...Artemis By: Jennifer Artemis My historical figure is Artemis, goddess of the hunt. You may not have heard of her, but she is from Greek mythology. Even if she wasn't mentioned in a lot in the stories she was still the favorite child of Zeus. Who is Zeus? Well he was the father of Artemis, but before I explain, I’ll have to tell you more about Artemis. Zeus was the father of Artemis and Leto was her mom. Hera, Zeus's other wife; got jealous when she found out Leto was pregnant with twins. So she commanded all the lands of the earth to never let the babies be born. Hera also sent monsters to kill Leto. Finally Leto came to the island of Delos. Since the island was floating and wasn't connected to the ground, it really wasn't considered “land”. On the island was a single palm tree where Leto sat down to rest. Then Artemis and her twin brother, Apollo, were born. When Artemis was little, she went to her father Zeus and asked him six wishes: to never force her to marry so she would stay as an eternal maiden, to be more famous than her brother, to rule over the mountains, to have 60 nymph attend her on her hunting, to have two hunting dogs and a silver chariot to ride on, and to have a hunting bow like her brothers. Her brother’s bow and arrows were hard and piercing as the sun, but Artemis’ arrows gave painless death and were soft as a moonbeam. Artemis became the goddess of hunt, moon, and childbirth. One myth about Artemis involves a mortal man named Actaeon...

...Artemis I am Artemis, “goddess of the hunt and of beasts, of childbirth and of chastity” (Daly 18). My mother and father are Zeus and Leto and my twin brother is Apollo, the god of music and healing. My main symbols include a quiver, hunting spears, a torch, a lyre, a crown and a deerskin cape(Atsma). I love nature and spending time outside. Some of my favorite animals are the deer, the bear, and the bore however I think the quail best represents me because it is free-spirited but bold. I also have many plants and flowers that are sacred to me, the first being a cypress tree. Another is the amaranth which is a blooming shrub. I am deeply connected to the palm tree through my birth on the island of Ortygia. I was born one day before Apollo...

...I am Atalanta of Calydon. Although my father is unknown, some say I am the daughter of Iasus, and there are some hints that lead people to think an attendant of Artemis is my mother. My father was immensely disappointed that I was not a boy that he left me on the side of a hill in the forest. A she bear found me there and took care of me before a band of hunters cared for me until I was a fully grown woman. I was well known for loving to participate in male activities, like hunting. Others knew me from my participations in the Calydonian Boar Hunt and the Quest for the Golden Fleece. Before the quest for the Golden Fleece, Jason, the leader of the Argonauts, tried to get me to leave the quest because I was a woman However, I stuck around and was wounded in battle and the witch Medea healed me....

...Artemis plays an important role in Greek Mythology and thus has multiple names given to her. The name Artemis does not have a certain meaning but one theory suggests that it means quail referring to a version of her birth in which her father, Zeus, turned her mother, Leto, into said bird (“Greek Mythology” 129-130). Another theory proposes that Artemis is “she who heals sickness” because of a link between an “adjective meaning ‘safe and sound’” (“Greek Mythology” 129-130). Additional names for Artemis is Diana, her Roman equivalent, and Phoebe which means “the ‘light one’ or ‘bright one’” (Turnbull “The Greek Goddess Artemis”). Despite Artemis having numerous titles and meanings, she is still uniquely known. There are many peculiar Greek...

...Achilles’ existential dilemma refers to which way he chose to live his life. The first is to live a glorious but short life as a warrior. The second one is to live a long but inglorious life. Ancient Greeks often believe that the Gods decide everyone’s destiny and fate. Achilles also had a predetermined fate, which is fighting and dying as warrior in the Trojan’s war. However, in reality, Achilles had faced a dilemma before he went on towards his destiny. At the very beginning, Achilles decided to join the Trojans war for the glory that every Greek man desired. However, in Book one of Iliad, Agamemnon, the son of Atreus who started the war, humiliated Achilles by taking his glories of war away. Since then the dilemma had been created. According to the Iliad, Achilles called his mother, “Since, my mother, you bore me to be a man with a short life, therefore Zeus of the loud thunder on Olympus should grant me honor at least. But now he has given me not even a little.”(IL. 1.352-354) It’s a universal fact that the Ancient Greeks took glory more seriously than life. Therefore, it is not surprising that Achilles called his mother to beg Zeus to bring glory to him. It is his desire for glory that brought him to Troy and led him to live a short life. But Agamemnon dishonored him and took away his glory. Achilles got no reasons to stay and fight if there would be no glory for him until Zeus helped the Trojans in order to grant Achilles the glory that he desired to earn. Since the situation...

