BEETHOVEN
Ludwig van Beethoven was born 1770 in Bonn Germany. His mother
was a singer in the service; his father was a court musician that had little
motivation and a drinking problem. His father noticed that Beethoven had a
gift at a young age, and began teaching him piano and violin. But
Beethoven was a hard learner, he was self-involved and impatient. This
probably led to why he was a loner and why he only went to academic
school for three years. Beethoven’s father wasn’t the only one who saw
Beethoven’s talent, Gottlob Neefe (a German Organist) become young
Beethoven’s mentor. Gottlob thought Beethoven was the next Mozart, so he
sent him to Vienna to meet him. But Beethoven’s mother got sick so he had
to come back home before he met him formally. By the time he came back
to Vienna, Mozart had died so Beethoven sought help from Hadyn, another
German composer. He became Beethoven’s second mentor and taught him
new styles of music.
Beethoven did his first shows in Vienna in 1795. He was the first composer
that was not supported by wealthy persons; instead Beethoven supported
himself with money from selling his music. By 1778, Beethoven started
hearing humming and whistling sound in his ears, and it got worse. A few
years later, he became completely deaf. Although he was deaf he could still
write music. He finished his first symphony in 1800.
In 1802, Beethoven became depressed and thought a lot about suicide. He
went to a small village in Germany where he stayed for a few years. The
next couple of years Beethoven created his most impressing masterpieces.
In 1812 he had completed over twelve of his best works and he was known
worldwide. But after this Beethoven did not release any music for awhile
and he got in trouble with the law over some royalties to songs. But in 1817
he began composing again and he did through 1824. In 1824 Beethoven
composed two of his most memorable pieces, the Ninth Symphony, and Ode
to Joy, these were two of Beethoven’s best compositions. The first time
Beethoven conducted the Ninth Symphony, the crowd, at the end of it was at
a tremendous applause. And Beethoven was still with his back turned on the
podium until one of the “soloists” turned him around.
In 1820 Beethoven won custody of his nephew Karl since his brother had
The conflict between Antigone and Creon arises when she decides she must honor her brother's death and gives him burial. (line 72) "I myself will bury him," she expressed to Ismene. Once Antigone has buried her brother, she is brought before King Creon to explain her actions. (p. 177) Sophocles presents the two sides of the conflict, moral law versus city law; Antigone expresses the side of moral law and Creon expresses his side with the laws of the city. Antigone begins by telling her sister Ismene it was her duty as a sister that she should bury her dead brother. It is a duty she owes to her family. She also expresses that the king will not "keep me from my own." In other words, duty to the family is above her duty to the city. Antigone also tells Ismene that she is willing to become a criminal and die for her beliefs. She believes her death will not be in vain, and it is honoring her family; and the gods, in turn, will recognize...
Brad Moore, a famous athlete once said, “Pride would be a lot easier to swallow if it didn’t taste so bad.” In Sophocles’ well known Greek tragedy, Antigone, the main character undergoes immense character development. Antigone transforms from being stubborn and underestimated to courageous and open-minded. In reality, it is Antigone’s insular persistence that leads to her ultimate decline in the play as well as others around her. After the death of her two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, Creon becomes the new ruler of Thebes. With this, he grants Eteocles an honorable funeral service for his brave fighting. Claiming that Polynices was a traitor, he shows complete refusal to grant Polynices a respectable and worthy service. Clearly disagreeing with Creon’s inexcusable demands, Antigone declares she will bury Polynices herself so that his soul can be at peace. Entirely aware of the consequences and dangers of this action, which include death, she goes forward vowing her love for her family. Antigone shows strength and determination towards her brother. However, her growing sense of pride leads to her downfall as she sacrifices everything for her family. Antigone develops into an admirable character in which she portrays her defiance and courage, pride and open mindedness, and sense of moral righteousness to show vital character growth as the play progresses.
At first she tries to convince her sister Ismene to join her in her plans, but Ismene refuses, she is not willing to give up her life at all, when Antigone is not only risking her life but also her marriage with Haemon. When Antigone meets Creon she proves her strength and spiritual power. Some say she is not a saint but a martyr. She combats Creon with insolence towards the civil authority, following always the laws of heaven.
After Oedipus dies Polyneices and Eteocles is supposed to share the throne. Eteocles never let Polyneices on the throne. So therefore, Eteocles gets mad and attacks Thebes (Sophocles). In the after math of all of the chaos, both brothers end up dying. Antigone’s uncle, Creon, announces that Polyneices not to be allowed proper burial services. Not caring what her uncle says, Antigone proceeds to bury her brother (“Antigone”).
