Words: 2516 - Pages: 10.... blood line out of Albany, NY. Melville's grandfather, General
Peter Gansevoort, was a hero. Even though the General died six years before
Melville was born, Melville still put him in his book, Pierre.
On the outer side of the blood line there was Major Melville. The Major
was a wealthy Boston merchant who was one of the famous "Mohawks" who boarded
the ship of the East India Company that night of 1773, and dumped the cargo in

lines fitted together perfectly to create Herma .....

Words: 2488 - Pages: 10.... box office receipts. The violence of his films speak
a universal language, ensuring that international markets are ripe
prospects. His identification with young children, politics,
bodybuilding/fitness enthusiasts, hollywood, and most importantly, an
inseparable bond with the American Dream make a superstar of the man who is
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Born in the tiny village of Thal-By-Graz , Austria, young Arnold

Michelangeo - Renaissance Man
Words: 1676 - Pages: 7.... recognized his intelligence and sent him to the school of a master, who taught grammar. His mind however, was on art not his studies. Painters and sculptors at work fascinated Michelangelo. He made friends with a student who encouraged him to follow his own artistic vocation. When Michelangelo was thirteen, his father was a minor Florentine official with connections to the Medici family. At this time his father reluctantly agreed to apprentice him to the city's most prominent painters, the Ghirlandajo brothers (Compton's, 1998). Unsatisfied, because the brothers refused to teach him their art secrets, he played hooky and discovered the .....

Saint John Bosco
Words: 632 - Pages: 3.... and homeless. He rented an old barn in a field which he called "The Oratory." This was the first of many oratories John Bosco founded for helping poor boys who needed a home. He believed that prayer and Holy Mass and Communion and confession are the best ways for children to attain a sense of personal responsibility.
In a short time, other priests joined him in his work and by 1852 they were caring for over 600 boys. John dealt with them by using a minimum of restraint and discipline, lots of love, keeping careful watch over their development and encouraging them personally and through religion.
John's preaching and writing, as well as th .....

Ralph Waldo Emerson: Good Influence Or Bad Influence
Words: 503 - Pages: 2.... as it was in the 19th century. Some people might say that it would go against the church but there would be many people that believe in it.
Another of Emerson's ideas is that of the oversoul. The oversoul is Emerson's name for God. He sees God as an entity and inside it is the world, as we know it including humans, animals and everything that exists. This leads to further prove that we are divine, seeing as we are part of God and God is divine. Again this thought was very criticized because God was always thought to be a separate entity and Emerson suggests that we are part of him. Again this causes a lot of controversy and these .....

Thomas Hardy
Words: 1660 - Pages: 7.... his father was a man of character also. Even though he didn’t ‘ possess the art of enriching himself by business,’ he was a fine craftsman, and a lover of music. Hardy’s family was never poor and he summed up his happy childhood in a tiny lyric:
She sat here in her chair,
smiling into the fire;
He who played stood there,
2
Bowing it higher and higher.
Childlike, I danced in a dream;
Blessings emblazoned that day;
Everything glowed with a gleam;
Yet we were looking away!
As a young child, Hardy mastere .....

Louise Brooks

is embraced as an icon, and ignored as an artist. She is one of the most striking and original film actresses of time. She has something “modern” and timeless about her image and attitude that all attempts to acknowledge her as just another representative of the Roaring 20’s are doomed. The motion picture camera renders her dreamlike; her spirit injects dark blood and ivory flesh into and onto the shadowy image. Onscreen, she is, she lives a merciless, innocent creature, frankly carnal yet whimsically childlike. She is the conscience of a murderer and the expr .....

Although the "great fat fellow", out of fear, gave the gold, which he used to return to his land, it was O-lan's ingenuity in searching out the jewels that made a wealthy man. With these jewels, bought much
land from the Great House and he also hired numerous men to work this new land.
In his later years, Wang Lung became conceited and egotistical. He believed that he had achieved his wealth and prosperity alone and that he was extremely deserving of it all. H .....
