I chose to watch the movie, An Affair to Remember. This movie was released in 1957, and the music was composed by Harry Warren.

It was played much throughout, and later sung by the main character Terry McKay. The music in this film is there to provide a sense of what the characters are feeling. Vocals aren’t always a part of the music, however they do appear

Nothing in love goes smoothly all the time, there are always hiccups along the way. This is the key factor that makes these stories and other great love stories
The Great War had women’s first contributions as nurses drawn from the ranks of religious orders. Almost 3,000 women served as what was dubbed “Nursing Sisters” (Veterans Affairs Canada: Canada Remembers Women in the Canadian Military) with the Canadian Amy Medical Corps.

she reflects on her life, past, and what she has learned from her affairs. One line strikes the reader: "everything was a lie!" This avowal can be applied to many different situations in the novel, and can be said to be the chief lesson Flaubert wishes to incorporate. In this passage, Emma remembers her past, a time when she was more innocent and perhaps less preoccupied with her troubles. She remembers her time in the convent as a young girl-a time when she was happy

The coral paperweight primarily symbolizes Winston’s past yet comes to foreshadow his future. Winston spends most of his time dwelling on the past, specifically trying to recall how society lived before Big Brother. Mr

animals that were capable of seeing wrongness in the actions of the leaders did not express their opinions publicly, when they had a chance.
