    It is November 9, the Year of Our Lord 1799, and a battered French army begins the arduous climb up the Alps, just as a light snow begins to gently fall, a precursor of the hardship and bone chilling temperatures to come. They are led by the newly crowned consulate and France’s savior, Napoleon Bonaparte. There is a fear that Genoa may fall to Austrians. This fateful journey was captured in a painting by artist, Jacques-Louis David, who was a fervent supporter of the French Revolution. This painting was a gift and peace offering by the Spanish King to Napoleon in 1812, and it captures Napoleon, adorned with an embroidered coat and a deep red cloak, mounted on his steed and pointing up and away from the picture. In the background the French army climbs the steep and twisted path up the rugged terrain of the Alps. A thin layer of new snow lies on the ground and overhead dark and foreboding clouds loom. While the motive of David in his painting Napoleon Crossing the Alps is unclear, his peerless piece of art captures the tender emotions of the viewer with the use of a stark contrast between foreground and background, a diagonal line that appears in several important facets of the painting, and an expression on the face of Napoleon, himself, that calls to the viewer.…

    Upon viewing the film, my first reaction was that I expected what I saw. I always knew that slavery was a horrible thing and I think that the film did a fantastic job of portraying the cruelty of slavery. There were some parts of the film that I did not expect however. For instance, in beginning where Solomon was essentially captured into slavery, I had mentally pictured it differently. I had always pictured the people taking him out back and knocking him unconscious, not him being knocked out by liquor only to wake up in a cell. The movie definitely did a good job of helping me understand why and how he was captured. I was also amazed at how it seemed that the people ignored the fact that he was educated, clearly for him to learn violin as well as he did he must’ve been educated, but they ignored this. I think that the most gut wrenching scene for me was near the end of the movie. That was when Patsey was tied to the post and flogged by Solomon, that really spoke to me because of how not only Patsey had to suffer but Solomon had to as well. Also, when they were cleaning Patsey’s wounds, it was the first time that I had ever seen an accurate visual representation of what whipping did. I had always thought that it hurt but for me I had never imagined it doing as much damage as it did.…

    Although applauded for fighting for the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, the first wave of the Women’s Movement focused their efforts on more than the right to vote. During the time period within which the Women’s Movement took place, women had little to no power in nearly all aspects of life. From having a voice in government to having a voice in their own home, women were not regarded with respect and did not have many rights in the eyes of the government. First addressed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton during the Seneca Falls Convention, the grievances that defined the Women’s Movement included "social and institutional barriers that limited women’s rights; including family responsibilities, a lack of educational and economic opportunities,…
