Focused Analysis: Armes Du Juste Milieu By Charles Philipon

The main purpose of this paper is to describe the visual analysis of the artwork. This paper examines an Egyptian half nude portrait art which is taken from Metropolitan Museum of Art (Fig.1). The statue characterized both male and female seated figure with a Braid hair. In this essay, I will present a complete visual description of this artwork (its preservation, costume and iconography), and then I will compare it to another artwork which is chosen from Textbook that is Akhenaten and his Family (Fig. 2).

The first ten lines of the poem describe a setting sun and establish the framework in which we are expected to view the monarchy’s fall. Detailing the “glorious” (1) sun’s “double brightness” (4) while he dips below the horizon, Philips portrays the sunset as something both beautiful and terrifying. As the sun “[p]uts on his highest looks in ‘s lowest state” (6), he compels observers to hate him while “ador[ing] his Fall” (8). This section not only characterizes the sun’s shining sunset as a response to his fated end, but evokes the idea of war with words such as “magazine” (as in a magazine of bullets) to refer to the sun’s light (1).

The five most important scenes of The Scarlet Letter were first, Hester holding baby Pearl being shamed on the scaffold right in the beginning. Second, when Chillingworth found out that Dimmesdale was the man who committed adultery with Hester. Third, when Hester and Dimmesdale were in the forest talking about fleeing and living with only each other and Pearl. Fourth, in which Dimmesdale finally reveals his sin to the public as he is on death’s bed. Finally, the last most important scene of the novel, is the “happy ending” when everything gets wrapped up.

The Oath of the Horatii is seen as one of the most symbolic masterpieces of the French Revolution and of patriotism. The ideals of freedom, equality and fraternity

The young male within the painting is holding his hand over his chest simply on top of the cross on hisjewelry, and there area unit paintings of scattered Fleur DE Lis symbols throughout the painting fromprime to bottom, sometimes in teams of 3. The Fleur DE Lis may be a unreal liliaceous plant that wastypically related to French Royalty. within the French language Fleur suggests that flower, and Lissuggests that liliaceous plant.

Every text is made up of tremendously important parts called literary devices or techniques. In those texts, those literary devices are a necessary part, that help develop the text in a large amount of ways. In “Response to executive order 9066” by Dwight Okita and “Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros both develop the common theme of American identity by using literary devices such as, simile, imagery, and personification.

This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master. It is from the Late Classical period of Greek, Attic which was completed around ca.360 B.C. . I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because I’m mainly attracted to art and sculptures from the Greek era. The overall color used in this relief is ivory with a few cracks and pieces broken off. There is some discoloration which causes the color to come off as slightly light brown for most of the relief. The sculpture appears larger compared to the other sculptures in the art room. It represents a family which includes a man, his wife, and their

What is the price that society is willing to pay in order to establish a perceived ideal image? In “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, the two presented societies are portrayed to be polar opposites. “Harrison Bergeron” is a futuristic society while “The Lottery” is a more traditional contemporary society. However, the trials both respective protagonists face show that social control by persons representing authority often leads to conflict in very different settings. This is done for the sole purpose of shaping members of society into the ideal image envisioned by those in control. “The Lottery” and “Harrison Bergeron” are both cautionary short stories which explore the ideology of maintaining a perfect

Picture a society, far in the future, where everyone, by government control, must be on the same level. Would this be Hell or a utopia? This is the subject of Kurt Vonnegut’s short story, “Harrison Bergeron”. In this society, the gifted, strong, and beautiful are required to wear multiple handicaps of earphones, heavy weights, and hideous masks. In turn, these constraints leave the world equal, or arguably devoid of, from brains to brawn to beauty. With the constant push for equality among all people, Vonnegut reveals a world that society is diligently working toward. “Harrison Bergeron” is written as a form of satire with heavy irony, to demonstrate the clear difference between equity and equality in society. “Harrison Bergeron” is

In the story Harrison Bergeron in the year 2081 everyone is equal, no one is smatter, better looking, stronger, faster, etc. than anyone else, but rather everyone is “average”. This story raises the idea of tall poppy syndrome. A derogatory term used to describe a social phenomenon in which people are resented, attacked, put down, and criticized by society because their talents or achievements place them above and distinguish them from their peers. This is evident in the characters Harrison Bergeron, George Bergeron, and the ballerina whose talents are being hindered by the government (handicapper general) in the story. Harrison Bergeron is and absurdly handsome, strong, genius who outpaces his peers.

By what means can someone achieve true equality, other than putting aside hatred. Strict governmental control? Will hiding a person’s real identity, abolish the envy and irrational hatred? Kurt Vonnegut illustrates the individuality of each person, and the lack of equality within society. Vonnegut using symbolism, irony, and simile, describes his view of the government to be dysfunctional and ineffective in his story, “Harrison Bergeron”.

Christopher Johnson McCandless walked alone into the Alaskan wilderness with very little equipment and food after traveling to various parts of North America during the course of two years. Regardless of living on his own with not many things for a couple of years, Chris died alone in a bus on the Stampede Trail in Alaska. Author Jon Krakauer wrote a 9,000 word article titled “Death of an Innocent” for the 1993 issue of the magazine Outside. Into the Wild is simply an extension of that article which explains what provoked Chris into living such a life, who he was, and how he died. The author proves to the reader that Chris was an intelligent man by explaining his research about edible plants and his ambition which builds up Chris’s

Many attribute the evolution of the French revolution as the catalyst for redirection of the style of artwork from Baroque and Rococo to Neoclassical and Romanticism. Two leading masterpieces that support this aspect are respectively: Jacques-Louis David, Oath of the Horatii, (c. 1784) and Eugène Delacroix, Liberty Leading the People, (c. 1830). As commented in Essential Humanities (2016), the French revolution “in all its heroic glory and grisly destruction” (par. 10) is masterfully portrayed in Delacroix 's personification of liberty. In addition, the summons for commitment to the cause of freedom is classically rendered in David 's vow of victory or death. Within this essay both of these paintings are examined in regards to their connection to the French revolution.

On July 14, 1789, Third Estate citizens protested in the form of a riot in what is recorded in history as the Storming of the Bastille. The Bastille was a French prison and a symbol of power and the monarchies dictatorial rule. This renowned and brutal event was to protest against King Louis XVI. In fact, it was so brutal that the governor was killed and his head was placed on a spike for all to see. This day, now present France’s Independence Day, represents the Third Estate’s plea for liberty and

In the novel “Into the Wild”, the author, Jon Krakauer, memorializes the life of the young adventurer Chris McCandless. McCandless aspired to travel to Alaska to break loose from the traditional conveniences of society and civilization. During his trip, McCandless journaled about his adventures. However, he did not live long enough to disclose the details of his journey in person. After discovering McCandless’s story, Krakauer decided to write “Into the Wild”. Although Krakauer never met McCandless, Krakauer is able to authorize voicing a dead man’s saga in a trustworthy narrative because of his use of McCandless’s journals and letters, primary source information from Chris’s friends and family, and by showing the parallels between him and the life of McCandless.
