How far do you agree that Hitler's Regime was a 'consensus dictatorship'? A consensus dictatorship
is on that suggests Hitler's regime was surrounded by a general agreement. This would mean that the
majority of the German public were in cooperation with the Nazi regime and agreed with both the
enforced and promoted concept of the regime. Hitler had mainly achieved this by trying to ' win
over the hearts and minds of all non–Jewish Germans' this would mean he would have the majority
of the Germans citizens on his side. However, it is also suggested that many of the people had only
consented due to fear which can be inferred from source 5 that it was the methods of the Nazi
apparatus of terror that had led to the people conforming. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

The public voluntarily had given in the names of Jews to the Nazis due to jealousy and terror
imposed on them by the Nazi's which suggests that the terror apparatus used on civilians was
effective and the public were forced to conform to the dictatorship but overall most people acted
towards their own benefit and the countless denunciations which included false accusations indicate
that the regime was a consensus dictatorship. On the other hand, the opposition faced by the Nazi
regime is evidence that the Nazi Regime was not a consented one. In Source 5 it mentions the
political opponents being detained in the concentration camps but even with this sort of mass terror
of demolishing the left there was signs of opposition against the regime. The fact that there were
low–level resistance jokes around shows the Nazis were unpopular. People were trying to pick holes
in the system rather than just accept it. People were trying to spread the word. This also indicated
the fear people had of Hitler and it was this fear that forced the people to conform. The Church
although having an agreement with Hitler called the concordat had stood against the regime a
number of times. For example, Bishop von Galen of Munster had stood against the euthanasia
programmes. There was also opposition from the youth, an example the swing kids, they expressed
their individuality by wearing their hair long and listened to jazz. But most opposition and resistance

1950's DBQ The 1950s is considered to be the model decade of America. Families were close,
children respected their elders, workers worked hard to provide for their families who grew up in
nice neighborhoods, and the economy was booming. The forced conformity, neglect of the poor, and
segregation are often overlooked when talking about the decade as they were during the time period.
The 1950s were a prodigious time period for family life but not for the individual or societal ethics.

These types of articles forced women to behave in a way that lived up to a standard set by white
patriarchs. Once these women edited their appearances to stand out to a man and learned to be an
exceptional wife, they often became bored with their lives of sitting around the house because they
were not allowed to go out into the world. Document M takes an excerpt from a doctor's research on
why so many women came in with bored looks on their faces asking what was wrong with them.
Instead of the doctors telling them to go out and enjoy themselves they often prescribed
tranquilizers. These women would wake up and pop a tranquilizer, making them not care that they
felt like they did not want to live like that another day. Problems like those were often caused by
society's iniquitous codes for life.
The insecurities of the individual were caused by the poor societal ethics of the time. Document B
shows this where society told women that they had to be beautiful and since no one was born
beautiful, they needed to buy products to alter their appearances. This was an example of social
conformity, which was another poor ethic of the time. "And the people in the houses all went to the
university, where they were put in boxes and they all came out the same" This excerpt from

Compare and Contrast The Romantics: William Blake and Mary Wolstonecraft
Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman sets out to invalidate the social and
religious standards of her time in regards to gender, just as William Blake sets out to do the same for
children. Both Blake and Wollstonecraft can be read by the average man and woman, lending its
attention toward both upper and middle class. Wollstonecraft's revolutionary themes of tyranny and
oppression of women parallel the themes in Blake's poetry of the tyranny and oppression of
children; hence, leading the reader to the Romantic notion of empathy.
Wollstonecraft's use of nonfiction prose for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman sets her apart
from the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Because women of her time were seen as "creatures" who lacked good sense and moral virtues,
Wollstonecraft vehemently defends her gender by shifting the cause of these "female follies," on
men and argues, "From the tyranny of man, I firmly believe, the greater number of female follies
proceed; and the cunning, which I allow makes at present a part of their character, I likewise have
repeatedly endeavored to prove, is produced by oppression."
Blake directly addresses the same Romantic theme of tyranny and oppression towards children in
"Holy Thursday" wherein he bluntly, yet poetically says, "Is this a holy thing to see/ In a rich and
fruitful land/ Babes reduced to misery/ Fed with cold and usurious hands" (lines 1–4).
Although Blake uses poetic blatancy, while Wollstonecraft uses direct nonfiction prose, both
epitomize "Romanticism" with their revolutionary themes of an unjust system of society that points
towards immoral conduct by using the weaker for their own happiness and gain.
A characteristic tone of Romanticism is to evoke empathy within the reader to gain a deeper
understanding of the revolutionary topics. In Vindication, as Wollstonecraft argues that a woman
should have proper education so that she may exercise her hidden power of the use of reason when
"young love" grows cold and she can no longer please her husband, she addresses this issue by

