    Maria Sharapova Essay

    Be it through television, radio, or toys, we are a product of our childhood. The things we experience as children daily have an enormous, impressionable impact on our lives. For me, childhood wasn’t a typical cookie-cutter situation. For me, the character that stuck with me the most during my childhood wasn’t a toy or television character; it was a tennis player by the name of Maria Sharapova. To understand my––for lack of a better word––obsession, let’s set the scene. It’s been approximately a…

    Summer in a Day” by: Ray Bradbury, a girl is put on Venus and is picked on by all the other Venusian kids for remembering the sun. They are mad, you see, because the sun only ever comes out every 7 years for only 2 hours.

    The Venus flytrap is a plant native to wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. The scientific name for the Venus Fly Trap is Dionaea Muscipula. It’s one of the most fascinating plants to have ever existed due to its omnivorous nature. Darwin noted, “‘I care more for Drosera than the origin of species ... it is a wonderful plant, or rather a most sagacious animal.

These two works are particularly important because the “Venus of Urbino” is most often referred to as the…

She uses a white canvas to place her cream colored frames for the wigs, the majority of them being black, with the exception of one white wig.

    Titian’s Venus of Urbino is a perfect example. Similar to humanism, this piece of art emphasizes physical beauty. In this painting, Venus, a goddess lacks characteristics that a goddess would typically possess. For instance, in this painting one can notice her seductive expression on her face, which would be seen as risqué in the Middle Ages. In addition, Titian was successful in using perspective when crafting this painting. As you can see, the young girl in the background, possibly Venus’…
