Maiden's Tower: Built By Manual Commenos

Everyone has ghosts in their closets; something they are running from, or trying to bury alive. Cathedral, written by Raymond Carver, takes place in the early 1980’s. Originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1981. Carver slightly revised the story and re-released it in 1983. At a time when the blue collar working class lived paycheck to paycheck, working hard for newfound luxuries such as color television, this short story is humorous and eye-opening for the reader. For adults ranging from thirty to forty years old, the 1980’s were possibly a ghostly, haunting time. In the 1970’s, many of these people were experimenting with social use of drugs and alcohol; unfortunately, some did not survive to see the following

A lot of the time, the bias of the world interferes with the perception of others and the way they are viewed, leaving out the realistic factor of how that person’s personality actually is. We make assumptions based on what we were taught growing up, and the experiences we’ve had in life. In the short story, “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver the narrators bias led him to believe that the blind man who was visiting his wife will be nothing but an awkward person who is incapable of doing things on his own. Throughout the story the narrator, learns through multiple experiences that the blind man is not that different from him, and that he can do almost everything an un-handicapped person could do in their daily life.

The funerary monument of a young girl or “Kline Monument with a Reclining Girl” featured at the Getty Villa is a roman piece from around AD 120-140 made in the Roman Empire. This piece is crafted from marble and has "HIC SPECIES ET FORMA IACET MISERAB[ILIS] AETAS EFFI[GIESQUE” inscribed on the lower edge which translates from Latin to “Here lies the most beautiful girl. What a pity at such a young age”. The sculpture while made of marble is somewhat intact with a large chunk missing from the front which interrupts the quote.

The Tower embodies collapse of all kinds as is shown in the illustration, which usually presents with a tower being toppled in some way. This is usually done with a lightening bolt, showing that the collapse is commonly cause by the hand of the divine, and not man. The debris falling fro the tower is considered to be, by some, the life force. The top of the building has fallen off or has been destroyed, symbolizing the loss of a leadership position. This card shows old forms of all kinds that were thought to never fall toppling. It shows the breaking down of old systems or ways of thinking. This is very much like the turret of a castle coming down in an invasion where the powers of the land are being usurped by new and free-thinking

The Freedom Tower also known as “One World Trade Center” is the tallest skyscraper in the western hemisphere, and the fifth tallest skyscraper in our planet earth. The building structure consists of 104 stories can also be described as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center. The Building location is 285 Fulton Street, Manhattan New York, United States 10007, as depicted in the map below Figure 1.

Pastor Bonhoeffer once said, “Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging other’s, we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.” The way we treat people reflects on ourselves. The way the world judges and condemns each other is very true and an everyday reality for most. The same could be said about people who are limited by one or more of their six senses and are judged by the majority of the population who are not limited and make preconceived notions about these limitations which can bind them. Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral” explores many literary devices that reveal the pre conceived perception towards people with physical limitations without understanding the individual first, which is still a problem today.

The structure was a funerary temple for a ruler during the classical period. The tomb of the ruler has been located in side of the structure. This type of temple raised nine stepped levels. This is supposed to symbolize the nine levels of the underworld. The pyramid was a shrine of the ruler and a cared wooden lintel.

In Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral”, it tells the story of a man whose wife one summer, worked for a blind man. The blind man and the husband’s wife, kept in touch throughout the years by sending cassettes back and forth in the mail. The blind man’s wife recently died and the husband’s wife invites him to say in her home, but her husband is displeased by this request. In the beginning of the story, the husband is very rude to the blind man and finds amusement by making fun of the blind man’s disability. Throughout the story, the husband’s opinion about the blind man changes and eventually the husband puts himself into the shoes of the blind man.

I read and started perusing and composing the names of structures and the engineers that appeared to be engaging. After, I turned every building upward online to see the picture; the real structure and by inclination I started to wipe out and select the ones I discovered generally fascinating. This limited down the rundown I had and made if much effective to start a more significant examination. The objective of discovering a book at the library kept up, I then went to the Texas Tech Library catalog and typed in all the buildings I found. Twilight of examination I chose to step back, and begin once again. I required a less complex arrangement, for example, considering more contemporary structures that still connected to the Egyptian Revival

The Caryatid Porch in Athens stands as one of the city's most impressive works of art and is, to this, day, one of the most beautiful artworks that have ever been created. The Greeks brought together aesthetics and functionality by using these sculptures as architectural support meant to replace conventional columns. The sculptures are part of the Erechtheion temple located on the North side of the Acropolis. The temple was build somewhere between 421 and 406 B.C. and its name originates in the fact that it holds a shrine meant to serve the courageous Greek Hero Erichthonius.

When we think of typology in the Old testament, we think of types of Christ. The sacrifice of the Passover lamb is a classic example. Passages in the New Testament (see 1 Cor. 5:7; John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19) verify typology as a legitimate form of biblical interpretation. But what about passages in the Old Testament that seem to clearly indicate a “Christ-type” that are not officially sanctioned by the New Testament writers? There are many types of Christ not specifically mentioned in the New Testament that are clearly types of Christ. Joseph is a classic example. Any internet search of Joseph/typology will give plenteous prolepses of Christ.
