Leopold Stokowski

have been many animated movies that were very popular during the 1940’s and 50’s. Some are still watched and have been recreated in today’s times: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and Dumbo. Although not the first animated movie to be created, Fantasia (1940) was the first movie to connect classical music with animations. Directed by James Algar and released in 1940, this movie was the first of its kind, using classical music and creating scenes with animations around that music or vice versa. This movie contains eight musical segments all narrated by Deems Taylor with different music and animations like Mickey Mouse, fairies, flowers, dinosaurs, figures from mythology, animals, and spirits for each of the scenes. As Leopold Stokowski conducts the Philadelphia Orchestra, viewers are taken into another world as they watch the magical animations come to life by the magical music. What are the qualities that create a memorable film? It starts with a great idea and even greater producers and directors to fulfill the vision from that first idea. Fantasia was based off of one of the scenes in the movie called The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, which was created to make Mickey Mouse popular after a decline in his popularity. After that short was created, Disney decided to create a film with other animated segments like The Sorcerer’s Apprentice other pieces of classical music. “Fantasia is so utterly memorable and special partly because it fundamentally could not exist…

“Case Against Free Will” - Protocol Paper 4 RECALL: In “The Case against Free Will” by Rachels question; 1) Are we really responsible for what we do.; 2) Does “Free Will or Free Choice,” effect our behavior. Rachels claim “Since we are a part of nature, whatever happens inside us follows the laws of nature.”; 3) The case of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, who murdered a boy named Bobby Franks, is used as an example to support their claim; 4) Clarence Darrow, the defense lawyer for Leopold and…

exploitative way. This again goes in line with Berry’s idea that us as a human race doesn’t need much, that we could get almost anything from just a local area. Which also goes along the lines of the 100 mile diet that we talked about in class. It is mostly possible to do, and only certain populations would need help from the outside area. Stegner uses a large amount of references throughout the piece, which makes his writings much more enjoyable and more believable. I did have to look many of…

philosopher that provided a view of the relationship between the people and the land is Aldo Leopold. Leopold expresses that the land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land. (Book 223) Per the article, “A land ethic of course cannot prevent the alteration, management, and use of these ‘resources,’ but it does affirm their right to continued existence, and, at least in spots, their continued existence in a…

and constantly interrogating them, hoping for a confession from either one. Richard Loeb sheds a tear and confesses that he was behind the murder of Bobby Franks, but also states that it was Nathan’s idea for the killing and he manipulated him to help him do the murder. Robert Crowe immediately talked to Nathan about the Richard’s confession. Nathan couldn’t believe at first but when Crowe opened up, Nathan was angry that Richard confessed and blamed for the murder. Nathan too confessed by…

Chloroform was accidently exposed by Dr James Simpson and two other colleagues, during which the scientist’s mistakenly inhaled chloroform with the impact of the drug leaving them lying on the floor without any recollection of the events (Poovey, 1986). Because of Snow’s use of chloroform throughout November caused an argument to arise about the nature of labour and the mastering of women, however enthusiasm decreased after Queen Victoria was administered chloroform for the deliveries of her…

For my second article, of assignment two, I chose “Disease and Death at Dr. Dickson’s Mounds” by Alan H. Goodman and George J. Armelagos, and the article from the Bradford Foundation I am comparing it to is “The Cochimi Culture on the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico.” I found it fascinating that both articles talked of disease and death but both came from completely opposite reasons. What I mean by that is that the artifacts show that the people of Dickson Mounds came from being farmers and…

John Coverly. In this speech Darrow implies that two boys, Nathan Leopold, age 19 and Richard Loeb, age 18 should not get the death penalty for the murder of Bobby Franks. Darrow cleverly argues his point that the boys were taught that human was cheap due to war and inhumane emotions and also argues against inhuman methods and punishments of the American justice system. Though the boys are indeed guilty of the crime they committed, Darrow believes that their lives can still be saved. He…

William F. Baxter and Aldo Leopold both have very different views as to what it means to be human and where our place in the world is compared to other animals, plants, and the very land itself. Very briefly, Baxter argues that any form of environmental problems should be viewed solely through the understanding that it is “people-oriented” and that any animal or land preservation would be understood in this light and not, as some threatened penguins would fear, “for their own sake” (Baxter,…

It was the crime of the century in the 1920’s, it was committed by two wealthy college men, Nathan Freudenthal Leopold, Jr. and Richard Albert Lobe. They wanted to prove that they were smart enough to get away with murder. They said it would be the perfect crime and went on to perform the crime for the thrill of it, “To kidnap a child would be an act of daring—and no one, Loeb proclaimed, would ever know who had accomplished it.” (Baatz 1). It was indeed not the “perfect crime” they imagined. On…
