Damien Hirst has artwork pieces with powerful titles. One of Damien Hirst’s pieces is called “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living”. The title of this piece is relevant in how Hirst wants his audience to feel and view his art. The title is related to the piece because the shark being dead represents death, but the fact it looks alive in “ocean-like water” correlates with the mind of someone living.The title is describing that it is impossible to be dead if your mind is alive. The shark is posed in a way to where it would look if it were still in the ocean with its mouth wide open and ready to attack. The title of an artwork piece is crucial in order for its viewers to have a deep understanding of the concept being

    Sharkwater Rhetorical Analysis Sharkwater is a 2006 documentary created by Rob Stewart, a young biologist and underwater photographer. Being passionate about the ocean and those who inhabit it, Stewart created his documentary with the intention of destroying the bad reputation that society and the media has put on sharks. Stewart also highlights in his documentary how humans have cruelly made sharks the prey and the enemy for decades. Ethos, pathos, and logos played a very important role in Sharkwater, and was strategically used throughout the documentary in order to persuade the audience that sharks aren’t the enemy, and shouldn’t be treated as such. Pathos, the appeal to one’s emotions, was heavily relied on throughout the documentary in…

The shark-mole wrapped his fins around Norm's body and preceded to tear his flesh in half and crack his bones. Just as soon as it came, it quickly left leaving only a pool of blood and the ringing of his blood-curdling screams in the air.…

    A shark was swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, free of worry or care. It was the king of the ocean; nothing could stop it. Little did it know did it know it would become widely known to humans. Little did it know it would become the first recorded shark to kill anyone in the world. In 1916, a series of events triggered the historic attack that eventually destroyed all thoughts about the shark previously.…

    When I try to imagine that dead tiger shark in suspended animation, glorified in a steel box of formaldehyde, I can’t help but see it in motion. I see the walls of its glass cage expand into a murky kelp forest that masks its constant forward motion, just as Terry Tempest Williams mentions in her essay “A Shark in the Mind of One Contemplating Wilderness.” Though Williams addresses a broad range of issues in her work, this essay can be summarized quite easily: in order for us as humans to understand and appreciate something, we have to kill it—or pause it—to do so. “Even in death, I see this shark in motion.” (Williams 570)…

    Inevitable Death Inside “The Masque Of The Red Death” written by Edgar A. Poe he uses certain symbols that allow the reader to understand the point he trying to prove, which is nothing is promised except death. In doing so the whole story shows one of the main characters Prince Prospero attempting to avoid death however possible, by excluding the sick and inviting the healthy. So that point is going to be shown throughout the story by Poe using his descriptive wording to help explain the story.

    An important factor that I learned from both Hurst and 21st century art is that it doesn’t matter too much about what the artist is wanting to portray in their art. They are more focused on how their admirers will interpret their artwork. In regards to Hurts my interpretation of “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living” is that he wanted to show that we can physically maintain or understand death in daily life. For instance Hurst stored this shark in formaldehyde knowing that the composition of this shark will not maintain and will have to be replaced. Thus, making it impossible to physically maintaining the death composure of the shark.…

    The Argument for the Immortality of the Soul When Socrates and Meno are halted in their argument by a paradox, Socrates proposes a new idea that will solve the paradox and continue their conversation. He states that the soul is immortal and it has learned everything in past lives. Thus, what men call learning is actually a process of recollection. I will first be giving context as to how this idea came into the dialogue with Meno. Next, I will explain how he puts the same idea forward in Phaedo and then noting the differences between the two dialogues.…

    Billy Collins’ poem, “The Art of Drowning,” describes to the reader how one’s death is insignificant to the rest of society. Through the sarcastic tone and rhetorical questions, the speaker informs the reader that life will go on after one’s death, and that the act of death flashing before one’s eyes is not a real experience; death is much simpler than that. In stanza one, the speaker presents his or her thoughts on death by saying “I wonder how it all got started, this business about seeing your life flash before your eyes while you drown…” The reader easily recognizes this common phrase about death, and is aware of the speaker’s skepticism of the concept of life flashing before one’s eyes during death.…

    In “Why Immortality Is Not So Bad,” Fisher argues that immortality need not to be as bad as William says it would be and is inadequate. He argues that if an immortal life would be characterized by different experiences, there is no reason one to become bored with life. Although william argues that immortality would be as bad, he uses an example to prove it of a woman named EM who is immortal, for drinking a certain potion, and gets bored with life. In the end, she refuses to continue drinking it, because life has become a dull a state of boredom, indifference, and coldness. Williams claims that any kind of eternal life would end up being like this at the in the end,which is boring, meaningless, and undesirable.…

    Eventually death will come to us all, but death itself is still unknown to every living person. No one has ever died and returned to give a clear account about what death is really like. It is said that it is man’s nature to fear what they do not understand and cannot control. We can never know precisely what death is unless we die, therefore we can never understand it while living. When looking at the sociological approach towards death we come across ‘death-denying’.…

    Thomas Nagel believed that death itself is not bad but what is bad about dying is that your life is taken away from you. Another position that Nagel had was that death is simply a state of non-existence and is not bad. The reason he thought that was because death and conscious life are mutually exclusive states. Nagels assumption was that death is the permanent end of our existence of our organic and conscious self. Epicures believed that death is nothing to us and that it was neither good or bad.…

    Keats' Philosophy of Life And Death A man who avoids death will never mature, and he will never profoundly understand and solve the problem of existence. In life, people inevitably encounter a variety of problems, the limited life and unlimited desires, the eternal desire to live with the inevitable death of the fate of the contradictions, etc., contained in the lives of everyone , Thus constituting the predicament of human existence. Life and death, as a phenomenon, reflects people's concern for their own life. Being a problem, life and death reflect the thinking of people about the nature of their existence.…
