When investing in real estate it can be both risky and intimidating. Purchasing property is a big commitment and failing to follow through with payments and taxes can easily ruin a credit score and leave an individual in financial instability. However, with the right investment and smart money management, the potential to profit substantially off a single rental property is great. The typical investor will chose a property that can generate income as well as sustain itself. The income is…

1. The “isn’t that disgusting strategy” that critics of modern art often use to critique works is effective with some people because it allows them to glimpse over the art’s meaning and simply state it is not a good piece of work. It is much easier to say something is ugly than try to understand why it appears that why. The type of critique is convincing for many people as once an artwork is deemed ugly or of little skill, it devalues the work and makes it seem not as important or significant as…

Chase and Carson, however, were very appreciative of what they had. They expressed more appreciation to few material belongings than my brother and I did to plenty. I realized that these two boys are happier because they know what they have. They know what brings happiness. From that point, I began to make more of an effort to be appreciative…

counteracts whatever misfortune befalls on an individual. “A nobler want of man is served by nature, namely, the love of Beauty” (1829). Emerson claims that nature is the source of all things pure and without it acting as a release for us, we lose appreciation and we, as a society, will eventually all become identical, emotionless robots. To avoid the above situation, it is necessary to abide by the standards set in place by Ralph Waldo…

Through this reading, other than the fact about how beautiful nature is, I realized that the appreciation that the author has towards nature is incredible, and this is why the poem holds such a strong appeal even for many years to…

remembered. The roughness and the finger prints left in the dasher meant being able to touch the loved ones that once used that same object. All this objects can symbolize greater objects then they appear to be, they also symbolize history, love, and appreciation which is necessary for use because without our history we are nothing. In the short story, a woman named Mrs. Johnson has had a rough life trying to…

Namely, Brutus' superfluously chiasmic exordium "believe me for mine honour and have respect to mine honour that you may believe" needlessly forbids the audience an appreciation of his message, underlining the weakness of his incapacity to adapt to the public occasion. This weakness is accentuated upon contrast with the shrewdly contrived eulogy of Antony, whereby he announces "let me not stir you up to such a sudden flood…

event, definitely not for a writers' festival" (26). The last reader, or Oriole as Lola Basyang refers to her, has a different perspective on the chanter's story. Unlike the two other readers, she disregards all forms of self-centeredness and shows appreciation for Lola Basyang's work by being "engulfed by the chant, lulled into it" (23). Aside from the possible patriarchal reference, it is important to note that Oriole was one of the very few who did not shun Lola's masterpiece, and this gave…

For this project I had visited The Getty in Los Angeles, California. The Getty is an open to the public museum that showcases paintings from all over the world from many different time periods. The museum also features sculptures, drawings, decorative arts, and even manuscripts. While at The Getty, there was much art to observe, but I had settled on three distinct pieces of art. All of the pieces of art were Italian and were created before the 1500s. The titles of the pieces of art are Branchini…
