...given a battalion commander position over a group of infantry regulars. This was something very unnatural. With such a high profile war, to find a unit where every person in it was an actual soldier was like a dream made in heaven. During this time absolute chaos was not unlikely, especially with the poor training of the volunteers. Unlike many, all of Sykes troops were “regulars”. Because of this, nothing but sure success was highly expected. He continued the war with wins in battle until he was faced with the bloodiest battle in history to this day, the battle of Gettysburg. This was an all out event full of madness. Despite the activity, Sykes still held on and did what he had to do. He was called in-support of brigade commander Strong Vincent and the 20th marine Infantry Division. Sykes is best known for his defense on little round top. This conflict with in the battle is...

...Charles Manson is known as the most popular serial killers in the United States, the only difference has he never killed anyone, he always had his disciples kill for him. In the beginning of Charles life, he showed signs of a criminal lifestyle from how he was raised, in and out of jails or institutions, and the use of drugs. When Manson was born he was born from a teenage prostitute, who was not in his life frequently and went to prison leaving Charles unattached his whole childhood. He spent most of his youths with his relatives and on the streets, which cause him to go to juvenile detentions and institutions a lot (Bugliosi & Gentry, 1994). He committed acts such as small crimes and federal crimes and gone through many psychiatrists. The many interviews Manson got from the prison records or post-prison interviews he describe his life as “he commented that institutions have become a way of life and that he receives security in institutions which is not available to him in the outside world” (Bugliosi & Gentry, 1994). Over the years of Charles life, he has “ over seventeen of those years more than half of his life been spent in institutions and has been examined by a psychiatrist three-time” (Bugliosi & Gentry, 1994). His way of knowledge he found himself through his music and helped him form a perspective of the world. Sometimes, he would even use the power of music to control his females. Charles went through many girls; mostly of which were powerless and would do anything...

The other two boys, Johnny (the main character, played by John Gallagher, Jr.) and Tunny (Stark Sands) leave Will behind and head off to make their way in the world.

...Irreversible is a French film, written, directed and produced by Gaspar Noé that was released in 2002. All scenes in the film are mounted in a reverse chronological order: The film begins with the end of the story and ends at the beginning of the latter. After the rape of his wife (Monica Belucci), Marcus (Vincent Cassel), accompanied by his best friend Pierre (Albert Dupontel), decided to find the culprit. The film has raised the polemic by the intensity of the scenes of violence that may offend the sensitivity of the spectator. In fact, these scenes (Physical aggression and rape) are projected onto the screen in a complete adequacy with the definition given by Gilles Deleuze to the time-image: The time-image being essentially characterized by its ability to show a pure image of time: the time appears by itself, it is an image that shows pure optical and sound situations. Indeed, as Garett Stewart mentioned “It is a discourse about time, while merely a story about death and aborted futurity”. As the title of the movie itself suggests, the story is mainly about the impossibility of going back in time, to anticipate the future, to make up the time. The film is a set of a dozen long master shots: from the final scene of revenge (failed) until the scene showing the couple's happiness, shortly before the tragedy. With a project as ambitious as that posed by Gaspard Noe in this film (representing "a cosmic view of temporality"), one wonders why the film fails to achieve this aim...

...Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain Defends Little Round Top Case Study Chapter 5 Arooj Javiad Zia March 24, 2013 University of Maryland University College Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was in command of the 20th Maine Regiment of Infantry, under the Maine Volunteer Corps. During the third year of the Civil War, as part of the Union Army, Chamberlain’s troops were ordered by Strong Vincent to anchor of the extreme left of the Union line on Little Round Top. In order to get to the front lines, the leadership skills used by Chamberlain with the mutineers have to be honored for its effective assimilation. The story about the successful leadership is illustrated in The Leadership Moment by the author Micheal Useem. The way Chamberlain defended the Union Army during the day at Little Round Top is unique for being a great example of a great leader. Although a commander leader from Maine in the Union Army, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was not a graduate from Universities like his other colonels; in fact he was a professor of religious studies at Bowdoin College. Even when he decided to become part of the Union Army, his college faculty was not granting him the leave at first since he did not even have any military training experience. Once he was accepted in the Army, his placement consisted of being a commander for 20th Maine Regiment by taking place of the higher officer who was promoted elsewhere. Chamberlain was given the good news that he would have to train troops...

