I need a paper done on either one of these topics need it done by Friday

Journal V The Spirit of Baroque and the Neoclassical Style

1. Discuss Bernini's design for the piazza in front of St. Peter's Basilica presented in your textbook. What are some of the shapes he used and how did he use them practically and symbolically? In your opinion, and in your own words, how was this design it a triumph of the Baroque style? How did Bernini's work help the Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation?

2. After reading about absolutism in your textbook, how did the palace of Versailles come to define the term Absolutism? Give examples of life under Louis XIV. In your opinion, would you like to live during these times? Why? Why not?

3. Woman as subject or woman as object? In art, an object is something tangible that can be used for a specific purpose. The subject--as in the subject of the verb--is the entity performing the action.  This is a modern debate about the manner in which women have been represented in art. Think about this statement in terms of the paintings Judith Slaying Holofernes by Gentileschi and Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus by Rubens. Using the information in your text, debate the way these two painters portray women.

4. Discuss how satirists such as Jonathan Swift, Voltaire and Hogarth mentioned in your text made change possible in their societies. How were the satirists of the Enlightenment received? Do we have satirists today? Who? Are they well-accepted by our society today?   In your opinion, and in your own words, are they changing some form of the American culture? How?

5. Compare and contrast the political philosophies of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke as discussed in your text. How would you describe, using your own words, the way each man viewed the common man? Can you imagine a political situation or a country in which Hobbes's ideas would be better suited? Are there problems with Locke's ideas? What are they, in your opinion? Be specific.
