Do you know what Scat is or how to scat sing? Just look up Louis Armstrong, he created this masterpiece. Louis Armstrong was born on August 4, 1901, he was born in the birthplace of jazz--New Orleans, Louisiana. He was in foster care throughout his teenage years. His father abandoned the family right after Louis was born, and his mother resulted to prostitution, so he was often left with his maternal grandmother.

He pulled the picture out of the frame and read the back of the photo.

The frieze, which used to be a vital component of the Parthenon's architecture, is known as the "Elgin Marbles" or the "Parthenon Marbles.” The marbles are the subject of a custody battle. Supporters of repatriation argue that the Parthenon Marbles are part of the fifth century Temple of Athena and thus can best be appreciated closer to their point of origin. Additionally, repatriation supporters assert that Greece has become experts at restoring other parts of the Parthenon whereas Britain's…

British perspective, I have to agree with a Greek position forward turning in the statues to its original proper place in the Parthenon . British Ambassador to Constantinople, Lord Thomas Elgin taken the Parthenon Marbles from Athens under Turkish occupation. Meaning, the Greek government had no say in the decision of Laura Thomas Elgin of removing the Parthenon Marbles from Athens. The reason why the British should return the Parthenon Marbles back to Greece is because it is the Greeks the…

The Parthenon marbles, also referred to as the Elgin marbles (After Lord Elgin, ambassador to the Ottoman court of the Sultan in Istanbul (1801-1812) include the collection of sculptures, inscriptions and architectural features acquired from the British government by Lord Elgin in 1816 and now exposed in the British museum in Duveen Gallery (Room 18). Under Elgin’s instructions, the marbles were removed from the Acropolis (the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, and the Temple of Athena…

The Parthenon or “Elgin Marbles” controversy has had both Britain and Greece scramble over who has the most acceptable appeal regarding the statues ever since Lord Elgin removed the statues from the Parthenon. Yet, from a direct comparison between the two nations based upon the strength of arguments, Britain has the most valid claim to the Parthenon Marbles. Though the flaws and bias involved in the extrapolation of evidence mush be considered such as the lack of an original document provided by…

The Elgin Marbles, also known as the Parthenon Marbles, are cultural artifacts from ancient Greece. A British ambassador named Elgin was concerned about the probable damage that could have occurred to many important pieces of artworks in the temple of Greece during the Turkish occupation. Apparently, permission and the authority was given to Elgin to take many pieces of stone. Thus, the pieces were transported to London, England to preserve them. The British since then have the pieces of artwork…

Each country has the right to preserve its history, that is sensible. From the possible human and logical point of view, the true owners of the great artwork no matter where they are now, are the people who built them. In addition, the natural framework of any work, enhances its majesty, if a piece is Greek it is because speak of Greek culture and the past of the nation, therefore must belong to it, especially thinking that there is a museum on the Acropolis where they will be perfectly…

There is one issue that all ancient Greek art historians and archeologist agree on. That issue is that the reason why the Parthenon frieze cannot be correctly solved is that there is no ancient literature or sources that appropriately archives the context of the frieze. Without contextual evidence, the intertextuality of the subject matter corresponding to the Parthenon frieze becomes ambiguous to the modern viewer. Modern academics can only conceptualize and speculate about what the images of…

positions of power. Despite his intellect, Edmund, appears quite blind to his potential; Edmund had many opportunities for the time, he was able to grow up as a noble man, and had a good career ahead of him. While he would not have been able to become the Earl of Gloucester, he would have been better off than a large portion of the population. All of…
