The supreme genius of the ages is also known as Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo is also known for his outstanding creations like The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and Vitruvian Men. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most successful man of his era. He could have been even more successful, but with the lack of Latin language a big barrier existed for him. Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in the republic of Florence, Italy and died on May 2, 1519. Leonardo da Vinci was,…

In the short time of 8 months after he arrived in Hobart and later on another offense this time of drunkenness, he was removed in December 1827 aboard the Prince Leopold to the secondary penal settlement at Macquarie Harbour. Details of Costantini’s life of this settlement are unclear. Stilwell supports that he was employed as a dispenser of medicines, and general assistant to the surgeon. Pearn notes that six surgeons served at Macquarie Harbour, a place where the extremely hard condition of…

According to the City of Savannah website, Savannah currently hosts 20 different homeless camps. Additionally, the statistics also show that the homeless population in Savannah fluctuates between 1,000 and 4,000 people (savannahga.gov). To say I was surprised by this information would be a lie. I see the face of the homeless population every time I go downtown. I see their faces at Forsyth Park on Sunday mornings, when they line up to get a meal. I see the Mother’s with their signs, begging for…

The Outsiders book and movie are both good but the book is better in my opinion. The book and movie are both the same in some ways but the movie goes by faster. The movie has some the things that it doesn't show like in the book. Although the I like the book the movie was great to. Both the book and movie show the church burn’s and them saving the kids. They're both similar but the movie doesn’t show…

Brunelleschi’s Dome The discovery I decided to research was about Filippo Brunelleschi and his famous dome. His discovery began in the early 1400’s, when the leaders of the town—Florence—decided that it was time to replace the roof on the cathedral. For centuries, the hole had been there, and bad weather was beginning to ruin parts of the exposed cathedral. So, they decided to hold a bit of a competition among all the artisans of Florence, offering a prize of 200 gold florins, for the best…

Experiencing Heritage Day was truly an inspirational and touching event that has changed my perspective of not only the people of the Lehigh Valley, but the community as a whole. Seeing the way that the less fortunate individuals of our population are treated for healthcare was eye-opening to say the least. The homeless of the Lehigh Valley are not provided with the clean and safe facilities that a majority of the general population has access to. The generous professionals and volunteers at…

Homeless people are often disrespected; under the age of six. In 2014 organizations identified 49,933…

Outsiders: Movie v. Book S.E. was in high school when she wrote the book the Outsiders . Also fun fact about the movie is the scripts were taken right out of the book. I would say that the book was more effective, and had a lot more details. The movie was good but I didn’t like how they skipped a few parts that were in the book. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the ( book ) was more effective in telling the story. First of all is the scene where the rumble…

The Breakdown of Family Being a teenager is hard. There is school, and most people do not understand how much work that teenagers do. Teenagers balance sports and homework and church. With school, due dates are all on the same day, and it feels like everything is crammed together. School takes away any time that teenagers might have to have fun. Teenagers also have to deal with their parents. Their parents and family often do not understand all that a teenager has to do. Parents are…

I love mob movies. One of my favorites being The Godfather. The first time I saw it, I was very young when I watched it with my mother. When the movie was over, my mom was talking about the actors, the performances, and how great the movie was. All I could think about was the message. The message in mob movies is equivalent to the message of human nature. It all starts off with love, loyalty, honor, and friendship. It always ends up with betrayal, murder, manipulation, and everyone ratting each…
