Anita Marchini's Funeral

Choosing an artifact for the box was an easy decision. I chose to put a picture of my dog, Chocolate, because he is very important to me. He is a two year old Schnoodle (half Schnauzer half Poodle) who we rescued from the animal shelter.  It will be exciting to look back at what he looked like as a puppy.  The artifact portrays me well since I love my dog and he is a big part of my life. It shares

“Let me get this straight,” Bryan Seacroft said during his interview of the twin Ponas Brothers.

The artifact I brought is a photograph of my sister and I at the Taquitz Falls, in Palm Springs California. This picture represents a successful hike that brought many tribulations my mom, sister Kailli, and I had to overcome during our adventure into the blazing desert.

The viewer will first notice the solid base shaped like a mother’s apron with two, apron-like tassels extending upward from each side. The base also is reminiscent of a large tree trunk and the texture gives the viewer the impression of a rough and heavy bark, just as a mother has a rough exterior while maintaining a soft interior when dealing with a child. Entangled in one, apron-like tassel, on the right side of the sculpture, the

This artifact is either a tomb or a temple, made primarily of cut stone. There are stairs leading up to the top, where there would either be an entrance or a place for prayer or sacrifices. The land around the artifact looks to be landscaped.

Today was the day. Your fourth anniversary with the love of your life, Zack Merrick. These years have been some of the best years of life, but the past year has been kind of tough with him being so busy with tours, being in the studio, and interviews. You were so happy that he was so succesful, but it was taking quite a toll on both of you. For instance, right now you were waiting for Zach to get home from an interview that ran a little late and your were feeling a little anxious.

My culture artifact is the Hina doll because it is a tradition in Japan to decorate with them for the Hinamatsuri. The Hinamatsuri is also known as "girls day". This is on March 3, and you wish girls good health and future happiness. The Hinamatsuri's origin was during the Heian period. The people would set afloat straw hina dolls and sent it down a river, which led to an ocean. This was used to take bad spirits away. The hina dolls are displayed on a hina dan. The hina dan is covered with a red carpet and the dolls are displayed on it. On the top is the imperial dolls ,which are the Emperor and the Empress. On the second platform holds the three court ladies. They are holding equipment for sake, a Japanese drink. On the third platform are

difficult item to adorn. And so the idea of Mary’s closet came to light. Because of my love of

People hold on to pieces of jewelry, furniture, and other symbolic collectables that is passed through generations. These things can remind a person of a loved one that is seen as being priceless.

My artifact is brown and black with almost 2 decades’ worth of memories; this object is my stuffed Rottweiler named Max. This artifact, although motionless with four legs, has walked to the moon and back with me as a child full of imagination. This artifact stores the most precious memories and has been with me at every step in my life. Max is very meaningful to me because we have shared many memories, from birth until now. My stuffed animal has been with me through every ups and downs in life, every change that has ever occurred to me, has been a part my past and present; and represents my future.

We, as humans, often get involved only with the issues that affect us or our environment. Furthermore, sometimes we do not see what is happening around us that affects the rest of the society. The article “Drugs are killing so many people in West Virginia that the state can’t keep up with the funerals” by Christopher Ingraham discusses the fact that in West Virginia, the amount of deaths caused (mostly) by overdose has increased so much in recent years that their indigent burial program has ran out of funds to cover funerals for people that do not have the funds to pay for

The things I carry is not as meaningful as the things that I keep safe. Physically I carry a phone and it means something for me because it’s direct contact with my friends and family with the push of a button. Not only that, but I am able to see the pictures and videos of loved ones that passed away or are so far away that I can’t see them. My phone is the quickest way for anyone to reach me at any time and it is very meaningful for me to talk to the people I love. Something that I have, but I don’t carry is a gold chain that my mother gave me. When it comes to objects, it is the most meaningful of all. The reason why it is so meaningful for me is because the backstory that went goes with it. My mom is very important to me and she raised me

Although Franz Mesmer was labeled as a fraud, he provided a basis for later psychoanalytic techniques such as hypnotism. As research of mental illness developed, mental disorders were classified as psychological illnesses instead of physiological illnesses. In light of this, physicians created ways to test the brain for mental illness: cranial capacity research and phrenology.

According to Danielle Paquette, author of “The Magic Word This Researcher Says Can Get People to Agree with You”, the word “moral” has more power than tradition or practicality. Paquette writes, “According to new research, a perception of morality strengthens an argument, giving it more sway than opinions based on tradition or practicality.” (Paquette 1-2). The study Paquette is referring to is from the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. Andrew Luttrell, a doctoral student from Ohio State, believes “people or causes we most admire share a common trait: They’re connected to our sense of morality,” (Paquette 2). In order to see if a person’s viewpoint gets stronger or is immune to opposing ideas when one states it is moral, Luttrell and other researchers set out to conduct several experiments. In the first experiment, the researchers presented to the students, information about a fake new senior exam policy. After that, the participants were told to write down their thoughts about the new policy and were then given feedback on whether they were more moral or traditional. Those who were told that their thoughts reflected morality were more likely to support the new policy. Furthermore, in experiment two, the researchers then told different
