It changed the perspective of life and defined roles in the society. All the literatures that were written and the scientific experiments through observations and performance have proven to expand the cultural beliefs of enlightenment and changed how humanity should be define by.

In opera, the composer is the dramatist. In opera the music interprets, crystallizes, and intensifies the expressive meaning of the words, far beyond anything with the words alone are capable of (Greenberg, 2009, L11, 8:35).

Law of Detachment If a⇒b is a true conditional statement and a is true, then b is true. Example 3.16: If ∠A and ∠B are…

observe irregularities in Uranus’ orbit, suggesting that this may be due to another celestial body. Johann Galle (a German astronomer), through the use of subsequent calculations, led to locating Neptune with a telescope. It is believed that Galileo Galilei had previously sketched the planet, but had mistaken it for a star because of its very slow movement.…
