...Derek Logsdon Core 7 Role Play Paper McFarland 11/12/2012 The Lost Souls I will never forget their faces the lovely smile and hug my mother would give me when I came home and the stern pat on the back my dad would give to greet me as well. Most of all I will never forget the feeling of love I had from my family and village. The only way I can explain it was as if I was being tucked into bed with a warm cozy fire burning next to me. Unfortunately I now find myself laying here in my cot shivering and shaking profusely covered in sweat with the images and horrors from just a mere few years ago still lingering in my mind like a pesky fly that keeps hovering around your face. I will never forget when death himself came upon us like a swarm of locusts and ripped the feeling of love and happiness from my arms. These men had the look of determination, hatred, and anger in both their eyes and faces. I hope I will never ever have to see the face of Satan himself again for as long as I shall live. It is roughly an hour and a half drive through hundreds of crop fields that look like a maze when you are trying to navigate through them in order to reach Kitaisa Village. (Bruni) Not even our countries own president has ever stepped foot into our quiet lovely village. (Bruni) I mean, if you blinked you would be through it since most of us live a distance from the main road that leads into the village. (Bruni) It is also quit difficult to reach the once proud village since...

...Choose a novel or short story in which the writer explores feelings of rejection, isolation or alienation. Explain how the writer makes you aware of these feelings. Go on to show how this exploration enhances your appreciation of the novel as a whole. In Robin Jenkin’s novel, “The Cone Gatherers” we follow the malevolent character of Duror who goes through an internal struggle to try and control his hatred for deformities. Duror’s mental decline is driven by the presence of Calum, a hunchback who is collecting cones in the forest in the estate where Duror is the gamekeeper. We are exposed to the dark and twisted nature of the tortured gamekeeper’s mind through his fixation with Calum, the sickness of Duror’s wife, Peggy and the isolation he encounters in the forest. Jenkins explores the nature of good versus evil through the development of Duror. Calum’s arrival in the wood had unsettled Duror due to his deformities and the gamekeeper became obsessed with him. Calum as he saw it ‘defiled’ his sanctuary. He was alone in his obsession and he unreasonably felt that if he destroyed Calum, these bad feelings would go and everything would return to normal. Jenkins had told us that Duror was repulsed by anything that had ‘imperfection, deformity or lack’. However there is also a more historic root to his mental state as in Chapter 2 when Dr Matheson encounters Duror and is worried about his state of mind. His wife Peggy was a ‘haunting ‘ figure; a ghost of her former self;...

...Don John is the evil bastard brother in the play. He is only recently reconciled with Don Pedro and he plays the role of a schemer, a discontent and a Machiavelli. In reality, Don John is merely the excluded character, a man who cannot fit into the society he is unwillingly a part of. When Conrad tries to tell him he should act happy around Don Pedro, he states, "I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in his grace" (1.3.21-22). Don John thus ignores the family network, fails to observe the proper code of conduct, misses the dinner party thrown by Leonato, and rebels against the compulsory set of social rules. Though Don John ostensibly influences all of the action of the play, he has very few speaking lines for a main character. Don John operates as a plot-device more than a fully fleshed out character. He does give us a little speech about how he’s a bad guy – and likes being a bad guy – but there’s not much that we say about him because we never really know his motivations, or even his reaction to all of the chaos he’s caused. In the end, he has run off before he can even be punished or have a warm, fuzzy change of heart scene. He’s definitely not Shakespeare’s most compelling and complex villain. Ultimately, though, it isn’t a failing of Shakespeare’s that this villain is so thin. It’s actually a reminder to the reader that the play isn’t supposed to be a tragedy, and isn’t even supposed to really analyze evil at all. The more important take-home points of the play...

