spacious, and the pieces were very well ordered. The pieces were hung vertically or horizontally, and I liked this because it got my attention. Most of the pieces had a variety of different colors that created a contrasting pattern. Each of the pieces was very unique, and each had different characteristics. Before taking art 160 I would have never thought that art could be made from PVC foam. When I looked at the pieces closely I was able to notice that they were made in individual pieces then put together
very well done, I did not find a piece which “spoke to me” in a way. I had hoped for this, since I am always looking for new art to enjoy. When I went to take pictures of some of the pieces, I found that the battery of my camera ran out of energy. I left, and waited for another day to take pictures. While thinking about which piece to analyze, “Procession-You are on Your Way!” slowly grew on me, and when I returned I found that I gained an appreciation for this piece. “Procession-You are on Your Way
a tribute, a eulogy of sorts. But as with any other story, there is more than one level to The Book of the Duchess. One of the things Geoffrey Chaucer seemed to do in The Book of the Duchess was to define refined love. Chaucer gave the first pieces of his definition of refined love within the story of the King Seys and his wife Alcione. This first idea that Chaucer gives of refined love is of what one should feel when his or her love is gone longer than he or she should be. Seys had gone on
Castles and Kings Chess, which is believed to have originated in India, has come a long way since it’s earliest record and perhaps violent history. Since it’s origin, chess has undergone a few changes. One of the biggest changes in chess is the switch from classical openings to a new style referred to as hypermodern openings.

Chess Chess is a game, played by two players. One player plays with the white pieces, and the other player plays with the black pieces. Each player has sixteen pieces in the beginning of the game: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The game is played on a chessboard, consisting of 64 squares: eight rows and eight columns. The squares are alternately light (white) and dark colored.

Introduction The game of chess is a traditional 8x8 board game in which two opponents, who are in possession of 16 pieces, use strategic movement of those pieces to conquer, or ‘checkmate’, the enemy’s king.

The Knight’s tour is a mathematical puzzle that has endured for 1000 years. The objective of the puzzle is simple

The movie I chose was very interesting and very entertaining. This movie was about chess—a game about smarts and staying a step ahead of your opponent—Life of a King. This movie is slightly predictable, but intriguing. It is based on the true story about an ex con artist Eugene Brown who turned into a youth mentor for a bad school. The drama throughout this story was very intriguing however it was predictable. Intense to a certain extent, the movie hits all of the notes that will be told for the
1. What happened in this film was a by-product of structural functionalism, behavioural psychology and anomic suicide. In structural functionalism, each institution in the society has a specific job or role to play and each role has a status attached to it. This can be presented in the film as the warden has full control of what happens in the prison and order the prison guards (who is below the warden) and the prisoners are below prison guards. There is a lot of corruption in these roles in the

Tan explained the feelings of Waverly through an important symbolic imaginary chess game as she wrote, “My white pieces screamed as they scurried and fell off the board one by one.

Chess Chess is one of the oldest games still played today. It began in India probably in the 6th century. This game spread throughout Asia and later into Europe around 900. Chess went through the evolution of different pieces, boards, and rules, and did not settle until the 19th century. When it did stop its evolution, chess was left with chivalric European names for its pieces. At this time, chess, was known all over the world, and people began to play for championships.

It seems since the beginning of time people have been playing the game of chess as a hobby or pastime. There are strict rules to the perplexing game and a considerable amount of thought is put into each move. In recent years it has gained a considerable competitive edge unlike before, as well as the respect to call it a sport by some. Although chess is widely recognized, in the end it is only a game. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is a familiar name to many. Soon they are to decide which
mind and sport especially when the "sport" under consideration is chess. It is difficult to picture the game as a sport when the most physical activity it seems to require is moving the pieces across the board. Recently, though, the Olympic committee voted chess legal for competition in "The Games."

brief mention of chess, but I did not realize why until I finished the book and had time to think about what I had read. In a very interesting sense, the entire novel resembles the game of chess. Each character is a piece, and the name of the game is survival. Though the ultimate goal in chess is to take possession of the king, the underlying strategy is to eliminate as many pieces as one possibly can. This serves as insurance in the overall goal. Being that the characters/pieces determine the
directed by Steven Zaillian, is about a young boy named Josh Waitzkin, who is very good at chess. In this film, Josh experiences both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation which shows the audience that is better to motivate ourselves instead of being motivated by others which would lead to frustration and disappointment. Intrinsic motivation is shown when Josh wants to play chess for fun. For example, Josh plays speed chess in the park. No one is forcing or pressuring him to play; he just wants to play and
