.... no hot spot or reflective element which is good because reflection here would be aesthetically displeasing. The lighting causes dark areas under the man’s eyes, which emphasize the passion and eventually the hatred of what he is talking about. The scene is lit so that the background is completely black, so that the only thing we can see is the man. Even though this is logically unrealistic, the stylistic decision to light in this manner is warranted, since this or any other good film draws heavily upon our expectations and imagination to convey a message or meaning. We as audience accept the unrealistic elements, if they assist in making the sto .....

.... the white status quo. Bound by rigid Jim Crow laws, the black view of life appeared bleak. Nonetheless, a period of increasing black civil rights was already underway. Paving the way for the entire revolution was Jack Roosevelt (Jackie) Robinson, the first black American to play major league baseball. Blacks had crept in America's national past time; more radical social changes were soon to come. Disenfranchised blacks finally found a leader dedicated to their cause in Harry S. Truman. After hearing of a lynching of black war veterans, Truman was suddenly tuned in to the heated crisis in the southland. Despite persistent tries to adv .....

.... in Article 3: Encouragement of Education. It was written that every town should reserve land “for the maintenance of public schools�, “ knowledge being necessary to good government, and the happiness of mankind , education shall forever be encouraged�. Article 3 however did not specify however if federal money would be given to the schools for use, nor did it specify if African-Americans could attend schools with whites' and although it the separation of church and state had been previously outlined, the Ordinance did not mention if it was ok to teach creationism in schools. These problems are still being debated on. (Northwest O .....

.... of rule "dictatorial" and "unconstitutional," it was the only effective way to get anything done (Simmons 142). In the beginning Lincoln's secretary of state, William H. Seward, clearly considered himself the President's superior, and blandly offered to assume the executive responsibility. He entered the cabinet with the thought of becoming the power behind the 2 Presidential chair and openly opposed Lincoln's control of the Union. This made Lincoln's position as Chief of State exceedingly difficult and hindered his communication and control of the military. As time passed, however, Seward recognized Lincoln's capabilities and gave him complete .....

.... wig, with two sidelocks and elaborate funerary jewelry of her era. Hennetawy's tomb is symmetric and relatively balanced out. There is use of foreshortening in her feet and face. One can tell that this work of art is Egyptian. Her arms are crossed, and her eyes enlarged in accordance with all Egyptian coffins. One might overlook that the whole coffin is engulfed in hiractic writing, soundly designating it as "Egyptian". Some lines of hiratic writing read, "Beginning of the instructions"(Coffin), which is the traditional opening formula for "didactic writings"(Coffin), reflecting its relationship in appearing Egyptian. The .....

.... three Cuban military bases were bombed by B-26 bombers. The airfields at Camp Libertad, San Antonio de los Ba¤os and Antonio Maceo airport at Santiago de Cuba were fired upon. Seven people were killed at Libertad and forty-seven people were killed at other sites on the island. Two of the B-26s left Cuba and flew to Miami, apparently to defect to the United States. The Cuban Revolutionary Council, the government in exile, in New York City released a statement saying that the bombings in Cuba were ". . . carried out by 'Cubans inside Cuba' who were 'in contact with' the top command of the Revolutionary Council . . . ." The New York Times re .....

.... of reach. This inaccessibility is due to the lack of certain advantages that Ben Carson received and possibly took for granted. One advantage that was critical in making Ben what he is today, was access to a good education. Ben was fortunate enough to have ended up in a high school where the teachers actually cared, and took interest in his studies. "Another influential person in my life was an English teacher named Mrs. Miller. She took a personal interest in me in ninth grade English and taught me a lot of extra things after class." (Pg.64 Gifted Hands) Ben also had the option of going to many different schools. If one school did not meet his intel .....

.... governed by a governor and council named by the king, and an elected assembly chosen by the people. Finally, the New England colonies wanted to establish the colony for religious motives, while the southern colonies were established for economic motives. England and the rebels of England (Pilgrims), made up the New England and southern colonies. "God Almighty in his most holy and wise providence hath so disposed of the condition of mankind, in all times some must be rich, some poor, some high and eminent in power and dignity, other mean and in subjection. Yet we must be knit together in this work as one man."(John Winthrop, A Model of Christian Cha .....

.... his cloak behind. Potiphar' Wife screamed for help saying that Joseph had attacked and tried to sleep with her. When her husband came home she told him the same false story. Potiphar was so angry at Joseph he had him locked up in Pharaoh's prison. "But while Joseph was in the prison, the Lord was with him." This is the subject matter for which Rembrandt choose to do his representational painting by. The content of the painting all reveals Rembrandt's interpretation of the story This is the account from the Bible of the accusation of Joseph by Potiphar's Wife. Rembrandt Van Ryn chose this particular story as the subject of his narrative painting com .....

.... the Canal Zone (the immediate area surrounding the Canal) are important areas used for trade. Even before the canal was built there were to large ports on both sides of the Isthmus. Large amounts of cargo passed through the Isthmus by a railroad that connected the two ports. The most important cargo was the gold mined in California before the transcontinental railroad was completed in the United States. It has strategic significance because of its location, acting as a gateway connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. This allows for rapid naval deployment between fleets in either ocean. These two facets make the Panama Canal very important .....
