“How Do I Love Thee” Sylvia Plath was an author in the Modern Era in which she wrote her poem entitled “Daddy” (Plath). In her poem, Plath reflects the Modern Era in which her attitude and words convey the relationship she had with her father. The second author, Elizabeth Barrett Browning with her poem, “How Do I Love Thee” (Barrett Browning) was a poet in the Victorian Era. Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poem fits into the Victorian Era with the use of archaic language along visual images to…
in the Victorian era, with three evident themes; childhood innocence, Scrooge’s transformation, and social justice. The Victorian era lasted from 1837 until 1901. In this time, children were viewed as angels close to Heaven, which was an extremely important belief of people in the Victorian era. During this time, children were considered the purest and most innocent beings of the Earth, therefore childhood innocence is in the novella. There were different social classes in this era, being…
emphasis given to Gislebertus’ Last Judgment. The Last Judgment sculpture depicts both aspects of the religious culture: heaven, hell, good, and evil. The statue possesses intricate detail of the human figure as well as angels and demons balancing out the souls who pass on to heaven and those who will be damned. There were not any sculptures that I disliked as each era possessed, characteristics that are appealing. Sculptures and artwork is an ability that few possess. I feel that French…
can have seasons of sadness, love, and or hurt. This metaphor just basically describes the stages in our lives and the emotion of that stage in which we are feeling during…
that "rights" and "wrongs" vary among humans and cultures based on individual feelings and social and other circumstances. I believe that humans all over the world have different experiences and cultivation. Not everyone is comparable and every human has a distinct way of viewing and perceiving whether I or others think is right or wrong. For example, a young African boy and his family were disciplined with "good" morals such as respecting neighbors, each other, and helping the community…
The concerts for the Baroque era were held inside of a bulding. Going to a concert in this era people put on any type of clothing some don’t wear shirts, people around you are smoking, doing drugs and just acting a fool. You have to be careful going to concerts now people are pushing others, trampling over people, and shootings takes place at many concerts in this era and it’s just ridiculous. Concerts in this era take place just about anywhere inside, outside, on the beach…
The Romantic period of poetry wasn’t just about the romantic imaginings of the natural life; it was rife with social and political issues. The Romantic Era was a particularly turbulent time for these problems and the writers of this time reflected day-to-day struggles with poverty, the crushing power of the ruling classes and the previous fall of the French nobles at the hands of those beneath them in various ways. Shelley’s “Ozymandias” was one such politically driven poem. The idea that a…
to what African Americans had to do during the 1960’s in order to gather together and have fun without being harassed by law enforcement and other civilians for being happy. I first saw the work in a popular show that was made in the 1970’s called Good Times, about African Americans living in the poverty areas of Chicago. The elements that stuck out to me in the painting were the signs located in the painting, giving people in The Sugar Shack an opportunity to showcase their talents, or just…
Charles Dickens was one of the most celebrated authors of his time. He lived from 1812 to 1870, and had a very good life. He was one of the pioneers of realistic and satirical literature. Dickens tried to make remarks about the different social classes and people of the age. His stories were serialized and put into newspapers. The funny thing was that the upper classes had no idea that these satirical and somewhat rude were written about them! I agree with the Mr. Sullivan, Sherman and Harrison…
Ludwig van Beethoven Every era in History has its challenges for society. It is easy to observe what people of their time throughout centuries went through. Whatever an individual faces in life usually gets depicted in a composers work. Whether it is a personal life, tragedy, war, or diseases, each of these factors play a major role in how and using what genre music was composed. Other than such facts, a persons’ surrounding, companions, to be exact, have an immense impact on an individual. One…
