Dog Of Pompeii By Louis Untermeyer And Pompeii

Imagine, living in a peaceful environment surrounded by your loved ones, and suddenly watching it crumble to pieces in front of you. As morbid as that sounds Antonina and Jan Zabinski had to prevail through a constant state of peril, but they did more than just survived. In the midst of World War II, as Germany was invading Poland, the family managed to save about 300 lives by allowing shelter and hiding places in their zoo while working with the Underground; a resistance group dedicated to riding Warsaw of the German Nazis. The family overcomes many hardships that I would love to inform you of because truly this book is like no other I have read, and I say that with respect and awe. This novel contains laughter, sacrifice, and bravery in all of its forms.

The sky turned dark as a huge, black cloud rose into the air. Stones, hot ash, and poisonous gases fell down onto the city of Pompeii as the seemingly quiet Mt. Vesuvius erupted in the year 79 A.D. Soon the entire city and all of it’s people were buried under 20 feet of ash. Even though this ancient city lived over 2,000 years ago, their daily life has similarities to ours today. Daily life in Pompeii is similar to us in various ways.

Would you want to be in the city of pompeii or mt. st. helens, when the volcanos erupted? Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980, and vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. They were both the same kind of volcano, stratovolcano. The Volcano’s both spewed ash, and pumice. The cities could feel the tremors the “Mountains” were causing. The Volcano’ s caused huge eruptions, that buried homes, and the whole city.

In when the eruption of the volcano occurred, Alex was left fighting for his life and remembering taking everything for granted. For example, his family, water, light and stableness. This book is also important because it shows we should always be prepared for a disaster in life. Therefore, we as a society should always have knowledge over protecting ourselves and taking

The Satyricon has been dated to the first century CE, in which Pompeii was a Roman city and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius happened in 79 CE. Due to the mentions of Pompeii in The Satyricon without mention of the eruption, it can be assumed that the novel was written before the eruption and that some of the Roman lifestyles can be applied to Pompeii as it still stood and was partially Romanized during this text. Although this Roman work is a fictional satire, it still illuminates what social parties, house design, slave relations, women’s roles, religious beliefs, etc. may have been like in the final days of Pompeii.

It was a horrible sight. Clouds of smoke and ash filled the air above the city; half of Rome had already burnt down, and the fire was still going. The red glow looked fierce and deadly, for indeed it was. We knew there were many people trapped inside the city to fall as helpless victims to the fire, just like a prisoner in a flooding jail; with no way to escape. As I finish this diary entry, we are about to head off again, for the town of Anguillara, which is no more than twenty miles away. Our family is planning to find somewhere to stay there, possibly to live. However, one thing is certain; my life will not be the same ever

Since the city of Pompeii laid on the bottom of Mt Vesuvius, it was easily a target of the burning fires and poisonous ashes, but since Mt Vesuvius was dormant for more than 1500 years, the civilians of Pompeii was not afraid of any unnatural phenomena. As a result, they were unprepared and were victims of the burning fire coming out of the raging Mt

The events in Oedipus the King, written by Sophocles, suggesting a connection between man 's free will towards perfection in life or fate which the ancient Greeks believed that Gods had given to them. Man was free to choose and was ultimately held responsible for his own actions. Both the concepts of fate and free will are a poignant factor and they play an indispensable role in the Oedipus ' destruction. Oedipus was a victim of fate when he was predicted from birth to someday marry his mother and to murder his father. This prophecy as a warning by the oracle of Apollo, and it certainly will happen, no matter what he would do to avoid it. His past actions were determined by fate, but what he did in Thebes, it was decided by his own will.

Female artists have been largely absent from their contribution to art history, despite many women being excellent academic painters. Instead, women have been painted and sculptured from the viewpoint of men, often nude, passive, waiting and beautiful. These reclining nudes were intended as objects of desire painted from, and for a male perspective. For example, The Venus of Urbino, 1538, (Figure 1), by Titian was created for the Duke of Urbino Guidobaldo II Della Rovere, as a present for his young wife, Giulia Varano. This artwork was purposefully erotic, as a reminder to the young woman of her marital obligations, and role in society. The woman pictured in the artwork was evidently beautiful with her fullness, and her contrasting light skin

Vesuvius exploded. Mount Vesuvius, a volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, is hundreds of thousands of years old and has erupted more than 50 times. This explosion buried Pompeii. The dust “poured across the land” like a flood and shrouded the city in “a darkness,” a spectator said. Two thousand people died, and the city was abandoned for almost as many years. When a group of explorers rediscovered the site in 1748, they were surprised to find that underneath a thick layer of dust and debris–Pompeii was mostly intact. The buildings, artifacts and skeletons left behind in the buried city have taught us a great deal about everyday life in the ancient world. Mount Vesuvius was a composite volcano. Mt. Vesuvius was a significant volcano that buried Pompeii in 79

Identity is made up of a lot of different characteristics, which shape people’s personality, actions and morals. It is also a way of defining someone’s features, race, and ethnicity. Cambridge Dictionary defines identity as representing “who a person is, or the qualities of a person or group that make them different from others” (Cambridge Dictionary). An individual’s identity is not always static, rather as time goes on; people have diverse experiences that will influence identity. In fantasy novels, identity can be fluid, dualistic and fragmented. As a story goes on, it documents the evolution of a characters’ identity, and how these characters are often changed by their experiences. In the novel The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein, the main character Bilbo embarks on an adventure which expands his identity and knowledge in terms of what form of identity fits him best, either Took or Baggins. In the novel A Dog’s Head by Jean Dutourd, the main character Edmond, who has a body of a human and the head of a dog, goes through a constant struggle of whether to identify with the animal or human society. Identity is a central theme to fantasy because it is about overcoming obstacles, and to solidify who a character wants to be.

This following quote by Aristotle explains how he viewed a tragedy: “Tragedy is an imitation of an action of high importance, complete and of some amplitude; in a language enhanced by distinct and varying beauties; acted no narrated; by means of pity and fear effecting its purgation of these emotions” (Aristotle, 1819, p. VI), (Kennedy & Gioia, 2013, p. 945). “From the thirteenth chapter of the Poetics we learn that the best sort of tragic hero is a man highly esteemed and prosperous who falls into misfortune because of a tragic flaw in the morality of the character: examples, Oedipus and Thyestes (Dodds, 1966, p. 38).” Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero has lasted the strains of time, because during Aristotle time he was rarely questioned on his teachings or practices. The play Oedipus the King by Sophocles changed the way tragic plays where viewed in early Greek times, this allows readers to identify with Oedipus’s moral flaw which creates how children feel about their parents.
