Describe the life of the personality you have studied (2010 HSC) Born in Mannheim, Germany in 1905, Albert Speer was persuaded to take up architecture by his father who made a significant impact on Speer’s life. He pursued his architecture studies at the Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe in 1923 and graduated in four years later, two years before the Great Depression. He became Professor Tessenow’s assistant, a supporter of the Nazi Party in the same year, opening the door for Speer. It must be noted that Speer and his family were an apolitical family.

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America is a 2003 non-fiction book written by Erik Larson. Set in 1893 Larson weaves the story of Daniel H. Burnham, the architect behind the Chicago 1893 World’s Fair, and Dr. H. H. Holmes, America’s first serial killer. Being a bit of a crime buff I chose to read this book because it covered a topic I was not entirely familiar with, H. H. Holmes, and I wished to learn more about him. The book begins in 1912 aboard the RMS Olympic, on April 12th – the day her sister ship, the RMS Titanic, has struck an iceberg and is sinking. Daniel Burnham, aged and ailing from gout, commissions the ship’s steward to send a ship-to-ship telegraph to him to Francis Millet aboard the Titanic.
Sydney Overton Mrs. Headley AP British Literature 14 January, 2015 The Century Quilt by Marilyn Nelson Waniek Marilyn Nelson Waniek’s poem The Century Quilt starts as a girl’s love for her Meema’s Indian blanket; then, it transitions into the same girl’s love for a quilt as she has become a woman. The feeling of love is clear while reading it especially as she describes her feelings with vividness. Throughout the poem Waniek displays the complex meanings the quilt holds to the speaker through the employment of many literary techniques. She uses devices such as structure, imagery, and tone to amplify how important the quilt is to her. Although the poem starts as a poem about a blanket from the speaker’s childhood, it evolves into one about a very significant quilt.
