Pontius Pilate asked Jesus this same question in John 18:38, “What is truth?” Captial-T True is, according to wallace, an attitude and state of mind. It is simply an opportunity to, “decide how you’re gonna try to see it.” In this case, “IT” being any given situation a person might encounter during any given day. It is a conscious decision to be willing to look at tough, mundane, boring, and repetitive situations from a worldview other than the normal. A facet of Capital-T Truth is that, “it is…

entertainment. In Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon, Pilate is the antithetical character to Macon, Milkman’s (the protagonist) father, but by doing so she carries the major ideas of the novel on her shoulders. Like Atlas in the Greek myth, the load she carries is indispensable to the evolution of Milkman, and the development of the concepts of flight, identity, and family values throughout the novel. There is no Song of Solomon without Pilate. Pilate first enters the novel as one of the…

own last semester, I thought taking Pilate/yoga could only help achieve the level of success I wanted in mediation. Being that I am a Health Science major this is my first fitness class, which requires much more than mental work. While your mental state supports in accomplishing the moves, it will take more of the physical side to really push myself. Pilates is an activity that involves mind-body exercise to look and feel the best I can. My life without Pilates consist of constant anxiety…

Song of Solomon, Pilate Dead contributes her own sense of independence to exemplify that happiness does not always conform to the societal standards. Morrison reflects how Pilate “looked like a tall dark tree” (39) to represent that as she is not a (typical) vision of beauty, or a white woman, that her independence and fierceness is ultimately discredited (especially by Milkman).

I have personally seen some of Bernini’s work and believe it is…

In The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare first introduces Petruchio in 1.2 as he is at the front door of his good friend Hortensio with his servant Grumio. From the beginning, Petruchio can be seen as a dominant character as he was bickering with Grumio calling him a villain and threatening him by saying “... I’ll knock your knave’s pate” (1.2.10). Petruchio continues to display his brazen and controlling attributes throughout the play and until the end of the play making him a static character.…

glance, Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon portrays Ruth and Pilate as complete opposites. Morrison describes their differences as, “One black, the other lemony. One corseted, the other buck naked under her dress. One well read but ill traveled. The other had read only a geography book, but had been from one end of the country to another. One wholly dependent on money for life, the other indifferent to it”(139). Nonetheless, Ruth and Pilate are, in many ways, very similar: they often find…
