Once upon a time there was a happy couple, Neptune and Uranus. The two were the happiest of planets, they did everything together. Uranus and Neptune were inseparable. The two had similar day lengths, so all the other planets called them perfect. Every morning they were the first thing each other saw. The two had met 2 billion years ago, and since then they have been together. Uranus, is an icy planet, that easily gets mad, Neptune is a smaller rocky planet, that was super sweet. Everyone in the…
known as Birth of Venus, c. 1484-86 and Primavera, c.1482. Botticelli was a master ahead of his time. He exceptionally captured the true realism of movement within these majestical fantasy-like paintings. The creation of these two masterpieces reflects the beliefs of today’s current society where individuals are appreciated within their bareness, which shows…
inequality which refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. For example, Venus Williams and Roger Federer won respective Wimbledon singles titles in 2005 and 2007 but Venus didn’t receive the equal prize money. Venus walked into a boardroom at the All England Lawn Tennis and Cruquet Club the day before the 2005 Wimbledon final expressing the fight for equal pay. Venus expressed “I’m used to winning. I’ve lost, too, but in the overall scheme of things, I’m…
Bradbury is a riveting piece of work. The story is about a girl Margot who has recently just moved to the planet Venus, from Earth, where the sun shines for one hour every seven years. Margot misses seeing the sun everyday from her house in Ohio. Instead, everyday, she sees rain just pouring down and never stops. But Margot is not the only kid missing out on the sun. Other kids on Venus, who were born there, have never seen the sun or even remember what it looks like. Everytime Margot tries to…
is the noninstrumental and instrumental value humans place on nature (pg. 119). More specifically, noninstrumental value is the value of something that is not directly valuable for human use. For instance, the Venus Flytrap. Although we do not yield any direct type of value from the Venus Flytrap, they are a valuable component in a food chain and they know their prey (Jabr, 2010).…
In the middle we see Roman goddess Venus, with her in the middle Botticelli adds a reflection of the humanist interest in the classical world, she protects and cares for the institution of marriage. She is surrounded by laurel leaves adding the message of achievement, peace, and protection. Botticelli seems to love putting geometric shapes into his art, and we say that with Venus she has a halo. A circle around her and she is the center piece to draw the most…
The continuous movement of the heated substances in the planet’s interior causes tectonism to proceed, and some planets in modernity still have active tectonism, such as Mars, Earth and Venus. Planets that are miniscule are found to cool off quicker due to to the proportion of volume to area, which causes smaller planets to desist to have plate tectonics faster than larger planets. The absence or presence of tectonism on a planet circumducts around the capacity of the planet and the amount of…

the gods from Dido’s own passions. The gods are apart of the reason Dido holds her passion for love, a passion which drives her to kill herself. Venus sends Cupid down to “enflame [Dido’s] heart / And infiltrate her bones with fire” (Aen 1.805-806) in order to ensure Dido “will be bound to [Venus], / By her great love for my Aeneas” (Aen 1.823-825). Venus evokes a sort of spark in Dido, one that makes Dido fall in love with Aeneas. Prior to this point, Dido is a kingless queen. Ever since her…
The painting that I found to be the most interesting was “Venus and Adonis”. This painting measures about 42 inches x 52 1/2 inches. The painting was created by oil paint, a medium composed of pigments and varying types of vegetable oils. The painting was done on stretched canvas, and therefore it gives the painting a slight textured quality. The painter, Titan, painted this picture giving soft appearances of the colors. The painting doesn’t have any harsh brush strokes, and the paint seems to…
