Pilates

alternative medicine (CAM), such as Pilates, may help in its treatment and management (Potter, Perry, Stockert, & Hall, 2017). The Pilates Method The Pilates method is a system of movement and therapeutic exercise developed over a span of 60 years by German born athlete and physical therapist, Joseph H. Pilates. The method is based on ten basic principles: body awareness, balance, breath, concentration, centering, control,…

The second piece of art I chose was Christ before Pilate in this painting that is an oil canvas, we see Jesus is nearing his death. This baroque art reflected the religious tensions of the time notably the desire of the Catholic Church in Rome to reassert itself in the wake of the Protestant Reformation (Helen p. 516). Once viewing the painting we see Jesus is calm ready to accept the fate that is to transpire. Unlike Jesus the crowd depicted in the painting is unwilling to allow this injustice…

Elements of the fantastic in Songs of Solomon seem to present themselves most frequently through the character Pilate Dead. From the first moment the audience is introduced to her she is singing, "O sugarman done fly away/ Sugarman cut across the sky/ Sugarman gone home…,” (Morrison, 6). In this moment, she presents as a siren urging Robert Smith to his death with her voice. It is as if she is wielding power beyond that of a human. She is something unnatural, something with powers beyond that of…

similarities and differences. At first glance, Ruth and Pilate appear to be 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.” Nonetheless, Ruth and Pilate are, in many ways, very similar. They often found…

choose at the festivals. Pilate is hoping they would choose Jesus and he would be free of any responsibility. V:7 Marks says a prisoner by the name of Barabbas had committed murder in an insurrection. He was a nationalist who opposed Roman rule and wanted freedom from Rome. He was in prison awaiting his execution. His name is interesting, (Who can tell me just by looking at his name) it means son of the father. V:8-10 The crowd knowing the custom at these festival approach Pilate for their…

Christians know of another important death: that of the savior Jesus Christ. His death, unlike Ferdinand’s, had everything to do with the spiritual war between sin and grace. But He too needed to die at the right time: during the era of the Romans. Pilate, the Roman crucifixion process, and burial traditions in Roman times helped to make the…

is used to symbolize the blood and death of Jesus and it gives the painting a somber feeling. It is said that “Joseph of Arimathea, who was the disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed the body” (John 19:40). This helps the color red have more significance for all of the people surrounding Jesus during his crucifixion. It even displays the sadness and…

accurate. One part the film emphasized that I found surprising was the degree at which Pilate went to, in order to stop Jesus’s execution. In fact, the film suggested that there were major uprisings and that if Pilate had not ordered Jesus’s crucifixion, tons of people would have died. Perhaps even Pilate feared his own death, and loss of control of the region. I was also not aware Jesus was only beaten by Pilate in an attempt to not have him killed. I will have to look into the biblical…

trusted his father’s authority. An example of Milkman’s trust in his father’s judgement is when he first meets his aunt, Pilate, and is surprised by her kindness because his father told him that she was “ugly, dirty, poor, and drunk” (Morrison 37). Milkman learns that Pilate is “unkempt . . . but not dirty,” and “definitely not drunk” (Morrison 38). As he learns more about Pilate, he begins to question his father’s authority and judgement more. Milkman also begins to think for himself. The…

We do not know whose death will result from Milkman’s leap at Guitar, but Morrison suggests that whether Milkman kills or is killed doesn’t really matter, since Milkman, now graced with a rich sense of his identity, will live on after death just as Pilate will and just as Solomon has in the song that bears his…
