Does anyone have a good 750-1000 word short essay they could send me? It can be about anything as long as it is somewhat interesting. just look on ur hard drive/"my documents" for a random old essay you may have
I have an essay i wrote about the beneficial effects of caffeine. it has a bunch of citations already in it, and i have the works cited still, and if you didnt need those, you could just take them out.
For this assignment I chose to review "The Pease Ballad of John Lennon
and Yoko Ono" at the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal. The reason why IU
shode to go see the exhibibtion was not only to write a review for
class, but also out of curiouslity and the fact that I enjoy listening
to the Beatles. The theme of the exjibibtion is obviously peace. During
the late sixties and early seventies, Hohn and Yoko played major roles
in what was known as the hippy movement. Every display revolves around
a cerain aspect of peace, even the entrance fee and bag check are free.
something that Yoko personnally insisted. The goal being that Lennon
and Okos' meddage will be spread to as many people as possible since
admission is free. This is an effective tactic to lure people in
because i saw numerous elementary school groups along with many other
people who probably wouldn't even have considered the exhibition if it
were not for the free admition.
Upon entering the gallery there
are two walls. The left dieplays Yoko Ono's life while the right wall
shows John's. Since meeting in 1966, the couple promoted peace in every
one of their works. They also used a lot of sumbolism in their art. One
example of this was their conceptual art in the following woom which
consisted of planting two acorns next to each other and placing benches
along side for viewers to watch grow. On the ground next to the acorns
was a plaque that read: John - by Yoko Ono Yoko - by John Lennon
One
acorn faces east while the other faces west. This was to symbolise both
sides of their love for each other. The third room had a bed in the
middle. At first glance it seems strange but after reading the captions
on the walls everything starts to make sence. The recording of the song
" Give Peace a chance" was recorded in the Queen Elizabeth hotel in
Montral. John and Yoko vowed not to step out of their bed until the
world "gave peace a chance." And, impressively, people everywhere were
witnessed singing the chorus in the streets even before it was released
to the public. This is an excellent example as to how the couple
successfully put out a message to the world with the help of their
fame. An interesting reference to the famous "Bed-in" that I've notices
recently is in the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" starring
Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchette. At one point in the movie they are said
to be pracitaclly living on their mattress. The setting is in the
seixties during the hippy movement made obvious to the way they are
dressed and the furniture. I wasn't convinced that it was a direct
reference to the "Bed-in" until the Beatles were seen on the television
performing their hit song of that time "Twist and Shout."
The next
room contained a white grand-piano. This was the part I'd been looking
forward to the most because I kept hearing "Play Imagine on a white
piano" during commercials on chom and I wanted to see what all the fuss
was about. After I had patiently waited for a lady to stop hogging the
piano I finally had my turn. You are required to put head phones so
that only you can hear yourself playing. In front of you is the sgeet
music to the song "Imagine." I didn't actually play Imagine since my
music reading skills are poor but I did have a little bit of fun. After
John and Yoko came back from their honeymoon in Amsterdam, they were
denied entry to the United Stated. The caption didn't actually say why
but i figured it was an easy guess. The couple decided to publically
announce the opening of their new country called "Nutopia", Aplace that
didn't actually exist but was essentially
