during the French invasion of Russia. All the things necessary for the army to function had to be transported by cart, there being no railways. Considering the vast distances involved, it is no wonder that supplies were often short. However, the Grande Armee was trained to live off the land, and so the lack of supplies cannot be seen as a decisive factor in the defeat. Rather than causing the defeat, the Logistics problem instead made it more costly, leading to the deaths of many more soldiers than
This report is about Sarah Emma Edmonds December 1841-september5, 1898. She was brave, and respected. She is 1 of the 400 women who fought in the Civil War.

Sarah was born in New Brunswick some time in December 1841 to Isaac Edmonds from Scotland and Elizabeth Leeper of Ireland. She was raised in Magaguadavic. She was the youngest of six four sisters and one brother

Iconography and Iconology of an Advertisement Looking at the art of the past, we see many images depicting nude women. From Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus to Ingres’s Grande Odelisque, many artists like the idea of painting a woman in the nude in an interesting pose.

Such is the technique of pointillism, created by nineteenth century artist Georges Seurat, where points of pure color are grouped together to give off the appearance of a solid figure. My absolute favorite of his works is the popular "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", a large mural depicting a social gathering in a park setting. The artist's dedication to use this technique is truly inspiring and somewhat unbelievable. Nevertheless, this piece of art has inspired me to attain perseverance and work to achieve

The Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is a piece full of rich colors that reflect both the time period and the artist’s impressionist style. This composition not only conveys a leisurely gathering of people, but also expresses the changing French social structure of the time due to the industrial revolution. To portray these themes Renoir uses, shape, space, color and texture. Shape is seen in the modeled figures and bottles, and space is created by overlapping of the bodies

propuestas del rol que los sueños pueden tomar en una obra literaria. En el caso de Borges, de una manera sutil y que podría pasar desapercibida, centra su historia en cómo la interpretación de los sueños pueden ser la clave para descubrir el más grande secreto que un ser humano pueda imaginar, a la vez que nos muestra como la escritura (representada por los sueños) es capaz de llevarnos a este proceso de descubrimiento tan personal e intrínsico. Cortázar, por su parte, utiliza los sueños como una
