of friends and the comfort zone that a community provides. "Military life imposes unique demands on families. Military assignments often require families to be relocated far from family support networks and frequently require remote or temporary assignments. Relocation impacts all aspects of family life, spouse employment, family finances, a sense of belonging and security. On average, military families move twice as often as civilian families. During the adolescent years, relocating requires youth to reestablish peer support systems and friends at a very difficult stage of development (http://dticaw.dtic.mil/familyforum/read-aheads/milyouthprog.html)." Being a child from a military family, I know the ups and downs of the lifestyle. While one does get a chance to see the world, there are many social problems that can arise from all the moving that is done. I am the youngest child of four boys. Since I was born, I have moved ten times. I have lived from Hawaii to Germany. When I was a little boy, it wasn't so hard to pack up my bags and say bye to my friends. As the years went past, I became more mature and emotional. The psychological affects of moving after making a good group of friends can...

Concern of the Health Care System Throughout the United States there has been an overwhelming concern as to the status of the present health care system. Approximately 100,000 people lose their health insurance each month. Unfortunately the present system does little to nothing to aid these people. It is for this reason that various managed health care plans have come into existence and use. Managed health care is a system by which an outside body, such as a state or federal government places regulations on the health care process. St. Luke/ Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan is currently operating under a managed health care plan. Vickie Powell, In-patient Pharmacy Supervisor at St. Luke/ Roosevelt states that the approach to managed care in the hospital involves a "Gatekeeper" mechanism. According to Powell each patient is assigned a gatekeeper, a general practitioner who will decide if the patient is in need of a specialist. If so the gatekeeper will make a referral to a specialist. Providing the patient chooses to follow the gatekeeper's referral he or she will be granted the health care benefits covered under the managed health care plan. If they are to go against the referral and see a doctor not recommended they do not receive the coverage that they would under the plan. When asked how this would affect the pharmacy aspect of the hospital she said "Pharmacy must become involved in the schooling of the patient about the medicine, where this was previously the job of the nurse." Besides this she says it would not have a great effect on her department as opposed to the hospital as a whole. Managed health care plan that has received the most publicity is that of President Bill Clinton. Clinton's plan calls for universal health insurance, meaning that no one could...

The Old Man and the Sea is a heroic tale of man's strength pitted against forces he cannot control. It is a story about an old Cuban fisherman and his three-day battle with a giant Marlin. Through portraying tests of endurance, fatigue, old age, solitude, impending death, to which Santiago is subjected. Hemingway make Old Santiago become the finest and best of the code heroes .In fact, Santiago is the clearest representation of the code hero in all of Hemingway's novels because he is not wounded permanently or disillusioned. Santiago possesses all of the Hemingway-code-hero qualities and be able to execute three prominent qualities: skill in doing what you do well, grace under pressure, and endurance. A quality of a Hemingway Code Hero is skill at what one does. The old man is definitely a skilled fisherman, and thus he fits this quality of a Code Hero. The old man uses the sea current to help him maneuver his boat, and by doing so demonstrates a large amount of skill. Only a skilled fisherman would know how to use the current to help him move around. "He was letting the current do a third of the work"(p. 30). Another time it is evident Santiago has skill, is when he uses a bird overhead to determine in what area he should fish. He knows that the bird overhead is a sign that there are fish below. "He rowed slowly and steadily towards where the bird was circling" (p. 33). Only a skilled fisherman would look for clues around him to determine where to fish. Santiago uses his great skill at fishing to raise the marlin he is battling with during the course of the book. This marlin is longer than his boat and weighs over 1,500 pounds. Even in Cuba, where there are many...

