The Young Martyr Analysis

“Nothing endures, not a tree, not love, not even death by violence” (Knowles 14). John Knowles famous quote in his work A Separate Peace does more than leave a lasting memory. Set in the New England preparatory school Devon, the novel focuses primarily on the relationship between Gene and Phineas. Knowles uses foreshadowing, especially in the first chapters to answer questions about the relationship Gene and Finny have. Those moments answer questions about their bond that are left hanging at the end of the novel.

The Young Lords Movement is national movement that allowed Bodega to obtain the favor of Spanish Harlem easily because of its failures. The Young Lords movement was a Puerto Rican civil rights movement in the 1960’s that implemented violence to obtain recognition and equality as Puerto Ricans and better living conditions within their communities in New York and Chicago. As the Young Lords Party, the branch in New York, became increasingly involved in using armed movements and guerrilla tactics to make a stance in America, they ultimately reached their downfall. The new movement that Bodega inspires,

The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on July 28, 1868. The amendment granted citizenship to everyone who was born or naturalized in the United States, which included former slaves and African Americans who were freed after the Civil War. Also, the amendment allowed African Americans to be treated equally as all other citizens. However, the Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws, and the result of the Plessy v. Ferguson case took away these rights that were guaranteed to African Americans.

Before we look at the different Social/Psychological Determinants of Health it is important firstly to define what a social determinant of health is. According to the World Health Organization (2017) “The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.” These conditions are as a result of a wide range of factors that are ultimately governed by the way in which money, power and specific resources are shared at different levels including those at global, national and local levels. We have all been a part of and will experience different social determinants of health throughout our lives but it is the standard at which we experience these determinants that will ultimately lead onto them affecting our health or ultimately leaving us unaffected.

It was also a time of culture where dance, theatre and imperialism art began to get popular (Ballet). The arts were becoming more accessible to the middle class members of society rather than specifically for royalty (National Gallery of Art, Washington France in the Nineteenth Century). The text shows the rise of popularity in both ballet and imperialism art through the characters professions and showed resistance against the movement. The art of imperialism was looked down upon and often scoffed on as many deemed it simple and worthless as proven through the multiple low-key exhibits in the book (National). Those in power, constant shifts between the Royalists, the Republicans and the Bonapartists, all seemed to dislike the new form of art but because of the unstable fight for power, rarely did the Parisians listen to them and instead the power shifted to the military and high ranked religious leaders as evident in the book (France History - French Third Republic). The history of France has greatly contributed to the storyline and helped shape the story to challenge the popular

Bioko Island is the home to several endangered primates, due to the illegal hunting and the selling of bushmeat (Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program). Bioko Island is part of the African country of Equatorial Guinea (Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program). The island is located 20 miles off the coast of Cameroon, and it is primarily intact forest areas with a few small villages, furthermore, the capital of Bioko alone, contains a population of nearly 100,000 residents (Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program). Despite their intact forest areas, several primate species are endangered, and other animal species are becoming vulnerable to becoming endangered. This is due to the illegal hunting of wildlife—bushmeat. The

I visited the Arkansas Art Museum on October 20, 2015. The title of the exhibit was called, “Dos Mujeres,” otherwise known in English as Two Women. This artwork was created by Diego Rivera who was from Mexico. This was a piece of art that portrays cubism and was huge; 77 ¾ x 63 ½ to be exact. The painting had one women on the left, sitting down with a book in her and and the other on the right standing up. This artwork was created in 1914 and the medium was oil on canvas. The name of the gallery was called the Winthrop Rockefeller Gallery. This gallery was located towards the back of the museum. I didn’t know which exhibit to choose because there were a variety of beautiful pieces but I chose this one because it was one of my favorites. The

Stokely Carmichael began the Black Power Movement with his efforts in Lowndes County, Alabama. It was this initial effort that I believe caused for “Black Power” to become a national phenomenon. By becoming a national phenomenon, it inspired most organizations that came after. Many of the programs that came after also followed similar guidelines as Black Power. Shortly after Carmichael's time in Alabama, he began to travel the nation spreading the motive of Black Power and how Black Americans should go about achieving this Power. This is why I believe that Carmichael is the true founder of the Black Power Movement. Some scholars argue that Malcolm X was the catalyst that surged the Black Power movement. Though Malcolm played a pivotal role in creating

There is no doubt that in the country we have a serious problem. People die every day because of it; over 30,000 lives a year are terminated because of it. The problem I’m referring to is guns, the misuse of guns, and the slaughter of the innocent with guns. But where is the real problem here? Is it solely just the gun? Or is it the person puling the trigger? My objective is to explain a resolution to gun violence. Because I feel we don’t have a firearm problem, but rather a violent human problem. So ask yourself, are you safer with or with out a gun?

The new Enlightenment era had on impact on the arts and music and its style. The artwork during this time went from very soft pastel paintings of the rich who wasted their life away doing nothing, to contrast dark paintings of intellectual scenes that encouraged education to the people. The

Brooke Camardelle Art History 1441 April 15,2015 Jean-François Millet The Gleaners, 1857, oil on canvas Jean-François Millet was born on October 4, 1814 in Normandy to Jean-Louis-Nicolas and Aimée-Henriette-Adélaïde Henry Millet.

This painting from, Jacques-Louis David who expressed passion and a very personal connection to his subject in Neoclassical paintings like Oath of the Horatii and Death of Marat but this painting emerged as a work in the romanticism age. David’s work showed early style of French romanticism. Later on other painters would later develop this style as what it became.

At UCLA, John Cage composed music for several choreographies, and incorporated for the first time non-musical elements in his compositions, ranging from kitchen utensils, to metal sheets, and household objects. The following year, in 1938, he moved to Seattle, Washington, and worked at the Cornish School of the Arts as a composer and dance accompanist. He experimented works with dance, and collaborated with the choreographer and dancer Merce Cunningham. At that time, he made several breakthrough discoveries, and effectively emerged as a professional composer (Jarrad Powell). He innovated with materials, methods, structures, and sounds, and included noises that were considered “unmusical”. He founded “Avant-Garde” percussion ensembles for his

Testament of Youth is a movie in the form of a historical memoir, in which the protagonist Vera Brittain experiences and describes the traumatic events of World War I. This movie gives a personal perspective of life during the early 1900s, displaying the transition from pre war to the war and the horror of being at home or involved in the battle. Watching this movie provided a much different way of retaining information than learning about it in class or from a textbook. After watching this movie, I recognized that the movie both confirmed and refuted some of what we learned in class, that the style of a first-person narrative can have a major effect on my reception of the information, and that a film production of a written memoir can be
