- 26373: American Impressionism
- ... wrote, What comparison is there between the garden landscapes of England or France and the noble scenery of the Hudson, or the wild witchery of some of our unpolluted lakes and streams?

It is interesting to note that while dozens of Americans were studying in Paris in the mid-1800 s, thousands came there in the post-war years.

- 26374: Presonal Writing: My First Impression of My Teacher Miss Vicki
- ... an unapproachable and distant person. That was in the first year of High School. She was my Literature teacher then. During my first year in school, she struck terror in my heart. And everyone else's of course. The mere mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent. The birds stopped screeching. Even the earth felt still. The omniscent presence of rumours stating that she didn't like Junior High students was not much of a help. Nevertheless, the 2 years of Junior High passed by rather quickly. Soon, I was promoted to Senior High class. I had worked hard and gotten ...
- 26375: What Family Is To Me
- ... The two ideas go hand in hand. My parents respected me enough to tell me that I was adopted, instead of lying to me and having me find out later in life that I wasn't their biological son.

- 26376: Personal Writing: The Evaluation of My Coaches
- ... coaches that came in pointing out specific good points about the game was my favorite. The attitude of any one coach was different if we won the game or if we lost the game.

- 26377: Hieronymus Bosch
- ... period) Hieronymus Bosch was an extreme artist and an extreme pessemist.His art gave vivid expression to the profound anxieties that troubled the human mind. Bosch was obsessed with sin and the torments of hell s fire. His paintings told tales of the snares laid by the devil for the unwary human soul on its perilous journey through life. His powerful imagination created haunted worlds where grotesque monsters and hideous demons frolicked about; twisted and gnarled structures filled the backround; distorted human souls being pitchforked into hell; fruit and eggs endowed with arms and legs; giant birds and fornicating humans scattered throughout fiery landscapes. Bosch s use of imagery was strong. The central panel of The Last Judgement is an especially hellish landscape, infested with a swarm of devils, burning pits, furnaces, bizarre and twisted constructions, and instruments of torture.
