He was born into a family with small nobility and a history of involvement in Florence complex political scene. His mother, Bella degli Abbati, came from a family of wealthy landowners but died a few years later after his birth. His father, Alighiero di Bellincione, whom Dante seemed to have avoid mentioning as much as possible, soon remarried with Lapa di Chiarissimo Cialuffi. His father made…

Emperor died, the other major faction in Florence (the Guelph faction) was able to take control of the city. Farinata fled to Sicily along with his supporters, before leading a successful military campaign to take back control of Florence. He then happily lived out the rest of his life, but when the city of Florence was taken over again by the Guelph, his corpse encountered some trouble. It was dug out of the ground, and mutilated by the Guelph (Wikimedia…

Throughout reading Dante’s Inferno written by Dante Alighieri, Dante wanders through Hell, escorted by the Roman poet Virgil. Together, the pair move on through the nine circles of Hell, witnessing the horrors inflicted on the souls of the damned. In this Divine Comedy, Dante molded the arrangement of hell and the circles justly based on events that occurred and experiences the poet witnessed in his life because Dante’s Inferno is a work of fiction. This is made clear through Dante’s expulsion…

For the most part, I agreed with the message and content of the film, “Chasing Ice”. There was only one point that I had trouble accepting. In the film, when they mentioned people did not believe in climate change, I was intrigued by the opposing view and wanted to understand why they thought that way. I did not understand why people could doubt global warming when a strong study on the Yukon glaciers highly suggested it was real. A group of scientists watched the Yukon glaciers from 1958-2008…

Smoothie Separation Lab Report 1) Our final smoothie product was not separated. We accomplished this by the addition of the Milk Juice smoothie stabilizer at around 3/4 of a teaspoon. We added that to about 2/3 of a cup of water that we were heating up on the stove and stirred until the stabilizer dissolved.

first glance, Brunetto’s appearance is like many of Dante’s periodic mentions of his friends, mentors, and enemies- either relatively meaningless or to shed some point on his hate for the Black Guelphs (those who exiled him from Florence) or likeness for the White Guelphs on his side. Brunetto was a Guelph writer who also spent many years in exile and wrote allegorical journeys that greatly inspired Dante to write The Divine Comedy. The structure and tone of the passage reveals a greater point…

Malachi Fox Kristy Wooten English 112 – 802 October 15, 2016 Animal Testing: An Annotated Bibliography While browsing Youtube one day, I came across a video from “Veritasium” about research being done in Switzerland to help paralyzed rats walk again. They would intentionally cut the rat’s spine to prevent brain signals from reaching the legs and then try to get them to walk again. The researchers discovered that the nerves in the rat’s spine could heal themselves if the rat was motivated to…