The Great Terror, an outbreak of organised bloodshed that infected the Communist Party and Soviet
society in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), took place in the years 1934 to 1940.
The Terror was created by the hegemonic figure, Joseph Stalin, one of the most powerful and lethal
dictators in history. His paranoia and yearning to be a complete autocrat was enforced by the
People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD), the communist police. Stalin's ambition saw his
determination to eliminate rivals such as followers of Leon Trotsky, a political enemy. The overall

Stalin's initial political purge occurred on December 1st 1934, when Sergey Kirov, secretary of the
Leningrad Soviet, was assassinated by Leonid Nikolayev. Some soviets believed that Stalin ordered
the assassination of Kirov; however Stalin used this event as an opportunity to arrest thousands of
his opponents, whom he alleged may have been responsible for the murder. The NKVD were
ordered to initiate the investigations of suspects in order to arrest them, send them to concentration
camps and carry out death sentences and by the end of December 1934, numerous of Kirov's
followers in Leningrad, as well as the assassin Nikolaev, were all shot on the same night, December
29th. As a consequence, this impacted the public as society became terrified of saying the wrong
thing and feared being prosecuted and executed. Stalin's political opponents who avoided purges
were presented at show trials, between 1936 and 1938, a judicial trial held in public with the intent
of influencing public opinion rather than ensuring justice, where the accused pleaded guilty to
charges of treason that he could not have committed. The NKVD had extracted the confessions,
through various methods, from those arrested. These methods included bribery, with promises of
freedom for themselves and their families, and the use of force and torture. Moreover it included the

Roosevelt has often been criticized for what many believe was misguided faith in the devious leader
of the Soviet Union. However, even before World War II began, Roosevelt had no illusions of what
Stalin was and what he represented believing that the "Soviet Union was run by a dictatorship as
absolute as any other dictatorship in the world" (483). Furthermore, Roosevelt only considered
allying with Stalin after his personal advisor Harry Hopkins assured him of Stalin's resolve to fight
the Germans till the end. It is therefore not Stalin's ideology that Roosevelt put his faith in, but
instead trusted in Stalin's desire to do everything in his power to keep his own country from the
Germans. More than anything it seems that Roosevelt saw Stalin as a way to achieve his short–of–
war– strategy, supporting Stalin and his army was a way to defeat or weaken German forces without
direct American support. Even this seemingly small show of faith in Stalin angered many Americans
who believed that since Stalin had made a deal with Hitler once, there was nothing stopping him
from abandoning the ally cause once the opposition made him a better deal (484). However,

During battle and wartime, in the experience stage, all of the frivolous emotions and concerns are
melted away as this newly realized proximity to death brings a new appreciation for life and the
truly important things. The things that truly matter to a man may vary and some of them, such as
love, fear, comfort, and compassion, are intangible. And yet it is these intangible things and not
direct orders from a commander that drive a man onward during war. Unfortunately, war not only
reveals the innermost truths of a man's character, it also destroys his capacity for leading a normal
life upon his return home. Once a man has confronted his personal demons and come to some sort of
understanding regarding his place in the universe and the inevitability of death, he has an extremely
difficult time acclimating himself to civilian life once the war ends. Of all the novels read in War

appointed Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933 Hitler wasted no time and almost
immediately began working on his propaganda strategy. Typically "propaganda targets a mass
audience and relies on mass media to persuade. Propaganda is aimed at large numbers of people
and, as such, relies on mass communication to reach its audience" (Gass, 14). The Nazi party used
film propaganda to brainwash the German people, distract them from the harsh reality of the Nazi
party, and attempt to intimidate the enemy. Hitler knew propaganda entailed mass persuasion and he

