The city traded with all countries, France, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and most importantly North Africa. The location of the port in the South West of England on the River Avon had made it a prime location for marine trade for many centuries. Control of all…

Atticus Finch v. Miss Caroline You would have a very difficult time finding two people who have similar goals to teaching but are so different it doesn’t even look like they’re on the same spectrum. But that’s just what you see when you look at Atticus Finch and Miss Caroline from To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. They are both teachers of a sort, with their own specific styles that do nothing but clash with each other. They also both have a lasting effect on the main character, Scout, and…

History is something that helps us prepare and learn for the future. We can come up with solutions to avoid a lot of the past stuff. In the novel Night by Elie Wiesel, he shares his traumatic experience.

Andrews tells the story of a man whose “credit limit had been lowered to $3,800 from $10,800” (552), because he had shopped at places where others who shopped there had a “poor repayment history with American Express” (553). What many people don’t realize is what they do online isn 't’ necessarily private. A school bus driver in Georgia wrote a post on his Facebook about “a student on his bus said he was denied lunch because he owed 40 cents”…

As time goes on and our knowledge of technology grows, so things will change. How we live will change. How we learn and grow and think will change. We live in the 21st century, we can’t be stuck in the past. It doesn’t matter how we, as a culture, used to do things. Technology has made things easier for us, whether some people like it or not. Without the technology we have today, we wouldn’t be able to treat diseases and disorders. People would die from small pox while we hang the autistic kid…

Art is based on influences and creative works, having the ability to visualize outside influences while manipulating them in the artist’s own imagination is truly stunning. Henri Matisse along with Pablo Picasso are few of many that could use that outside “influence” and depict it in a beautiful and subtle way. African sculptures and tribal masks caused a vast effect on both artists, and so each artist adopted the use of this non-Western art form in different ways. African art was introduced to…

A woman’s silhouette is seen through barred frosted windows. The camera cuts to a surveillance camera and zooms out to reveal that woman in a skin colored bodysuit stretched out on a moss green sofa like a marble sculpture. She appears to have no contact with the world outside except through the intercom and dumbwaiter. Her room is populated by reproductions of Louise Bourgeois’ fabric works created by ripping apart the dresses in her closet that she refuses to wear, and covered by texts that…
