Martin Van Biuren Thesis

Based on my research of Martin Van Buren, I believe he succeeded in meeting the criteria of a good leader even though he was not the most popular President among the people of the United States. Not only was Van Buren a master politician, but he was also the person to create the union that later became the foundation of the Democratic Party. Before becoming the President, Van Buren served as President Andrew Jackson’s Secretary of State before becoming Jackson’s Vice President. After helping Jackson, he became the U.S. minister to Great Britain. Because of the many high positions he had throughout his life, he proved to the people of America that he was a good leader to later earn his position as the eighth President of the United States of America.

Though many associates the design of the chapel to Bruder Klaus’s life of living in a ravine or the oculus resembling the starburst referencing to the saint’s vision of womb, yet, Zumthor’s only vision is that of architecture. Nevertheless, all these interpretations make the piece even more interesting. Zumthor smiles. His sole intention is to create a place of solace, meditation and reflection. Quoting his words, “To me, buildings can have a beautiful silence that I associate with attributes such as composure, self-evidence, durability, presence and integrity, and with warmth and sensuousness as well; a building that is being itself, being a building, not representing anything, just being.”

Born in 1925 in Monroe, North Carolina, Robert F. Williams was the grandchild of former slaves who left home at an early age and ended up enlisted in the Marines. He returned home in 1955, founding and becoming President of Monroe’s chapter of the NAACP where he recruited the working class along with the unemployed to create an unprecedented chapter. “We ended up with a chapter that was unique in the whole NAACP because of working class composition and a leadership that was not middle class. Most important, we had a strong representation of returned veterans who were very militant and didn’t scare easy.” (In Memory of Robert F. Williams)

Imagine God was a Christian patron in the mid 1400s and God commissioned a painting capturing the scene of a virgin’s decent into the next life. How would a Northern Renaissance artist commemorate God’s vestal virgin’s last day on earth and ascension on to heaven without any references to the event? According to Maryan Ainsworth in her book Petrus Christus: Renaissance Master of Bruges “The Virgin’s death is not recounted in the Bible,” however, Jacobus de Voragine tells a story of an angel summoning the apostles to stand witness to the virgin’s departure to heaven in the Golden Legend (146). Following in the steps of Jan van Eyck, Petrus Christus Petrus Christus is a Bruges citizen and Netherland artist uses the Northern Renaissance technique

“I have not yet begun to fight.” are the words John Paul Jones said which changed, yet also, made history. Jones was a persistent man, and that lead to how everything changed. When asked by his enemies if he was ready to surrender the fight, John Paul refused and in the end, became victorious from the battle. If John Paul was not as determined and promising as he was before, history may have been different.

“Shmuel may well have opened his mouth to say something back, but Bruno never heard it… as the door at the front was suddenly closed and a loud metallic sound rang through from the outside” (Boyne 213). The Holocaust was a tragic event that happened all throughout Europe from 1933-1945. The Nazi’s would take Jews or any other person who could potentially hurt them and hold them captive. There were concentration camps that held these people. They were forced to work long hard days with little food and water.

Conversion does not mean a change of outward appearance; rather it requires a change of mind and results in a transformed life. – Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg is considered by many to be the first Protestant missionary to India, arriving in 1706 with the blessing of the king of Denmark. His work made such an impact in India that, even though he is not well-known here in the United States, he remains a beloved figure in Tamil Nadu. We can tell from the quote above that his preaching was not the ear-tickling kind, and that no doubt made him unpopular in certain “religious” circles. That hostility led to incredible amount of persecution, even from professing Christians.

Now, I want to present you in contrast the first Lied from Schönberg’s “Buch der hängenden Gärten”. It is disputed if the 15 poems Schönberg set continue the storyline of the previous poems from George’s cycle or if they are meant as an interlude projecting the speaker’s memories or dreams, or someone else’s experience. The first poem is the description of the garden. The speaker, perhaps a young prince or king, enters the garden first in the second poem, so the first poem just sets the mood.
