Located in front of the Telfair Museum in Savannah, Georgia is a statue of the Greek architect-sculptor Phidias. The statue of Phidias fits in well with its surroundings. It is centered by four other statues. The surrounding statues are also iconic artists: Michelangelo, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Raphael. The artists’ statues are purposefully placed in front of the Telfair Museum because the Telfair is an art museum. All of the statues are lifted on pedestals. The Phidias statue is about four…

Your sister is relentlessly struggling from your sexual assault. Tears are flowing down her cheek and her mascara is ruining her beautiful complexion. It appears the alcohol she consumed is wearing off. It will be a hassle, if she remembers the the next day of her rape. Even more troubling, if she reports the rape to the police or your parents. -You need to think of another solution to make her more gullible. You release your hold on Katie's arms and sat beside her. You smile pleasantly to…

Siblings can quite often be the longest relationship someone will have in their lifetime. Though many people hold the principle that having one child is the way to succeed in today's society and economy, the benefits to having multiple children is vast and expansive. The benefits outweigh the negatives to having siblings. Just as author Jeffrey Kluger states in his article The New Science of Siblings, from the time that we are born our siblings are our collaborators and co-conspirators, our role…

The saint that I chose for Confirmation is Saint Rose of Lima. I chose Saint Rose of Lima as my saint because she was the first saint that I learned about. When I was little my grandma used to talk about how Saint Rose was her confirmation saint and how much that my grandma looked up to Rose when she was a little girl. I also loved how much Saint Rose cared about everyone that she met throughout her life. Saint Rose was raised in a Catholic family, but her faith grew stronger as she grew older…

Question How does distilled water, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, stabilized, at 3% concentration as a dilute solution), and rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol) affect leaves detached from their trees? Hypothesis If I submerge leaves in distilled water, then the leaves will become wet and softer (relative to their original state), because that is what happens to detached leaves after it rains. If I submerge leaves in hydrogen peroxide, then the leaves will become whitened and the distinct…

I strongly believe that it is beneficial for children to have siblings, and that only children have disadvantages in life. Siblings are an important part of a child's helping by improving each others social skills as they grow up. In the future they are people who will always look out for one another, help improve and achieve goals, and work from each others ideas. First of all siblings are a major part in a child's early years as they help stimulate each others minds. To begin with…

execute Jesus ' commandment of loving others as ourselves (Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, 2005). The Catholic Church explains that charity is essential, "it is the bond of perfection" (Colossians 3:14) which seethes life, inspiration and order into one 's life (Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, 2005). It is common for our current secular society to overlook the vulnerable and broken people within our society. The acts of these charitable organisations provide these vulnerable…

The relationship held by siblings is mystifying. It is full of wonder and in which one can fight for hours with them, but when the battle is over five minutes later they rejoice and at times end up doing something ridiculous but joyous together that only they understand. Sadly, at times the relationship can go to the extreme of sibling rivalry. This was the case of Jessica Lun She Evans in “coming home”. She had a fear that any other person might have when they understand there will be a new…

Being an older child in a family does not always have its benefits. Sometimes it puts you at a disadvantage when having younger brothers/sisters. Your parents might let them get away with more than they ever let you get away with, or they might even take up for them more than they would you. Having your parents and relatives take up for them in times that you know they should be either upset or disappointed in them might make you try to point it out to them. It would create an internal battle…

I am from Haiti this is the story of my life and how people think I am so “Rich and everything that I have are “handed” to me. When I was in Haiti I was living in the smallest house you could possibly imagine. Life was hard I had to work for everything and I mean work hard some days are better than others. Sometime it could be a great day where my mom come home and she is able to cook us something to eat, but some days when she come home from being gone all day she come home with nothing.…
