Odilon Redon Research Paper

The person I am doing for my essay is Wesley Isenhour (my dad). He has a wife named Liane and two kids named Macy and Maddy. He works for the United States postal service and does reviews on post offices all around North Carolina. The reason I chose my dad is because he always makes people smile and makes everyone's day better. He is one of the best people in my life and is always there for me. I hope you enjoy my essay on Wesley Isenhour.

Anchorage, Alaska- The Alaska Grizzlies delighted fans by selecting Fairbanks University football star, Jeff Knutson last night in the first round of the NFL draft. This came after trading their sixth and seventh round picks to Las Vegas to move up to 12th from 19th. After last year’s disappointing loss in the playoffs, general manager Jack Storer thought that it was worth it to move up to get the fan favorite running back.

Christopher Matthewson also known as “Big Six”, “the Christian gentlemen”, “Matty”, and “Gentleman’s Hurler” played Major League Baseball and was a right handed pitcher and played seventeen seasons with the New York Giants. He was voted the most dominant pitcher in the history of baseball and is ranked in the top ten in many key pitching groups, including wins, shutouts, and ERA, if taking 19th century pitchers statistics into account. Otherwise Matthewson and Walter Johnson would hold the distinction of being the only two pitchers placed in the top ten in both career wins and ERA. In 1936 Christopher got called to be into the Major League Baseball Hall Of Fame, as one of its first couple players. (Wikipedia)

Red Rodney was a famous trumpeter and bandleader in the 20th century. He was born in Philadelphia on the 27th of September 1927 and was known as a child prodigy when he was young (Voce, 2011). At the beginning, Red Rodney taught himself the trumpet and later he went to a school named “Jules E. Masterbaum Vocational” in his hometown Philadelphia to study trumpet (Schwab, 2010). Red started playing with Jerry World Orchestra only at the age of 15 and then he also played with Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey and Gene Krupa (Chesky Records, n.d.). Red’s life was changed because of Dizzy Gillespie, who was Red’s hero when he was a teenager. Red was able to play a gig with Dizzy Gillespie one time at the Down Beat Club and he left Dizzy a lasting impression.

When Bobby Adedge was 18 years old, he had already won two Olympic gold medals. By the time he was twenty-two, he had been a well-known goalie on a prestigious professional hockey team. He had married an even more famous supermodel, who had her own budding career as an actress. He was thought to be smart, having invented the first dissolvable hockey puck, which was great for planet Earth and recycling, but not-so-good when hockey games went into overtime, the puck often melting onto the ice before the game was over. His inventor-phase was short-lived.

What was once a barren area full of trees and grass was soon a bustling city with over 30,000 people. Buildings and houses were around every corner with signs hanging up everywhere. Many of these signs were secret messages to the residents of Oak Ridge to keep what they saw, heard, and did there a secret. This entire city was built faster than any other and it was all for one reason; to build the most destructive weapon in the world. The atomic bomb.

Clendinnen explains why the captor wore the victim’s chalk and down of his kin and why he cried for the victim. She says that the captor did this because the captive was going to die a lonely death among strangers, since he was from outside Tenochtitlan. Even though, the captor’s kin ate from the captive, the captor didn’t do so, because he said he wouldn’t eat “his own flesh” since he too would probably die on the stone and others will eat his flesh in another city. Also, she interprets that the Aztecs didn’t necessarily believe that their were killing the warrior as he was before the rituals. Instead, all the preparation that had gone into this day, from the cutting of the warrior lock to the mock heart excisions, had made him more sacred, and changed him from a warrior into a victim. Once the warrior lock of hair was cut, it was believed that the warrior made his

George Edward Alcorn relates to Martin Luther King because he owned up to Martin’s expectations. Martin didn’t want people to be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character. So, George invented something that changed the world so people thought of him differently. No one judged him after that because he made almost everyone’s life better by inventing the x-ray. When I popped my hip out of place I had to get a lot of x-rays. So, it helped the doctors know what was wrong so they could fix it. That’s how it affected my life and how he improved everyone else’s life too. I interact with several different people from a ton of religions and from people that live in town from people that live on a farm. I love that I can experience

Jolson wanted to become a performer because of the singing he did at a young age. Asa Yoelson [who is known to most people as Al Jolson] was born in Serednik Russia (which is now Lithuania) in either 1885 or 1886. At the age of seven, he immigrated to Washington D.C, where pretty soon after his mother died (Friedwald 249-250) .

[Even though] Jolson’s Father, Rabbi Yoelson, disapproved all music that all sung, it didn’t stop

African-Americans in the South after the Civil War were new to the concept of freedom, yet that very small two syllable word meant a lot to them. Slaves were not considered as a piece of property that could be used and abused by their slaveholders anymore. Slaves families were separated by the effects of slavery, so the freed slaves immediately tried to reunite with their families. News finally reached Texas about slaves being freed on June 19th, 1865, also called Juneteenth. Juneteenth is considered one of the oldest known celebrations that commemorated the end of slavery in the United States. The news of the Emancipation Proclamation did not reach Texas until about two years after its public awareness because there was little Union

In the same year of 982 C.E, Erik the Red landed upon Greenland. They sailed around the southern tip of this newly discovered land before settling on an island at the mouth of Eriksfjord, which he named after himself. His small group of men explored the new country from north to west for two years, and chose Eriksfjord for his manor, which he named Brattahlid, translated to “steep slope”. He then named this new land “Greenland”, in the hope of attracting settlers. In 985 C.E Erik the Red led another expedition to Greenland, this time with a large fleet of 25 ships and with around 500 men and women, with livestock and enough materials to found a new colony. In the year 1000 C.E, Erik the Red’s son, Leif Eriksson, although Erik didn’t convert

Sometimes language is not enough to communicate with people, and sometimes you have to be able to see to understand. This is the situation that Geryon finds himself in throughout the majority of his life as narrated in the “Autobiography of Red”. Geryon’s autobiography is mostly narrated through pictures and sculptures and rarely through verbal descriptions. This creates an interesting dynamic throughout the story which often times causes confusion in trying to decipher the meaning of some of the pictures. Geryon’s use of his camera is a tool used by Anne Carson to communicate the confusion and chaos that Geryon felt throughout the story. The camera depicts the type of life that Geryon lives throughout the “Autobiography of Red”. The