The topic of abortion is one of the most controversial of our times. It has caused countless deaths and several violent confrontations between the two separate parties of opinion. The fight between pro-life and pro-choice supporters has been long and brutal. This is because, despite what several people may believe, abortion is neither right nor wrong. It is a matter of personal opinion. In this way, each side can say with certainty that the other is wrong. Therefore the question remains; should abortion be legal? Though some may disagree on this point, the fact is that legalized abortion is the only option that will protect the lives of American citizens. One only needs to look into American history to see the results of prohibiting abortions to women. The violence which occurs today because the of pro-choice/pro-life conflicts is minimal in comparison to the thousands of hopeless women who turned to the illegal abortions --either self-inflicted or preformed by the backroom "professionals"-- which resulted in infection, massive blood loss, and death. It is better now that they have a place to go where abortions can be performed cleanly and with minimal risk. Legalization of abortion is the only choice no matter what side one takes in the debate. Women will try to do what they think is necessary to live as they wish, no matter what the risk. In order to live as she chooses a woman may give up her freedom, her morals, her beliefs, her family, or even her life. Abortion has been around for thousands of years in every inhabited corner of the globe. It has always been accepted as a means to prevent the suffering of both woman and potential child. It has been practiced widely in every society for many reasons including famine, war, poverty, overpopulation, or simply...

As one biographer claims of Henry Irving, "His career not only spanned the whole history of the Victorian theatre, but it was the Victorian theatre." Born John Henry Brodbibb in 1838, Irving was the son of devoutly Methodist parents—in fact, after he became an actor, which was not considered a respectable profession, his mother neither spoke to him nor saw him again. At age 12, his father, a traveling salesman, took him to a performance of Hamlet and from that moment on, Henry Irving was determined to become an actor. Irving performed in almost every popular play. As Jeffrey Richards writes, "He made no distinction between high and low brow, alternating happily between Shakespeare and popular melodramas, showing all of them equal respect." He not only performed to audiences in the Lyceum—the theatre he was ultimately to manage--but also toured extensively, and is credited with, by Oscar Wilde among others, establishing a truly national theatrical taste. He is associated with Ellen Terry, his leading lady as well as business and most likely private partner—She was the most famous actress of the period, who, at one point, played Ophelia to Irving's Hamlet. (Gordon Craig's mother). Before Irving (same era), Charles Fechter (in London) and Edwin Booth (of the famous Booth family, which included John Wilkes) (in London and America) were the most famous of the actors playing Hamlet. Irving was taking a risk in playing Hamlet; he was famous but not yet considered distinguished enough to be a true Shakespearian actor. In addition, there was a saying in the theatre world, "Shakespeare spells ruin." This association of Shakespeare with ruin came partly because a few theatres had attempted to produce Shakespeare with extremely costly spectacular effects common to the Victorian melodrama, without achieving the same popular success. Hamlet, however, firmly established Irving...

Describe the work of the sculptor, Henry Moore looking at the influences on his work, his ideas, techniques and personal style. Henry Moore's sculptures were most commonly very simple solid images. Many were of women, perhaps to celebrate their role in society and show their strength. Moore's mother was a strong woman and it is apparent through his work that he viewed women as the crux of the family. The women depicted in his sculptures are sturdy and heavy looking which confirms this. One sculpture which displays this quality of his work is his Seated and Draped Figure crafted in bronze which depicts an exaggeratedly broad woman positioned as the name of the sculpture suggests. Moore looked at the female figure as a landscape and it is possible to see the similarities between the rolling lines of the figures in his sculptures and the moors where he grew up. One of Moore's favoured subject matters is the reclining figure. He has several works depicting the reclining female form done in a variety of techniques and materials. To name a few examples the Reclining Figure is carved out of elmwood, while Recumbent Figure is a stone sculpture. Recumbent figure is also a good example of how Moore was able to synthesise the subject matter of the woman and make the sculpture quite abstract without losing the strong sense of the human form. The Recumbent figure features a hole in its centre which is not uncommon in Moore's work. He likes to focus on negative spaces as he finds them just as important a part of the rest of the sculpture. The void spaces in the sculptures also add a touch of mystery to his work which is the central theme in his bronze Double Oval. Double Oval is also good example of a typical piece...

