Bridle

Luke Myers Professor Stoddard ARH 106 27 January 2015 Analysis of an original work of art Santiago El Grande by Salvador Dali Much can be said about about this painting. It is extraordinary, a masterwork, and one of Dali’s most famous. I was lucky enough to see it when it was at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Despite holding one of the largest collections of his works worldwide, I spent most of my time at the museum under Santiago. Under him, because everything about this work…

obedient animals. “It is the horse’s extreme sensitivity to pain, especially in the mouth but also all over her body which allows the rider to control her with the pressure of his own weight the movements of his legs, and with the aid of the bit, the bridle and the rein, the riding whip, the long whip and the spur” (Griffin,2000, p.…

The Great Transformation As Homer’s epic recounts the return of Odysseus from the Trojan War, in The Odyssey, the Greek hero faces many hardships during the process of his return that seem dependent on prior events in the Trojan War described in The Iliad. In other words, Odysseus confronts similar problems, when he was in the Trojan War, traveling back to Ithaca. As a result, Homer displays Odysseus’ development as a person throughout both stories, applying his knowledge acquired on the…

savagery that humans are capable of and that lies within the boys themselves. This idea of primal destruction frightens the boys, who are much too young to have committed the evil, ruthless deeds that took place on the island. Societal law and order bridles this dark underbelly of humanity, but when this group of young, impressionable boys are stranded without authority, the carnal urges that hide within all humans are…

humans can better work with their horse. In fifth grade, I started taking riding lessons. Once a week, I went to a nice barn to learn how to stay on top of a horse, and I learned how to braid a mane and tail and how to take apart and put together a bridle. When I entered middle school, I entered a new side of the horse world. My neighbor, who owned the horse with a huge head, still had horses and I quickly began to learn how different horses could be kept. The lesson barn I was riding at…

Marquis only stops to check on his horses, as he says, “But for the latter inconvenience, the carriage probably would not have stopped; carriages were often known to drive on and leave their wounded behind…and there were twenty hands at the horses’ bridles” (83). The Marquis has no sympathy for his actions, but only cares that his horses are in pristine conditions. The Marquis tries to make the situation right by throwing out money to the peasants, only enraging them even more, especially the…

Robert Frost believes that Nature is never circumstantial for poetry, but is rather a vital character in his works. Throughout his poems, Robert Frost defines the existence of nature in which he talks about the struggles that is within the natural world and also use the destructive side of nature. Robert Frost is a poet who describes nature into his own unique way…

The Wife of Bath is a counter to the antifeminist tradition. In the sense of countering something, she goes against what antifeminists would predict. Antifeminists would view women as powerless, submissive, and inferior. However, The Wife acts quite the opposite. The Wife “prompts misogynist notions: is masculinity any less and femininity any more a characteristic of females than of males?” (Oberembt 290). During the Middle Ages, there was an omnipresence of misogyny and anti-feminist bias. Many…

As seen in document 1, the aboriginal slave halter is described as having a delicate nature, often referred to as bridles or harnesses. These terms used to describe the halter suggest the idea of a garment rather than for the use of…

I started to saddle him. First, the saddle pad. Then, the saddle. Next, the bridle. I put my riding boots on a mounted him. I rode him around in the arena for a little while to get him warmed up. I got off and walked about a quarter mile to the trail gate. I opened the gate closed the gate and we were off riding. We crossed the…
