The stories of the Christians being fed to the lions could have been fueled by the insanity of Christians to willingly die according to the pagans. It would be hard to argue that Christians were tossed to the lions for being Christians because most surviving accounts and evidence comes from Christians. The small Christian population at the time would have reason to exaggerate the truth in a empire surrounded by “bloodthirsty” pagans calling for the lions. The Christians being apart of the lower…

Formal Analysis The art piece that I am choosing to write my formal analysis on is A “Sunday afternoon on the island of LA Grande Jette” by Georges Seurat. The reason that I am choosing this piece is because ever since I was a small child and I saw this piece in an art class at my elementary school, I was always fascinated on the beauty and the simplicity of this piece. This piece represents what a Sunday afternoon on the island of La Grande Jette would look like around the year of 1884. As you…

Harry I pull out the Uno cards and deal them out. One hand for me and another so I don’t feel lonely. I flip the top card, and one of the cards from the other hand fly over and lands on top. A blue 4. I freeze. Was there someone in the room with me? I look at my hand put down a green 4. Suddenly, there’s a series of taps. Tap, tap, tap, tap pause, tap tap. Morse code. Hi. I hesitate. “Hello. Are you a ghost? Can you speak?” He taps, “Yes.” And I wait. A male voice fills the room. “I do I just…

completely theoretical idea was that he probably already knew I was following him, and didn’t care to question that fact. He was striking, in the sense that he stood out amongst those in a crowd of average tastes. He took on a sort of "punk-rock" look, with a badass leather jacket and half-calf lace up boots. His face had enough piercings and retro jewelry on it to smelt into a two liter can of diced pineapple, though actually, in retrospect, I don't think they make two liter cans of diced…

meal tonight! I ate it all up, even though I don’t like carrots. I learned how to swim this summer! I can open my eyes underwater! It’s been 5 years now daddy. I’m in the 5th grade. Math is hard but I like computers. Mommy lets me sleep in your T-shirts. I think it still smells like you. I don’t need to sleep with the light on anymore. I try not to cry but it still hurts! I miss you. It’s been 10 years daddy I started high school I made the honor roll. I hope you are proud of me. I also made the…

Historical texts are often respected for their informational objectivity whereas art is revered for its visual and philosophical subjectivity. In respect to both historical texts and artistic vision one must be able to differentiate what is perceived and what is accurate. Eusebius’ Life of Constantine is a biography depicting the rule of the late Roman emperor Constantine, exercises offered by Peter Jenny’s The Artist’s Eye uses art as an exploratory aide to decipher a more profound meaning to…

For my and my wife’s first year anniversary, we decided to go on trip to the Bahamas. We bought our tickets and started to google things for us to do while we were there. I knew I wanted to go scuba diving but my wife felt uncomfortable going so we agreed on snuba diving. It was one of the best experiences of our lives ! The bus to pick us up arrived finally around at noon. It was about a 45-minute drive from our hotel to Stuart’s Cove, where we would be going snuba diving. Snuba diving is a…

father knew that Harry didn’t have courage. But when he brings back the bird that attacked the sheep, Harry’s dad never looked at him the same. In my life in second grade, I did something that I shouldn’t had and I lied about it in the beginning. After I saw that things were getting worse and other people might get in trouble, i decided to own up to my mistake. Buck’s greatest act of courage was the fight with Spitz. Spitz was the lead dog at the…

A few summers back, my family and I took a trip out to Flagler Beach, Florida, not too far from Daytona. A few days into the vacation, the girls had gone out for a shopping trip, so, because there was a slight drizzle, my Dad and I decided to just chill out and watch some TV until the weather decided to calm down. This was a vacation that will never be forgotten. My ears perk up as I notice the quieting of the rain against the window. I get up and walk over, pushing the roughly sewn curtain to…
