An American in Paris Once upon a time there was an American man named Jerry Mulligan who lived in Paris. When he was discharged from the army he decided to become a painter and continue to live in Paris so he could just paint and study art. Paris is a place that a painter or artist is inspired. This is why Jerry loves it so much. Jerry lives 2 floors above a café in a little cramped apartment. But he is not complaining, he is lighthearted and fun. Jerry is popular with the children on the block
made sense and I understood why he was talking about it. Funny enough, I had just heard the song for the first time a few days ago. “It was the spring before I turned twenty-nine, I think,” the old man muttered as he stared down the length of the Seine river, “The song had just come out and I should've been a young man hopeless in love with my fiance, exploring all these alleys and streets in the city of lights and love, or whatever you wish to call it, without a care in the world. Back in my younger
open spaces. It also came out of the need for more efficient housing, wider streets to prevent riots and the building of a sewer system to stop the spread of diseases. The master behind Napoleon’s visions was Baron Von Haussmann, prefect of the Seine. He created the Paris we know today with spacious boulevards and beautiful sights. The redevelopment by Napoleon III and Haussmann consisted of three major parts: streets and buildings, parks, and services. The first major problem with the city
Rembrandt van Rijin, Caravaggio, Raphael, and Pablo Picasso just to name a few. I observed many European paintings in the 18th to 19th century; I chose to discuss the artwork by the incredible Claude-Oscar Monet. Claude-Oscar Monet’s Mouth of the Seine at Honfleur, 1865 is an oil painting of a seascape on a canvas. The Parisian artist is considered one of the most influential artists in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Monet became affiliated with numerous artists throughout his
At daybreak, August 19th, 1942, the Allies began their raid on the French coastal city of Dieppe occupied by Germany. The raid has extreme Canadian significance, as it pertains to 5000 Canadians involved in the campaign, 3,350 of which became casualties and 916 died on the bloodstained beach at Dieppe. The Dieppe raid is widely considered a failure on every level and has left a dreadful mark in Canadian military history because of how poorly it panned out. Operation Jubilee remains one of the
The original name of “the Battle of Dieppe” was “Operation Jubilee.” By the time that the raid took place, the allies were hugely depressed because Germany took over the entire Europe; in addition, Britain failed at the battle in Africa, and the German combat planes threatened the British land. Further, Moscow, the capital of the eastern USSR, was taken over by the German army and so the USSR encountered a total collapse. As the condition became so bad, Britain came up with an idea: in order to threat
to suppress all creativity like a seine. During “The Purse Seine”, the suppression of creativity is an ongoing battle. In “The Purse Seine”, Robinson Jeffers tells the audience about the helplessness of humans to the oppressive government using metaphors and other literary devices. Symbolism is used throughout “The Purse Seine” to show that something as simple as a closing net can relate to a bigger picture. The most notable symbol in this poem is the actual seine. This net represents the government
Alex sehr krank ist, entscheidet der Sohn sich, als seine Mutter aus dem Koma erwacht, ihr nicht zu sagen, dass die Berliner Mauer gefallen ist. Alex beschließt einen Mikrokosmos der DDR in ihrem Schlafzimmer zu erschaffen. Er tut dies auf unterschiedliche kreative Art und Weise. Zum Beispiel macht er falsche Fernsehnachrichten für seine Mutter. In diesem Aufsatz wird argumentiert, dass dies es ihm erlaubt, die Geschichte umzuschreiben und seine Ostalgie für die Deutschen Demokratischen Republik
In the 13th century, Paris' main water supply was the Seine river, but in the summer the Seine river would dry up, leaving Paris with a water problem. To fix this, engineering monks built aqueducts under the city of Paris. These aqueducts would transfer clean spring to fountains in the center of Paris. Citizens would them go

crowded streets which were, in some cases, the same paths as had been "naturally selected" by wandering cows in the past were barely passing for the streets of a quarter million commuters. In 1853, Napoleon III named Georges Haussmann "prefect of the Seine," and put him in charge of redeveloping Paris' woefully inadequate infrastructure (Kagan, The Western Heritage Vol. II, pp. 564-565). This was the first and biggest example of city planning to fulfill industrial needs that existed in Western Europe
The Rivers of France The Rhône system The Rhône is the great river of the southeast. Rising in the Alps, it passes through Lake Geneva (French: Lac Léman) to enter France, which has 324 miles of its total length of 505 miles. At Lyon it receives its major tributary, the Saône. In eastern France the direction of the main rivers is predominantly north-south through the Alpine furrow. The regime of the Rhône is complex. Near Lyon the Rhône and its important Isère and Drôme tributaries, draining

the sixteenth-century as the private art collection of King Francis I, it is now one of the most famous museums in the world. The Louvre is located in the heart of Paris, in France. To be more precise, it is located on the Right Bank of the river Seine, on the first arrondissement. It houses over one million pieces of art, whose time periods range from antiquity to the mid-nineteenth century. The Louvre is perhaps most famous for its unique architecture, a mix of modern (the infamous pyramid) and
The poems: “The Geese,” “The Purse-Seine,” “Wild Geese,” and “A Noiseless Patient Spider” contain symbolism. Each symbol differs in each poem, signifying different ideas. However, they all share a certain bond, which is the use of animals. The poems are dealt with animals that explain, not directly but indirectly, a crucial point in the poem. The uses of animals in the poems of Jorie Graham, Robinson Jeffers, Mary Oliver, and Walt Whitman have a symbolic connection to human affairs. The poets do
population has fallen to an estimated 36% of its already depleted 1970 level1. Originally, fish were caught by rod and reel, one by one. During the 1980s commercial fisheries developed techniques, such as the use of long lines, drift nets and purse seines to catch thousands of these animals at a time. These techniques have obliterated the population of Bluefin in just a few decades. They also wreak havoc on the ocean killing millions of sea turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins- pretty much every living

Paris is indisputably the main symbol of France and the heart of French culture, history, and contemporary life, but it is only outside of Paris that one can begin to appreciate the true abundance and diversity of this land. Its scenery rivals any in the world, from the French Alps to the rugged Brittany coast, from the forests of the Dordogne to the wheat fields of the Midi, from the vineyards of the Loire Valley to the sunny Rivera. Its geography lends itself to the products, from its world-famous
