...Far & Away by Ron Howard, 1992 Summary: The film takes place in Ireland in the 1890’s. The main character is a young farmer named Joseph Donnelly. Joseph is angry with his landlord Daniel Christie who had the Donnellys’ farm burned down due to the lack of rental. He goes to the Christie family’s estate with the intention of killing his landlord. Here he meets the beautiful daughter Shannon Christie. She is dissatisfied with the “old way of living” she is with her parents and longs after a modern lifestyle. With Joseph facing eviction and Shannon longing for a modern world, they run away towards America together. They start in Boston where they struggle and work hard to live and save money. Joseph works as a barehanded boxer, which brings him lots of positive attention, but when he is beaten their money is taken away and they are left homeless on the streets, while they are dreaming of owning their own land. When Shannon later gets reunited with her family they go separate ways. At last they meet again at the Oklahoma race in 1893 and conquer their own land together. Review: Far & Away is both historical and humorous and contains a lot of American values. We are given a clear picture of how “The new world” was appealing to European citizens and how the shaping of America took place. When Joseph and Shannon first arrive at Boston, they have nothing and they have no other solution than to start working their way up. This is a good example on the strong American belief...

Walt signed the will at Len’s office, and at Walt’s request, Len and Walt’s son, Ben, signed as witnesses in the presence of Walt and each other after Walt acknowledged that the document was his will. In 2000, Walt duly executed a new will which expressly revoked any and all wills previously made by him. In 2001, Walt decided that he did not like the terms of the 2000 will and physically destroyed it by his own hand. Walt died last year, survived by Amy, Ben, Cal, and Dave. Dave is Walt’s only grandson and is the son of Walt’s deceased son, Ed. The 1995 will has been admitted to probate over the objections of Cal that the 1995 will had not been properly executed and that, in any event, it had been revoked. Walt’s residence has been valued at $300,000, and his 100 shares of C Corp. have been valued at $200,000.

...Denise Weinman The arts of the Renaissance era were highly inspired from the new way people were thinking of themselves, their surroundings and their religion.“Renaissance,” defined as “rebirth,” represented European culture from about fourteen hundred to the mid sixteenth century. It is largely credited to the literature and philosophy of Ancient Greece and Rome that inspired new interest in art and sculpture with respect to the individual and with the natural world. Art took a complete shift away from religion as individuals were inspired to understand what it really meant and looked like to be human. Seventeenth century Baroque artwork came about largely from the effort of the papacy to evoke intense emotion in magnifying and glorifying the Catholic religion. It is because of the majority patronage of arts by the papal courts that most works once again began to focus around religion in all of its grandeur. The early nineteenth century became known as the romantic era, a time of heightened political influence and industrialization. The Romantics were a group of writers, artists, composers, and thinkers, that challenged these influences to say that the human feels, as in emotion, before thinking, that the heart was just as important as the head and emphasized the emotion in individuals by focusing on the beauty of nature, the power of love, the world of dreams, the exotic, the mysterious and the strange. With the focus on natural goodness and empathy for the oppressed, it...

...Qihui Zheng 01/28/2011 EH205 Essay 2 When and why did London grow so much faster than other early modern capitals? By examine the key differences among Paris, Madrid, and London, I argue that from1650 to1750, the reason why London boosted in terms of demographic expansion and market integrations is that -- instead of creating market disorder by demanding cheap supply of goods from other places, emphasizing social privileges and over consumptions, London attracted spontaneous business exchange in market among different groups of people. In section I, by doing a brief literature review on E. A. Wrigley, D. R. Ringrose and other important authors, we may have a basic understanding of the demand and supply market mechanism and its relationship with population, internal market and functions of capitals. In section II, we will analyze how the functions of capital, such as exercising political power to satisfy a particular interest, can affect the demand and supply of market and demographic composition. In section III, we study further how the functions of capital such as price determination can change the economic development of the capital itself and its surrounding industrial and agricultural areas. At the end, we should see that London did a better job integrating the urban-rural market during 1650-1750. Literature Review From 1650 to 1750, London grew much faster than other continental capital cities. There is little debate on the time as shown in table 1 and 2 below...

The third estate was extremely unhappy with the way they were being treated; many were left with little food and a low income yet had to pay extremely high taxes. The second and third estates had special privileges like not having to pay taxes and getting rewarded with a share of the peasant’s harvest. In addition, the Nobles lived in the Palace of Versailles with the king and got payed. Whilst the second and first estates were being rewarded for the little actions they had done, the third estate was being punished for working very hard and trying to provide for themselves.

...Revolutionaries are people who engage in political revolutions. The French third estate would be greatly satisfied with modern day France because France modern day is now a Republic for about 66 million citizens and a republic system offers the citizen the basic rights that the Third estate always wanted. Most of the original revolutionaries goals have been achieved by France now. In the 18th and 19th centuries, France was under three Estates; First, Second and Third. The Third Estate despised the First and Second Estate because the Third Estate were treated unjustly. This injustice spread like wildfire in the Third-Estate. France was led under a monarchy ruled by Louis XVI. The monarchy was very much corrupt because the King and Queen would...

...period of radical social and political upheaval in France that had a fundamental impact on French history and on modern history more broadly. The absolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed within three years. French society underwent an epic transformation, as feudal, aristocratic and religious privileges evaporated under a sustained assault from radical left-wing political groups, masses on the streets, and peasants in the countryside.[1] Old ideas about tradition and hierarchy regarding monarchs, aristocrats, and the Catholic Church were abruptly overthrown by new principles of Liberté, égalité, fraternité (liberty, equality and fraternity). The royal houses across Europe were horrified and led a countercrusade that by 1814 had restored the old monarchy, but many major reforms became permanent. So too did antagonisms between the supporters and enemies of the Revolution, who fought politically over the next two centuries. Amidst a fiscal crisis, the common people of France were increasingly angered by the incompetency of King Louis XVI and the continued indifference and decadence of the aristocracy. This resentment, coupled with burgeoning Enlightenment ideals, fueled radical sentiments, and the French Revolution began in 1789 with the convocation of the Estates-General in May. The first year of the Revolution saw members of the Third Estate proclaiming the Tennis Court Oath in June, the assault on the Bastille in July, the passage of the Declaration of...
