Assumptions of Homosexuality in 18th Century Composers Phillip Brett begins his article on issues of sexuality in 18th century music with an observation from 20th century composer Virgil Thompson, who noted that no one in music ever talked about homosexuality. This assertion is quickly contradicted with a quote from Havelock Ellis, who states that “It has been extravagantly said that all musicians are inverts.” Ellis uses the dated psychological term “inverts” to refer to those displaying…

There are many points that can be compared in Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” to her “A Visit to Avoyelles” short story. For example, both of the stories take place in the nineteenth century, and revolve around something to do with marriage or human relationships. However, there are also more important points in contrast. In perspective of Kate Chopin’s view of human relationships, assumptions of other human beings, and themes within the stories, each can have their own comparisons, but…

“The Problem of Poverty” articulated his emphasis of religion towards the idea of poverty. Kuyper speaks of how he supports the ideals of a Christian socialist perspective. Christian socialists of the 20th century continually invoked Christ in provision of their ideals and held the Holy text as a primary reference, just as the speech “The Problem of Poverty” did. Christian socialists made the connection between social distress and Christianity just as Kuyper…

The 17th century up to the early 18th century is considered one of my favorite time periods. It is just something about the way the people spoke to one another, the way they wore their hair, and the way they dressed that always caught my eye, especially the women. Madame de Pompadour was the person I have chosen to write about for my research paper. I chose Pompadour because I read a brief summary of her life story seeing that she was born into the 17th century and I happened to like that time…

The 21st century is full of new experiences and new sensations that captivate Americas modern society. New iphones, apple watches, cars that drive themselves, all of these are things that the new generation craves and claims they have to have. One of the biggest changes though? Religion. The world has now put more emphasis on sports then religion. Back in the 20th century you went to church every sunday and had to do you daily devotions before you could have dinner. Now, we trade those bibles…

interesting in the 16th and 17th century, the social classes, punishments, education, and living situations of the citizens all had a very distinguishing flare to them. There is much people do not know about London during the 16th and 17th century, it was certainly different from the London people know and see today. Social classes seemed to define everything, where people worked, lived, and went to school. The class system in London during the 16th and 17th century was very interesting indeed.…

Many people may have seen the movie, The Makeover, while browsing through something to watch on a Sunday afternoon, but what many people have not read, or even heard, of is the play Pygmalion. The play, published in the early twentieth century, focuses on a girl named Eliza Doolittle who desires to work in a flower shop; the 2013 movie follows a man, Elliot Doolittle, who wants to be a sales representative for a beer company. Although both movie and play follow the same plot structure, they each…

corrupted government, that it was “glittering on the surface corrupt underneath”, addresses the corruption that was shaping the nation in the mid-19th century. Reconstruction was a time when the U.S. population and economy grew quickly, but along with this, there was a lot of political corruption.

Republicans and Democrats have not agreed on much for a long time, since the late 1700’s, in fact. They are not afraid to let people know that they disagree and they have no filter on how they show it. In fact, this year has been a huge year for the political parties because it is an election year. Also this election has been none like others, because of the name calling, private e-mail leaks and so much more. It has shown the true sides of both parties. In-between all of that, the parties did…