Knowing this, the producers of the German war documentaries intentionally added scenes of
soldiers doing normal day to day activities in an attempt to add a human touch.
Not all German propaganda films were shown to Germans in an attempt to create a stronger support
system for Nazi Germany. Some German of these films were made specifically to be shown to the
enemy in an attempt to intimidate the enemy into submission. According to Sakmyster these films
were far less successful and few if any of those that viewed the films actually believed the film
content to be true. However, "the Germans did not really care if non–Germans actually believed the
arguments in these films [as] they were meant to frighten others into submission, to intimidate any
country that might be thinking of resisting German expansionism or of remaining on friendly terms
with Great Britain" (Sakmyster). The Nazi party saw the opportunity to use film to attempt to
portray themselves as a dominant power prepared to take on what Germany considered to be weak
countries. While these films did not appear to be successful it is possible they had an impact on the
decision of King Leopold to surrender just after the start of the German invasion. If these films did

influences Kurtz's bad behavior. Kurtz becomes greedy and powerful but never realizes that this
behavior is bringing him down until he is on the verge of death. Kurtz last words, "The horror! The

the biggest examples of darkness in this book. The final thing Kurtz had an affect on was the other

of Evil because of Heston, who, hearing Welles was to be his costar, urged Universal to make him
director as well. Universal agreed, but only if the budget for the movie was kept artificially low and
Welles himself worked for free. The actors thus had to work for a fraction of their normal rates; even
so, Welles had no trouble finding his cast" (Gant 658).
Notwithstanding, many people in show business at that time just wanted to work with Welles on

during World War II. The leader of the Nazi party, Adolf Hitler, saw propaganda as a vehicle of
political salesmanship in a mass market. Hitler really admired American propaganda. He admired it
so much, he appointed Nazi Joseph Goebbels as Germany's minister of propaganda. Goebbels used
art propaganda to glorify the state and attack those who were considered an enemy. In 1933 when

Everyone knew about it, but no one ever talked about it. The first knowledge many American's had
of Communism came from Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain Speech" (Matusow, 45). Churchill
basically said in his speech that the Soviet Union was pushing forward a global Communist
takeover. And Churchill also said that he believed, "We should not let such a force loose on the
planet" (Matusow, 46). That was the first time many American eyes were opened to Communism,
and McCarthy made sure it was not the last. The entire chaos that Senator McCarthy caused had
become collectively known as "The Red Scare" (Feuerlicht, 34). McCarthy used this entire "Red
Scare" idea to boost his hopes for re–election. But an elected official is supposed to be a

There have been dozens of definitions of entrepreneurship. The first of those is the phenomenon that
some people, rather than working for somebody else under an employment contract, strike out on
their own and become self–employed. These economic entities involve some element of innovation
at start–up, and some degree of innovativeness is needed to survive over time. However, innovation
is not central to this phenomenon. It is to the second social reality. This reality involves the
development and renewal of any society, economy or organization, which is based on micro–level
actors who have the initiative and persistence to make change happen. In this reality,
'entrepreneurship' means the creation of new economic activities and organizations as well as the

the communist super power, The U.S.S.R. from 1929 till his death in 1953, Stalin made himself
known around the world for many things, both good and bad. While Stalin administered great
changes during his reign and industrialized Russia at a pace unheard of before in history, these were
at the cost of millions of lives. Born on December 21st, 1879 in the small village of Gori, Georgia to
a cobbler father and a mother who washed clothes, Joseph was the only surviving child out of four.

In 1901, Djugasvilli joined the Social Democratic Labor Party. Soon after that Joseph left for Russia
where he helped organize many revolutions and protests against the ideals of the tsar. He was
arrested for the first time in 1902 for organizing an attack on a factory in Batum. Joseph spent 18
months in jail, where he came up with the name "Stalin", which translates to "Man of Steel". In
1904, Stalin was deported to Siberia. Joseph escaped from the prison in Siberia, and continued to
organize and carry out more strikes and demonstrations. Impressed by Stalin's achievements and
perseverance, Vladimir Lenin invited Stalin to meet him in Finland in 1905. Over the next eight
years, Stalin was arrested four times for anti–tsarist activities, but managed to escape each time.
Joseph moved to Russia and became the editor of "Pravda" in 1911, and was arrested once more in
1913. Stalin was finally exiled to Siberia after being arrested so many times. When Kerensky came
into power after the successful overthrow of the Tsar, he decreed all political prisoners be freed, thus
Stalin was able to return to Russia and resume his job as editor at "Pravda". In 1917, Stalin was
awarded his first position of power by Lenin. Lenin was pleased with Stalin's work in the October
Revolution, and so Stalin was given the seat of Commissioner of Nationalities. This gave Stalin

