us, but we use our courage to overcome it. Love shows how much you care for someone. Every day people show love for each other. Whether it’s a simple “love you” from your parents before school or “have a great day”. In The Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum, the Lion showed courage by overcoming his fears and Dorothy showed love by caring for her friends and family. The Lion was a courageous character because he carried his friends over the ditch, tried to scare away the Kalidahs, and defeated…

The Villa Savoye is one of the most important modern buildings of the 20th century which incorporated the Le Corbusier’s five principal points of architecture, and it could be the perfect realization of Le Corbusier's principles.

different buildings more than 100 years apart in architecture. These buildings have both made it through history of architecture by two famous architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Joseph Paxton.

Frank Lloyd Wright More than any other modern architect, Frank Lloyd Wright is considered the master of the beautiful building. The pinnacle of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work is the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Wright was first known for his designs of houses and the allure of his living spaces is as compelling today, as it was when they were first created. Frank Lloyd Wright embraced modernism, but he brought it back to nature, he introduced the organic concept, and his houses seem to draw out…

The Wizard of Oz, when analyzed, reveals itself as an exceptionally well thought out film. The fact that literature critics consider it a better version than the original text should help illustrate that point. The use of screen elements (color, light, sound, mise en scene, etc.) coincide with the various twists and turns of the plot as Dorothy moves from Kansas, to Oz, and back again. When we are first introduced to Kansas, it appears entirely in black and white. From a modern perspective…

“Women are used to worrying over trifles” (Gaspell 1158). says Mr. Hale in Susan Glaspell’s 1916 play Trifles. By making this statement, he illustrations the frame of mind that spurs Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters into action, representing the feminism in the play’s time. As the play intertwined into Glaspell’s mind, America was challenging its opinions on women. Women were challenging woman’s suffrage as well as control over their own bodies through birth control (Womans Suffrage Movement…).…
