    • 5 Pages

    Innumerable works of art found in any of the myriad ancient artistic eras have specific purposes and are created with methods common in their particular setting.

    Standing majestically with a gaze protruding from a body of “white limestone and alabaster…” (MET), the Human-headed winged lion measures up to 10 feet and 3 ½ inches in height. Also referred to as the Lamassu, the sculpture is adorned with a “horned crown” that represents a spiritual holiness. Despite the crown’s intention to convey a state of “divinity”, it is in my observation to point out how outwardly phallic the top of the Lamassu head appears. It may be a vague symbol of masculine power…

Typically within a film, you, the viewer, is presented with a problem or situation and it is up to you to come up with the solution. These situations may have good results or bad, but it is always up to the viewer to discover the solution. Discovering a solution is not always easy.

    Research Paper On Hamlet

    • 701 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Hamlet There are multiple editions of Hamlet that have been published since Shakespeare’s time. The three main editions are known as the Quartos (one and two) and the First Folio. Because of this, the contents of Hamlet may vary from edition to edition. This was something that surprised me when I first found out about it, so when I looked up two online editions I wanted them to be completely different so I could see how the text had been changed. Folger Digital Texts had a clear and…

    recognition, written records were scratched out or splintered to bits (Arnold, 270). No one knows exactly why everything was destroyed. Most likely, Egyptians did not want anyone to know that they had a female pharaoh. Some historians wonder if Thutmose III was upset that Hatshepsut took away his birthright and destroyed records of her to get back at her. Whatever the reason, their work was in vain, because even after all these years, records were still found of her reign, and some mentions of…

    Rocky Balboa is my hero and a roll model for me. Today I had the pleasure of spending my whole day with my icon, in the city of “Brotherly Love”. We met up early in the morning at his gym for our morning workout. After we finished the workout we went out to lunch at Pat’s Dinner, where I asked him questions about his teenager days. The last thing that Rocky and I did on our day was that he took me through the city and showed me many of the places of the city that meant the most to him. I…

    Callan Gillison 10/17/15 HUM 388.04 Prof. Benton Rocky Who doesn’t love the movie Rocky? In my opinion the movie is one of the best movies of all time. Yes, the movie is just one of those typical inspirational underdog stories about the American Dream, but in my opinion the movie tells the story of the underdog the best. While you make think that is the main theme of this movie, to me this is more of a secondary theme; this movie is more than just a story about the underdog. The main theme in…
