I Will Not Bow

In the past week I visited Museum of Art's and Sciences also known as MOAS. Walking through this exhibit a few pieces of art caught my eye. The art work Florida Dreamscape VIII 1984 by Steven Lotz in the Florida paintings really drew me in. Looking at this painting done with Liquetex acrylic on gesso board really spoke with color. The wet liquetex acrylic gives the painting a very wet stature. Making it seem soft yet saturated with color. The Organic shapes on the Lotus flower gave it a distinct…

science guy.” Even though that is a great accomplishment. His qualities that make him great include: his contributions to science, his bow tie, his way of making science enjoyable and much more. He is an advocate for climate change and hopes electrical engineers will help change how energy is distributed and stored. “Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is the most serious environmental issue facing us.” (Bill Nye). Through his show “Bill Nye the Science Guy” he…

The Odyssey is well-known, and critically acclaimed ancient collection of mythical poetry. Homer, does a fantastic job of bringing the main character, Odysseus to life, and expressing the traits of an epic hero inside him. Reading the Odyssey, notice how ancient Greek society and its philosophical ideals and how they play a key role in the many stories.

shown when Penelope makes an agreement with the suitors that the first to string Odysseus’s hunting bow will be her future husband. Telemakus quickly realizes the opportunity this brings and ambitiously declares he’d be the first to try it. He swiftly begins to dig a ditch, a technique that he had never seen anyone do, but was able to perform it with great accuracy. He then begins to “… attempt the bow. / Three times he put his back into it and sprang it / three times he had to sack off. / … A…

Picts are inaccurate while the weapons used by the Anglo-Saxons are accurate. In the movie, the Roman army used a wide range of weapons from the following: daggers, short sword, long sword, bows, Cavalry, and even Lancelot is seen in the final battle were he wielded dual swords as he fought. The Picts used bows in the majority of their fights and only used short swords or hatchets when engaged in close quarters combat.

Of course she is nervous: she is unsure of herself and this bow is a minor rebellion against the judgment of her social group. Lucy is not at this stage ready to flour responsibly.

when it goes to far. Despite the dangers shown I would say that given today’s society, parents should be “pushing” their children to excel at school while still giving them a chance to have a childhood. In today’s society it is not longer good enough to just show up and expect good things to happen to you. Children need to be pushed to do well in school or else they will never get to where they want to be or to where you want them to be. In Nipawin I saw too many kids getting…

The young man held no excitement on his lightly tanned face, just a small glimmer of satisfaction in his own abilities hidden in his emerald eyes. With careful movements his calf-length leather boots slid through the brambles he’d hidden behind, taking care to not ruin the dark green trousers that tucked into them.His short tunic was the same color, and was tucked into a simple…

What is love? Its the uttermost compelling ecstasy of life. Sure I love video game, doing my hair, and buying cloth. However none of those can surpass to the romantic awareness that you have for a certain person. Thus, it ignites a blazing infernal flame within the profoundly heart of the soul. Hence, days of introspecting as I question the attribute and nature of this feeling which I have bred for years. This passion compels myself to be elated when my eye gazes upon him even during the…
