Throughout William Gibson's Neuromancer, the text shows many ways of using the syntactic rhetorical strategy. Within the text, many examples show a break in perception or explain quickly areas that span over a long period of time.

Renaissance After the Medieval period, art began to separate itself from its bounds to the church and religion. As a consequence of both this freedom and the rapid growth of technological advancements, science became a source of creative fuel for many artists.

A famous illustration of his passion to incorporate science into art is The Vitruvian Man.
This week I toured and explored the famous Academia, home to Michelangelo Buonarroti’s many wonderful pieces including the statue of David. The David was carved by Michelangelo from 1501-1504. It was originally intended for one of the buttresses of the cathedral in Florence and was designed to be effective at a distance of forty feet. However, after it was finished, the Signoria placed it in front of the Palazzo della Signoria as a symbol of the Florentine Republic. The statue of David is incredible

Mona Lisa, who was she? Why is the painting of her so famous? Has the original production enhanced because of her recognition, and how do advertisers use her fame for themselves? All of these questions deserve an answer. The Mona Lisa is a masterpiece painted by Da Vinci in the 19th century.
