perspectives into thinking about free will. Not everything about the opinions posed make complete sense to me such a in the text Discourse of Free Will, “These words would be superfluous and powerless, if everything could be reduced to necessity” (Bloomsbury, Erasmus 47). When integrated the text in which they are referring to, this specific line with Erasmus regarding a passage in Matthew seems to be slightly misleading within the context of the statement. What especially appeared to be…

Through failure, an individual finds the need to continue striving towards their goals, eventually leading to success through perseverance. Vera Wang an extremely successful fashion designer, was rejected from her dream, but she stayed tenacious and pursued designing clothing. She grew up doing ballet and figure skating, and for years she devoted her time to these activities. In 1968 she tried out for the U.S. Olympic figure skating team, but she was rejected. Distraught, she then decided…

Venessa Bell’s spirit for revolution was presented in her painting. How she had bursted through the restrictions and biases from the Bloomsbury Group toward Impressionism, combining her passion toward post-impressionism and abstract, and defining her artwork by her very own style. Although restricted by the biblical theme of the artwork, Venessa’s resolve for change is still strong. She maintained her post impressionism traits with her loosened brushworks and intense colors. Abandoning the…

The first image I will be analyzing is a cover of The Handmaid’s Tale, Bloomsbury Edition. The combination of white and rouge creates a simple contrast between the background and the content. This contract draws the reader’s attention to the title of the book. However, the slightly grey vines also distracts the reader’s eyes by leading them away from the text. I believe this design would work better if the vines were drawn in an even darker grey. The repeated usage of the vine design above and…

According to Dan Lyons from Bloomsbury New Jersey, one of the most effective laws ever passed was requiring purchasers of alcohol to be 21 years of age. In 1984, Congress urged every state to require 21 as the legal drinking age for purchasing alcoholic drinks (Lyons). An estimated 1,071 lives were saved on the highways alone in 1987, and more than 20,000 lives since then (Lyons). As Robert Voas states, “The 21 law is predicated on the fact that drinking is more dangerous for youth because…

In her book, Molly Bawn, Margaret Wolfe Hungerford first says this common phrase as we know it today: “It’s true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder” (Bloomsbury International, 2014). But is this statement true? How can people decide what is beautiful if they are presented with images depicting what beauty should look like? These perceptions of beauty are created by what is shown to us through edited magazine photos, skinny models, and the sexualization of women which lead to unrealistic…

Literary periods Medieval (500-1500) In the beginning of the medieval period, which lasted from approximately 500-1500 A.D., not a lot of books were written, but literature was passed by word of mouth. During this period a lot of different languages were spoken in Britain, for example Celtic, Old English, Latina and a certain dialect of French called Anglo-Norman. During the medieval period the language of the upper class was French, which meant that French was the language of worldly…
