...to CNN news, on Friday Sept. 22 at a rally for senator Luther Alabama, Trump condemned football players who either sit or protest in some way during the national anthem—and chastised the NFL owners for not coming down harder on them. These comments were in response to NFL players kneeling during the singing of the national anthem instead of traditionally standing. Sense the players kneeling is a political demonstration against racial injustice, this made people question’s Trump’s political views on racial injustice in America. Trumps comments sparked outrage among professional...

...Since he knew he could not be immortality, he prepared well his afterlife. He believed after he dead, and his spirit was still there, he could be an emperor as before. There had to be a proper army to protect him, and helped me to conquer the world after death. Consequently, he put many a large number of clay warriors in his tomb, then he could enjoy the same imperial status and the military power as his early lifetime. According to Lubow stated, "The artifacts offer a glimpse of the treasures that attract visitors from around the world to the Xi'an museum site, where 1,900 of an estimated 7,000 warriors have been disinterred so far"(36).

...Olowe of Ise “It is insufficiently understood that a museums power lies not in the possession of objects and collections, but in the acceptance of its authority to name them by both label and context. This is the most jealously guarded divine right of the museum as the curator of soi-disant public collections” – Duncan F. Cameron. Duncan F. Cameron served as a museum curator and director in the Brooklyn Museum in the New York City Borough of Brooklyn, the second largest museum in New York City and one of the largest in the United States. Duncan served in the museum from 1971-1974. An artist once told me, “Art is in the eyes of the beholder” – anonymous. It’s a statement with a broad perspective of thought and meditation. First I would like to give an example of what the quote by Duncan meant can be seen by the work of Constantine Petridis, a museum curator of African art gallery in the Cleveland Museum of art. He explains objects from the same culture are displayed together and differentiated with those of their neighbors. This concept shows the formal and stylistic relationships between neighboring and familiar artistic customs or traditions that ex-plains the distinctiveness of the arts of distinct people. An addition to the regional framework, thematic connections are highlighted through the use of gallery cards which explain topics of artists, leadership, masks and masquerades, styles and the supernatural. Gallery cards provide photo, descriptions and narrative text linking...

...“De’Jon, did you go to the market and get the chicken feed?” shouted my mama. My life sucks, those words that forever etched in my mind were playing over and over again, like a bad song I couldn’t forget. “No Mama!” I yelled in response, wincing as I waited for the unavoidable and inevitable lecture I could sense approaching. Approaching like a scorpion ready to strike. I yelled out in pain as I trumbled off the shabby hellhole we called home. So let get everything out on the floor... my name is De’Jon Lee; I’m what greeks would call a poor demos. I (much to my disappointment) claim the ranking ‘must bullied.’ Me and my family been exempted from any festivals. It would be a shame, a curse for some poor or rich folk to get robbed by a filth like me or rob a filth like me. ‘I will find a cave of gold, it is the will of Ra!” I shouted while walking the path to the market. I wasn’t alone because Macy was up in a tree chowing down on some loaf of bread wearing ripped up clothes. She was dirty from top to toe and she replied so rudely. “You don’t exactly fellow the will of Ra because if you did” she begin pointing the loaf of bread at me “you wouldn’t still be alive.” I will find it, I thought to myself knowing very well that it would take a miracle. Here I thought my life couldn’t get any worse, in this case there is only one thing worse then being right is being wrong. I was walking home with the basket of food and some other low live tried to mug me. Knowing what...

... Hatshepsut continued wearing the male regalia, however now she wore more elaborate and kingly regalia such as Shndyet kilts, Nemes, Khepresh and a false beard to emphasise the mighty power she had gained. This can be seen though the Red Sphinx, Colossal striding statue and colossal kneeling statue (where she is offering vases to the god Amun). Furthermore Hatshepsut portrayed herself as a man in her monuments. This is evident as the colossal striding statue depicted Hatshepsut with strong muscular limbs, board manly shoulders and the statue is in a striding position, which displays power and authority. The colossal kneeling statue also portrays Hatshepsut as a man due to the broad shoulders, flat chest and kneeling towards the gods giving them offerings; displaying her religious link with the gods and many other pharaohs did. The Red Gradient sphinx displays Hatshepsut as ferocious, brave and an amazing warrior, like many other pharaohs. The lion is the king of the jungle, thus Hatshepsut is implying that she is the King of Egypt, due to her strength and power....

