C-130 Hercules

Ever since the emergence of Edgar Allen Poe’s “C. Auguste Dupin” in The Murders at the Rue Morgue, the characterization of the fictional detective has remained constant. Detectives like Sherlock Holmes can be classified as arrogant, educated, European, males who use their wit to solve crimes and often do not align themselves with the authorities. Even in modern times, detective fiction is still dominated by males. With an abundance of detectives like Batman, Monk and Columbo, female detectives…

Cancer which is represented as a giant crab in the myth was sent to attack Hercules during his second out of twelve labors. He was sent because hercules killed his family. Hera sent the giant crab to fight him back but he died when hercules took club to the crab. This myth does sound very harsh but that was how the constellation came to be. Even though most people believe the myth of how Hera sent the giant crab to attack Hercules as the way the cancer constellation was created there are other…

Cobras are awful reptiles, who can live in gardens. Indian cobras can become massive creatures, they can eat some of the little animals that help a garden grow. In the print version of a book and a movie, they can differ or be the same. Both of them can be very accurate in telling the story plot. These versions can be quite enjoyable and exciting.

This piece is titled Vishnu as Varaha, The Cosmic Boar. It tells the story of the the Hindu god, Vishnu and how he took the form of a boar to rescue the world from a demon who imprisoned the earth beneath the cosmic ocean. This piece depicts Vishnu as having an entirely human body with a boar’s head, not unlike the shape of a minotaur. Though the color and texture of this sculpture would have me to believe it has nothing to do with an ocean. This piece is entirely a sand like color and has a…

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie is the best example of these emotions, and the best example of the way she writes her stories. This book was carefully put together with an immense amount of planning. The reader will not be…

Herodotus shows himself as a dedicated and meticulous historian throughout this entire book. His respect to detail is what sets this aspect of himself apart from that of the political theorist, anthropologist, or spinner of tales. He provides such in-depth characteristics and features of these recounts of history that it seems as if he was standing there taking notes as it transpired. This attention to detail is thoroughly described in the recounting of Croesus’ gathering of gifts to give to the…

This coalition has the reader…