his photography career he was a department store clerk and later opened his own small business
manufacturing jewelry cases. He was on his way to Albany for reasons unknown when he met
William Page, a painter, who introduced him to Samuel Morse. It was Samuel Morse who taught
him how to take daguerreotypes, a type of photography in which you create a mirror image on a
silver–surfaced copper plate. After he had mastered daguerreotypes he opened his own miniature
gallery to show off his photographs. It was a successful gallery. He had won medals every year from
1844–1850. He had also begun photographing famous Americans, for example Edgar Allen Poe and
James Cooper. Mathew Brady had very poor eyesight "but the role of the portrait photographer was
to create the image that the camera would capture, and thus his failing eyesight was not a significant
disability, and nobody found it odd that New York's most famous photographer saw so poorly or that

Consent is the permission for something to happen or the agreement to do something. Although
admittedly it played a part in initiating Hitler's power and then later maintaining it, it was not the
most important element. Terror was the most important element in maintaining his power. The other
elements that were important in maintaining Hitler's power include propaganda, necessity of
economic depression and the removal of other political parties in Germany. Interpretations A and B

Interpretations C and D however support the view that consent played an important element, albeit
interpretation C was consent through propaganda. Hans Rothfels ... Show more content on

Propaganda was an important element as it enhanced the effectiveness of the terror; the Nazis
ensured the population knew what would happen to Nazi opposition. One case in particular
highlighting the high level of terror is that a court case by a Cologne Judge. A middle aged woman
was sentenced to death even though her crime was just theft of curtains, clothes and coffee. The
population became aware of the ruthlessness of the courts mainly via the press. Historian Robert
Gellately enforces this, crime and punishment stories were 'crafted according to specific guidelines
laid down by the Propaganda Ministry and press officers to obtain the maximum public relations
effect'. Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels concluded that propaganda was required to strengthen
the existing support from people and to convince those who did not support the party that they
needed to. As Goebbels once said, "The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to
an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly". The ability to convince the
population into succumbing to ideology meant that there was as a whole a collective acceptance of
the regime which meant there were no mass uprisings or opposition against it. Thus, Hitler's regime
was able to maintain power through the publishing of terror through propaganda. The economic

The power that Hitler received when he became leader corrupted him and made him kill six million
Jews, nearly committing genocide on the Jewish population. The corruption increased, with Hitler?s

During the period when Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness was written, a common theme in
literature was the testing of the moral life through actual experience. One could not realize an ethical
principle without it being justified through the outcome of some practical conflict. This idea of
testing morality through experience is exactly what is presented in Conrad's novel as Marlow's
journey results in a trial that not only defines his own beliefs but allows him to make a rather
pessimistic conclusion on the morality of mankind. This realization comes about through the
author's double presentation of imperialism in which it is both glorified and criticized. Marlow

He even admits that he tries to keep his distance from any real connection to one side. He explains,
"I had no time...when you have to attend to things of that sort (sailing the steamer), to the mere
incidences of the surface, the reality...fades."(pg.61) He describes the violent death of his
predecessor with very little opinion on the matter at all. He states:
I couldn't let it rest though; but... what became of the hens I don't know
either. I should think the cause of progress got them, anyhow. However,
through this glorious affair I got my appointment...(pg.13)
To call this event a "glorious affair" appears rather cold, but it does demonstrates that Marlow had
no real opinion on the conflict other than it provided him his opportunity. Later, as Marlow prepares
his ship for the journey, he surveys the men at the station and states, "I asked myself sometimes
what it all meant."(pg.39) He may question the situation at first, but he does not truly make the
attempt to understand it at that point. Later he is forced to confront it. Still, it is Marlow's distancing
of himself from the action around him that allows him to make his general judgements about

up the word 'darkness' or 'dark' in a dictionary you may find more than one meaning. First meaning
it gave – dark, no light, dull cutoff from the rest of the world, gloomy, sad, sinister, evil secret, night,
not knowing. These are all words that could have been used in the book.
The jungle could be sinister and evil. I find that the word secret represents what goes on in the
jungle very well. It makes you think carefully about what might be in the jungle, the dangers and
cautions of the jungle. It also seems very mystical. It shows that maybe the jungle has something to
hide that it doesn't want you to know about, it wants to keep it to itself.
In the book, as Marlow travels up the Congo River, he himself begins to become sinister and evil, he

