another and see each of their talents. I had the opportunity in high school to be in a class that worked towards a single project to be auctioned off to raise money. Several other classes also came together and created a presentation of Starry Night by Van Gogh using small jewelry beans. Everyone joined in to hunt for specific beads and took criticism openly. When the final…

The Winter Concert was a marvelous showcase of music talent from the student body of St. John’s music society. There were in total twelve magnificent musical pieces and were all much appreciated by the people who were there. All the musical pieces were great, but the one that I enjoyed the most was the Claude Debussy which was presented by Kevin Won and Rex Chou who played the piano together. However, that does not take away from the other music works that were down. Furthermore, I felt all the…

After a time of triumph and nationalism post War of 1812, Americans were as gleeful as could be. The war ended gallantly with a win in New Orleans by troops led by Andrew Jackson. The presidential race of 1828 consisted of two strong candidates with faithful followers, John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. Adams was a highly educated man in terms of foreign affairs with his supporters being called National Republicans. On the contrary, Jackson, or "Old Hickory," was a charismatic man of the…

Vincent Willem van Gogh, born on March 30, 1853 in Groot-Zunderch, Netherlands, would one day be considered one of the worlds greatest Dutch painters. However, as talented and intelligent as he was, he would remain poor throughout his life. He knew four languages, had natural talent as an artist, chose a life in the ministry, but did not conform to others ideology or expectations. He refused to take Latin exams as he believed it to be a “dead language of poor people”. Unfortunately, he also had…

In Bram Stoker’s, Dracula, we see the New Woman first being introduced to the reader by the three women that Jonathan Harken encounters in Count Dracula’s castle. Mina and Lucy are a representation of the good, traditional Victorian women in comparison to those three women. In her article "Bram Stoker 's Dracula and Late-Victorian Advertising Tactics: Earnest Men, Virtuous Ladies, and Porn", Tanya Pikula argues that “Dracula not only functions as a ‘kind of ‘test-bed’ for competing arguments…

Rip’s demeanor to please seems to result from Irving’s own personality. This fictional character escaped to the mountains from Dame Van Winkle’s wrath, but returned to a new world of foolishness after the Revolutionary War like his escape to Europe from the disappointment of his brother and the changes of the world. His humor always presented itself as Rip Van Winkle exclaimed, “God knows, I’m not myself- I’m somebody else- I was myself last night…, and I’m changed, and I can’t tell what’s my…
