Gate

On Commencement day when I pass through the gates of Porter’s Lodge, I will see the words “Know Thyself” and think back on the ways that College of Charleston helped me discover my true self. During high school, it’s hard to know exactly who I am. College is the time where everyone gets a clean slate and is free to be whoever they want to be. It is the time to discover myself. Throughout high school, I have been under my parent’s wings and they have done everything for me. However, I have to…

Afterwards, the Gilgamesh and Ekindu plan to use the lumber from the tress to build a gate, with Ekindu stating, “My friend, we have felled the lofty cedar… I will make a door six times twelve cubits high, two times twelve cubits wide, One cubit shall be its thickness… Let no stranger approach it, may only a god go through.” By using…

The piece of artwork I have chosen to critique is the Lion Gate architecture found on page 39 in the textbook. The Lion Gate is the main entrance to the citadel of Mycenae. Mycenae is located on top of a small mountain. The gate is ten feet both wide and high, and narrows as it rises. The triangular shape prevents the lintel from falling in and breaking by evenly distributing weight. It was constructed of rock, gold, and clay. It is also a perfect example of a post-and-lintel arch. The top…

John the Baptist rebuking the Pharisees and Sadducees for boasting about their heritage. No one goes to heaven because of their association with a nation, their heritage or their traditions.

We see and follow leaders everyday such as teachers, parents, fellow peers and even sometimes we’re the…

We are to look to the Cross, to Christ, the Light and the gate; that He may be our Savior, and we will be recognized and robed in His Holy Light at the dawn of eternity. I have…

friction. A photo-gate was also placed onto the air track, and this was connected to the computer program, LoggerPro. When the experimental arrangement was completed, the mass of the glider and flag was determined. For the first trial, no additional weights were added onto the glider + flag or the hanger. The air machine was turned on, and the photo-gate was positioned such that the speed of the glider could be measured after it has traveled a distance d, which was set to 0.50m. The photo-gate…