Antigone was a selfless person with pride as a strong characteristic of her personality. She possibly had feelings of loneliness and anger from the way society has looked upon her family from their past. It took a strong willed person who has no fear of the repercussions to stand up to a king as she did. To make everything all the worst she stood up to a king who was her Uncle and she being a female back in those time, standing up and speaking out for herself was not heard of.
Our old friends Cheerios have realized that they can have both generational marketing and segmentation marketing; of sorts. They can target market a specific generation which in my example would be children learning to eat on their own as we have almost all learned to eat with Cheerios little O’s. This is a form of segmentation marketing where Cheerios has selected toddlers as their target and then more specifically positioned their product to be attractive to the purchaser for the consumer (Solomon, Marshall & Stuart, 2012). While in time past, such generational marketing was the norm, it may not be such a great idea as consumers are more discerning and the ability of website advertising analytics can deliver a much better idea of exactly
Her sister Ismene warned Antigone by exclaiming, "Sister please, please! Remember how our father dies: hated, in disgrace, wrapped in horror of himself, his own hand stabbing out his sight. And how his mother-wife in one, twisted off her earthly days with a cord. And thirdly how our two brothers in a single day each achieved for each a suicidal Nemesis.” This has already given Antigone the mindset that even the Gods are against her will. She is also up against a great foe in fighting that of Creon's edict. Ismene said this: "The rest, if we defy our sovereign's edict and his power. Remind ourselves that we are women, and such not made to fight with men. For might unfortunately is right and makes us bow to things like this and worse.” Antigone sees herself as not only one who can defy the power of the Gods but the power of the state. Thus she would be up against a force greater than her own.
Hegel’s perspective of Sophocles’ Antigone is accurate in stating that at the center of the tragedy there is a collision between one-sided positions rather than the collapse of one tragic hero. This is best exemplified in Sophocles’ Antigone when two factions battle over the proper way to dispose of a person who was both a family member and an enemy of the state. Looking at each standpoint, both embody some form of selflessness and good. King Kreon was acting on behalf of the people to protect the kingdom from an enemy while Antigone was acting for her family by trying to honor her brother with a proper burial. When analyzed from different perspectives, both King Kreon and Antigone’s actions are equally
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven are two of the greatest composers ever to write music. Both men lived in the early 18th and 19th century, but their music and influences are still felt today. The men faced similar experiences, yet they both lead very different lives. All together the pieces that these men composed amounts to over 300 published, and unpublished works of art. The people of their time period often had mixed feelings about these men, some “complained that Mozart’s music presented them with too many ideas and that his melodies moved from one to the next faster than audiences could follow, yet the ideas themselves seem effortless and natural, clear and unforced.” (Bonds 210-211) Beethoven’s criticisms ranged from ‘genius’ to grim dislike. Mozart and Beethoven were influenced by things going on around them such as: love, nature, and the Enlightenment.
Caroline and Jennifer said that ‘Market segmentation is a crucial marketing strategy. Its aim is to identify and delineate market segments or set of buyers which would then become targets for the company’s marketing plans.’ (Tynan and Drayton, 1987) There are many ways to segment the market, such as age, region, environment, psychology and wages (Hall, Jones and Raffo, 2010).
Antigone had good reasons for her actions. She did obey the rules of her gods, which were that any dead body must be given a proper burial, with libatations. This would prevent the soul from being lost between worlds forever, along with wine as an offering to the gods (page 518- side note). Nor could Antigone let Creon's edicts go against her morals (lines 392-394). She chooses to share her love, not her hate (line 443). She couldn't bare to see one family member be chosen over the other because of what a king had decided was right, which she contravened. Why condemn somebody who stood up for what they believed in and is now dead for it anyway? Bringing homage to the family was very important to Antigone (line 422-423).
Third, problem-oriented policing entails a greater and closer involvement by the public in police work. Communities must be consulted to ensure that police are addressing the...
I just started YCET and so far it has been amazing. We have meetings every other week. The main thing we do is plan confirmation retreats for kids in the 8th grade. Last summer, I was selected for a retreat that I attended that taught me more about what YCET did. Since then I had too fill out an extensive application and go to an interview. Long story short, I was accepted into the program. At each meeting (so far only two) we start with a bit of an ice breaker to help get to know each other. There are probably around ten new members (myself included) and the entire group is about thirty people. So, as I said before, YCET is all about planning retreats for confirmation kids. I first learned about YCET when they organized my confirmation
The target market will be specifically made up of males and females ranging in ages from 18- 45. This segment was selected as many people younger than this age are still having their meals selected for them whereas those who are older than this bracket are seeking a healthier and more holistic lifestyle. For secondary target markets healthier products should be provided as well as products for children