...that I have always admired is Artemis, she is brave, kind and self-made, all qualities that I hope to possess. Unlike the other God and Goddesses Artemis preferred solitude in the forest to life on Mount Olympus with the other Gods and Goddesses. The myth that has always so spoke to me is the myth about Artemis and Orion, today known as the consolation in the sky. In the story Artemis has sworn to remain and virgin and never marry, although she never vowed not to fall in love from time to time. Orion was a talented hunter, very handsome and famous young man who one day, during a hunt saw Artemis and the two fell madly in love. During the following weeks the two dined, hunted together but never slept together, as Artemis still held her oath regarding her virginity her scared duty. Apollo, her twin brother, grew fearful that their relationship would soon make her break her oath. Apollo was the god of the sun and would ride through the sky during the day to bring light to the world. From his chariot he was able to see everything happening below on Earth. One day as he was riding through the sky, he looked down and saw Orion swimming in the ocean below and his sister lying on the beach. Troubled by their actions he formed a plan so he drove his chariot to the beach to speak with Artemis. After greeting her, Apollo suggested a contest to test if she was truly skilled with her bow. It was well known that Apollo was the most skilled archer but Artemis had proven herself time and time...

...Upheld By Character Character is built upon strength and compassion. To be quite honest, I happened upon this photo as I was rummaging through the mountains of pictures my mother has collected over the years. To my knowledge, I have never seen this before but I feel as though this photo gives an extremely detailed overview of my life. The fate of most photographs usually consists of being overlooked and cast into the attic, yet every picture is a reminder of an important memory. However, photos such as school pictures, which can be seen throughout my house, seem useless to me. Often times in these pictures emotion tries to be built or controlled. A moment deserves to be captured when the subjects in it find themselves unable to hold back a smile or a prideful smirk not when one is forged. What good is a memory if it lacks emotion, the backbone of a picture? It is obvious that in my picture we are not overtaken by joy, however, emotion engulfs this photo. Determination and faith can be found in this mirror of a memory. My father has his hands around mine, preventing me from falling into the abyss. Maybe to an average person it would be called a swimming pool, but convincing the 3 month old version of myself that that was true would be quite a feat. This second nature act of protection is not what drew me to this photo. It was no great accomplishment to stand on the first step of the pool, true. A father has an innate desire for the well-being of his child, also true. But the...

...This is about my still image analysis of my pictures I posted on Facebook. On Facebook I have posted some pictures that are semiotic. Semiotics is the study of signs. This may includes signs devised to convey meanings “....language, badges as well as 'symptoms' as in that’s the sign of swine flu'”. (Branston 12) Potency involves the strong or weak signs of semiotics that appear in the image. The sign in this image is that of me wear a suit with a sign of economic stature, which is the definition of symbolic sign. Most people where suit like the one I have in the picture and have some type of corporate job and make very good money. This makes the image a connotative image it represents an idea or mental image of a thing rather than the thing itself. The denotative meaning of the image is a guy in a nice suit poses to get his picture taken. The definition of denotative is the literal meaning of what you see in the picture. When I post this picture on Facebook the audience for whom the picture was for was my Facebook friends. My mom somehow saw it and she doesn’t have a Facebook account. Then I realize some of the people who are my Facebook friends are also her co workers and they commented on the picture. I don’t really care who sees the picture because it’s my own personal count with some friends and family members. What I hope people get out of this is that I look nice in a suit and tie. I look at it more like a professional selfie form a distance as it was shoot by a photographer...

