The Elgin Marbles, also known as the Parthenon Marbles, are cultural artifacts from ancient Greece. A British ambassador named Elgin was concerned about the probable damage that could have occurred to many important pieces of artworks in the temple of Greece during the Turkish occupation. Apparently, permission and the authority was given to Elgin to take many pieces of stone. Thus, the pieces were transported to London, England to preserve them. The British since then have the pieces of artwork…

The Parthenon or “Elgin Marbles” controversy has had both Britain and Greece scramble over who has the most acceptable appeal regarding the statues ever since Lord Elgin removed the statues from the Parthenon. Yet, from a direct comparison between the two nations based upon the strength of arguments, Britain has the most valid claim to the Parthenon Marbles. Though the flaws and bias involved in the extrapolation of evidence mush be considered such as the lack of an original document provided by…

The frieze, which used to be a vital component of the Parthenon's architecture, is known as the "Elgin Marbles" or the "Parthenon Marbles.” The marbles are the subject of a custody battle. Supporters of repatriation argue that the Parthenon Marbles are part of the fifth century Temple of Athena and thus can best be appreciated closer to their point of origin. Additionally, repatriation supporters assert that Greece has become experts at restoring other parts of the Parthenon whereas Britain's…

For the issue of the ownership of the Parthenon statues between the Greek and British perspective, I have to agree with a Greek position forward turning in the statues to its original proper place in the Parthenon . British Ambassador to Constantinople, Lord Thomas Elgin taken the Parthenon Marbles from Athens under Turkish occupation. Meaning, the Greek government had no say in the decision of Laura Thomas Elgin of removing the Parthenon Marbles from Athens. The reason why the British should…

The Parthenon marbles, also referred to as the Elgin marbles (After Lord Elgin, ambassador to the Ottoman court of the Sultan in Istanbul (1801-1812) include the collection of sculptures, inscriptions and architectural features acquired from the British government by Lord Elgin in 1816 and now exposed in the British museum in Duveen Gallery (Room 18). Under Elgin’s instructions, the marbles were removed from the Acropolis (the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, and the Temple of Athena…

been a huge topic especially because they happen all the time, last month being one, it was one of the biggest killing sprees in history here in Florida. Additionally, to killing sprees I have chosen to write my essay on the poem Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen and the film Final Girl, directed by Tyler Shields. These two stories are all so similar but so different whether it’s theme, setting, symbolism, or simply the characters intentions. The poem and film give off a very detailed story giving…

Iron Maiden first released “Run to the Hills” as a single in 1982, and Bruce Springsteen released “Born in the U.S.A” on the album of the same name in 1984. Both songs comment on aspects of America. Although they are seemingly unrelated, both Iron Maiden and Bruce Springsteen use their musical talents in each song to give an outlet for these issues to be heard. “Run to the Hills” by Iron Maiden is a song about the troubles between Native Americans and Europeans when the Europeans first arrived…

When you were telling us about this movie we were going to watch I was thinking to myself how much of music can actually be a form of protest and the movie looks old so how can it be any good. By the end of the movie I was very interested in realizing that music had a huge effect on the past as well as it does in the present time. I believe that the thesis of this movie was to tell stories about the better view of civil rights and how the life was for many workers during this time. I think…

usually reveal the basis of where the writer lies both politically and morally. Although his album is not originally political based, Bruce Springsteen was successfully able to transform this record into one with an underlying patriotic motif. This alone demonstrates the appreciation and overall aptitude for our daily personal freedoms; as without these freedoms, Springsteen would have never been able to release the album in the first place. Lastly, living in a country that is unable to agree…

1. Based on the story and song, how does Bruce Springsteen convince us of his authenticity, the belief that he is not an act? Throughout the song “The River” by Bruce Springsteen, one will note the many real life complications portrayed throughout, including unemployment, family values, premarital sex, and suicidal thoughts. Each makes up the storyline of the song, which is about a man who was too eager to jump into a relationship that he was not prepared for, which resulted in mistakes that…