...three of their neighbors’ huts, had piles of red and white camote. Buried in the earth were jars of rice wine. Amtulao’s dogs were fat and well fed, not lean and starved looking as were the dogs of his neighbors. But will all their wealth, Amtulao and Dululao were unhappy, for they were childless. They offered numerous sacrifices to the spirits; and they lived frugally and simply feeling somehow that austerity and lack of ostentation would please the anitos. In the end their prayers were answered, and Dumulao gave birth to Aliguyon, a sturdy and handsome child. Even as an infant, Aliguyon was precocious. He quickly learned the songs with which his mother lulled him to sleep, and in no time he could recite the long prayers chanted by the warriors on Hannanga. He even knew by heart the village lore, the stories that the old folks of the village told, reciting them word for word as he had heard them in the cool evenings. But what pleased Amtulao most was Aliguyon’s skill with the spear and the shield. Amtulao made for him a little spear; and when at the age of three Aliguyon speared his first fish, Amtulao offered a pig as a sacrifice to the gods in thanksgiving. At five Aliguyon had speared wild chickens, at seven he was an accepted companion of Amtulao on hunting trips. Among his playmates Aliguyon was a favorite. He was accepted as the leader, and no one challenged his leadership, for could he not spin a top better than anyone else? And could he not “kill” the strongest tops...

...it is very incredulous how two young people, Kerr and Barbara, have discovered a whole new adventure of changing the way they see the past. Kerr and Barbara are not seeking this journey for just themselves, but to change others views on the past of the great Maya people. The couple feel a spirit and connection towards the sculptures they see and the images they capture with their eyes. Taking a vacation can change one’s life for some people as it did for Kerr and Barbara. The pre-Columbian Americas and the Classic Maya civilization dominated their lives. Good spirits drove them to Yucatan because when they arrived, they could not take their eyes off of all the beautiful sculptures they witnessed. Items such as carved skulls, snakes, warriors, and glyphs changed their lives towards a whole new path. When I think of photographing archaeological material, people looking at these images may think that they are boring. As for Kerr, he realized this and imputed life into his images. There is a bigger meaning to pictures than just trying to make it look nice, there is beauty, devotion, and emotion. After reading this article, I see that there are many small details to create a great image, such as the lighting and the fabric. Kerr has created a great reputation for himself and many people see Kerr as their idol. The first thing I thought of Maya Civilization was that there were many details we did not know about them but after reading this article, I can acknowledge the fact...

...Queen Hatshepsut was pharaoh over Egypt for 20 years. She was also the first female pharaoh to rule in Egypt. She has greatly impacted the world’s future, for architecture, trade, and women’s power. Our first topic question, Why is and was Queen Hatshepsut important to Egypt? One area of her greatest achievements and advancements in Egypt is the architecture that she completed during her reign. The temple of Deir el-Bahri, where she would later be buried, is a highly decorated temple with luxurious pillars and statues of the queen. These statues had Queen Hatshepsut in many different poses such as sitting, standing, or kneeling. These statues would later become defaced after her stepson, Thutmose III would come to power.

...bending Like the storm spirit, dark o’er the tremulous rain But midnight enshrouded my lone heart in it’s dwelling A tumult of woe in my bosom is swelling And tear unbefitting the warrior is telling That hope has abandoned the brave Cherokee Can a tree that is torn from its root by the fountain The pride of the valley; green spreading and fair Can it flourish, removed to the rock of the mountain Unwarmed by the sun and unwatered by care? Though vesper be kind, her sweet dews in bestowing No life giving Brook in its shadows is flowing And when the chill winds of the desert are blowing So droops the transplanted and lone Cherokee Sacred graves pf my sires, and I left you forever How melted my heart when I bade you adieu Shall joy light the face of the Indian? Ah, never While memory sad has the power to renew. As flies the fleet deer when the bloodhound has started So fled the winged hope from the poor broken hearted Oh, could she have turned ere forever departing And beckons with smiles to her sad Cherokee Is it the low wind through the wet willows rushing That fills with wild numbers my listening ear? Or is it some hermit rill in the solitude gushing The strange playing minstrel, whose music I hear? Tis the voice of my father, slow, solemnly stealing I see his dim form by yon meteor kneeling To the God of the White man, the Christian appealing He prays for the foe of the dark Cherokee Great spirit of good, whose abode is in Heaven, Whose wampum of peace is the bow in the...