...AL2 Seeking the Missing Vesalius Andreas Vesalius ( December 31, 1514 - October 15, 1564) is regarded as the founder of modern human anatomy. Born in Brussels (now modern day Belgium) he was the son of the court apothecary to Emperor Charles V, and his mother coming from a wealthy family afforded him the ability to study at a time where there was a change for great intellectual change. At an early age Vesalius showed an interest in dissection, when he later pursued his studies at the University of Paris he still held a fascination with dissection and therefore devoted his attention largely to anatomy. Once receiving his degree he was immediately offered a position as a lecturer on surgery and anatomy at Padua. Vesalius then later became part of the court of Emperor Charles V by the title of imperial physician. After many anatomical contributions, during Vesalius' pilgrimage he death occurred. While there is no fine historical report to as why he perished on his return, it is said that he became ill upon the ship and had passed away on the Greek island of Zacynthus. Vesalius is referred to as the founder of modern anatomy not only for his contributions to the knowledge of human physical internal structure, but for changing the thought and perception of anatomy as a whole. During his period Vesalius not only contributed major findings, he challenged a figure who no one had yet to go against the word of; the father of modern medicine Galen. Vesalius had discovered during...

...An insanity defense requires that an individual not be aware of their actions during a mental episode, and that is how Andrea Yates got away with the murderous drowning of her five children. On the other end of the spectrum, there is self-defense, which states that “based on the recognition that individuals have an inherent right to protect themselves and that to reasonably defend oneself from unlawful attack is a natural response to threatening situations” (Schmalleger & Hall, 2014) and protection of property; and this is the defense that Markus Kaarma attempted to use in order to justify the killing of a repeat intruder into his garage. In June 2001, Andrea Yates – a mother of five young children who had a history of mental issues and battled postpartum depression – drowned her children in the household bathtub in order to, as she claimed, save their souls from Satan (CNN, 2007). “Yates turned herself in immediately after the drowning deaths… because she thought her own death would fulfill a Biblical prophecy: If she were executed, Satan would be executed” (CNN, 2007) – during her psychosis, she believed that she was doing the right thing. Yates’ first trial, after only a few hours of deliberation, resulted in the jury finding her guilty of capital murder, but did not believe she should receive the death penalty, but rather life in prison (CNN, 2007). However, after an appeal and during her second trial, she was acquitted of the capital murder charges, and was only charged...

... The Evil Within In this novel, a group of British boys goes through a near death plane crash and they struggle to live without a leader. This results in bullying and fighting. The real character of the boys is demonstrated when all of their true emotions come out. Their hatred and immaturity makes it extremely hard to persuade the boys in any direction to do something. In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses symbolism to create the theme that society must depend on the ethical nature of individualism of the boys and not on a political system. In the novel, Piggy’s glasses represent clarity of each individual on the island and the making of what is right vs. what is wrong. Jack explains that Piggy’s “specs” can be “used as burning glasses” (Golding 40). This quote was being used when Jack and Ralph tried making a fire on the top of the mountain. Jack was the one who thought of this idea. Piggy’s glasses were also an object used for survival and one of the sources used as a means of rescue. Symbolism is shown when Piggy’s glasses “flew off and tinkled on the rocks” (Golding 71). Piggy’s glasses flew off because Jack hit him which caused Piggy to be very angered. Jack hit Piggy because he let the fire out. When Piggy’s glasses flew off and broke it represented the boys last tie of humanity and possibly even the last chance of being rescued. Piggy’s glasses were used as a source to be rescued and also the clarity of each individual, but is not the only symbol that...

...The Evil of Human Nature and Mother Nature When someone has what they call a great day, there is always an aspect of it that they would say was not too great. If a person were to think back to the best day of their lives, they would also be able to remember something that troubled them that same day. The size of the ‘troubling’ or ‘bad’ aspect doesn’t dismiss the fact that there was indeed a point of evil in their day. If a man was planning to propose to his girlfriend that night after dinner, and he had a whole plan and was ready to pop the question, and she doesn’t quite go with his plan like he thought she would, forcing him to improvise. We all know that improvising for something as big as a proposal is a very hard and stressful thing; all you want is for it to be perfect. In the end, he still proposes to her as best he could think and she happily says yes. This is a great day for the both of them; they are now a happily engaged couple. As much as he may think of how happy that night was, he will always remember the struggle he went through to make it as special as he could. Unintentional, yes, but it doesn’t change the fact that he was troubled, and had to go an extra mile for a bad reaction to his plan from his girlfriend, now fiancée. His day was still great and he is still very happy with his outcome, although it may not have been all perfect. However good your day may be, there is always going to be some aspect of evil. A very common way that ‘evil’ is brought about...

