Analysis Of Tia De Nora's Reading: Music In Everyday Life

Tia De Nora’s reading: Music in Everyday life establishes a connection and an association between music and how it “controls” one’s lifestyle or “modifies who we are in the moment” (Bigham Week 2 Lecture A).

Alain De Soto Landscape

After reading Alain De Botton’s, The Art of Travel and viewing De Soto’s discovery of the Mississippi, engraving by Johnson Fry & Co, I believe there is many thing you can take from these texts and many conclusions that we can make.

Summary Of Chapter XIX In The Topography Of Ireland

Context: I will investigate Chapter XIX in The Topography of Ireland. The reason I will do so is because the article takes an unorthodox approach to how they view the wolf, which is something I wanted to do. Specifically, it is interesting, in this chapter of Giraldus Cambrensis book, how negative actions are non-existent with these wolves; in fact, throughout Chapter XIX, wolves are viewed as positive, smart creatures.