business environment, entrepreneurs competing with already established companies must be open
for change and improvement.
After a entrepreneur has managed to establish himself as a business owner, he uses other skills to
walk toward success, these are leadership and passion. Leadership is the capacity of directing and
influencing others; an entrepreneur must also be a leader in order to run a successful business where
employees feel moved and inspired to give the best of them each day. And leadership could not exist

of land to lots of countries. Then a civil war erupted between Bolsheviks, Reds, and anti–
Bolsheviks, Whites. In northern Russia, British, French, and U.S troops are capturing cities, as well
as in the Russian Far East. Then Russia declares a policy of war communism with the state taking
control of the whole economy causing millions of peasants to starve to death because the army
confiscates grain for it own needs. Lenin proposes New Economic Policy which partially returns the

communicates its original narrative through ground–breaking cinematography, lighting, music,

innumerable cinematic devices to convey meaning. One of the many implications Citizen Kane
makes is strongly embodied in the sequence of Kane and his wife Susan at their palace, Xanadu.

As the camera cuts to a long shot taken from behind Kane's left shoulder, Susan appears so small
that the spectator must actually search the mise–en–scene for her. By choosing these particular
camera shots and angles, Welles uses cinematic devices to portray women.
Mise–en–scene takes an important role in this sequence, as it strongly illustrates the powerlessness
and irrelevance of Susan. In front of the vast empty fireplace completing her endless jigsaw puzzles,
Susan kneels near the bottom of the frame, which symbolizes defencelessness and insignificance. To
her right, there is a fire pump which is so large it dwarfs her, and behind to her left is a massive
statue of a Roman goddess. This is ironic, since deities represent strength and authority, both of
which Susan is completely lacking. The goddess takes on the dominant role of this shot instead of
the living person, Susan. This particular use of mise–en–scene represents the inequality between
men and women in the film.
Susan's movements also play a major role in implying the submissiveness of women. Gentle,
graceful hand movements as she places puzzle pieces, a slow turn of the head as she acknowledges
Kane's entrance, and delicately twitching her fingers as she begs Charles to go to New York; all of

Sonata form is one of the more popular forms of music that is found in a variety of different works
including symphonies, concertos, and sonatas. Sonata form features three distinct sections: the
exposition, development, and recapitulation. Mozart was one of the early composers of this form of
music. I will examine the clear distinctions between each section and how he does not stray from the

The recapitulation is much like the exposition, except it does not modulate. All of these sections can
be seen in the Mozart and Beethoven movements that are being analyzed and relatively easy to
identify. In the Mozart symphony, sections defined by strong cadences. An easy example would be
at the end of the exposition where there is a PAC in ms. 99. Following that is a rest and then an
appearance of F–sharp minor. This is the beginning of the development. The end of the development
ends with a huge forte with a pedal tone and a cadence at ms. 160. The wind section quietly brings
the section to a close as the strings reintroduce the primary theme back in the original key of G
minor. These large sections are not likely to be mistaken. Beethoven too has clearly defined the large
sections of the sonata form. His exposition begins after two opening chords with the theme in the
cello section. The exposition closes with full orchestral chords in a perfect authentic cadence around
ms. 144–148 and after a short link/transition the development begins at ms. 166. The development
closes with huge orchestral chords. The big pictures for Mozart and Beethoven line up, but a closer

towards religious hypocrisy becomes clearer. The introduction to Araby sets the religious tones,
which flow through a neighborhood, dark and full of desire. The story opens on "a quiet street,

The girl is seen as something holy here by being placed in the "light." Joyce's character shows his
infatuation with the girl when he watches her door from the window every morning. Joyce shows
the religious confusion between the girl and the Church when, he writes, having seen
"nothing but the brown clad figure cast by my imagination, touched discretely by the lamp light...".
The figure described here is a man of the cloth, a friar, who is touched by the "light." Again this is
Joyce's religious undertone. Joyce's character labors to attend Araby. We read of his difficulties with
his
Uncle and Aunt, one forgetting completely of the boy's request to attend Araby and the other
concerned of it's being "some Freemason affair". The
Freemasons are an organized society that does not associate itself with the
Catholic Church. Joyce casts the Freemasons in a dim light by having the
Aunt question the purpose of the event. The ride to Araby on the special train symbolizes Joyce's
feelings of misery and despair and reflects his view of himself in his native country. Araby is
described as a big hall with the greater part of the hall in darkness. The silence the narrator

