...| Head Quarters United States Marine Corps | Date: 11/27/12 Re: Art Selections for the Office As requested I have selected six new paintings, three Impressionist and three Post-Impressionist works. The works are to be placed along the large wall in the main lobby of the building in the order listed below. The order starts with two works depicting everyday life while in theatre, followed by two emotionally charged works that have become iconic for our beloved Marine Corps, completed by two works of everyday day life in theatre. The idea is for the viewer to scan the works left to right; starting with an introduction to our mission: combat readiness; moving to two historical benchmarks, one from our past and one from the present; completed by two works depicting Marines in the mission. TITLE | Touchdown | ARTIST | Howard A. Terpning | DESCRIPTION | Marines exiting a helicopter in Vietnam. The Marines are in dark hues of earth greens, with dark shading and shadowing. The Marines are being dropped in a background of a golden field that undetectably fades into the golden/orange background. | STYLE | Post-Impressionism: Focusing more on the subject matter of the Marines, then the landscape. Captured as hastily as the Marines exit with rapid strokes, dark pigments, laid in rugged, thick paint. Solid patches of color make the background while the subject matter is more clearly defined. (Sayre, pp. 1092-1093) | HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE | This work is important because...

...peace keepers located on a waterway called Boukan Kanni, which is a part of the Meile River. This river drains off into the Artibonite River. Haitians living in this rural area complained of the stench coming from behind the base and having spotted waste in the river. During the summer Nepal had outbreaks of cholera; the deployment to Haiti was not until October. No symptoms of the disease were evident in any of the peacekeepers, but 75% of people infected with this disease may not show symptoms and can infect persons for a period of two weeks. These implications are serious with regards to the United Nations. Haiti was hit in 2004 by tropical storm Jeanne killing around 3006 people, in 2008 tropical storm Fay, Hurricanes Gustav, Hanna, and Ike devastated the island leaving untold count of Haitians dead. The country’s most severe earthquake in over 200 years stuck on January 12, 2010. All the above mentioned disasters are acts of God; the cholera epidemic, prior was the Beri-beri epidemic in Haiti’s penitentiary which reportedly was caused by the manufacturing process used in the United States processed rice and the traditional Haitian rice cooking method was killing the young men behind bars and leaving others morbidly ill. The latter are acts of mankind. When I was in my adolescent years, I was introduced to a woman, named “Haitian Marie” who was my aunt through marriage to my uncle.

For the film, TV and opera adaptations, see The Great Gatsby (disambiguation). The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding theAmerican Dream.[1][2] Fitzgerald, inspired by the parties he had attended while visiting Long Island's north shore, began planning the novel in 1923 desiring to produce, in his words, "something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned."[3] Progress was slow with Fitzgerald completing his first draft following a move to the French Riviera in 1924. His editor, Maxwell Perkins, felt the book...

...the course CJUS115 Criminal Justice Instructor: Dr. Fay Williams By Sydoney Blackwood I.D # 15130115 Section A Date: 1st October, 2014 In 1671 a letter was written, sent and adhered to. This letter established change for Jamaica; a brighter and emancipated future. “We serve, we protect, we reassure with courtesy, integrity and proper respect for the rights of all,” a mission to uphold in this ‘change’. After Jamaica was captured by the English Colonists in 1655, law enforcement was conveyed. Seemingly during this period, the community recognized the need for an agency to maintain law and order. In 1716, night watchmen were appointed to serve various cities in Jamaica, after which in 1832 the first attempt was made in establishing a permanent police force. The Morant Bay Rebellion called for the strengthening of this force after their services were rendered. An improved force was established, the Jamaica Constabulary Force. This force had major responsibilities and so was a choice for individuals, as it was voluntarily that one may join the force. These responsibilities were and currently are based on the Jamaica panel code. Over a period of time in the Jamaican Constabulary Force, advancements such as ranks, uniforms and proper training were put in place. The first development of the Jamaica Constabulary force was brought about by the British Colonist after capturing the island. In 1671 Charles II of England wrote a letter advising the Provost Marshal...

He also let his grades and attendance slip and was put on academic probation. In 1917, Fitzgerald had dropped out of college and joined the U.S. Army. He was worried that he might die in World War 1, so he quickly wrote the novel The Romantic Egotist.

...Genesis A. Jimenez Professor Abigail Manzella English 2830 18 November 2014 Beyond Objectification: Ann Darrow’s real role in King Kong One of the most intriguing aspects of King Kong is the power of her visual effects. The multiple exposures, processed "shots" and a variety of angles of camera aim to provide viewers of 1930’s an escape from the severe economic depression before World War II. However, in King Kong the representation of the female role as an object of pleasure is somewhat disappointing for our society nowadays. In the entire film, we are not provided by strong traits of Ann Darrow’s personality other than her helplessness and common gender stereotypes. It seemed that Ann Darrow didn’t have anything else to offer other than being the endangered beauty of the film. King Kong objectifies and enhance one aspect of Ann Darrow in the entire movie: her physical beauty, apparently her only role is to be the object of desire or wealth for Kong of the principal male roles in the film. My goal in this paper is to show that situation and her complexity, how that portrayal of Ann Darrow’s character determines the continuity of the movie and her genre. Clearly Merian C. Cooper y Ernest B. Schoedsackare portray Ann’s character in order to don’t deviate and enhance the overall concept of an adventure film and produces greater meaning to the final quote: "The beauty killed the beast" and the evidence brought in this paper helps to support my belief.