...made Venice famous all over the world, shows the historical importance of the Byzantine influence from the East on the city. During the Renaissance Venice became a very important center, together with Florence and Rome. Art in Venice was mostly representational. Venetian architecture of this period is characterized by a great number of world-famous masters, who made architectural history. Venetian architecture took inspiration from Andrea Palladio. A new style was created to contrast the Baroque and its skilful forms. Architecture had to be more functional, essential and based on elegance. In short, it had to be in a classical style. 2. Alessandro Vittoria (1525–1608) was an Italian sculptor, one of the main representatives of the Venetian classical style. He was a virtuoso in terracotta, often presented with gilded surfaces, marble and bronze. Like all Italian sculptors of his generation, Vittoria was influenced also by Michelangelo. San Zaccaria, Venice; Saint Roch San Salvador, Venice; Saint Sebastian San Salvador Venice 3. Andrea Palladio was an Italian architect active in Venice. Palladio is widely considered to be the most influential individual in the history of architecture. All of his buildings are located in the Venetian Republic, but his teachings, summarized in the architectural treatise, gained him wide recognition. One of the first works by Palladio - Villa Godi; Villa La Rotonda; Palladio's plan of Villa La Rotonda. 4. Francesco Lazzaro Guardi...

...In elementary school I used to be bullied, when I tried to ignore it like my mom told me to the boys took advantage of it. They thought that went I didn't react to them that I was okay with and it got worse and worse. Like at my school in Lord of the Flies Jack and his hunters violent actions escalate out of control. In William Golding's “Lord of the Flies” Jack’s violent sense of identity administers an uncontrollable savage response to the boys island culture. This cultural collision directly influences William Golding's purpose to prove that all humans are born evil. Previously to his arrival on the island Jack’s beliefs were firmly rooted in his upbringing of british culture. An example of this is on page 38 Jack says “We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all, we’re not savages. We’re English, and the English are best at everything” This shows that the way Golding characterised Jack is that the way he sees order and law is with rules. This shows that originally Jack believed in a difference between ‘savages’ and ‘english’. What's intriguing about this is the way Jack evolves from this British rule following attitude to the face painting savage he is later, this is how Golding shows that all human nature is evil. Secondly an example of Jack following his old english ways is on page 16 “The creature was a party of boys, marching approximately in step in two parallel lines and dressed in strangely eccentric clothing."Jack before he ended up on the island was very rule...

...What does the architecture of Lord Burlington owe to political concerns? It is said that from 1721 onwards Lord Burlington began erecting one important building after another. In order to determine what the architecture of Lord Burlington owes to political concerns it is necessary to briefly examine both the political situation in the early 1700s and Burlington’s political stance. Lastly, in order to draw a conclusion as to how much of Lord Burlington’s architecture owes to political concerns, an analysis of Chiswick House and its political representation is particularly essential. Thus this essay will be roughly divided into two parts: the first being a brief narrative of the political life and situation of Lord Burlington, followed by a system of analysis and conclusion. The latter will focus specifically on the Chiswick House and what symbols there exist that may help us to examine the impact of politics on Lord Burlington’s architecture. Lord Burlington, though being a man of arts and beauty, was hardly politically inactive. Up until 1932 he was said to have been a supporter of the Whig administration. He became a supporter of the new Hanoverian king, George I in 1715 and that same year he was appointed Lord Treasurer of Ireland, lieutenant of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire and Vice-Admiral of the County of York. By 1721 Burlington became a supporter of Sir Robert Walpole and was a close friend of the Prince of Wales. When in 1727 the Prince succeeded as George...

