As mythology has always piqued my interest, Roman and Greek mainly, it is only natural that Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya stopped me from turning the page. This piece has been burned in my head since I was a junior in high school. The painting doesn’t have a lot of color, light, patterns, or textures but it draws you in instantly. It is a horrific image to look at, but the same time you can’t look away at this man savagely eating another human. As gross at this painting may be I believe
which, without the presence of it, anger, hate and violence will arise from tension cause from its absence. Even though murder is not legal, others can respect a justified murder. When Marcelo was a teenager “…Valdez accused [his] father of stealing cattle, [so he] gathered his sons… [and gave] them each a gun…[with] the first one to see…Valdez was to shoot him” (57). When Marcelo’s brother shot Valdez nobody really took a second thought about it, with the exception of the law. The town all knew that

Father with His Son, creates a lot of compelling emotions, especially sympathy. The photographer’s name is unknown but it does not affect the message evident in the photo. With the use of juxtaposition, it strengthens the photograph and causes the viewer to truly take in the photo and try to understand what the boy is struggling to do. In this photograph, the father has lost his parental roles and the child is standing up and taking them on. He notices his father is in need of help and tries his best to
This passage demonstrates Aaron’s love of his son who is the ‘bastard’ child of him and Tamora. Lines 88-89 demonstrate four instances of imagery in which the words “burning,” “tapers,” “shone,” and “brightly” are closely linked together to validate that his child was conceived in the light of the world which differentiates with the darkness of his skin. This contrast of light and dark is repeated in line 101 when Aaron says, “Can never turn the swan’s black legs to white.” This line serves as a

influential artist of the time. For a majority of his career, Goya suffered through hearing loss, causing him to express his internal thoughts through paintings he did inside of his home. The paintings depicted many characteristics of the Romantic style with his use of intense emotions and ideas such as death and horror. These romantic aspects were especially distinguished in his most famous pieces The Third of May 1808, Saturn Devouring His Son, and Witches’ Sabbath. Romanticism was an artistic

to his son. This letter was meant as a warning to his son to do right by him or else there will be consequences. He was also demanded to take advantage of his privileged life and do something that others his age cannot. He also advises his son subliminally, to not tarnish his or his father's reputation by doing unprofessional or silly things. In Chesterfield's letter, he uses irony, tone, and pathos to explain to his son his expectations. In the letter, Chesterfield says that he is on his son's
David’s Addiction What is wrong with a father saving his son? Do you really explain David’s reaction an addiction? Put yourself in his shoes. You wouldn’t sit back, and watch your son amount to nothing. No father should watch their own son or daughter do drugs. Society is so quick to judge when they have never had to deal with the issues themselves. I wouldn’t consider David trying to save his own son’s life an addiction, but as more of an obligation. I don’t believe there is anywhere in this book
1. In the Bible, God commanded Abraham to kills his son Isaac as a sacrifice. If Abraham does not kill or sacrifice his son Abraham, then he is disobeying God and not demonstrating his faith and loyalty to God. If Abraham kills his son then he would have his treasured son, so both options that Abraham was experiencing were both unpleasant, and neither alternative was a decent choice in Abrahams' eyes. 2. Individually people do not value, try to, or believe it is okay to harm another individual because

Brindizi Hamblin Compare Contrast Essays “The Seated Boxer” and Laocoon and His Two Sons” In Ancient Greek and Roman times, Romans often made replicas of Greek statues. The Greek were extremely good at art and the Romans wanted to possess the art themselves and thus, created copies of the most famous and beautiful Greek sculptures. However, it seems to be for the better since most Greek statues were created in bronze and were later repurposed for war. The Roman duplicates of these statues remained

The piece I decided to analyze is the famous sculpture, Laocoön and his two sons. I decided on this particular piece for a few reasons, one being the emotion we see on the subjects’ faces, and the other being the importance for future art. When I began this research I could not have possibly understood the relevance this piece had on the art that was yet to come. The Hellenistic period of Greek art spans from the time of Alexander the Great’s death in 323 to 30 B.C.E. (“Hellenistic Period” 1). However

Chesterfield establishes ethos in his letter in order to persuade his son to listen to him. In the opening line of his letter, Chesterfield addresses his son as “boy” instead of his name. The connotations of the word “boy”
