Abstract
This paper critically analyzes Georges Seurat's the Circus by describing his use of technique, style and composition and by comparing his work to the work Jean Antoine Watteau. The writer describes the artist's use of emotion through symbolism and the artist's focus on positive aspects of life as bringing significant contributions to the world of art.

From the Paper
"Famous pieces, such as Jean Antoine Watteau's The Italian Comedians, and Georges Seurat's Circus encompasses several similarities to one another. Through the use of symbolism and technique, they have each made projections of leisure and happiness toward the viewer. Both of these pieces are meant to spark an emotional response through very different methods of artwork."

Abstract
This paper argues that, in E. B. White's poem "The Ring of Time", the circus ring and performer are metaphors for the mutability of time. The author points out that the poem reflects the ability to capture the moment through creation.

From the Paper
"E. B. White's poem "The Ring of Time" is an attempt to capture the essence of creation against the backdrop of ever-changing time. Though by his own admission the narrator circus patron and writer admit he has failed in this effort, I ..."

Although White does not arrive at the theme of his essay until its closing paragraphs, this theme is time and age, or more exactly a meditation on time in general and age, or the prospect of the consequences of aging, in particular. The metaphor for time is White's reported observation of the shape of a circus ring and the content of activity going on in it, a metaphor that is established not only by the title of the piece but also by the carefully observed and, as it seems, carefully described details of ..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the essay, "The Ring of Time", by E. B. White. It also contains an interpretation of the essay's meaning and theme. It explains that, at first glance, "The Ring of Time" just seems to be an essay about the excitement and magic of the circus and of circus performers. However, if the reader looks deeper, "The Ring of Time" is really about time and how time passes so quickly in our lives.

From the Paper
"White talks about the circus ring, and the horse going round and round, but that is really a metaphor for the circle of time. Time is measured in a circle of a clock, and our lives also follow a circle of time, from infancy to death. He talks about the passage of time even in the circus, and how in a few days the ring would be different, the girl would be different, and even the horse would be different because of the time that has gone between the practice session and the show. As White says "Then time itself began running in circle, and so the beginning was where the end was, and the two were the same, and one thing ran into the next and time went round and around and got nowhere" (White 144). Time seems as if it goes on forever, but in reality, there is an end to everything, even our own time on earth."

Abstract
This paper explains that an ethnographic analysis of an event and its presentation should consider the nature of the event itself, the nature of the targeted audience, and the characteristics of the commentary that becomes part of the presentation as well as how the different elements interact. The author points out that televising this hearing alone suggests certain cultural forces at work. The paper relates that "tabloid celebrity" characterizes the culture that kept track of Smith's activities and influenced the way this hearing was covered by all the news media. The paper relates that the popularity of reality-television influenced the news outlets to use the hearing to attract a large audience. The paper further relates that the courtroom has its own culture embedded within the larger culture and that when courtroom proceedings are telecast on television, the two cultures come together and may conflict. The paper concludes that the court often claims not to be influenced by the circus outside, but in this case, the circus outside was greatly influenced by the circus inside.

From the Paper
"The final day of the hearing was February 23, 2007, by which time the prevailing view of the proceedings was that it was a circus. Judge Larry Seidlin of Broward County was the judge for the proceedings, and he set the tone to a great degree. His behavior became the target of critics who saw his folksy mode of speaking and his informality as drawbacks, but many observers found some of his statements bizarre. The public is familiar with the general methods and tone of a courtroom from other courtroom transmissions, and the style of this hearing differed."

Abstract
The paper shows how the architectural influence of the Coliseum and the Circus Maximus provides a detailed historical influence on the way that modern sporting arenas are constructed. The paper explains that the idea of a circular and highly accessible functionality for these buildings was essential, since they were housing many thousands of people. The paper further explains how the premise of squared buildings could not create the functional form that would be needed to provide the equidistant view of the center stage needed for such vast populations of spectators.

From the Paper
"This architectural study will analyze the influence of the Roman Coliseum or the Flavian Amphitheater on modern sports arenas and facilities. By understanding the circular pattern of seating in the tradition of the roman amphitheater, a wider population of viewers could watch a particular sporting event. The interior design of the Coliseum is an example of how to maximize seating potential, as well as how it brought about greater functionality for the gladiators or athletes brought forth to entertain the masses. In this manner, the ancient Coliseum brought many important architectural influences on the sports arena of modern times."

Abstract
This paper explains that Charles Dickens held to a social philosophy, which differed from the "invisible hand" theory proposed by Adam Smith that the self-interest of people ultimately leads to advancement of the common good. The author points out that the novel depicts the aristocracy, which is on the wane; the middle class, which is comprised of wealthy industrialists; the struggling working class and a fourth class, which is used for comic relief and as impetus to the plot, a circus group, who represents entertainers, whose role in society is to bring happiness and enjoyment.

From the Paper
"The aristocracy is represented by Mrs. Sparsit and James Harthouse. Sparsit is motivated by her attempt to retain the aristocratic values of the upper class, even though her position is simply that of housekeeper to Bounderby. Her housekeeping duties consist of the outer trappings of the aristocratic lifestyle. But she inwardly despises Bounderby, whom she sees as a pretender. She is motivated by revenge against him. Harthouse is a bored aristocrat who is removed from the realities of life. In his position as a spokesman for a political party, he is not motivated to accomplish good, but to amuse himself. His interest in Louisa is equally shallow, because when she rejects him, he simply moves on to another town with no worse damage than a wounded ego."

Abstract
This paper seeks to analyze the directorial aspects of a couple that lived a cage for three days. By becoming "Circus Freaks" in an old custom that depicted South American Indians as savages, they see seek to explore how people would react in a city environment in Columbia, South America. By seeing the filming, the racial perspectives, and the reactions the couple get, we can see how this film provokes historical revisions on Indian heritage.

Abstract
This paper discusses Saint Peter's Cathedral, situated in the Vatican, Italy. Saint Peter's Cathedral, also known as the Basilica of Saint Peter, stands in what was once the Circus of Nero in Rome, where Saint Peter was crucified in 61 A.D. In around 200 A.D., an altar was constructed at the site and Saint Peter's body was buried beneath it. It examines its architecture and history, the way it was, the way it has changed over time and the way it is today. It looks at how it serves as the home church for the Pope and is a glowing testament to the art and architecture of the Renaissance, one of the most influential periods in world culture.

From the Paper
"Saint Peter's contributed to the art world in many ways. Artists were in great demand to paint the many walls and ceilings, and contribute to art works to be placed in the cathedral, so many artists were kept busy in Italy during the time, thereby increasing the awareness and employment in the arts. There are also many mosaics is the church, so a wide variety of artisans were kept busy for decades decorating the massive structure. Art flourished during the Renaissance, and Saint Peter's kept artisans busy, and helped them develop new methods for their crafts, as Michelangelo did when he created the iron beam system to support the massive concrete dome (Editors)."