lacks evidence, Lynch stays true to at least what is known and believed. Lynch also gives a final
grace and dignity to the character of John Merrick which allows the film to end in a way that is
touchingly appropriate. As Merrick's "proprietor," Freddie Jones plays a ruthless menace and
desperate part of man his greedy and delights in the suffering and controlling of those weaker than
himself. Michael Elphick plays a horrible night porter who orchestrates an excruciating scene of
humiliation in Merrick's hospital room in which Merrick is put on display naked before paying
onlookers. Anne Bancroft as Treves' wife, provides the needed compassion as she shows Merrick
kindness in the face of a lifetime of women screaming at his physical ugliness. The supporting cast
deliver spot on performance that give validity and weight to the plot. Today, "The Elephant Man"
remains a highly–acclaimed film and emotional masterpiece. Expertly directed, written, and
performed, with an old style cinematography and classical music, the film can be seen as a return to
the days of black white film. The emphasis on character and acting skill was an original move by
Lynch during a time when special

66. Orson Welles Influences
When talking about how the Western culture has been influenced over the years, it is impossible not
to talk about Orson Welles, a man who has shaped the face of American cinema, radio, and theatre.
Orson Welles was born to two highly educated parents, Richard and Beatrice, who taught him to
play the violin, the piano, and traveled around the world with him. He was born in Wisconsin, and
although in his young years he was introduced to much of the world around him, his childhood
wasn't exactly happy. When he was four years old his parents separated, and by the time he was nine
his mother would be dead from jaundice. When we was thirteen his father died as well, this time do
to his alcoholic nature. Luckily Orson Welles was taken in by a man named Maurice Bernstein, who
fostered his passion for theatre. Despite his challenging upbringing Orson Welles still became one of
the most, if not the most important face of our modern media. At only nineteen years old Orson
Welles was already at the forefront ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He stuck around Hollywood for a time and married Rita Hayworth. He starred in an adaptation of
Jane Eyre and made a few more films. It wasn't really until his divorce from the "love goddess" that
he and Hollywood also divorced. He seemingly exiled himself from Hollywood for a full decade. A
loss that can still be felt today.
He didn't come back to Hollywood in any real way until the end of his life. He and Hollywood made
up, and he made several films in the last few years of his life. In 1975 he received the Lifetime
Achievement Award of the American Film Institute and was awarded the Directors Guild of
America's D.W. Griffith award, which is the highest award that organization has to offer. This seems
to me to a be a sort of understanding from Hollywood that Orson Welles was truly one of if not the
greatest director to ever live, and despite all of their fighting Welles deserved to be

68. Beethoven Essay
The rise of Ludwig van Beethoven into the rank of history's greatest composers was paralleled by
and in some ways a consequence of his own personal tragedy and despair.
Beethoven's family was of the Flemish origin. His mother, Maria Magdalena, died after a long
illness when Beethoven was only 17. He was not the only child in this family though. He had 2
brothers and 1 sister, both to which were disorganized and unruly. His family was always in constant
need of funds.
Beethoven showed his extraordinary musical talent at an early age. His father hoped he could induce
his child's development and make him more like Mozart, and possibly bring in some money for the
family which was desperately in need.
As a child, Beethoven never was too ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He began to study with other teachers and soon became very popular in Vienna. Some were pleased
with his performances, but others were embarrassed by his arrogance and bad manners.
In the late 1790's, Beethoven discovered an increasing buzzing and humming in his ears and it sent
him into panic, searching for a cure. In 1802, he wrote a letter to his brother describing his anguish.
He asked his brother to read the letter at the funeral. His suffering had a brief respite when he soon
fell in love with a young countess, and dedicated a song to her called "Moonlight Sonata". Even
after this, she did not marry Beethoven.
By October 1802, he had written the Heiligenstadt Testament confessing his deafness, and suicidal
considerations.
By about 1800, Beethoven was mastering the Viennese High–Classic style. Although Mozart had
first perfected the style, Beethoven did extend it to some degree. Having displayed a wide range of
his piano writing, he was also beginning to forge a new voice for the violin.
Beethoven's deafness landed him into a major cycle of depression. In his Testament, he reveals his
malaise that was sending him to the edge of despair. He speaks of suicide in the same breath as a
reluctance to die. Having searched vainly for a

