Abstract
This paper explains that his 1922 painting "Twittering Machine" is characteristic of Paul Klee's painting style that reflects two art movements of the earlier part of the twentieth century. Next, the author describes this whimsical painting that integrates elements from nature, such as birds and fish, with elements of a mechanized lifestyle, such as coils and wires, to project an overall theme of communication as incessant chatter . The paper relates that, from the Der Blaue Reiter and Wassily Kandinsky, Klee developed his use of abstraction and playful colors and, from the Bauhaus movement, he gained his strong interest in the interface between technology, nature and humanity and how to communication these ideas in a symbolic manner.
From the Paper
"Paul Klee was born in Switzerland in 1879 but spent most of his life in Germany. Living in Munich exposed Klee to the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) group as well as to its founders such as Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky would become a friend and major influence on Klee. The Blue Rider group pioneered advancements in abstract art and was based in Munich from 1911 until 1914. Klee traveled to Northern Africa, where he encountered colors and lighting such as he had never seen before."

Abstract
This paper examines the nature of modernity in motion within the futurist movement at the turn of the 20th century. By analyzing "State of Mind: The Farewells" (1911) by Umberto Bocking and "Cosmic Flora" (1925) by Paul Klee, the paper shows how the works present both an organic and industrial representation of the fast movement of technological developments, which provide a distinct sense of motion through composition and objective technique. The paper concludes that, through their desire to capture the quickening tempo of advancing technology and rapid development, these painters took an abstract and progressive view towards motion in composition, in which modern motion became the axis of human progress.
From the Paper
"Another advocate and inspiration of the futurist movement was Paul Klee, as his compositions also provide a varied set of modern motion that provide a more organic variety of this style. In "Cosmic Flora" Klee shows a set of tiered expressions of the movement of life in 'cosmic' framework, very much like a set of parallel filmstrips in a moving picture. The different aspects of floral and landscape arrangements act as a similar stylistic that was to be used as a vehicle for motion in futurism. Other artists such as Egon Schiele and Franz Marc used this type of motion that provides a framework for motion in relation to space. Klee's attempt to show an abstract point of view of movement in a cosmic setting is also similar to Boccioni's "The City Rises", which provides the idea of modern urban people as a blurred and nearly incomprehensible set of objects that are restless and constantly active. With the 20th century technological advances making rapid progress, Klee is representative of a more organic type of futurism that expressed movement in the fluidity of modern motion (Klee 31), but without the industrial aspects of Boccioni's works. For Klee the major difference between his own organic motion and industrial motion are the only aspects of differentiation that do not bind him to the futurist movement of Boccioni's "State of Mind: The Farewells.""

Abstract
This paper discusses the major purpose of St. Paul's "Letters to the Romans," a chapter in the Christian Bible. These letters served to introduce ideas behind Christianity such as the faithfulness of God and salvation to the masses. The author also explains that Paul's concerns about the Romans as inspired him to write these letters.
From the Paper
"St. Paul's letters to the Romans had many purposes the main one however, was the uniting of the church and the exhortation to the Gentile Christians to be more accepting of their Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ since the church was at that time comprised of mainly Gentile Christians. Paul knew that a church characterized by harmony would bring glory and honor to God however, Paul had other reasons as well for writing the letters to the Romans."

Abstract
This paper examines Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians. The paper briefly adumbrates the historical context within which Paul was writing in 50-51 CE and the paper also examines the enduring themes that are to be found in the historically important correspondence. More than that, the paper adds the writer's personal comments and notes how the immanence of Christ was of great importance in this letter and how it remains a central plank of Christianity today.
From the Paper
"The first century AD was a time of great turmoil for Christians. Jesus, of course, had been executed at Golgotha and the Roman Empire was taking concerted steps to drive Christianity out of its environs. The following brief paper will briefly outline Paul's first letter by discussing his targeted audience and the purpose for his writing to them. Beyond that, the paper will offer a synopsis of the major themes encompassed within his letter as well as a few personal comments by the writer as to how these works impacted him personally. In the final analysis, Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians was intended to be a means of bolstering the faith of a small congregation that was facing enormous challenges and not just a little religious persecution.

The small wooden house is also significant architecturally as the oldest house in central Boston and one of the few remaining houses of colonial America. The Paul Revere House accesses the historical past verbally in the written word and visually. The story..."

Abstract
The paper examines the ways in which morality of both Aristotle's and Paul's schools of thought come together in modern America. It looks at how Aristotle's idea of reason, or "logos," must be taught and then be used in the real world. It then moves on to Paul, who believes that morality must be gained by giving oneself completely to God. The paper finally looks at how modern America has brought these two schools of thought together.
From the Paper
"Do to others as you would have them do to you," is something we have all heard in some form or another at some point in our lives. To put it another way would be to treat people how you would want to be treated. This simple rule can be seen as the foundation, the beginning of many people's moral code, which they will use for the rest of their lives. It will guide their decision-making processes from the simplest choices like whether or not to tell a white lie, and all the way up to life and death situations. The question is how do we come to those decisions that can have such far-reaching consequences and feel comfortable that we have made the right, or shall we say the best decision? Are moral decisions based on the rules we have been taught by our parents, the laws of society, the consequences of an action, or a more deep desire to promote goodness in the world in which we live in? There has been a countless number of people who have attempted to define the moral code. Aristotle believed that one learns morality through philosophy and then actually using it in the real world. The apostle Paul thought that one should follow God's will, or moral code, out of love and faith. Modern America can see a convergence of these two schools of thought, which form our morality. Our morality comes from learning through our parents, religion, and the society around us where by repetition of these rules we are able to base our decisions on these principles, which are ultimately used with our natural reason."

Abstract
This paper looks at the history and origins of Impressionism and Modernism. It looks at some of the by-products of these art forms, and the techniques employed by well-known Impressionists and Modernists. The paper also describes and analyzes the paintings of some of the most famous impressionist and modernist artists.
From the Paper
"Although the term "Impressionism" was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet, the bitter controversy that raged for twenty years over the merits of Impressionism actually began eleven years earlier, in 1863, at the Salon des Refuses, an exhibition held to accommodate the exceptionally numerous works rejected by the jury for the salon that year. It was here that Manet shocked the viewing public with his Dejeuner sur l'Herbe ("Luncheon on the Grass"), which portrays a nude woman and two clothed men seated in the woods. Thus, Manet's refusal to idealize the figures or make the event seem less contemporary offended many critics and art dealers, for with this painting, Manet had drawn away the curtain of classical illusion and brought the nude up-to-date."
