The decision that I found to be particularly hasty was Romeo's decision to commit suicide. I believe that this decision was impulsive and fueled by Romeo's emotions. It lead to not only his death but his lover Juliet as well. If Romeo had been more thoughtful instead of letting his grief and desperate thoughts overwhelm him, he could of created a different ending for the play, one not as tragic. Before Romeo made such a decision, he had been waiting for Friar Lawrence in Mantua to send him news of the uplifting sorts when Balthazar had told him that Juliet had died.…
I will be summarizing the argument of “Jupiter’s Aeneid: Fama and Imperium” by Julia Hejduk. I will do so by first deciding what exactly she’s arguing, cataloguing her evidence, fitting the argument and the evidence, then discussing her intellectual influences. Given that Hejduk uses The Aeneid more than any other source, it’s clear that scholars look to primary sources rather than relying on each others’ work. Hejduk argues that Jupiter has a complete dismissal for human life, and only cares about his own imperium (power) and fama (fame), and he does this in a number of ways. His words he chooses are never with remorse, regret, or guilt which are the natural human sentiments to feel when people are murdered, his gleefulness when Aeneas is…
He observed that the moons had surface similar to mountain and valleys. Galileo pointed his telescope toward Jupiter and made the discovery that there were four stars surrounding it . He later figured out that they weren't stars, they were moons. There were four moons around Jupiter. Therefore, this meant that everything…
In this paper I will be discussing the argument made in the scholarly article, Jupiter 's Aeneid: Fama and Imperium by Julia Hejduk and furthermore using her work to develop my own argument about the epic poem The Aeneid. I will be doing this through the layout of a summary of argument essay. I will thus be summarizing the evidence provided by Hejduk, displaying the sources in the forms of charts, connecting the charts to the evidence and moreover connecting the evidence to the scholar 's personal life. I am doing this not only to provide adequate support for Julia Hejduk’s claims but to also allot myself the opportunity to further understand The Aeneid and mature the views I have on the Epic. Through the reading and analysis of the scholarly…
Galileo Galilei’s essay called “Corpuscularianism” from his book The Assayer offers an extensive argument supporting his belief that motion is the cause of heat. He describes the key role motion plays in creating heat through pointing out how motion affects the other senses such as taste and smell. However, Galilei’s stance does not come without opposition, as I will criticize his over-simplistic and contradictory explanation for how we sense the world around us. Galileo begins by differentiating between primary and secondary qualities. He states that objects necessarily have shape, size, place, motion, contact, and number (primary qualities,) but they do not necessarily have color, taste, sound, smell, or feel (secondary qualities.)…
Ganymede was discovered by Galileo Galilei on Jan. 7, 1610. The discovery, along with three other Jovian moons, was the first time a moon was discovered orbiting a planet other than Earth. Galileo's discovery eventually led to the understanding that planets orbit the sun, instead of our solar system revolving around…
Galileo Galilei published Sidereus Nuncius, or the Starry Messenger in 1610. It was a scientific work based on his regular observations of the heavens through a telescope, including the mountains on Earth’s imperfect moon, hundreds of new stars, the four moons of Jupiter, and sunspots. This was published while the Scientific Revolution was in full effect. His discoveries opposed Ptolemy’s and Aristotle’s descriptions of the heavenly bodies as perfect and unchanging orbs of light. Galileo also supported Nicolaus Copernicus’ heliocentric theory of the universe, tempting most European astronomers to accept it.…
Galileo Galilei was a famous astronomer who made many discoveries. His belief that the earth revolves around the sun, which is known as a fact in today's society, was almost a passion of his. His idea that the earth was in motion and revolved around the sun was a revolutionary new idea at the time and was a favored idea by some people. Galileo had encountered lots of resistance of his beliefs and arguments throughout his life. Galileo tried to prove his heliocentric theory, but was turned down by the Pope and was convicted of heresy.…
Examined T. californicus ability to handle high temperature stress under short-term, small exposure to high temperature, and long-term, persistant exposure to constant high temperatures. The took populations of T. californicus from 11 pools at different latitudinal gradients in a local scale. They put the specimen in petri dishes with founding adult females. They only mate one time and store the sperm so they can produce many groups of offspring. To test if inbreeding could influence the patterns of thermal tolerance they crossed independent lineages of the same population so they could use the offspring in thermal tolerance experiments.…
The developments from 1492-1687 created a new profound feeling of humanism and individualism throughout Europe. Scientific thought made humanity think of themselves as individuals rather than blindly following the church. Exploration boosted the confidence of Europeans through new discoveries and overall created a different look at life. Throughout the 15th, 16th, and 17th century there were many developments in science which caused people to reevaluate how they thought.…
Planet Jupiter, the largest of the gas planets, reigns superiority in the solar system. It is the fifth planet from the sun and features unique properties that are unlike Earth and other planets. Jupiter is one of the five planets including; Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury, that can be seen with a naked eye. Its massive size makes it hard to miss in the gleaming night sky. Due to their visibility, the planets have been observed by many cultures and were given various names.…
Why Did the Catholic Church Put Galileo on Trial for Heresy? And What Was the Significance of the Trial? Galileo was summoned to trial twice for heresy. First, for the heliocentric model and then for the geocentric model.…
Missions involving Io began in 1973 with the Pioneer 10 mission, a flyby that was designed to study Jupiter. This spacecraft was also the first to achieve escape velocity of the solar system. It discovered that Io has an atmosphere, and possibly viewed its Hydrogen Ion torus. After Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11 took the first pictures of Io, and estimated the mass of the moon.…
The Abduction of Europa depicts a mythological event in time. During so, a woman Europa is taken away from her present area by Roman God Jupiter who is in the form of a bull. On top of Jupiter’s back while reaching one arm up towards the heavens as the other softly grasps the horn of Jupiter, Europa gracefully rides in majestic garments surrounded by lavish elegant strings of flowers including a harmonious silk sheet. With her forearm up and the palm of her hand opened, Europa stretches it out upwards in the direction of a number of two angles who are located stretched out on a singular abnormal shaped cloud. As the angles see this occurrence, there is also an immense phoenix who lurks above in the opposite direction viewing this moment.…
