    Alexander Solzhenitsyn agrees with Colson and Pearcey about the reality of naturalism in modern Western culture and provides catastrophic examples of the destructive effects that they assert to be the results of naturalism. This Russian author argues that much of the world’s wars stem from the people forgetting about God. He states, “The failings of human consciousness, deprived of its divine dimension, have been a determining factor in all the major crimes of this century” (146). The first example Solzhenitsyn points out is World War I. He sees no other explanation for the method of torture and hatred that led to World War I than the lack of acknowledgment of a Higher Power by European leaders.…

Each piece of work, from the two poems, ‘’Daystar’’ by Rita Dove, ‘’Those Winter Sundays’’ by Robert Hayden and the short story ‘’At…

    In 1844, the family hired Fanny Dürbach, a 22-year-old French governess.[9] Four-and-a-half-year-old Tchaikovsky was initially thought too young to study alongside his older brother Nikolai and a niece of the family. His insistence convinced Dürbach otherwise.[10] By the age of six, he had become fluent in French and German.[5] Tchaikovsky also became attached to the young woman; her affection for him was reportedly a counter to his mother's coldness and emotional distance from him,[11] though others assert that the mother doted on her son.[12] Dürbach saved much of Tchaikovsky's work from this period, which includes his earliest known compositions, and became a source of several childhood…
