...Genuine Throughout the book, The Catcher In The Rye written by J.D. Salinger, the main character Holding, is Genuine. To start off with, on page 62 he says, “I think if you don’t really like a girl, you shouldn’t horse around with her at all.” This is showing that he cares about girls and their feelings. He is not the type of guy to play a girl and actually takes them into consideration, along with their emotions. Not many guys would do this. They would just want to do things and move onto the next girl. But Holden actually cares. Secondly on page 74 he says, “I was sorry as hell I’d kidded her. Some people you shouldn’t kid, even if they deserve it.” By him saying this, it was genuine because he realized he should not have kidded her and that people do not deserve that. I think it made him realize that if someone did that to him he would not have liked it. It was very superior of him to say. Lastly, on page 77 he said, “She was the only one outside of my family, that I ever showed Allie’s baseball mitt to.” This must have been very difficult for him to do, since he had not shown any friends the mitt, but he showed Jane. Just by him showing the mitt to Jane was a genuine thing because it meant that she meant a lot to him and that he could open up with her about certain things he cannot with his...

...Highlander in the French-Indian War In 1745 the Jacobite Rebels failed in a revolt as they rose against their English rulers. As a result the rebels and all those believe to be rebels were imprisoned or execute. In 1755 the British and American army lead by General Braddock set off on an expedition to take Fort Duquesne from the French. Several miles away from the fort the Anglo-American army was ambushed by a French and Indian force. This massacre sent shockwaves back to the British soil. The British army was already stretched across the world and did not have the man power to fight and win the war in America against the French and protect the other possessions in the empire. The British royals realized that there was a great solution to this problem. They could send Scottish troops to fight in America in place of British troops. Not only did this remove the threat of another uprising it improved relation with their Scottish counterparts as they provided needed jobs for the worsening economy. Mass recruiting for the first highland regiment bound for America started at the beginning of 1756. They accomplished this by putting up bulletins up all throughout Scotland and the promise of being allowed to use Highland weapons to kill the King’s enemies was enticing for many. (Highlander 10) As a result of the uprising the Highlander clans were forbidden to wear their full plaids or carry weapons under the Prosecution Act. As stated in the book, “only in the king’s service would they...

...LUSINE MIRZOYAN BRITISH NATIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS 1. BAGPIPES – Though bagpipes are closely associated with Scotland and only Scotland by many outsiders, the instrument ( or, more precisely, family of instruments) is found throughout large swathes of Europe, North Africa and South Asia. Out of the many varieties of Scottish bagpipes, the most common in modern days is the Highlands variety, which was spread through its use by the Highland regiments of the British Army. Bagpipes are a class of musical instrument, aerophones using enclosed reeds fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a bag. The term is equally correct in the singular or plural, although in the English language, pipers most commonly talk of “pipes”. 2. FIDDLE (VIOLIN) – Any violin may be informally called a fiddle, regardless of the kind of music being played with it, it is considered to be the predecessor of today’s violin. The instrument arrived late in the 17th century, and is first mentioned in 1680 in a document from Newbattle Abbey in Midlothian, Lessones For Ye Violin. Like the violin, it tended to have four strings, but came in a variety of shapes and sizes. Another family of instruments which contributed to the development of the modern fiddle are the viols, which are held between the legs and played vertically, and have fretted fingerboards. 3. GUITAR – The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles...

...Music Appreciation 10 8 FEB 2013 The Harp: Classically Ancient From religious rituals to pure entertainment, the harp has captivated many with its beautiful sound and unusual structure and mechanics. With its rich history, the harp is one of the oldest musical instruments known to man. As noted in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, the earliest documentation on the harp dates back to the “3rd millennium BCE in the Middle East and Egypt” (882). From this period on, the harp has evolved tremendously. Whether it is the shape, size or type of material used, the harp has endured many changes. The earliest form was the arched harp. It was bow-like in shape, which leads many to believe the harp was invented based on the structure of an ancient weapon, the bow and arrow. One most likely realized the string on their bow made a sound when plucked and so they created an instrument with more strings to create different pitches. The rest is history. The earliest type of harp was arched, known as an ‘open’ harp, which made way to the ‘framed’ harp. The framed harp did not become in existence until the Middle Ages. It was stated in the work of Roslyn Rensch, The Harp: From Tara’s Hall to the American Schools, “the [open] harp of ancient civilizations lacked the column, or fore-pillar, that is an important part as we know it [today]” (4). As Rensch has pointed out, the open harp only consisted of a body and neck, between which were strung various lengths of gut,...

