Valentine

doing this, I learned about what kind of character Valentine is and I learned about her personality. For my body biography of Valentine, my first symbol is a heart to symbolize how she is a loving and caring person, especially when something involves her brother Ender. Valentine’s love for Ender plays a major role in the novel. I placed the heart symbol on her chest where an actual heart would be located because it truly represents how Valentine is such a loving character. In Ender’s Game, there…

One legend says that Valentine was a priest. When Emperor Claudius II made the decision that solitary men made better soldiers than ones with wives and families, he forbid marriage for them.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses the display of the reliquary of the right arm of St. Valentine. This Medieval arm is a silver, sapphire and partial gilt piece of metal-work that was dated to the fourteenth century. It is a Swiss piece of artwork that was intended to house a relic. Reliquaries acted as caskets for greatly valued relics of influential individuals in society such as a religious figure or a saint. They are often an indication of what class or of what hierarchical standing a…

The short story “The Reformation of Jimmy Valentine - Safecracker” by Shellie Braeuer has the theme, crime and the law. The first example of this statement is when after three bank robberies occur in the same area the text states “The losses were now significant enough to inform Detective Ben Price of the matter. He investigated the scenes of the robberies, carefully reviewing the police reports in each case.” (Braeuer, 3). This quote from the text shows that the law in detective Ben Price is…

The two poems I 've chosen are Valentine and Mean Time by Carol Ann Duffy. The poems come from the collection 'Mean Time ' and both have themes of love, loss and regret. The title 'Valentine ' has strong connotations with love and lust however the opening line is a contradiction to this.

Carol Ann Duffy refers to the figurative onion being peeled “like the careful undressing of love”, emphasising the compassionate and…

Valentine had always known it was going to end someday. Since youth, he had been unable to deny the inevitability of his certain death. This, however, was not the way he’d ever imagined it all ending. “I’m sorry,” said a voice over the speakers- over all of them, in fact, that the man could locate in his vicinity. “But this is the day that the world will come to an end.” In the blank following the announcement, distant cicadas resumed their noisy stridulation. Air conditioners hummed, only…
