Intention:
If you’re anything like me and you see this painting of “The Rock” by Peter Blume (1944), you may wonder what in the world is going on in the picture. At our first look, we see the obvious; the enormous rock Peter Blume placed right in the center. After looking at the scenery going on, I think that the placement and size of the rock is proportioned that way as a sign of it being significant. The way I see it, the monument plays an important role when it comes down to determining why there are so many things going on at once in the painting. With the comparison of the details of the hard working people to the broken rock, half built building, and the smoke, I will establish the reasons of why this picture shows both destruction and loyalty- and the ways destruction in this painting also results in uniting the people working.
Thesis/Claim:
The significance of the monumental rock placed right smack in the core of the painting, is the reason as to why the workers will be united by the desturction that occured to them.
Breaking it Down, Part 1:
The most coherent pieces of evidence that show the rock is represented as a monument and the workers are there because of it are the proportion and how everyone is working hard around it.
In terms of the placement, the rock was positioned to be right smack in the middle of this community-balanced on a couple of woods. It’s strange to see how it is placed because since it is balanced on unalligned chunks of wood, I

On September 26, 2017 I visited the Dallas Museum of Art where I saw “The Fountain of Vaucluse” by Thomas Cole. The oil on canvas painting, displays a rocky landscape which captures the beauty of nature and civilization while also provoking thought in the viewer. An individual’s nature to hope for something better than the current discomfort he or she is experiencing is portrayed through Cole’s use of color and environmental contrast in this piece.
ROA’s situation is defined largely by recent financials. They have demonstrated year over year decline in revenue, profit, and net income since 2003 as demonstrated in Figure 1 (below). (MSN Money, 2008)

At a time when the mormons arrived in the valley of Great Salt Lake and expanded settlements, the Hole-In-The-Rock expedition took place. The Explorers explored several places along the way and encountered different environments such as The Four Corners. These encounters and exploration lead to the creation of the Hole-In-The-Rock in 1880. This is significant because it is an example to all Latter-Day Saints of the power available to us when that are on the Lord's errand. Religious persecution was a big part of this event. Because of religious persecution the Mormons of the Latter-Day Saints had to leave their homes east of the Mississippi river. Religious Persecution is “a seismic mistreatment of an individual or group of individuals as a response to their religious beliefs or affiliations or lack thereof.” (wikapedia.org)
Structural movers would be hired to excavate underneath the rock, creating a cradle around it so that no damage is done to it. Because the rock is glacier erratic, pillow rock has already been moved from its original position. Moving the rock to the North American Bear Center would not be the first time it has been moved. Its current location on Main Street holds no historical connotations to be lost by moving it. Through relocation, not only would the rock have the opportunity to be seen by more people, but it also has the chance to gain less of a chance of being defaced by those who do not understand the history behind the
It is currently the largest exposed granite in the world weighing approximately one trillion pounds; although, only one third of the mountain can be seen as a majority of the mountain expands below ground as far as North Carolina. The enormous pluton mountain, as scientifically identified by geologist, was formed by a complex folding and faulting that had subsequently created the Blue ridge mountains. Though what remains as a mystery to many geologist is as to how such a massive granite mountain has become exposed. Although there are several theories that have been publicated to explain such a phenomena none are substantial or advocated the most. While the origins of Stone Mountain are elusive, the correlations of this landmarks with american history are intricately

Enchanted rock is a large dome that sticks out of the earth made up of granite rock. Although all we see is this large dome, Enchanted Rock is actually on part of a large rock called a batholith (Texas park and wildlife). Enchanted rock is an exfoliation dome, which means it is made up of layers or sheets (Texas park and wildlife). Eventually the layers begin to break into smaller pieces and they begin to slide off of Enchanted Rock. Weathering and erosion are constantly occurring at Enchanted Rock some sources are frost wedging, temperature change and root wedging (Texas park and wildlife). Not only does Enchanted Rock go through weathering and erosion in nature but people also play a part in the weathering of the rock. Every year over 300,000
My group chose scene one at page 24. The initial interpretation that we had was to use the rock as the sense of responsibility that all of the group members were buckling under. We showed this by having the characters stand in a circle, each with one hand in the middle, raised above their heads, with them converging on one point - where the rock was. We did this to show how each character is attempting to pass on their responsibility to other people - the group is trying to blame Adam’s death on others. We also thought that it would be quite interesting to point out how the group are avoiding culpability (each character drew their hands away from the rock, one at a time). The rock could also have been interpreted as a symbol for the solidarity of the relationship between all of the group members. We developed on this idea through having Phil attempt to pass the rock to other characters when he was saying his dialogue, by gently kicking the rock towards a specific character; he was trying to make others reprehensible, instead of himself. To further this idea we used the medium space, levels and proxemics and had some of the characters react to Phil trying to palm off the responsibility by moving away and also saying something. I chose to have my character laugh it off and use body language to show how he wasn’t bothered with what was happening (turning away, while fiddling with my hands to show how
Jerusalem is much more than just another city on the map. It is the holy city where three Abrahamic religions originated. But more importantly, it is one of the three holiest places on earth, along with Mecca and Medina. The Dome of the Rock is known to be built around 691-692. There have been some disputes as to why the Dome of the Rock was built. The disputes have generally been between Muslim scholars who have their own reasons to believe why this sacred Dome was built, and there will always be doubts and differing opinions because it is hard to know exactly the reason or the cause that led to the Dome being built. Moreover, Grabar also discusses the purpose of the Dome and why it was chosen to be in the specific location that it is today, as well as the function of the Dome. In addition,
Evidence of almost 100 of the stones has revealed without the need to excavate the site, due to remote sensing, ground-penetrating radar and geographical imaging technologies. These advancements in science and technology allow researchers to discover the historical monuments full extent. Fragments of bones, stones and the foundation pits in which they were situated have all been uncovered during excavations and technological mapping indicating the true size and importance the site was to the Neolithic
Gaps between two different sedimentary rocks, are called unconformities. These gaps usually happen when an old layer of sedimentary rock is covered by a new layer of sedimentary rock. They are called unconformities because they don’t conform the basic geological expectations. So, what are the expectations? The law of original horizontality states that layers of sedimentary rock called strata, should be laying down horizontally to the earth's surface, just like pages in a book. Where the layers mismatch and create a gap, that is called an unconformity.
Individuals can make decisions that have consequences. In Mauro Senesi’s “Giraffe” and Joesph Whitechill’s story “The Day of the Last Rock” the decisions that are made lead to loss of innocence. Decisions made can be good or bad and loss of innocence is stripped away in different ways.