70. The Use of Distortion as a Literary Device in George...
Animal Farm, by George Orwell, is an excellent example of distortion as a literary device. The story
is set up as a fable using a third person objective viewpoint and personification of animals to
represent historical figures and stereotypes. Distortion can also be found in much of the symbolism
throughout the novel. Similar to a fable, Animal Farm makes use of personification. In the story,
farm animals are used to represent different classes of people, from the average working man to
government officials and police or military personnel. This element of the novel goes deeper, when
the pigs on the farm begin to resemble historical figures such as Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky, of
Russia. Through distortion of character, Orwell brings ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This brings the reader to the level of the working class animals and instills a sense of uncertainty
and disillusionment that is felt by most of the characters in the story. In the beginning, the animals
are excited by Major's talk of rebellion against Mr. Jones and through Orwell's objective point of
view, the same feeling of insurrection is passed on to the audience. As the pigs weave an intricate
web of lies and scandal, the reader gets the sense that not all is well in the same way the animals do.
The difference between the animals and ourselves lies in intelligence. The author deliberately makes
the characters dumber than the average person, allowing us to see through the deception of the pigs,
without the use of a third person omniscient viewpoint. Symbolically, Animal Farm itself is
supposed to represent Russia and the Soviet Union under Communist control. The farm in today's
world, being a small, self–sustaining entity may relate to current conditions in North Korea. It seems
that Kim Jong–il, like the pigs, is much more equal than his subjects. Kim and Napoleon seem to
share the paranoia of being attacked by more powerful rivals, and both it seems, have a desire to
keep their respective nations in the dark. Perhaps less specifically, the farm could represent human
society as a whole. As mentioned earlier, the characters display an entire spectrum of human classes
and stereotypical personalities.

72. Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship Challenges in 21st. Century | | What is Entrepreneurship? The definition of
entrepreneurship has been debated among scholars, educators, researchers, and policy makers since
the concept was first established in the early 1700's. The term "entrepreneurship" comes from the
French verb "entreprendre" and the German word "unternehmen", both means to "undertake".
Bygrave and Hofer in1891 defined the entrepreneurial process as 'involving all the functions,
activities, and actions associated with perceiving of opportunities and creation of organizations to
pursue them'. Joseph Schumpeter introduced the modern definition of 'entrepreneurship' in 1934.
According to Schumpeter, "the carrying out of new combinations we call ... Show more content on

Although many current theories on entrepreneurship agree that there is an inherent component of
risk, the risk–bearer theory alone cannot explain why some individuals become entrepreneurs while
others do not. Thus, in order to build a development model of entrepreneurship it is necessary to
look at some of the other characteristics that help explain why some people are entrepreneurs; risk
may be a factor, but it is not the only one. Modern school of thought claims that the role of the
entrepreneur is that of an innovator; however, the definition of innovation is still widely debatable.
Kirzner suggests that the process of innovation is actually of spontaneous "undeliberate learning".
Thus, the necessary characteristics of the entrepreneur is alertness, and no intrinsic skills–other than
that of recognizing opportunities–are necessary. Other school of economists claims that
entrepreneurs have special skills that enable them to participate in the process of innovation.
Leibenstein claims that the dominant, necessary characteristics of entrepreneurs is that they are gap–
fillers i.e. they have the ability to perceive where market fails and to develop new goods or
processes that he market demands but which are not currently being supplied. Thus, entrepreneurs
have the special ability to connect different markets and make up for market failures and
deficiencies. Though the idea that entrepreneurs are innovators is largely acceptable, it

