Into Eternity Analysis

Decent Essays
The CONSEQUENCES of Art It's probably much more appropriate to use terms like impacts, influences, or heritages here to substitute the word "consequences" in the title; Nonetheless, I particularly appreciate the weight and the overtone carried by this exceptional word, which is also the key word in Into Eternity, a documentary video that talks about how Finishes have been dealing with the highly toxic radioactive waste from the nuclear energy production. Have they thought about the consequence -- it would take 100,000 years to make the waste safe -- when they initially launched the nuclear program? Such question immediately raised in my mind. Indeed, the same question might be applied to our ancestors, who have done the earliest pictorial

    Literate Arts can be fine for explaining a variety of historical, crucial events. Richard E. Miller, author of The Dark Night of The Soul employs texts to display how the literate arts can be beneficial for emphasizing the importance of historical catastrophic events.

Furthermore, Miller asks questions about historical events that have happened over time and probably impacted billions of civilians, which in my opinion is one thing the literate arts is excellent at describing.…

    Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem, “My Dreams, My Works, Must Wait Till After Hell,” emphasizes the role that dreams play in the narrator’s life. This traditional sonnet is included in the collection, “Gay Chaps at the Bar,” that introduces the narrators as young soldiers recently returned from war. Favored by writers in the Harlem Renaissance, Brooks wrote the collection in strict sonnet format with iambic pentameter. Yet, the poem does not mirror the rigidity of the sonnet because of Brooks’ careful use of enjambment. Written in the present tense, with a final couplet in the hypothetical future, Brooks’ poem does not have a concrete sense of past.…

    The Hymn to the Aten is a poem written by pharaoh Amenhotep IV who, around 1346 BC in Egypt, created a monotheistic kingdom worshipping the god Aten, god of the sun disk.

The sun is a very powerful object as it not only provides light to the world but it is also a mean of survival. It appears odd that ruler Amenhotep would pronounce Aten, the god of the sun disk as the supposed supreme god and not Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun.…
