Antelope's Head Formal Analysis

Decent Essays
The size of the antelope’s head has a long symmetrical structure that is 14 5/8 inches long, and the based of the mask stretch a few inches wider than the antelope’s head to fit a human size face. The material is made out of a dark and warm-brown wood. It is smooth, and is faddily shiny on the mask. Starting from the top of the mask shows two long drilled horns that are straight and pointed. The length of the mask’s horns is not as long as the original antelope’s horns, yet it has a similar size as the antelope’s facial mask to make the proportion and the weight balance. The width of the drilled horns is symmetrically detailed starting from one-fourth of the top horn swirling down concavely to the base of the head. The horns are the focal point

    Charles Russell and Frederic Remington were artists well-known for their depiction of the Old West. Using posters, oil on canvas, and bronze as mediums, they provide an extensive journey from 1888 to 1909 revealing the atmosphere in association with the West. The expansion West provided an opportunity for the United States to not only grow as a nation, but to explore new territories for resources, land, and settlement. In relation, the closing of the frontier in 1890 signified the result of development, which brought Indians and Americans closer together. Sharing the land would prove difficult and create tensions as seen in some of the illustrations, despite the last Indian wars ending about a decade prior.…

    It is at this point in the essay where examining the specific journal entries of Lewis, Clark and the known associates of the expedition help prove the question of whether or not the expedition was truly well prepared for their journey westward. Upon beginning their journey, Lewis was attentive as ever, “staying up till midnight, making observations every five minutes or so for an hour or more.” This was only practice, as the group was still making its way down the Ohio, and was often frustrating and impossible, but as seen in the journals, the expedition progressed. Maybe most particularly, research of the expedition could not be done without the journals, and it is the quality of the journals that show how the expedition was indeed prepared for what lay west of the Mississippi River. This can be seen through the writings of Lewis, who, as stated previously, was educated both by Jefferson and the educated elite of the country before departing.…

    Monstrosity isn’t always what is perceived on the outside. Becoming one with an animal, having animalistic tendencies, or an alter ego of a beast can be considered monstrous to society. In the poem “Why do you keep putting animals in your poems”, the man depicted in the poem is learning from the animals in the poem. He also realizes that the animalistic way of life is much simpler than the life of a human. In “Now You’re An Animal” by Mark Doty the professor goes into a studio to get his picture taken and walks out with an alter ego of an animal.…

    In the traditional method of critical thinking, the goal is to find the right answer by discovering and ferreting out the wrong answers. Thus, in a multiple choice quiz, a student could determine that the correct answer was C by knowing that A, B, and D were incorrect. This student knows that, as Sherlock Holmes said, “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” To me, this quote sums up the premise of what Elbow refers to as the doubting game. Once all untrue assertions have been eliminated, what remains is presumed true.…

    In order to reduce brain trauma as a result of a violent collision within the NFL, a new sideline concussion test has been set in place. Through tests like these that analyze brain trauma more closely, brain trauma within the NFL may be significantly reduced. That said, the current steps taken by the NFL to control the violent collisions that produce brain trauma is not enough because football is a high contact sport where injuries are continuous. High contact sports like this constantly expose players to many injuries which can cause damage to the brain – an example of this being concussions. Due to the high exposure of injuries in football, brain trauma can start before one joins the NFL, as stated in the article “The Damage Done”.…

    Psychologically speaking, as humans, we are wired to think that we have the freedom to act and do based upon our own self judgment. For simplistic reasons, let’s assume that this “freedom” is analogous to free will which is a philosophical idea in which to act freely is to have multiple open futures and possibilities, or to be able to choose between many different choices. Determinism is the belief that every event (including action, choices, and decisions) is the inevitable result of a causal chain of events. In other words, a choice with an action (A) is the inevitable result of an earlier action of an earlier choice. This principle presents a problem for the concept of free will.…
