For this assignment, I’ve chosen to research the album Bridge over Troubled Water. Released on January 26th 1970, this was the final album of the dynamic duo. Due to an unsteady relationship, and disagreements over the album, the duo decided to break up in 1970 (Unterberger, “Simon & Garfunkel”). At this time, the United States was well into the Vietnam War. With death tolls rising
Paul Simon single-handedly changed the world of song writing. His songwriting is among the best, if not the best, of all time. It changed the life of millions of young teenagers who felt more connected with Simon's introverted style of music rather than with Bob Dylan's protest music. Simon was the first to use poetry as a style of songwriting, which has been a prominent feature of current songwriters. This style started to develop at a young age when Simon teamed up with high school friend,
and Art’s, which drove them to releasing their own music under the stage name Tom & Jerry assigned to them by their record studio. “Hey, Schoolgirl”, their first official recording, was a relative hit reaching #49 on the Billboard chart and selling over 100,000 copies. Despite their initial success, the group reached a dead-end music-wise as nothing they produced received a reception as positive as that of their first song and decided to go separate ways when they chose to attend different universities

A Prayer of Blessing Lord, I pray for all those who are in the extremely difficult place of having to choose to step out onto turbulent water or remain where they are.

communication between people and its premises is that the people using and reading the symbol have the same conventions. This is because what a symbol means is built upon conventions and this may differ within social groups and cultures. Nichols uses water as not only a prop, but more importantly a symbol in The Graduate several times throughout the film. The first time is when Ben is sitting in front of the aquarium at his graduation party (See shot list: shot 1). As mention earlier, the composition
flared beyond the grotto. Lush lowlands rolled a stormy ocean. Mounds of tumbling soil dotted in sparse trees filled the gaps where tides would swell as domed mountains that peaked to clouded heights. The crumpled plains surged with countless veins, water reflecting skies of a perfect blue and quenching the thirst of flowered meadows. Our trail lead a winding route around each hill, a serpentine pattern through the grassland's currents—breaking waves of ridges through wide-open tunnels, and passing
enormous traffic issues with an excessive amount of passengers travelling between the Asia and the Europe sides of the city every day (“Istanbul”).

bottled up inside of him for so long, that he sometimes explodes with little cause. Although he appears soft on the outside, it is the build up of emotion within that causes him to behave so irregularly and explode without warning. Perry Smith's troubled personality comes as a result of the polarities of his two sides. As an experienced psychiatrist, I have dealt with many cases such as this case involving Perry Smith. I have diagnosed personality disorders such as schizophrenia, and I believe that
Illegal war in Kosovo President Clinton addressed the people of the United States on June 10, 1999 over the United States’ mission in Kosovo. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, which makes this war a civil war. Highlights of his speech outline the goals that he wanted to obtain in this Humanitarian intervention, as he called it.

The weight of evidence to date demonstrates that halfway house are cost-effective and more humane regarding expenditure of the public funds when compared to institutional placement and besides halfway houses have been a part of correction since the early 1800s. (Latessa & Smith, 2011) Halfway houses address devastating economic and psychological effects of prisonization on most inmates.

for other nations troubled by famines. For 30 hours we stayed together as a group talking, reading, praying, playing, sleeping... and drinking only water. One year when I participated, we served at a homeless soup kitchen in Salinas during the remaining three hours of our fast which was a real stretch for us seeing the food right in front of us and not eating it. This really helped us identify with hunger and see how the money we raised was being used. Both years we raised over $500 for World Vision

Dryness and Spiritual Decay in The Waste Land T.S. Eliot peppers "The Waste Land," his apocalyptic poem, with images of modern aridity and inarticulacy that contrast with fertile allusions to previous times. Eliot's language details a brittle era, rife with wars physical and sexual, spiritually broken, culturally decaying, dry and dusty. His references to the Fisher King and mythical vegetation rituals imply that the 20th-century world is in need of a Quester to irrigate the land. "The Waste
invented by Tayari Jones, who was in search of a new title for her novel. The word “silver” refers to girls that are naturally beautiful and have no need for makeup. The term “silver girl” comes from a classic Simon and Garfunkel Song, “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” The lyrics are “Sail on silver girl,” which refers to Simon’s first wife who’s hair was beginning to become silver (Cohen 1). This unplanned third verse of the song gave Jones inspiration for her title. She had originally named her book

Each considered to be each artist’s magnum opus, the two paintings display unprecedented skill, as well as vast similarities and differences to communicate the power of the natural world over humans and their civilization. At the same time, Hokusai’s and Van Gogh’s idiosyncratic and internal natures are reflected through their respective works and, moreover, are indicative of the artistic movements in which they produced art.