...Research Essay 1 This essay is to be no less than 2 pages long. Susan Sontag’s essay Regarding the Pain of Others brings forth many atrocities of war. I would like you to choose an atrocity mentioned in the essay which will be the basis of your research paper. As you research you will come across pictures and photographs that are suppose to “show” you what was occurring during the time of the atrocity; however as you view such photographs I would like you to address ONE of Sontag’s ideas below which will become your essay topic: 1) Photographs do not assist in the comprehension of a situation, that is up to writers to create narratives that help in understanding 2) Meanings from photos are free floating, and can only be grounded by words 3) The photograph is not an objective mirror, but an expressive medium capable of portraying multiple realities. 4) Intentions are not inherent in photography, meaning is situational and in flux – this is in keeping with the previous key idea. The photograph itself is capable of “speaking” for itself only so much. It requires an interpreter. And it is the agenda of this interpreter that the photograph assumes. The photograph itself has no agenda; it takes on the one of who is interpreting for it. Part Two You are to create a power point presentation of the atrocity you discussed in your research paper which is to include both pictures and text. You may also choose to streamline videos...

...Mashell Chapeyama Topic: Art History Year 2012 Level: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration The French revolution and Painting The French revolution had a big impact on art. It brought in new themes to art. The following are some of the themes that emerged: • Democracy • Reconciliation • Patriotism • Rising against unfair rulers • Battle-scenes Some paintings that emerged from the French revolution heightened the need for democracy. Before the revolution most nations were ruled by dictators, most of whom were monarchies. For example there were some paintings that showed the democratic legacy of Greece and Rome. Patriotism was also portrayed. For example the picture entitled the Coronation of Josephine. This was a great piece of art. The painter wanted to illustrate that Napoleon was the legitimate ruler of France. The earlier paintings related to this showed the sketches of Napoleon crowning himself. On the other hand the picture of Gericault showed how people can attack the government. It has some revolutionary connotation. It seemed like inciting people to fight mistrusted rulers. Some pictures showed what happened in wars. One painting shows Napoleon crossing the alps on his horse. This showed his victories in wars. Napoleon was a successful fighter. The other pictures show the people fleeing from battle fields. Some were refugees fleeing their homes. One painting of David show what happens in revolutions. It was entitled, “Oath of Horiatis”. It also...

Ultrasonic B-scans are used to create 2-D cross sectional images of the structure of interest. A solid ball would create merely a filled in circle; a tennis ball filled with air would create an image of a outer rim with empty space inside, as shown below: 4. The three controls that a technician uses on an x-ray machine are the voltage adjustment, mA control and the exposure timer. The voltage adjustment is used to control the penetrating power of the beam. A greater penetrating power will decrease the contrast of the image. The mA control is used to determine the current which flows through the filament in the cathode. This changes the number of photons produced, which affects the blackness of the image. Finally, the exposure timer is combined with the mA control to manipulate the darkness of the image. 5. Grids improve the image sharpness when a relatively thick body part is being imaged by maximizing the number of primary photons to pass through to the film, and interacting with the secondary photons to decrease the chance of secondary photons hitting the film. 6. CT scans use multiple x-rays or the rotation of a single x-ray rather than a single straight-forward x-ray to create the final image. The rotational motion of the scanner makes the target area...

...the picture and helps me make the story flow. What have you learned about structuring and developing a visual interpretation of a piece of writing? It’s easier to visualise what is happening and make it easier for the audience to interpret what I am trying to say through my words, song and pictures Why did you select the piece of music that you did? I selected a piano cover; I believed that the best song to help my story flow was to include a piano cover sound track. Explain how the overall impact of your piece has been affected/ enhanced by the images, music and narration? The photos involved in the photo story were a mixture of black and white photos and coloured pictures, the black and white pictures I used to make it back my message of it being something bad and the coloured ones are use to represent the things that were happening at the time. What do you believe you will need to do to ensure that the impact of the images, music and narration are conveyed in a piece of imaginative or personal reflective writing? To make sure they all are combined to make the perfect dish and also involve the right music, photos and speech to keep my story on...
