Dorsey suggests that students are eager to create new enterprises so they can receive the title of founder. While these new enterprises may be successful, they are too limited to really make an impact on changing the cause. Without proper investment into a lager enterprise the smaller enterprise had less money to invest in making a larger scale transformation to a cause. Dorsey encourages those who want to be entrepreneurs to bring their creative knowledge to make innovations to preexisting…

In the novella, The Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad, Marlow recounts his tale of his adventures into the deepest part of the African continent. As a citizen of London, Marlow views Africa as a dark place as it differs from Europe physically and socially. Throughout Marlow’s tale in search of Mr. Kurtz, the author exemplifies the differences between a civilized society that is Europe and the savagery in the deepest parts of Africa. The continents of Europe and Africa are complete opposites.…

Franz Schubert was born on January 31, 1797, in Himmelpfortgrund near Vienna Austria. He was an Austrian composer. He himself wrote six hundred secular vocal works, seven complete symphonies, operas, sacred music and a large body of chamber and piano music. His appreciation was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna. Schubert’s father, Franz Theodor Schubert, was a school teacher; his mother was what we call a modern day “stay at home mom.” Franz had three older brothers…

Mohamed Hegy Ms. Thorne Music 1010 Hans Zimmer This paper will be about the famous German composer Hans Florian Zimmer. First I will talk about some basic info on his background.

and a feather hat, walking on his hind-legs" (Conrad 42). This man illustrates the possibility that the savages might be tamable because, "He ought to have been clapping his hands and stamping his feet In February 1977, Chinua Achebe claimed that Joseph Conrad’s novel, Heart of Darkness was proof that Conrad was a “bloody racist”. This claim, challenged by many over the years, has proven to be less than accurate. Truly, though it is a matter of opinion, Conrad’s use of stark diction, dark…

Summary- Zora Neale Hurston’s Barracoon is a truly unique and important story, hidden from public view for more than 70 years, and seeing the light of day only now. Barracoon tells the story of Kossula (Cudjo Lewis), a passenger on the last slave ship to sail to these shores, The Clotilde. The book tells his story, from birth to the moment of his interview, but mainly focuses on the parts of his life as a free man. Kossula was born in modern-day Benin, from the Yoruba tribe. His early life in…

The hero’s journey concept has transcended cultural barriers and engraved itself into the modern culture. It traditionally follows the transformation of the weak, and often cowardly youngster, into the knight in shining armor battling through trials and temptations to restore order in society. In Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner and J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the heroes embark on journeys that transform them from boys into heroes. However, each transformation does not follow the…

Feminist View: This story is drowning in imperialism as Marlow describe his “adventure” in Africa and the Company’s treatment of the country and the natives as the lust for both money and power (by any means necessary) has taken control of the invaders. Imperialism is largely a masculine enterprise. Women only further the men's agenda, particularly in the story: 1. Marlow's aunt uses her wealth and connections to land Marlow a job with the Company that sends him to the Congo. 2. Women ushered…

The topic that I have chosen to research about is the Holodomor Genocide. The Holodomor was a man-made famine in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic in 1932 and 1933 that killed an estimated 2.5 million to 7.5 million Ukrainians. Under the rule of Joseph Stalin, this was done to teach Ukraine’s independent farmers “a lesson they would not forget” for resisting collectivization. Which meant giving up their land and livestock to the state. People were dying at the rate of 30,000 per day and at least 4…
