This generally would be how any person asked what a fraternity is would explain it as, but has the idea of a fraternity changed?

Constructivism is ‘child-centred development’.

Many nights as I lay in bed restless and puzzled, I contemplated which direction my future would take. Entering Brown University, I thought I had a keen sense of my career goals, having convinced myself that I was well beyond the “college is a time for exploring” phase.

I believe we can reasonably understand why Rembrandt chose this Biblical situation with the two characters. What is noteworthy, is his arrangement. The son is the first face we see. By use of his arm, Rembrandt led our eye from him to Saskia, the real reason he is there. From her, we transition back to him; but, in between them we see the other vice. His composition is full of movement and excitement. The line work is busy and almost chaotic. The only straight lines are the sword and glass; however

“Knock Knock” “Come in” I remember saying, while my grandpa walked in. I was sitting on my bed, on my phone playing a game when he asked me if I wanted to go camping and to a car show with him,diane, and noah in Fort Dodge, IA .

When he left I went downstairs and asked my mom what she had planned for the weekend, she said that they were probably

It was at Lucas Graham's Christmas party that Tom Yilmaz first saw Mollie Conrad. Not for the first time in his life- they had attended the same school for nearly seven years and had been in the same class more than once- but it was the first time he really saw her. As soon as she walked in the room, everyone's head turned to look at her, because she looked so... different. Normally, she wore her dark hair in a messy ponytail, with her demeanour unassuming and her voice rarely heard, but now... now

Through the use of color, Matisse shows the viewer his mental mindset, his emotions, while creating this painting which adds a subjective lens to his interpretation of the subjects. The intense colors illustrate a “feeling” that would not otherwise come through if the colors were directly representational of the real natural world.

John Brown should be considered a traitor for three reasons, he killed five people, he led a revolt, and he armed slaves. The first reason, John Brown killed five people. He, in cold blood killed 5 white men in a field for what? Owning slaves? Not necessarily hurting, or abusing them. Just owning them. There is no real logical explanation for what he did other than simply his thinking wasn’t right. He led both his sons into battle, and his obvious obsession of ending slavery some think, made him
