The Castle Is it the laid back nature of the typical Australian, the picture perfect landscape we live in, or the cultural diversity that makes Australia what it is today? Features such as these have been used as a way of describing Australia for decades. However, do they truly capture the Australian identity? (Change slide) Good afternoon Ladies and gentlemen. I am here today to outline why The Castle, one of Australia’s most iconic films, should be included in the Australian Film Festival.…
very important. Without really putting in the work to make such landmarks presentable and runnable, visitors would not be able to entirely enjoy and learn the rich history that the historic place has to offer. During my role as an intern at Atalaya Castle, the winter home of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington, at Huntington Beach State Park, I was able to abundantly understand how important it is to pay close attention to understanding the importance of explanation and conservation. While…
Simone Kett 14164809 Christina Morin English and History LM035 1473 words 17 October 2014 The manner in which Burke’s idea of the Sublime emerges in the Castle of Otranto According to Edmund Burke, the sublime is the most intense feeling we are capable of feeling. It is both pain and pleasure drove by complete astonishment. In The origins of our ideas of the beautiful and the sublime, Burke states that “the passion caused by the great and the sublime in nature, when those causes operate…
courage to take charge of her life, to maximize her potential. Without Walls’ courage she would not have the ability to be who she is today. She had the courage to make her own way out of poverty. Although some of the events that take place in The Glass Castle might seem just a series of events that shape her and her family, I believe the core identity of Jeannette’s book was courage. This is what sets her apart from those who started and remain in poverty to those who turn their situation…
allowed me to view a real life example. Ever since I read the book, those ideas have stuck with me. Even through the rough times, I have tried to remember the things I have learned from this book. Through the writings of Jeannette Walls in The Glass Castle, I learned to never take anything for granted in my life and to appreciate the things I have because…
revolving door effect amongst criminals. There is a need for an interruption of that effect. Frank Castle, known as the Punisher, is seemingly a means to an end. Crossing lines that no one dares to approach. Killing sometimes with ruthlessness, but only to those who have given the community the same, if not more than its share of unthinkable malicious crimes. Utilitarian views will show that Frank Castle is needed, while deontological views only confirm that his actions are not legal, but…
Medieval castles were built in the middle ages in europe and the Middle East as a structure to provide protection. Castles shouldn't be confused with the “Palaces” that we are familiar with today, Medieval castles weren't made for comfort although they were great for protection. Castles were drafty, gloomy and damp. The fireplaces typically smoked up the rooms. The only light besides was from flickering torches. The floors were either bare stone or covered with animal furs. What furniture they…
Castle Beloved/flash version "Welcome to the pub folks, what can we get you? The kitchen is open until eleven, they can make up pretty much whatever you'd like. Can I tempt you with a pint of our finest ale?" Tourists falling into the pub are almost routine, these days. It's the castle on the hill. It isn't ancient, or even very old, but there is a history to it. People come to see the castle, but there are no tours. They come in here, disappointed, grab a pint and listen to tales of Rob and…

I have been developing my worldview for the past 22 years. Every single day I expand my worldview by reading, listening, watching, exploring, and learning. Although I have been expanding my worldview since I was born I have been narrowing down and focusing on my worldview when I entered college. Taking Core IX has helped me stabilize my current worldview. As we study Christian Humanism I find myself aligning more with these values. A Christian Humanist recognizes the inherent dignity in every…