...RLTT Task 1 The healthcare industry in today’s day and age has become an ecosystem of its own with the development of different technology combined with modern day medicine. These technological advances in medicine and machines have allowed the world to diagnose and treat billions of individuals across the world. The problem associated with care of a patient is the monetary factor in helping the needy or people without insurance. One of the hardest things for any parent to watch is for their own child to suffer and not be able to have them treated and cared for. The organization in discussion today will be Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas for children. This is an organization that is doing great things for families and children that cannot afford life saving care for children regardless of the ability to pay or carry a health insurance policy. Changes in current economic times and different health care reforms will soon change for this hospital on how it cares for children with technology and billing in the future. A. In the past 91 years of operation this hospital has never turned a child away because of the families in ability to pay. Since 1921 this hospital has grown and opened other locations all across the United States with the same promise to help children with disabilities that plagued the country with Polio. Funding from a group of individuals known as the Masons was able to help children in need with disabilities from Polio and other muscular diseases. At...

...Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish-born American scientist who was best known as the inventor of the telephone. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and his parents were Alexander Melville Bell and Eliza Grace Symonds. His mother was almost deaf, and his father taught elocution to the deaf, which influenced Alexander’s later career choice as a teacher for the deaf. At age 11, he entered the Royal High School at Edinburgh, but he did not enjoy the curriculum he was being taught, so he left school at age 15 without graduating. In 1865 his family moved to London and Bell passed the entrance examinations for University College London in June 1868 and enrolled there. However, he was not able to complete his studies because the Bell family moved...

...The fast food industry has become a common part of life in most cultures around the world today. With America being the key element to the industries birth we see today how it flourished from a handful of hot dog and hamburger stands in southern California to being prevalent in every day life for people all over the country and in many other countries. For example the short span of the fast food industry has changed so much in recent 3 decades that “In 1970, Americans spent around $6 billion dollars on fast food; in 2000, they spent more than $110 billion.” (Schlosser, E. p.1) It is for this reason, a rapid increase with reference to diversity of fast food restaurants occurred in the U.S. One of the restaurants to come into play and benefit from the huge increase in popularity was Taco Bell. A potential new market for Taco Bell could be in Scotland. Currently there are only 4 choices of fast food restaurant in Scotland; these are McDonalds, Burger King, Subway and KFC. As these restaurants have been very successful in Scotland we can assume more could be just as successful. With a population of roughly five million Scotland is a large country by any means, however the success of other fast food chains gives the impression that it is a strategy that could work. This could particularly be effective due to Scotland’s lack of Mexican restaurants in general. Currently there is really only one Mexican Chain restaurant in Scotland which is Chiquitos; and even Chiquitos is closer...

...Romanticism (literature), a movement in the literature of virtually every country of Europe, the United States, and Latin America that lasted from about 1750 to about 1870, characterized by reliance on the imagination and subjectivity of approach, freedom of thought and expression, and an idealization of nature. The term romantic first appeared in 18th-century English and originally meant “romancelike”—that is, resembling the fanciful character of medieval romances. II ORIGINS AND INSPIRATION By the late 18th century in France and Germany, literary taste began to turn from classical and neoclassical conventions (see Classic, Classical, and Classicism). Inspiration for the romantic approach initially came from two great shapers of thought, French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau and German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. A The Romantic Spirit Rousseau established the cult of the individual and championed the freedom of the human spirit; his famous announcement was “I felt before I thought.” Goethe and his compatriots, philosopher and critic Johann Gottfried von Herder and historian Justus Möser, provided more formal precepts and collaborated on a group of essays entitled Von deutscher Art und Kunst (Of German Style and Art, 1773). In this work the authors extolled the romantic spirit as manifested in German folk songs, Gothic architecture, and the plays of English playwright William Shakespeare. Goethe sought to imitate Shakespeare's free and untrammeled style...

