This paper will focus on the Statue of Dionysos leaning on a female figure. Also known as the Hope Dionysos. The statue is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and is located on the first floor Roman and Greek art chamber. Upon entering this sector, you will notice a grand statue that catches your eyes and captivates you as it welcomes you in gracefully. The exhibition is set up in the back center of the room, and is noticeable due to the largeness in scale and the enigmatic yet calming disposition the statue portrays. My first impression of the sculpture was how detailed and realistic the statue is. Since the statue was so defined you would be able to identify what he was wearing and how his body was shaped to how long his hair was during this time period. I was profoundly intrigued by how peaceful the statue of Dionysos embodied and found myself coming back to it and looking in awe. In curiosity, I would choose this statue for my assignment because I wanted to learn more about the history of the Hope Dionysos. In this essay I will be describing my formal analysis of the artwork, the subject matter behind it, the artist and the historical content of the statue of Dionysos.

The Theme of Hope in To Kill a Mockingbird And Scarlet Ibis Hope saves people. People who have hope and faith are often people who succeed in life and do well. Desmond Tutu has hope for the world when he says “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.” (Tiny Buddha) In the story to Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout shows hope in Boo Radley by continuing to grow closer to him and befriend him.

To have hope is to be able to see the light amid the darkness. This is a notion shown in Ned Vizzini’s “It’s Kind of a Funny Story”.

This is important because everyone undergoes hardships at some point in their life and must be able to prevail.

As shown on the cover page, I did my project on Hope Was Here by Joan Bauer, which was published in 2000, and Say Goodnight, Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver, which was published in 1988. Hope Was Here is about a 16 year old girl, who is being raised by her Aunt Addie, who is a chef. Her mom, Deena deemed hereself unfit to take care of Tulip, who later changed her name to Hope as soon as she turned 12. Hope is a teenage waitress, and her Aunt Addie and she have moved around a lot. The story starts with Addie and Hope just arrived in the small rural town of Mulhoney, Wisconsin, from their last place of employment in New York. Hope spends the summer waitressing at the Welcome Stairways Diner, and Addie and her end up being involved the diner’s owner, who is recovering from leukemia, G.T.

Hope in Krik Krak Psalm 30:5, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” A powerful scripture to some, a meaningful quote to others, but most importantly, it is a message that helps tie together the overall purpose or mood that the reader may interpret while reading this book. In the book, Krik Krak, a series of short stories, the author Edwidge Danticat utilizes juxtaposition to create characters with a positive mindset during the worst case scenarios that in return create a sense of hope throughout the book. Every story had a character that went through tests and trials and managed to still have hope, but only a couple stood out.

When I found out that Hope wasn't the main characters birth name, I was very surprised. From the very beginning of the story, you could tell she was a Hope and definitely not a Tulip. Hope's name was a great fit for her, not only because of the things she overcame, but also because of the way she held herself through those tough times. Her aura screamed hope. Hope held her head high through the worst times in her life, such as when Gleason Beal betrayed her and took off with all of her and Addie's money. Another rough spot in her life was not having a mom or dad. Hope had met her mom, Deena, a couple times, but she had no idea who her dad was. Throughout the book, she remained hopeful that her dad would come and swoop her off her feet and fix

Hope, by definition means to look forward to something with reasonable desire and confidence. Hope also means a person or thing in which expectations are centered. When discussing the word hope, one must consider the core values by which the word works around. You could hope for financial success, world peace, or simply hope for some good out of your day. In 2006, Barack Obama wrote the political biography The Audacity of Hope to outline his core political and spiritual beliefs, as well as his opinions on different aspects of American culture. The Illinois senator divided the book into nine chapters, each concentrating on both his own and the United States’ successes and failures in local and state politics. While revealing great

POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT: Typically, viewers can count on my reviews being spoiler-free, but there is a chance that I may reveal something you didn't know or hadn't heard.

However, if you are dying to know what may or may not be included in the upcoming premiere, read on. But know you have been warned.

This shows that even though she didn't have a dad, she overcame it by living life happily. Clearly, even when the struggles get hard there is always a way to overcome is a life lesson developed through the use of conflict in Forgotten.