...The neo-classicism is an architectural moment that was flourished after the American and the French Revolution. In this period explorers study the past and distant civilizations for an understanding of other cultures; to find new ways how to create mechanical devices to facilitated transportations and commerce. Historian got a closer look to the dates in which important architectural events happened and also became aware of the accomplishment of the various western civilizations. Foremost among these were ancient Greece and Rome, architect will travel to this ruins to study and measure; and after published their findings. It was the century of change, colonial expansion, age of enlightenment, and technological revolution. Neo-classicism was a reaction against the Rococo style, this new language of architecture is evocative and picturesque, a recreation of distant and lost civilizations, framed within the Romantic sensibility that later influence modern architecture and took it to a new direction. The neo-Palladian in England was the first movement to study the revival of classic architecture from the past; its leader was Colen Campbell (1676-1729), a Scottish architect and editor of book “Vitruvius Britannicus”. He designs the Mereworth castle (1723) in kent, like a near replica of the Palladio’s design of Villa Rotonda, but in a larger scale. Campbell attached four Ionic porticos to a simple cube and crowned it with a pyramidal roof and dome. Mereworth also has an incorporated...

...How effectively does Golding anticipate de conflicting forces of good and evil at the beginning of the novel? In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding permanently creates situations where good and evil are confronted. This contrast is made evident through different resources: behaviour of the characters, forces of nature, metaphors, contrasts and other literary devices. These dense forces flow within a primitive environment where leadership based on physical superiority will take over the ethical principles of civilisation. Conflicts between good and evil, represented through the contrasts of civilization versus savagery, order against chaos, and reason in opposition to impulse, will take over the island and pull the children apart. But how does the author introduce us to this rivarly and what is he trying to show us? I would say that Golding’s approach, so as to make the reader perceive the permanent parallel between good and evil, runs along three strategic lines or levels. The first way in which he approaches the conflicting forces involves actual behaviours of the children that bring forth good or evil ways. These are built upon the characters’ actions which are based on their values, morals and ethics. By doing this, Golding begins to expose the theory that there is always a power struggle present in human beings. This is firstly unmasked in pages 29 to 30. When the time arrives to choose a leader, Jack blurts, "I ought to be chief because I'm chapter chorister...

...Introduction This piece of art I chose to identify in my critical paper is Fig. 11-7 Fra Andrea Pozza, The Glorification of Saint Ignatius, 1691-94 Ceiling fresco, Nave of Sant’ Ignazio, Rome. The Artist of this painting is Andrea Pozzo born 30 November 1642 Trento, County of Tyrol, Holy Roman Empire and known for Architecture, painting and decorator work. The work the media used in chosen work as the book used is The Apotheosis of St Ignatius (1691-4) San Ignazio, Rome. The Dimensions of the work is 56 X 115 Ft. and the date the work was completed in 1694. Formal Analysis The Element of Design used in his painting was colors are used to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a flat ceiling above the viewer, his acknowledged masterpiece of Christian art is the ceiling fresco painting Allegory of the Missionary Work of the Jesuits (c.1685-94) in the Church of S.Ignazio in Rome, a work which combined architecture and painting to an almost unbelievable degree, and became a textbook example of 17th century Catholic Counter-Reformation Art. The principles of the Design that Pozzo use I would say variety of building ceiling that were on the ceiling of building. But the Style he uses is abstract from my opinion because Pozzo uses it as a “Catholic Counter-Reformation art” that describes more stringent, doctrinal style of Christian art which was developed during the period c.1560-1700. Interpretive Analysis This painting that Pozzo painting uses various of symbols...

...Hector Cervantes February 22, 2011 Mrs. Guerard 4th period We Are Born With Evil In the everyday life we always witness some sort of cruel act inflicted by a human on to another. Cruel actions range from people verbally to physically hurting others. We ask ourselves why people commit these acts. We tell ourselves that those are just the evil kind of people but like William Golding said “We are born with evil in us, and cruelty is a part of this.” This statement is true, we are all born with evil in us and we can all be cruel. It’s in our nature, something we cannot rid ourselves of. Although evil is in our nature, we can do our best and avoid it. First reason why I agree with Golding’s statement is because he shows how everyone has evil in them through a realistic case scenario. In Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies, the kids were young, their ages ranged from 5 years old to around 12 years old. These kids started as innocent boys but later transformed into little savages. You wouldn’t think 5 year old boys would have the guts to hunt for their own food or even know how to hunt but these kids did. These kids prove that we are born with evil in us because they weren’t thought how to hunt but they knew how because it’s in their nature. We don’t do it because it is uncivil and inhumane like. People might use the character, Simon to argue that not everyone is evil because in the book Simon never really did anything cruel. Although Simon never showed a sign of him becoming...