...Indeed, it embodies the genre’s reaction against contemporary, overly complex rock music with its simplicity and focus on vocal delivery. The introduction begins with a distorted electric guitar riff, which is then joined by a driving rhythm from the drums after two measures with a heavy kick drum on the 1 and 3 counts of each measure, with a snare drum playing on the 2 and 4 counts of each measure. The bass guitar enters after another two measures, and that concludes the ensemble for the rest of the song. The instruments combine to produce a medium tempo beat with a dark, coarse output, which is entirely appropriate considering the skeptical and disgruntled nature of the...

...The geography of the UK. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles in the north west of Europe and is separated from the mainland by the English Channel and the Strait of Dover. Also the country is washed by the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The coastline is deeply indented and it gives a good supply of splendid harbours for ships. In the north you can find the Cheviots separating England from Scotland, the Pennines going down England like a backbone and the Cambrian Mountains which occupy the greatest part of Wales. The highest peak is Ben Nevis which is situated in the Highlands of Scotland. The south-eastern part of England is a low-lying land with gentle hills and a coast which is regular in outline with occasional chalk cliffs. The rivers in Britain are of little value as waterways. The longest are the Severn, the Thames, the Clyde and the Bristol Avon. There are a lot of lakes in the UK for example in the Lake District in the northern part of England but the most famous lake is Loch Ness in Scotland. Great Britain is rich in coal, iron ore and oil. Such crops as wheat, sugar-beet, potatoes and others are grown in this country. The main cities are London, Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. The geography of the USA. The United States of America is the fourth largest country in the world after Russia, China and Canada. It occupies the southern...

...were George (born Georg) (April 28, 1752 – December 1813), Henry (born Heinrich) (1754–1833), and Melchior (1759–?). Astor's career began in Germany, where he worked as an assistant in his father's business, as a dairy salesman. In 1779, at age 16, he moved to London, where he anglicized his name and learned English while working for his eldest brother George, manufacturing musical instruments.[8] He arrived in the United States in March 1784, just after the end of the Revolutionary War. His second brother Henry preceded him to New York, establishing a butcher shop with which Astor was initially involved. He traded furs with Native Americans and in the late 1780s started a fur goods shop in New York City. He also became the New York agent of his brother's musical instrument business.[9] Henry was also a horse racing enthusiast, and purchased a thoroughbred named Messenger, who had been brought from England to America in 1788. The horse became the founding sire of all Standardbred horses in the United States today. On September 19, 1785, Astor married Sarah Todd (1761–1834), the daughter of Scottish immigrant Adam Todd and Sarah Cox.[10][11] Although she brought him a dowry of only $300, she possessed a frugal mind and a business judgment that he declared better than that of most merchants, and she assisted him in the practical details of his business.[12] Fortune from fur trade[edit] Astor took advantage of the Jay Treaty between England and the United States in 1794, which...

...In a contemporary musical performance context the fiddle is always present and rarely would a band not include a fiddle in their repertoire. On the other hand, from at least 1,000 AD, a rich culture of composition, improvisation, performance and ensemble has been mastered around the harp in Ireland. This instrument has become a very important symbol of the country; pictured on the national flag, Garda caps and in coin currency. Ireland is the only country in the world that has a music instrument as its symbol. The harp is basically a frame supporting strings from a sound-box. Its shape is the reason why there are so many harp traditions around the word, traditions that have constantly strived exploration, retrieval and ingenuity among harpers and harp enthusiasts through the 20th and into the 21st...
