Listening to the selections I found they all generally appeal to me though others have more of an immediate preference than others. A genuine love for music creates an appreciation for all genres.

This might first be hard to understand but while looking through the work of Laura Mulvey we come to understand that “phantasy” is a mixture of sexual desire and self-image. Mulvey states, “During its history, the cinema seems to have evolved a particular illusion of reality in which this contradiction between libido and ego has found a beautifully complementary phantasy world.” (VP & NC pg. 308).…

    ed he “would rather die a thousand deaths” than surrender to Grant (Winik 168). Plus, when you take into consideration that the Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, had already supported the idea of guerilla warfare, it is obvious that Alexander’s plan was a tempting option from Lee’s point of view. Even with all the benefits guerilla warfare would have had for Lee, he still decided against it, largely due to his sense of duty to the country.

In addition to establishing themselves as strong women in their daily lives,…

Unfortunately, it came with great disadvantages for immigrants following World War I, where Americans were left distrustful of communist, socialist, or anarchist ideologies shared by many foreigners. This led to the creation of an anti-immigrant sentiment where individuals particularly from Russia, Southern and Eastern Europe were neglected from society and, in many cases, discriminated even by the authorities to the extent of utilizing deportation as an easy way to eliminate…
