Amalgam

words, utopia is an imaginative discourse that subverts political philosophy and government theories and denounces most government forms popular and lauded at the time. It is also noteworthy that the governments that appeared in utopia were often an amalgam of familiar forms of governments. Utopia is also concerned with the depiction of an ideal society, or as Davis calls it “social ideality.” The entire success of any utopia is…

Through these pitfalls and stumbles, I learned more about myself than I ever had before. These hardships emboldened me to become a unique amalgam of a soccer lover, debater, chess player, mathlete, and leader all molded into one body in a bustling school of 4000 students. I assimilated quickly- I speak “American”, I think “American”, I believe “American”- but I am, and forever will be, influenced…

Plato’s Republic deals with three central images, the sun, the line, and the cave. Through these images, Socrates explains to his student Glaucon the difference between sensory things and true thoughts and forms. Plato uses his allegory of the cave to assert that the masses are living in ignorant bliss and that it is the job of the philosopher, no matter the consequences, to spread enlightenment.

since the artwork has been made. Before I begin the exhibition, let me briefly explain the technique of Ormolu. The technique of Ormolu is called mercury gilding and, “mercury gilding is the process in which mercury is mixed with gold to make an amalgam that is applied to the surface of an object.” After the application, the heating process starts with the placement of the object in the over, or over a fire which is known as fire gilding—after the mercury has evaporated, it leaves “behind a…

“Surprise” and “String Quartet in C Major, op. 76, no. 3, second movement”, both by Franz Joseph Haydn, are the two works of music compared in this paper. Both the musical pieces are from the classical era, but have different genres. “Surprise” is a symphony, and the second musical piece is a string quartet. A string quartet by definition, includes four instruments, a cello, a viola and two violins. A symphony might include many groups of instruments, i.e. brass violins, piano, and stringed…

of its main characters – the half-sisters Mrs. Carteret and Mrs. Miller – stand “face to face” for the very first time. Both characters are devastated, inconsolable; indeed, the very air between the pair seems heavy, suffused as it is with a heady amalgam of private and public tragedy. It seems almost fitting, after what has just happened (in the narrative), that the two should meet for the first time in so wretched a manner, with each sister functioning as a stand-in for her entire race and…