...l EN 105/First Year Writing Seminar I April 15, 2012 Brainwashed War Fighters Marines are brainwashed, this is not an uncommon phrase to hear coming from someone’s mouth. In fact, aside from being called crazy that’s probably the most common thing to hear about us Marines. Once during an interview a Marine was asked about the ins and outs of recruit training. How’s it work? What happens in the process? After responding to these questions one man said, “But Marines are brainwashed.” Being the proud and disciplined Marine that he is, he responded quickly with something along the lines of, “Yes I am brainwashed, the Marine Corps has taken me and molded me into the man I am today. They took my brain out of my head and they washed it, they washed it of all those nasty civilian values.” He went on to talk about how in the process the Marines washed his mind and body clean of being a liar, cheater, and a thief. He called those three things the “Civilian values”. All of these things were then replaced with the “Core Values” of the Marine Corps Honor, Courage, and Commitment. These are the three basic things instilled into a Recruit for him or her to become a basically trained Marine. He ended his comment to the man with, “So yes you’re right, I’m brainwashed.” Not much was said after that. Let me ask you this, can you brainwash a willing person? Every applicant has to make a conscious effort and decide to sign their name on that contract. At no point and time was there someone...

...Gian Lorenzo Bernini, (born December 7, 1598, Naples, Kingdom of Naples [Italy]—died November 28, 1680, Rome, Papal States), Italian artist who was perhaps the greatest sculptor of the 17th century and an outstanding architect as well. Bernini created the Baroque style of sculpture and developed it to such an extent that other artists are of only minor importance in a discussion of that style. Bernini’s career began under his father, Pietro Bernini, a Florentine sculptor of some talent who ultimately moved to Rome. The young prodigy worked so diligently that he earned the praise of the painter Annibale Carracci and the patronage of Pope Paul V and soon established himself as a wholly independent sculptor. He was strongly influenced by his close study of the antique Greek and Roman marbles in the Vatican, and he also had an intimate knowledge of High Renaissance painting of the early 16th century. His study of Michelangelo is revealed in the St. Sebastian (c. 1617), carved for Maffeo Cardinal Barberini, who was later Pope Urban VIII and Bernini’s greatest patron. A major figure in the world of architecture, he was the leading sculptor of his age, credited with creating the Baroque style of sculpture. As one scholar has commented, 'What Shakespeare is to drama, Bernini may be to sculpture: the first pan-European sculptor whose name is instantaneously identifiable with a particular manner and vision, and whose influence was inordinately powerful...' In addition, he was a painter...

...The Story of Hamlet in Hamlet Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet has one outstanding character, namely the protagonist Hamlet. His character is so complex that this essay will scarcely present an adequate portrayal of his character. John Russell Brown in “Soliloquies and Other Wordplay Let the Audience Share Some of Hamlet’s Thoughts” explains the interplay of dialogue, soliloquies and narrative in Hamlet’s role: By any reckoning Hamlet is one of the most complex of Shakespeare’s characters, and a series of soliloquies is only one of the means which encourage the audience to enter imaginatively into his very personal and frightening predicament. The play’s narrative is handled so that a prolonged two-way chase is sustained between him and the king, during which the audience knows more than either one of them and so thinks ahead and anticipates events. In interplay with Rosencrantz, Guildenstern and Polonius, and perhaps with Claudius, Gertrude and Ophelia, Hamlet has asides to draw attention to what dialogue cannot express(55-56). Marchette Chute describes the opening scene of the drama: “For two nights in succession, just as the bell strikes the hour of one, a ghost has appeared on the battlements, a figure dressed in complete armor and with a face like that of the dead king of Denmark, Hamlet’s father. [. . .] The hour comes, and the ghost walks” (35). Horatio and Marcellus exit the ramparts of Elsinore intending to enlist the aid of Hamlet...

...| Head Quarters United States Marine Corps | Date: 11/27/12 Re: Art Selections for the Office As requested I have selected six new paintings, three Impressionist and three Post-Impressionist works. The works are to be placed along the large wall in the main lobby of the building in the order listed below. The order starts with two works depicting everyday life while in theatre, followed by two emotionally charged works that have become iconic for our beloved Marine Corps, completed by two works of everyday day life in theatre. The idea is for the viewer to scan the works left to right; starting with an introduction to our mission: combat readiness; moving to two historical benchmarks, one from our past and one from the present; completed by two works depicting Marines in the mission. TITLE | Touchdown | ARTIST | Howard A. Terpning | DESCRIPTION | Marines exiting a helicopter in Vietnam. The Marines are in dark hues of earth greens, with dark shading and shadowing. The Marines are being dropped in a background of a golden field that undetectably fades into the golden/orange background. | STYLE | Post-Impressionism: Focusing more on the subject matter of the Marines, then the landscape. Captured as hastily as the Marines exit with rapid strokes, dark pigments, laid in rugged, thick paint. Solid patches of color make the background while the subject matter is more clearly defined. (Sayre, pp. 1092-1093) | HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE | This work is important because...
