my paper sucks… it got like a B- on it.. my professor said it wasn’t an original idea… i also would have to do some editing if i sent it to you…
well no its not John P. Roche the middle aged guitar player… but thanks for the laugh… i’m having a really hard time finding anything about him… i just found an article saying he died in 1994… the work of his that i’m reading was written in 1966 i believe… but i have no idea how old he was at that time or when he died… please help if you can find anything or if you could tell me where to look possibly… thanks for you help
that was the prompt… make a discussion of the U.S. Constitution as delineated by John P. Roche. very broad i know… but i can only talk for 5 minutes. if you don’t know of anything, its fine… was just wondering if anyone had heard of him or not
i decided on the second great awakening and the overall change in religious views of the people. i felt that this was the most influential on the art… who knows.. i could be completely wrong.. but i don’t really care anymore… she told us we didn’t have to be married to our thesis… and i’m so ready for school to be done that i have a feeling of hate for all school… hehe well not really, but i’m sure you know how i feel…
p.s. if you want to read my paper... all 15 pages i'll send it to you... but i don't want to bore you with it.. heheso i finished my paper… it turned out ok i think. i’m hoping its what my teacher wanted, but oh well if its not… hehe it was 15 pages and it was supposed to be 10…. she likes when you do extra stuff.. hehe… well thanks for the help
so i’ve been working on my paper for hours, well rather sitting and staring mindlessly at my computer for hours. i think its going pretty well though, i hope so anyway. i’m not too worried though, i’ve done surprisingly well in this class so far and hopefully i’m just overthinking and it really is a good paper… i dunno… i want to thank you both for your help. it has been, well helpful hehe… anyway, i really need to stop this procrastination…. back to the hell that is my paper…
thank you so much. you are so helpful. i don’t have time to look over those sites right now, but i will probably tomorrow. i was afraid that i wouldn’t be able to use the willow and urn things because my class dates to 1789 and it didn’t appear until 1790, but i spoke with my professor today and she said it was fine to include since it supported my thesis. i found that the second change, to the willow and urn, coincides with the second great awakening. i was wondering if you could give me ideas on what else i could use as primary sources. as of right now my only primary sources are headstones. i think i may need something else to make my point more concrete… i dunno. i can use secondary sources as well, but primary sources are more important. i just have no idea what i would need to look for. if you have any idea, i would greatly appreciate it. although you have done way too much to help already. i cannot begin to thank you enough.
well lets see… from the early 1600’s the grave art was mainly a winged skull, or the angel of death. this was prevalent until around 1735 or so, depending on where you look. rhode island was the first to switch to the cherub, or winged face. after some time, the southern colonies began adapting it to their graves as well. massachusetts was one of the last colonies to make the change. graves found in southern towns in mass. had cherubs earlier than northern towns. i’m not sure if there is a significance with that or not. then in 1790, i found a headstone from mass. that begins the 3rd change. this third change is a weeping willow tree and usually includes an urn. i haven’t researched the significance of this much because i’m not sure if i can include this in my paper, since my class dates to 1789… i’m really hoping my professor will allow me to include the third change because i believe my paper won’t be as strong without it.
