.... him how to play the piano. Sometimes he put this knowledge to use and played at a few of the dance parties and weddings. After Duke's first job, he became more interested in painting and the arts. For a few years he painted public posters. Duke then decided to put together his own band. At this point in his life things started to change for the better for Duke, but not for long. In those days, this new music was just beginning to develop and would later be given the name of jazz. In that time it was considered to be low and vulgar because it was music that grew directly out of the Black culture. In those early years, segregation was at .....

.... first found employment at the age of 18 as a violinist in a court orchestra in Weimar. Soon after, he took a job as an organist at a church in Arnstadt (1703-1707). Here, as in later posts, his perfectionist tendencies and high expectations of other musicians – for example, the church choir – rubbed his colleagues the wrong way, and he was embroiled in a number of hot disputes during his short tenure. In 1707, at the age of 22, Bach became fed up with the lousy musical standards of Arnstadt (and the working conditions) and moved on the another organist job, this time at he St. Blasius Church in Muhlhausen (1707-1708). The .....

.... how approaches the honor of being archbishop of Canterbury. Once takes the dubbing of archbishop of Canterbury he vows to fulfill all religious actions that need to be taken. He devotes his life to religion. He wants to do the right things for the church and the kingdom, but Henry II does not like the fact that becomes a militant defender of the church against royal encroachment and a champion of the papal ideology of ecclesiastical supremacy over the lay world. The disagreement of each other's ideas triggers the collapse of their friendship. The obliteration of and Henry's friendship happened in many ways. When their ideas clas .....

.... of his period -- Herman Melville. His most popular book, The Scarlet Letter, earned Hawthorne international fame. He died in his sleep while on a walking tour in New Hampshire. The period of time during which Hawthorne wrote was the New England Renaissance in America. By the year 1840, it was clear that the American experiment in Democracy had succeeded. England, trying again to retake their old land in ‘The Second American War for Independence', was no longer a threat to the survival of the republic. Andrew Jackson, the first “people's president�, had served 2 terms in office. New states were entering the Union. One French obse .....

.... those of his home country of Germany, the Church found this as preposterous. Lucky for him, a number of German princes hid him in their abodes, protecting him from the Church when he refused to denounce the ninety-five theses he wrote on religion, challenging the ways of the Catholic Church. If it wasn't for this, Lutheranism, and even Protestantism itself, may have disappeared all together. Luther's social attitudes also differed greatly with the Catholic Church. Luther said that only the Bible, and not religious traditions and ceremonies and such, could determine correct religious practices and lead to salvation. This, obviously, wo .....

.... is. Ivan Ilyich felt real empathy and pity from peasant Gerasim and son Vasya. His moral misery was worse than physical. The result of this was that Ivan Ilyich in dying became the individual that he never was in his typical life. He understood that his notion about his decent and helpfulness was just illusion. He felt as if he were being squeezed down into a black hole and there at the bottom was light. This metaphor serves as image of physical death and spiritual rebirth. His death gave birth to new consciousness. He suddenly perceived that man's essential life belongs to the spirit and well-being is achieved through loving o .....

.... the years that there was no United States inventor as great as Franklin until the time of Thomas A. Edison (Blow 24). Franklin's words to a friend in Pennsylvania, Joseph Huey, best explain his attitude not only toward what he considered his civic duties, but also his investigations as a scientist or philosopher. He made some of the most famous and certainly the most practical discoveries of his time. "For my own part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look upon myself as conferring favours, but as paying debts. In my travels, and since my settlement, I have received much kindness from men, to whom I shall never have any oppor .....
