I stepped through the doors of school that year, I noticed the stares I got from all the guys. Warnings my mother had told me rang in my ears, “all the want is one thing.” “Don’t let them lure you in it’s a trap don’t listen to there phony pick up lines.” That was when my problems started; boys were always asking me out. I know that to any other girl that’s not known as a problem, but for me I knew why they wanted me. After refusing everyone I became the class loner, I knew what they were saying behind
world. However, most believe that fashion should never cross the line of good taste. We have watched singers like Madonna and Lady Gaga “re-invent’ themselves each year by creating new outfits with outrageous fashion in art and advertising to sell their music. Now there are cases when the expression of these creations in retail promotions step over the line and offend some viewers, or cause controversy among the American people. The fine line between freedom of speech and the need for censorship
Congratulations, County High Class of 2012, our thirteen-year marathon is over. Some of you may know I am a distance runner, part of an immensely successful cross-country and distance track program. We were fourth at the state cross-country championships, and we are the best senior boys team in the state. My involvement in athletics truly linked me with our school and granted me friends whom I will remember for a lifetime. One of the most important aspects of my time in high school was getting involved
around the 8th century. In the dream, the cross, or rood on which Christ died, visits the poet. It tells its story of the crucifixion of Christ from its point of view. The effect of making the cross a character with its own voice in the “Dream of the Rood,” allows the author to express the cross’s heroism throughout the poem. In the biblical story of the crucifixion, Jesus is the sole protagonist and savior who died for the sins of others. Making the cross a character allows it to be the protagonist

of wondering: “Ride Like the Wind,” by Christopher Cross. With an uncommon “storyline [that] is one not often heard on Adult Contemporary radio,” Cross was able to gain instant fame as a result (“Ride Like the Wind” par. 1). Within “Ride Like the Wind’s” promo video, Cross and his band are shown playing as part of a studio recording. Though there was rarely anything portrayed that would make the video display a visual message, Christopher Cross romanticizes the idea of a wanted man escaping the
affecting resistance are material wire is made of, length of wire, temperature and cross sectional area of wire. I will use cross sectional area of wire and length of wire because I think it will be hard to draw conclusions from the material of wire. I am not doing temperature because it would be hard to get results from and I think they wouldn't be as accurate. I will set up a circuit to find out how length and cross sectional area affect resistance. I will need the following components in
poem can be interpreted to tell the story of the Ku Klux Klan burning a cross in the speaker’s yard. The variations in repetition that Tretheway uses throughout the poem shows that although the details of a story can change, the idea of racial intolerance prevails regardless of what version of the story is told. “Incident” consists of five quatrain stanzas. The lines in the poem are in pantoum form, with the second and fourth lines in the first stanza matching the first and third of the next stanza
The Raising of the Cross is one in a series of paintings based on the crucifixion of Christ by Peter Paul Rubens. This piece was painted between 1609 and 1610 with oil on canvas in life size with the centerpiece of the triptych measuring 15’2” by 11’2”. It is now displayed in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp, Belgium (Dunton, 164). Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish artist that painted in Baroque style, his paintings were mostly of religious and mythical origin and his skill in such has been
For instance, in “Facing it”, line one, Komunyakaa describes his black face fading (1), and “hiding inside the black granite” (2). The sad tone he says it with, shows some shame he has of making it out alive while thousands of others did not. He feels shameful for existing among the names listed. Half way down the poem, Komunyakaa begins to scroll “down the 58,022 names/, half-expecting to find/ his own in letters like smoke” (lines 14-16). This shows that he feels guilty he survived
Book Report on Clara Barton Clara Barton attacked many social problems of the 1800’s. From creating a free school, to being on the front lines helping soldiers in the Civil War, to creating the American Red Cross, Clara Barton was a humanitarian. She fought for what she believed in and because of her never-ending fight for people, the world is a different place. Clara Barton was born during 1821 in Massachusetts. As a young child, Barton learned a great deal of schooling from her older
Mosan, Belgium. This artwork is currently on display in the Jerusalem exhibit at the MET. The Stavelot Triptych not only tells the story of the True Cross, but it shows the division of the Roman Empire, division of Christianity and the artistic differences between the East and the West. This formal analysis will express how the structure/shape, color, line, composition and techniques/ textures contribute to the meaning of the triptych. The structure is a combination of three triptychs in one, which
church’s idea of perfectness and the idea of the Earth being the center of the universe. The church also enforced that God and the church should be the center of everyone’s lives, and Rembrandt challenges this idea through his painting, Raising of the Cross. In Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, Galileo represents the pope as Simplicio, the fool, to reference to the church’s beliefs. Simplicio represents the church and talks about the views with great confidence and appears firm
devices for an emphatic effect, when the theological elements are gradually unmasked. Therefore, in these opening lines the narrator sets the scene and introduces his dream vision by describing the extraordinarily bright tree (lines 1-12). Moreover, in the second half of the introductory part (13-23), the dreamer focuses on the antithesis of bliss and sorrow that characterises the Cross and also considers the corruptive state of his own soul. The poet uses the bold opening ‘Hwæt’ which sets the tone
losing either profit and wages or labour power. Prohibiting Replacement workers will prevent greedy employers and owners from trying to scare union supporters into asking for lower benefits and will stop allowing employers to interfere with the picket line and trying to break the employee solidarity. Overall the number of cases were replacement workers are needed is few, but by prohibiting replacement workers it can insure from now on and into the future that this law will help and support employees

Jesus Christ and the Red Cross Knight In his first book of The Faerie Queen, Edmund Spenser recites the tale of the Red Cross Knight and the many trials and tribulations that he encounters along his quest to save Princess Una's kingdom. Throughout the tale Spenser makes many allusions to the Red Cross Knight being a Christ-like character. All of the qualities and attributes which Red Cross develops along the way lead up to his personification of Christ on the third day of the dragon fight. Many
and parade their criminals” (37). In “The Dream of the Rood,” a classic and holy story is told in a different light from the way it is written in the Bible. It recounts the story of Christ dying on the cross and resurrecting, but with a twist: It is written partly from the point-of-view of the cross that he was crucified on. Throughout “The Dream of the Rood”, the author of the poem reveals their style through first-person point of view, alliteration, and their tone. First, the author reveals their

In the fifth line, “Father of mercy, ‘ twas Thy gracious hand Brought me in safety from those dark adobes” (363) explains that God is the “Father of mercy” who freed her from the hardships in Africa. She is very passionate about God and she even praises that he is her savior as he is to all humankind. In line ten, “ Still more, ye sons of science ye receive The
Henrietta Lacks, who is buried in Virginia, achieved recognition and immortality without her own knowledge in the world of medicine. In 1951, Henrietta was diagnosed with cervical cancer and John Hopkins Hospital used her tissues to produce HeLa cells, the most widely used reference cells in research laboratories today1. Due to the distinctiveness of HeLa cells, they play a dynamic role in understanding medicine more in depth by allowing remarkable number of breakthroughs and aiding the society as