"I think I was probably about eleven when I first decided I wanted to be a sculptor. I remember quite clearly the instant. As a boy, at school, I liked the art lessons, I liked drawing. I used to get my elder brother to draw horses and other things for me from as early as I can remember" (The Documents of 20th Century Art, Philip James, 31). Henry Moore was born on July 30, 1898 in the small coal-mining town of Castleford, Yorkshire. His father, Henry, supported his large family as a miner (Henry was the seventh of eight other siblings and his mother, Mary, spent her time taking care of the family). Moore had a humble upbringing but was still determined to become an artist from a very young age. Henry Moore attended his local elementary school, and at age 12. It was then that he received his first real honor, a free place in the secondary school. He had tremendous support from the art teacher, Miss Alice Gostick. She sensed his talent and yearning to learn more, she was also a huge influence on his excitement for medieval sculpture. He then became a teacher at his elementary school at age 18, absorbing everything he came across in the way of art. Henry Moore's father's great-grandfather had emigrated from Ireland, perhaps the driving influence on his Irish-Anglo-Saxon art style. In September of 1919, Moore received a grant that allowed him to study at the Leed's School of Art for two years. Moore stated that he learned nothing from his teachers there, but he spent the entire year drawing from the models and plaster casts. This year was influential in that he was able to truly focus on his art, since he felt he was learning nothing from his art professors. While...

he company's interests to stretch to extravagances such as giving out free drink coupons as a promotional exercise. With oil-cloth banners and streetcar signs, the drink began to sell extremely well. It is not clear why exactly Pemberton then sold the rights to the Coca-Cola formula - he had developed cancer and it is possible that his morphine addiction was now very serious - but in 1887, Willis Venable and George Lowndes purchased two-thirds of the rights. He told Lowndes "I am sick, and I believe I will never get out of this bed. The only thing I have is Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola some day will be a national drink. I want to keep a third interest in it so that my son will always have a living". Little did Pemberton know that his son Charley would be dead from a morphine overdose only six years later. Pemberton's illness worsened, but he remained obsessed with perfecting the Coca-Cola formula. Several times in his dying months he struggled to his laboratory to experiment with a modified cola drink with celery extract. "He did not care anything about what he had already accomplished", one of his associates remarked, "he wanted something new". On August 16, 1888, John Pemberton passed away. His obituary described him as "the oldest druggist of Atlanta and one of her best-known citizens an especially popular gentleman". Comments John Pemberton's obsessive search for the perfect drink is typical of the inventor and of the early stages of a corporate history. What begins as research becomes a self-sacrificing, heroic, project. One common feature of the great inventor is that they rarely profit themselves from their discoveries. Due to the poor business sense that Pemberton displayed towards the end of his career, the ownership of his idea was taken away from him, and his wife died a...

Since the first murmurings of war, journalists from across the nation evaluated and implemented various coverage methods. Some were live news feeds from Iraq, some largely editorial, some sensational and some ran alongside articles about high school graduation and senioritis. In the seemingly endless stream of war coverage in mass media, high school publications have not been left behind. Rather, the scholastic press has embraced the opportunity to inform students of international matters, attempting to make the news interesting and understandable to high school students. "I know there are students on campus who couldn't care less about the war. But if there's one kid who wants to know more or has an interest, there's a reason to write the story," Jeff Katz, 17, co-editor in chief of the Granite Bay High School Gazette, said. Although the topic is covered in all media, high school journalists are forced to deal with war coverage in unique ways due to their main audience, print schedules and resources. Since information provided in the professional media can often be in-depth and elaborate, comprehension of international issues can be dauntingly complex for some students. "I tell my students: 'your goal is not to inflate diction or create complex, lengthy paragraphs; your objective is to clearly communicate,'" Gazette adviser Karl Grubaugh said. "That's what good newspapers do - take significant stories and make sense of them for their community and readership." In Puyallup, Wash., the staff of the Emerald Ridge High School Jagwire used various techniques to clarify topics for a teenage audience, including infographics, maps and timelines to explain the precedence of political turmoil in Iraq to students who perhaps know little about the background of the conflict. "A lot of the problem with the war is that until you turn on the TV and see missiles exploding, it doesn't seem real. And...