74. Essay about Discusses the Reliability of Specific Narrators
Discuss the reliability or otherwise of specific narrators employed in the texts that you have studied
on this module.
When discussing the reliability of specific narrators within a text there is a need to look at the
consistency of the narrators and also their trustworthiness. It is also important to assess how the
author has used the narrators within a novel and to what extent this use has on a readers view of
reliability. The novels Heart of Darkness By Joseph Conrad and A Hero of Our Time By Mikhail
Lermontov both contain more than one narrator. Heart of Darkness has two narrators, an anonymous
passenger on a pleasure ship who listens to Marlow's story and Marlow himself. The first narrator
speaks in the first person plural on ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It is the reader who has to decide on many occasions whether Marlow's opinions are close to the
truth or way off.
The reader may find it easy to trust Marlow's opinions and also what he says because of how the
story is told to them. Heart of Darkness is framed by the narration of another nameless observer
(which could quite easily be them). As a result, Marlow's whole story appears enclosed in quotation
marks. One reason for this may be that the reader feels as if he/she is hearing the tale as well.
Having Marlow in front of us on the Nellie, we feel the immediacy of his speaking voice and the
actual sensation of a sailor spinning a yarn before us. If Conrad had written the whole novel in the
first person, getting rid of the primary narrator, he would have needed to leave out Marlow's
hesitations and digressions, which are important to the style of the novel. We would also miss the
feeling that Marlow was working out the meaning of his tale as he went along and that he trusts us
to be a part of that process. A writer, unlike a speaker usually has things worked out in their head
before hand. This working out of things alongside the reader could be seen as a sign of reliability
because it could be said that Marlow is trying hard to be truthful so he can work out a correct
meaning. He would come to false conclusions if he did not use the truth to get there.
Conrad lets us experience Marlow's sensations along with

76. Heller's Use of Satire Within the Characters of Catch-22...
It is frequently said that the novel Catch – 22 by Joseph Heller is about Heller's opinion on war and
lack of patriotism. Although it is understandable how one could grasp those concepts from the novel
the main crux of the novel is for the reader to have noticed Heller's use of satire within the
characters. Also to be effected by Yosarrian's evolution. Heller uses satire to portray his outlook on
war but also other aspects in society. The other aspects are value of life, misuse of power, women
and the inhuman bureaucracy of the military structure as a whole.
Heller first does this by satirizing religion when colonel Cathcart wants to become a general and
uses his religion as more of a social status than a belief in a higher power. ... Show more content on

Near the end of the novel the soldiers or enlisted men begin to realize a need to value life or even a
mere sense of safety. This realization is something that Heller had been satirizing throughout the
novel by pointing out that the enlisted men were risking their lives everyday without question for an
unstable ad unjust system. How could you have extreme urge to defend your country, if you know
first hand the detestable things that are done behind the scenes? It also makes it worse that Colonel
Cathcart and Colonel Korn represent the country to many of the men .The Plot of Catch – 22 is
understand what Heller meant with his use of satire and how that was significant to the book and the
understanding of Yosarrian's evolution. Heller also has themes within the novel that display different
emotions; some of them are Confusion, sanity, hope and pity. Heller as do many other authors wants
the reader to also feel those emotions just as the characters. Yosarrian (The main character of the
story) has that affect on readers. The main reason he has that affect is because he is the character
from the novel that most can relate to and because seems to be the only one to object authority at
times.
In the beginning of the novel Yosarrian hope and trust for the war and his future but self–pity for his
situation with the missions. Although Yosarrian doesn't seem like the most logical character in the

78. Examining Themes in Heart of Darkness Essay
Joseph Conrad wrote the book, Heart of Darkness, in 1898. He wrote this book touching on many
different themes such as imperialism and commerce, darkness imagery, dream and nightmare,
isolation, mental and physical illness, truth, and journey. Although all the themes are important to
make Heart of Darkness complete, three prevail overall: imperialism and commerce, truth, and
journey. Being the author of the book, Joseph Conrad had a personal connection to it. He took his
own journey down the Congo River and like Marlow, said that as a child his dreams were to grow
up and explore the heart of Africa. A family member also recommended Conrad to a company.

The company was corrupt, and with its power and control over the natives, operated entirely for the
sole purpose of obtaining ivory. Marlow told of a time when the "civilized world" was discovering
the untamed British Isles, and in comparison of how the British are now discovering the unexplored
areas of the world. Thinking from the point of view of a commander, Marlow explains the feelings
of trying to conquer and over power swinish land.
" In some inland post feel savagery, the utter savagery, had closed round him, – all that mysterious
life of the wilderness that stirs in the forest, in the jungles, in the hearts of wild men. There is no
initiation either into such mysteries. He has to live in the midst of the incomprehensible, which is
also detestable. And it has a fascination, too, which goes to work upon him. The fascination of the
abomination–you know, imagine the growing regrets, the longing to escape, the powerless disgust,
the surrender, the hate."

All through Marlow's journey he encounters many accounts of torture, cruelty, and slavery mainly
pertaining to the natives.
It is no accident that the narrator introduced the reader to Marlow while on a journey. The story
