Cardinal direction

Both Ghost Sonata and The Beggar have similar approaches when it comes to stage directions; their philosophy is more is more. We are first introduced to Ghost Sonata with a page and a half long stage direction that rivals Shaw. In it there is an incredible amount of detail. It describes what each character is doing onstage at all moments of the scene; it also gives as much information as possible regarding the atmosphere. “A steamship’s bell ring, and now and then silence is pierced by low notes, of an organ in a church near by” (Strindberg 3) this portion of the stage direction is written in an incredibly naturalistic way compare this to a stage direction from one of Strindberg’s earlier plays Miss Julie “through them there is a fountain…

paintings”. Nagy goes on to say how most Cheyenne war shields feature the key elements of the four cardinal directions, a central circle (usually the sun or moon), and a great crest. The Cheyenne shields overall had a very, almost cosmological point of design with the suns, moons, and sometimes stars they features. The four cardinal direction representation on war shields was a very Cheyenne influenced tradition. A very strong example of this cardinal direction design starts with the (Fig. 1) …

covered in blood, what the hell do you think,’ inwardly sneering at the pet name. Taking a breath, she responded, “Well I’m upright and still breathin’,” in a slightly cheerful voice that did not at all match her sarcastic thoughts. “What the hell happened?” Shane asked, now taking steps towards her. Dixie took a step back, shrinking away from Shane as he approached. She shifted her weight to her left foot turned slightly so that her right side was out of everyone’s line of sight and snaked…

• Rectangular painting, divided into top third roof and lower thirds is ground, the floor board. • Scene is set in daytime, in a building with brown pillars that has sheep with the wools being shaved. • The colours of the floor board and the sheep are consistently pale browns with their skin and shaved wool cream in colour; the rooftop of the building is dark, predominantly browns, with black lines between it for the right side of the roof top, and dark grey rectangular on the left side. • The…

She intuitively uses her inside edge to push off in a diagonal, outwards direction to increase her speed. Her stride lengths are decent but could be improved by simply keeping her skates parallel to the ice and gliding longer after each push. If Daria follows through with her leg motion and continues to fully extend each leg, she can increase her overall stride length thus conserving her energy. Daria would benefit by lowering her center of gravity and bending her knees so that she can no…

It was on the second day of the assembly that Bergoglio was elected as the 266th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Right from the beginning, Cardinal Bergoglio has defied the norms and formalities of the position. On March 16th, he stood in front of thousand of journalists and told them that he took the words spoken to him by Cardinal Hummes to hearts - ‘Don’t forget the poor’ - and thusly, chose to be named after St. Francis of Assisi, “the man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves…

It is extremely infuriating, however, if you never expect that you will be removed from your occupation especially if you think that you are doing a superb job. Cardinal Wolsey experience this sensation as he receives a letter from his king, Henry VIII, that effectively removed him from his position as an advisor for his monarch. In his soliloquy, Cardinal Wolsey uses a choice diction and a furious tone to express his…

In the New Testament, Junia, Pricilla, Phoebe, and Mary Magdalene were four females with leadership roles in the Jesus movement. These females were deaconesses, evangelists, educators, or preachers. The New Testament provides insight into the debate of female leadership and ordination during the early church movement; a debate that continues now. Certain Christian denominations today permit female ordination, while other denominations stand firm against female pastors; both use the New Testament…

This historical study will define the impact of St. Francis of Assisi on Italian cultural identity in the rejuvenation of the Roman Catholic Church in the medieval period. In the late 12th and 13th centuries, St. Francis of Assisi was a religious figure that chose to live a life of poverty and self-sacrifice in the image of Jesus Christ. During this historical period, the Roman Catholic Church had become an ostentatious and well-funded organization that did not embrace the common people of…

Martha Graham’s “Lamentation,” like many of her other works, is a direct expression of emotion; an expression of emotion through body movements. Graham was known as the “Mother of Modern Dance” and for her technique “contraction and release.” She also focused on the stability and strength of the body and keeping its control. This technique was in efforts to develop and maintain flexibility in the spine and hips, specifically in a seated position. “Lamentation” was created in response to the…
