Peter was born in Queens, New York in 1958. He began drawing at an early age and was inspired by the EC comic book artists such as Frank Frazetta. The fusion of humor and darkness has made a lasting impression on his style. Chuck Jones, the cartoonist for Bugs Bunny was also a defining influence. He attended Parsons School of Design from 1976-1980. He attributes most of what he learned through self-discovery and from his other colleague’s point of views. He was introduced to the 19th Century and Contemporary American and European illustrations.

Peter’s international traveling experiences are what I believe to have carried him through his career. Though he attended two great Universities, he got his best education from the real world experiences he obtained through travel. Peter grew up as a small town boy who had a passion for outdoors. By traveling, he was able to find his true style and colors; those aspects are what guided him through his 40 year career as an impactful and memorable architect. At age 67, he tragically passed away from a heart attack while cross country skiing in January of 2009. Though he left the earth that day, he left doing something he loved. And what he left behind was far more vast than any of his monumental creations.
Europeans during the 16th Century had made unique technological and intellectual advancements, they expanded their knowledge and continued to spread their dominance across the world. These advancements perpetuated the idea that their race was superior to other races and that they had the right to hold other groups of people accountable for what they saw as transgressions. Europeans felt the need to control and make sure that all groups of people were following their moral state of conducts. In History of A Voyage to the Land Of Brazil, Jean De Lery introduces the main motivation of the Europeans journey to the Americas by emphasizing that it was influenced by Christian values ( Lery 3). This shows how the concept of Christianity is important
Carle had a happy childhood in America. However, he moved to Germany with his parents when he was six years old and attended the prestigious art school Akademie der Bildenden Künste.

Ted was reluctant to have anyone animate his books, so he wanted it done carefully and well. Chuck Jones and Ted Geisel first met doing the Private Snafu cartoons about a goof-up soldier made by Warner Bros. for the army between 1943 and 1945.
What if World War II was won by the Nazi party? In the book The Man in the High Castle, by Philip K. Dick, he gives three different plots of what would happen in the perspective of several different people. One of the plots is a German spy named Baynes tries to give information to a Japanese spy, while he barely succeeds. Another plot is of two men named Frank Frink and Ed in their fight for business against Wyndam-Matson. The final plot is about a woman named Juliana Frink and a Nazi assassin named Joe go on a road trip to meet a book author but end up having Juliana kill Joe. Though the plots show a theme of society and class, each person has their own view on civilization.

Martin was born in London, England in 1956. From an early age, he spent a great deal of time drawing. As a child, his influences behind his illustrations were movies and his toy soldiers. He attempted to capture the action he witnessed from the movies and from playing with his soldiers in his drawings. His sketches came out as crowds of stick figures.

Many settlers believed that the natives were savages as were not as advanced, but were all the natives actually savages? The stories “La Relacion” and “Travels of Marco Polo” are two different stories that have contrast as well as many similarities. These stories both show how the English settlers thought of the natives, how both settlers were apprehensive, but how different they were with the way the natives treated the settlers.

December 6, 1989, was one of the most horrific days in Canadian history, that is the date of the Montréal Massacre. A lone gunman with a deep hatred for females walked into the university that day, separated the males from the females and murdered 14 women and injured 13 other people then took his own life.

I did my project on Amerigo Vespucci who was born March 9, 1454 in Florence, Italy. Vespucci was the 3rd son of Nastagio and Lisabetta Vespucci. Amerigo accepted mercantile life where he was hired as a clerk by the Florentine commercial house of Medici. In 1492 Medici sent the 38yr old Vespucci and Donato as confidential agents to look into the Medici branch office where the managers and dealings became suspicious. In 1495, by the intrigues of Bishop Juan Rodriguez, the Crown of Castile broke their monopoly deal with Christopher Columbus and they began to hand out licenses to other navigators for the West Indies. Shortly after this time, around 1495-1496 Vespucci became engaged as the executor of Giannotto Berardi, who was an Italian merchant
Short stories are often written in order to quickly sum up an experience or point out a relevant moral or lesson. Numerous authors prefer to express their own interests or opinions through their short stories. Henry Van Dyke guided his own writing by referring to his worldly and spiritual views aside from his interests and hobbies. Due to his appreciation of nature and the time period during which he lived, Henry Van Dyke relied heavily on themes of death and regret in an effort to convey detailed and subtle cautionary tales.
