Arabian III is a painting, created by Margaret Keane in 2005, which depicts the head of an Arabian horse. This alone makes it quite unique from many of her earlier artworks, or other works in general, which typically feature women and children. One aspect that remains, and will likely remain until the end of Keane’s career as an artist, are her signature Keane Eyes. Margaret is known for painting whimsically large eyes on any and all of her subjects in paintings. This has been true ever since the beginning of her career, and while she may have discovered her reason for painting them, she will always keep the painting style that she has grown accustomed to over the years.1 Margaret began her art career before marrying Walter Keane, but it took

  • The Great Mahele Research Paper

    660 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Great Mahele was the division of land created by Kamehameha III in 1848. There are four parts in the Great Mahele, and the parts of the division belonged to the king, the ali’i, the maka’ainana, the foreigners, and whoever wanted to buy land, bought land. The Mahele was created because Kamehameha III was afraid that the foreigners who had a lot of power, would take over all of the Hawaiian Islands. Previously on the islands of Tahiti, the French had taken over by force and Kamehameha III was worried the same would happen to them. The Mahele was an unjustified act because first, the foreigners treated the Hawaiians unfairly, secondly the property of the Hawaiians was destroyed, and lastly the Hawaiians were short on supplies to live (Borreca).

  • The Persian Letters by Montesquieu

    974 Words  | 2 Pages

    The book The Persian Letters by Montesquieu is a fictional novel that was written by the author so he could comment on the society in which he was living. This novel has served as a good example of the ideas that were present during the early Enlightenment. There are many ideas and themes that Montesquieu discusses by using the point of view of two Persian travelers in Europe that correspond with letters to each other and others back in Persia. By using a foreigner's perspective, Montesquieu was able to present things in a way that gave a much more lasting effect then if he had used two Frenchman commenting on their own country. Through the many themes in the book, one that is prevalent is Montesquieu's attitude and ideas towards religion. The use of a Muslim Persian is quite effective in commenting on Christianity because the religions are alike in that they are both monotheistic, which can be good for drawing comparisons. Montesquieu believes that God is just and obedience to his laws is crucial. He does not see anything wrong with having different religions because all of them have precepts that are useful to society. All the different religions promote obedience to the law and require their followers to be good and just. He believes that even if there was no God these ideas can still help society function correctly. Montesquieu also criticizes numerous aspects of established religion and shows that he sees it as useless and so he responds to it with indifference. He feels God's precepts are of the greatest importance and that is exactly what has been lost from the established church. Montesquieu's beliefs were also similar to many of the other philosophes. They criticized the established church and 'certainly opposed the ritual forms of both Catholic and Protestant worship'; (O'Brien et al 631).
