He also was interested in music, so his mother taught him how to play a violin that would help him to relax, and think more carefully on problems.
When he was ten, he made a decision that he changed his life. He decided that he would not be as other students and go along with what teachers were teaching, he began to questi .....

During the time that Bach was developing his talents as a composer, Germany was going through what most of the rest of Europe was .....

Well, he was known as " the blues boy from Beale Street," later shortened to B.B. "Riley B. King is the world's preeminent blues guitarist. There is hardly a rock, pop, or blues player anywhere who doesn't owe him something." Frank Sinatra and Nat Cole are two who use the "B.B. King style of blues." Finally, I leave you with a quote.

Babe Ruth

Baseball to my way of thinking, is the greatest single force working for Americanization. No other game appeals so much to the foreign born youngsters and nothing, not even the schools, teaches the American spirit so qui .....

Babe Ruth 2
.... repeatingly bought her gifts.
In this juxtaposition essay I have discussed both sides of Babe Ruth and the examples and possibilities of why he was this way. In defiance of his incorrigibility, Babe had a sweet heart which definitely over comes his hedonistic ways in certain situations. “That man is good who does good to others; if he suffers on account of the good he does, he is very good; if he suffers at the hands of those to whom he has done good, then his goodness is so great that it could be .....

Babe Ruth 3
.... on the field, was an excellent pitcher and had the ability to hit the ball very well. By his late teens Ruth had developed into a major league baseball prospect. On February 27, 1914, at the age of nineteen, the Baltimore Orioles signed Babe to his first professional baseball contract. Because Ruth’s parents had signed over custody of him to St. Mary’s, he was supposed to remain at the school until he was twenty-one. To go around this, Dunn, the man who signed him, became Ruth’s l .....

Bach
.... of such a young age.
Bach suffered early trauma when his parents died in 1695. He went to go live with his older brother, Johann Christoph, who also was a professional organist at Ohrdruf. He continued his younger brother's education on that instrument, as well as introducing him to the harpsichord. The rigorous training on these instruments combined with Bach’s masterful skill paid off for him at an early age. After several years of studying with his older brother, he received a scholarshi .....

Baron De Montesquieu
.... However, he also felt that women did have the ability to govern. In this way, Montesquieu argued that women were too weak to be in control at home, but that their calmness and gentleness would be helpful qualities in making decisions in government.
Montesquieu argued that the best economy would reflect a good government. Government in which was balanced among three group officials is what he called the best. A good model of this would be like the United State’s government today. He call .....

Beethoven
.... “strong frame,” and “carriage
proudly erect.”(Cooper, 383)
Beethoven lived an interesting and exciting life filled with drama,
revolution and innovation. His composition ability was partially influenced
by his upbringing; his father’s push to become a musician and his above
average education. Beethoven, however, had a gift, or a natural knack, for
this form of art which allowed him to become one of the greatest composers
of all time.

In 1820 Beethoven won custody of his nephew Karl since his brother had died in 1815. Although Beethoven wanted to treat Karl like a son, he was neglected because of Beethoven’s temper and him working on his music. At this time Beethoven was .....

Ben Franklin

Industry: You must take care of precious time because once a moment has passed, it is lost forever and can never be replayed or relived. Time is valuable so you should not waste it.
Sincerity: “Use not hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.” Franklin believes another part of being morally perfect is not offending other people when it is not necessary. Be nice.
Justice: “Wrong non by doing injuries, or omitting the benef .....