...The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (published on April 10, 1925) is one novel that anyone would regret not reading. It has gone down in history as one of the most important works in American literature — and, to many, the great American novel. Fitzgerald has succeeded in offering up commentary on a variety of themes — justice, power, greed, betrayal, the American dream and so on through Nick as a narrator. There are two most impressive symbols in the novel. The green light at the end of Daisy’s dock and the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg remains obsessing in readers’ minds. The first is a perfect example of the manner in which characters The Great Gatsby. Situated at the end of Daisy’s East Egg dock and barely visible from Gatsby’s West Egg lawn, the green light represents Gatsby’s hopes and dreams. Gatsby associates it with Daisy, to whom “ he bought house to be near her, he threw all those parties hoping she would wander in one night”. In Chapter 1 he reaches toward the green light on the other side of the river, in the darkness as a guiding light to lead him to his goal. Gatsby’s quest for Daisy is broadly associated with the American dream: “all man are created equal and that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness”, the green light also symbolizes that more generalized ideal. Though, The Great Gatsby illustrates the downgrade value of American Dream, instead of...

...I. INTRODUCTION a. Background of Choosing the Work of Art The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. Fitzgerald was the most famous chronicler of 1920s America, an era that he dubbed “the Jazz Age.” Written in 1925, The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest literary documents of this period, in which the American economy soared, bringing unprecedented levels of prosperity to the nation. Prohibition, the ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution (1919), made millionaires out of bootleggers, and an underground culture of revelry sprang up. The chaos and violence of World War I left America in a state of shock, and the generation that fought the war turned to wild and extravagant living to compensate. The Great Gatsby is highly symbolic meditation on 1920s America as a whole, in particular the disintegration of the American dream in an era of unprecedented prosperity and material excess. Fitzgerald portrays the 1920s as an era of decayed social and moral values, evidenced in its overarching cynicism, greed, and empty pursuit of pleasure. So, choosing The Great Gatsby and had the characters as its focus in this paper because it covers Marxism where each character’s purpose in life is money, and the essence of desire is wealth. It is clear within the text that...

...Erich Weisz was a Jewish boy born in Budapest, Austria-Hungary in 1874. While he claims he was born in Appleton, Wisconsin. His father was a Jewish Rabbi, Mayer Samuel Weisz, and his mother was Cecelia Weisz (“Timeline of Houdini's Life”). Erich was short, standing at 5'5”, with dark gray eyes, dark wavy hair, and a high toned voice. Erich had little formal education, like most people at that time, but was exceedingly athletic and extremely motivated (“Harry Houdini Biography”). By the time Houdini was six, he had already developed a taste for magic and sleight of hand after seeing a traveling magician performed the Linking Rings trick. His first trick was making a dried pea appear in any one of three cups (“Harry Houdini” PBS). When Erich was nine some friends of his opened up a five-cent circus. He wore red woolen socks, and called himself "Erich, The Prince of the Air." Erich worked for a localized locksmith and able to pick almost any lock at age eleven. An autobiography by the famed French magician, Houdin, Erich was inspired and chose to follow in his footsteps business-wise. (“Timeline of Houdini's Life”). At the age of thirteen, Erich and his father moved to New York City, after a few of failures in the Midwest, and got jobs as newspaper seller. Then, when he was there he became very interested in trapeze arts and spent his time practicing (“Harry Houdini Biography” Bio.com). Erich and his father got casual jobs, while living in a boarding house, then later their...

...seductresses have often been blamed for the downfall of man, used a shield for men to hide behind and a figure to which they assign responsibility for misdeeds. Temptress are common in mythology and legend, strengthening the severely negative and misogynistic view of feminine sexuality. The Sirens of Greek mythology, often depicted as prepossessing women, lured sailors to their deaths with their enchanting voices (Hamilton 48). Similar to the Sirens is Die Lorelai, a beautiful woman whose song lures men’s ships into the rocks, drowning them. Circe, “a most beautiful and most dangerous witch,” would seduce men and lure them ashore (Hamilton 294). In Homer’s Odyssey, Calypso tempts Odysseus into staying with her as “a virtual prisoner on [the] island” that she ruled over (Hamilton 305). Future societies would draw on these mythological tales and the negative portrayal attractive women and their sensuality. Many female figures in religious texts have been associated with lust and temptation in order to demonize them and assign blame. Lilith, she-demon and first wife of Adam, has epitomized the dangers of female sexuality for centuries. In the Alphabet of Ben Sira, although believed to be satirical in nature, Lilith leaves Adam because she is treated as his inferior. However, Lilith was not seen as an enlightened female figure to the ancient societies and religions that regarded her as real. As early as 2000 BCE she has represented the “chaos, seduction, and ungodliness” of the world,...