...Edward Scissorhands directed by Tim Burton is a classic horror theme inspired by the story of Frankenstein, where an evil creature enters into a peaceful community and disrupts the calm. Burton, however, changes the horror genre and on many occasions turns the audience upside down by presenting a mixture of horror, comedy, romance and fairytale. Even before watching the film, a person knows that it is not a complete horror. The advance publicity for Edward Scissorhands used the phrase 'the story of an unfinished gentle man' and posters showed a picture of a gloomily dark Edward with a butterfly resting on one of the sharp blades constituting his hands. Contrasting images such as these show the idea of a mixture of the romance and horror genres. Even without seeing publicity material, the choice of teen favorites Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder for lead roles suggests that this is a film aimed at the teenage kids. A close look at the opening sequence of Edward Scissorhands shows many of the conventions associated with the horror genre but these are offset by elements of comedy and romance. As the credits roll, the music, the graphics (names white on black, making jagged scissor shapes) and the colures of black and white show the relationship with the horror genre. We then see visual images associated with the conventional 'haunted house' (huge door closing, cobwebs, strange gadgets) yet the music becomes lighter, more frivolous and on closer inspection some of the gadgets look...

...Changes of Lifestyle It is hard to understand and obey any law forcing individuals to change their way of living. In the book Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi there were many changes in the way of living during the Revolution. Persepolis was written based on Satrapi’s childhood memories through her eyes as a child. Satrapi explains the difficulties she had changing her usual ways and getting in trouble for expressing herself with the things she liked. It was not just Satrapi who faced changes but other families as well and even the society as a whole. Although there were many changes in the lifestyles of many, there was a great impact on the military, women, education and in many adolescences. To begin, the military began recruiting teenage boys at age fourteen living in poverty which created a change in the military. This was a change within the military because at fourteen one is still considered immature and has not mentally or physically developed to the fullest. To join the military one should be mature and fully grown. Many of these fourteen year old boys were tricked into joining the military. They were given a key painted gold representing value. They were told if they were fortunate enough to die, the golden key would open the door into heaven. They were promised a better life than the one they were living in the lower class. As Mrs. Nasrine, Satrapi’s maid, explains, “‘They told him that in paradise there will be plenty of food, women and houses...

...Part 1 Communicating for Distance Education Grandma, I don’t want to scare you, but I got into an accident today. I’m fine, though. I’m just a little shaken up. I was pulling out of the Subway parking lot around the corner from work, and within 10 seconds of pulling out onto US 19, someone drove straight into the back of my car. The guy that hit me, hit me so hard that he pushed me into the car in front of me. I immediately jumped out of the car, started screaming and yelling at the guy that hit me, and then just sat down on the sidewalk because I didn’t know if I had any damage done to me. The paramedics came to check me out. All is well. To whom it may concern, On February 1st, 2013, I was rear-ended by a gentleman in a Toyota pick-up on US Highway 19 near the exit to Clearwater beach. I made a right turn onto US 19. Approximately 300 feet after making the right turn, the late model Toyota pick-up rear-ended me, resulting in me hitting the vehicle in front of me. I then drove a block up to the Steak & Shake restaurant and proceeded to call 911. A sheriff showed up to take statements from all three people that were involved in the accident (myself, the gentleman that hit me, and the woman I got pushed into). Ten minutes after calling 911, paramedics came to check on my vitals. All vitals were fine and I was released. If you have...

...CUBISM 'Factory, Horta de Ebbo', 1909 (oil on canvas) PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) 'Factory, Horta de Ebbo', 1909 (oil on canvas) Cubism was a truly revolutionary style of modern art developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braques. It was the first style of abstract art which evolved at the beginning of the 20th century in response to a world that was changing with unprecedented speed. Cubism was an attempt by artists to revitalise the tired traditions of Western art which they believed had run their course. The Cubists challenged conventional forms of representation, such as perspective, which had been the rule since the Renaissance. Their aim was to develop a new way of seeing which reflected the modern age. POP ART Andy Warhol – Mickey maus the early morning of July 18 in Stockholm, a major theft occurred. Unknown broke the door to the museum Aberga (Abergs Museum), stormed inside and stripped from the walls of famous works of masters of the pop art of Andy Warhol (Andy Warhol) and Roy Lichtenstein (Roy Lichtenstein). Robbers also took a poster to the old film The New Spirit, probably thinking that this is also Warhol. Police are looking for villains in the entire Stockholm, but the search has not yielded results. Stolen masterpieces of pop art experts estimated in 500 thousand dollars. The museum is named after the famous Swedish filmmaker, artist and musician Lasse Aberga (Lasse Aberg). In the 1960's, he was carried away by pop-art aesthetics, and in 1970 started...
