pieces to keep her career moving forward. Robert’s mental health took a dramatic turn for the worse several years into the marriage, and he was taken to a hospital. This took a toll on Clara’s emotional state as well, but her connections with musicians Joseph Joachim and Johannes Brahms provided her with support in this trying time. Joachim met Clara when she was twelve years old and their bond remained through the years. Clara herself said, “Joachim gives me the most pleasant hours here [in Berlin,] thanks both to his art and his friendly words,” both of which were a means of bonding and consolation when Robert was taken from her. The two’s lives became so intertwined, in fact, that they began to perform in joint concerts, where Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim performed their own pieces in the same venue. Brahms, another support system for Clara, trusted her very deeply.

Phlogiston theory The phlogiston theory states that the every combustible substance on this planet contains phlogiston. When a combustible substance is burned, phlogiston is released into the air. The people behind the phlogiston theory believed that the whenever a substance sets on fire, the fire gives off phlogiston. The phlogiston was believed be the kind of gas which causes fire.

After the movie, we ate dinner. Uncle Galway was less talkative than I remembered.…

The Use of Darkness in Characterization in “Heart of Darkness” Through Imperialism In many great works of literature, the use of darkness and insanity in characterization was often used in a fictional matter. However, there is nothing fictional about the darkness that had spread through Africa’s deepest roots as a result of imperialism. This alone had set the primal continent back several hundred years behind the rest of the world in terms of technology and development. Lacking an advanced…

The voice of the winner is the one who tells history, but often times there are many important perspectives that get left out. In Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness many such voices are forgotten and ignored. Most obviously the natives, but one particular group is swept even further to the side in this novel. That group is the feminine perspective. Throughout the novel there is an overall lack of appearance by women. When they are included in a scene their thoughts are hardly heard, and if they…
