The Russian Revolution of 1917
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the events of 1917 and the Russian Revolution. Russia suffered serious reverses in World War I at the hands of the Germans and Austrians. The country had become a backward country with a miserable peasantry on the verge of starvation, a thin veneer of European civilization, and a seemingly unbridgeable gap between the privileged and the unprivileged.

Lenin and the Bolsheviks eventually implemented their own version of revolution instead. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

John Reed’s “Ten Days that Shook the World”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses John Reed’s 1934 account of the Bolsheviks and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Reed was an unapologetic communist before communism became demonized.

Through Reed’s commentary, it is possible to understand many of the objectives and fundamental goals of the revolutionary leaders and that the larger intention of the Russian Revolution was not at all evil but was based on the most basic of premises -- equality. No doubt, readers would see the corrupt sides of the Revolution if Reed’s book had gone further than the October Revolution. Bibliography lists one source.

Art and Photography
[ send me this paper ]
Beginning in the Renaissance and the emergence of linear perspective there has been certain expectations ascribed to art and artists. During the Renaissance, the rendition of the human form was for the first time able to be portrayed with depth and in context. For many years after photography had been invented the only use was for portraiture. It was a medium all it's own and not considered an art form. This 6 page paper argues that the use of the photographic medium is as valid in today's technological reality as the painting of form in depth was during the Renaissance. It can be used to preserve memories, evoke emotions, stir people to action and provide a standard of beauty. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
