Charlemagne couldn’t read or write as well as others he could speak other languages such as Latin and Greek among other languages”(Charlemagne). Charlemagne had a good personality most of the time. “Some of his titles was King of Franks, King of Lombards, he was also generally considered the first Holy Roman Emperor”(About). “Some people refer to him as the Father of Europe”(History). “He was usually laughing, joking, and singing” (Donn). “Charlemagne was a big guy.

It is known that the “perfect guy” persona should not be trusted, no matter how he may be characterized. Agatha Christie’s novel And Then There Were None perfectly illustrates this through the character Phillip Lombard. Phillip Lombard, portrayed as the hero, the man who will save everyone and kill the murderer, is one of the worst on the island. Because Wargrave’s goal was to kill those who were the least guilty first, he exposes and deals with Phillip in the best way possible. The guilt, as a result

San Francisco, Lombard Street is a piece painted by Tomas Kinkade, a popular American artist. Kinkade painted the timeless scene of Lombard Street in 2002. Kinkade’s goal was to exhibit city life along with the endless possibilities it brings. The 25.5” x 34” work is exhibited in my own home. Kinkade used acid-free, premium grade paper to display his artwork on. He also implemented his own DNA in the paint to prevent any sort of forgery. 2.

In the 1900s, the Jazz Music outbreak was in full swing. There were many Jazz musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory, and King Oliver who gave the world their soulful tunes by using musical instruments. A few years later, in 1920, the Jazz poetry movement started when several poets began to challenge each other’s rhythm and style. Both poetry and Jazz had many similarities which resulted in merging the two art forms, making jazz poetry. T.S. Eliot, E.E. Cummings, and Ezra Pound were just a handful

What brings into existence any great work of literature? Is it a natural gift, artistic vision, dumb luck, or a little bit of all three? As I was writing this paper I tried to keep that question in mind. As I was researching the author, Carl Sandburg, of the poem “Chicago” I decided to try to understand his work I needed to meet four criteria of knowledge of his past and background, literary terms used, a common element shared by him and the poem, and my immediate responses to his work. The first
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON OF 1666 The Great Fire of London of 1666 that was started by Thomas Farrinor’s bakery caused the destruction of 80 percent of London and led to the creation of insurance and firefighting companies.

Although both Blore and Lombard search for Armstrong in the night, by the time morning comes and they haven’t found Armstrong, Blore quickly shifts his suspicions to Lombard. He believes Lombard may have killed Armstrong as they were out searching for him, although it would not have been possible for Lombard to have pulled it off. Blore strongly believes Lombard is the murderer due to the fact that Lombard possesses

According to the video, “Charlemagne lived during the late eighth and ninth centuries.” He was first the King of the Franks, then king of the Lombards, and he was finally crowned Emperor of Rome by Pope Leo III in 800 A.D.
