    Compare And Contrast Zinn And Greene's Interpretation Of The American Revolution

    Zinn and Greene – Compare and Contrast The American Revolution has been hailed as a turning point in the history of Americans. Some educators use the American Revolution as an example of American willpower, and how America won’t stand for being abused or oppressed in any way.

    Edward Jonas Legacy Fountain Analysis

    Edward Jonas’ Legacy Fountain (fig. 1), represents the transition of Florida State College for Women to the college we know is as today Florida State University. With six statues in total in the fountain Jonas’ shows this transition by incorporating a wall of water between the two halves of the fountain. I believe this fountain was built to commemorate this transition and be a main focal point of Landis Green and the university as it was a huge moment in Florida State Universities history.

    Obama Care Individualism

    A vast array of knowledge is available to students in a tangible way- models and exhibits that display significance in a way that words on a page simply cannot- which broadens our understanding of the things we learn. Within the hallowed halls of these institutions, I would learn through seeing and experiencing rather than imagining.
