Americans, but is it practical? In this paper, I will be arguing on the impracticality of American exceptionalism. I will discuss how the United States’ “empire of bases” (global military presence) does not make us safer, is not conducive to world peace, and is not worth its economic and human costs. I will also offer a better alternative to the situation. My arguments will be supported…

A Woman’s Worth As I read Aristophanes’ Lyristrata, I wondered if he wrote this to unveil his true feelings about the Peloponnese war that was taking place. It would be easy to mask his feelings about ending the war behind a comedic satire about women and power. It would take the burden off of him as coming off too soft or not masculine enough because he wanted the ear to end. Lyristata is about the Peloponnese war and the effect it has on both the men and women of Greece. Lyristrata is the…

Yousafzai uses pathos…

Music Description Langsam . Schleppend (Slowly, dragging) The first movement was in modified sonata form and started off with strings playing harmonics creating a ghostly scene and then the woodwinds play a rhythm pattern. As the piece goes on, it is obvious that Mahler is trying to recreate a nature scene in his first movement. To match the dark setting that started the movement is little bits of music that poke out. An example would be, throughout the sluggish melody an awaking would call…

Formally, the first movement of the Quintet is of considerable interest. The interest is generated not by a problem in determining the overall form, for that is clearly sonata form. Rather, it is in determining the exact location of the main sections and subsections within the sonata form. The sections which will most concern our discussion are the introductions, the exposition and the developmental section. I say introductions as plural as it appears actually be two sections of music. These two…

In a story filled to the brim with twisting, endless greens and stark, crude whites, one begins to wonder how many pages can be spent describing scenery. While over-embellished scenery can be abused, John Knowles, in his classic novel, A Separate Peace, utilizes the aspect of setting and surroundings to their utmost potential. This novel strives on contrast. Things are either black or white, or rather green or white. Green is symbolic for the students’ boyish attitudes. It represents…
