The Chartres Cathedral and the Nanna Ziggurat are wonderful representatives for their geographical origins. The Chartres Cathedral, found on page 360 in the textbook, is a masterful example of Gothic architecture. The Nanna Ziggurat, found on page 324 of the textbook, is a simply designed geometric structure, created before complex architecture classifications. Both the Chartres Cathedral and Nanna Ziggurat contrast visually and structurally. While they ostensibly differ, in truth, the Chartres…

Ben and Rose have many similarities in their lives, even though they have a very large age difference. They are both deaf, and struggle with it.

When Ben first loses his hearing completely, he is very confused. He sees a terrible storm out of the window, but no pounding of the water hitting the ground, or the…

Though Queen Margaret was clearly a powerful and influential Queen, Shakespeare dismissed her political accomplishments. In Richard III, the playwright only mentions to her actual involvement in the War of Roses once, referring to when Margaret took a cloth drenched in Rutland's blood and waved it in front of Richard Plantagenet's face: “The curse my noble father laid on thee, / When thou didst crown his warlike brows with paper / And with thy scorns drew'st rivers from his eyes, / And then, to…

Rose for Emily William Faulkner’s story “A Rose for Emily” is an outstanding literature masterpiece revealing the secret “nooks” of the human heart in general and the heart of Emily Grierson in particular. This story touches, shocks, makes feel disgust for the town’s people and arouses mixed feeling for Miss Emily. The structure of the story, the depth of the personality analysis as well as the element of suspense immensely contributes to the message of the story. The analysis of the character…

In this chapter of Murray’s book, he examines gothic cathedrals as objects of desire and the relationships between these objects and their agents of its creation. Using Saint Denis as its main example, Murray uses the writings of three principle agents: the ecclesiastical patron, artisans and financers. For his example of Saint Denis, he focused on the writings, illustrations, and correspondence of Abbot Suger, Gervase of Canterbury, and Villard de Honnecourt. He begins by reflecting on how a…

Bread and Roses is a labour movement the shows that it isn’t just about getting enough money to survive, but also getting money to do things that are considered little luxuries, like having extra money to buy roses. Having enough money to put food on the table is a good thing, but when people are constantly living paycheque to paycheque and not having the option to spend money on things such as school, clothes, or other necessitates, you never get the chance to move up on Maslow’s Pyramid. In…

of the Roses is one of the most significant events that made an enormous change to the British Parliament and England’s line of succession. However, there were limitless sacrifices that were committed to transition to the era of peace and prosperity. The royal English family was divided into two parts: the House of York and the House of Lancaster (R. Lacey, 2007, p. 166-169). These two houses fought for the crown to the throne. Because of the feud between the two houses, the War of the Roses…

“In the design of the building itself it is often difficult to draw a line between practical necessity and deliberate intention, since Iktinos seems subtly to have exploited the former in the latter.” This quote about the Greek Parthenon, taken from Pollitt’s work on ancient Greek art and separated from its context, could almost be applied to a description of a much later, almost millennia later, Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral. While separated both by time and location, each ‘temple’ was created…

A well known author William Faulkner, wrote “A Rose For Emily” in this story a rose never physically appears. The rose is however a symbol that lays over the whole story like a blanket. I want to signify the three different symbols that the rose symbolizes throughout the story. Those three symbols that the rose represents would be love, the dream of being loved, and the third one is just me describing what the rose symbolizes to the author. Everyone in the town knew that Emily had never been…
