Research Paper On Dodecahedron

Decent Essays
Dodecahedron is a particular 3 dimensional shape. Best described as an illusion. When seeing this shape from a far can seem as a solid rounded shape, but once you walk towards the dodecahedron edges, and curves appear. Much like a dodecahedron everyone can seem one way from a far and as you get closer they can appear different. Although one may be different everyone is unique and have their own story to tell much like this shape.
A dodecahedron is unique in many ways. For instance like I had mentioned from a far this shape looks like any solid shape then when you get closer you can see pointed edges, rounded curves, and 12 flat sides. Just like you and I we can appear the same from a distance; 2 legs, 2 arms, long black hair, and an oval shaped face. Then as you get closer you notice that I have a scar on my forehead, split ends in my hair, and scars on my knees from picking at scabs as a child, and tattoos on my right arm. Similar to the dodecahedron we start having character, personality, and edge. Although you and I can seem similar from a far everyone has their own story to tell once you get close enough.

We all relate because we have edge, personality, and character like a dodecahedron. Once you get close enough to hold a dodecahedron in your hand you feel the different curves roll smoothly in your palms, flat faces gliding over your fingers, and the rough pointed edges pricking the tips of your fingers. There are a few shapes that have some roughness to them like sharp corners, yet still have soft flat sides that are gentle. A few of us can compare to the touch of a dodecahedron by having a bit of roughness, and edge, but after gliding through this shape you feel soft flat faces much like you and I. We can seem rough and tough and guarded, but behind that we are gentle, unique,

    Some people recognize similarities between them and characters from movies that they watch or from books that they read. I strongly think that I share many similarities with the character Rudy from the movie Rudy, and I think we are alike in many ways. To begin with, in the movie, Rudy never gave up once and always gave one hundred percent of his effort when he played on the field. Also, like me, Rudy loved sports and was always focused on getting better, and it was easy to tell because of his devotion to sports. Finally, Rudy was always the hardest working and most determined person on the field.…

    The idea that society rejects those that are different and that the Creature in Frankenstein is rejected because he is different is supported by many literary critics. Chris Bond writes that “The consistent complaint of the monster in his narrative is thus that he is excluded from receiving any human affection, and is, instead, in receipt only of human aggression.” Bond says that it is impossible for the Creature to become active in society because he is unlike humans. The notion that the Creature is more “sinn'd against than sinning” exists until the final page in the novel (Bond). Literary critic Brian Aldiss also comments that the creature is “disowned by its creator” and “shunned against mankind.”…

    Change is an adjustment and if you do not change you will be left behind. In the story, it gives the setting, then we get to read how the prisoners view the world and then how one of the prisoners was set free and this shows how he will begin learning new things from what he originally knew before. In Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” it shows that people should accept change because they never know what can happen once they know the whole truth and through the use of point of view, imagery, and symbolism. To begin with, we can see the point of view changes and transitions throughout the story.…

    At first glance, the Hercules and the Hydra sculpture is easy to pass by. Located in the outside sculpture garden it stands on a slightly elevated bronze platform, which stands on a bigger, more elevated concrete pedestal that also rests on a larger concrete pedestal that has four embedded lights, each on one corner. The viewing area is large and allows for the audience to view the sculpture up close and far, while still being able circumambulate around the statue at a variety of distances. Because of the vastness of the space around the sculpture, at first glance from the walkway, the sculpture does not seem to be a big piece. However, the closer the proximity towards the sculpture, the bigger the piece seems to get, appearing as if Hercules…
