Moreover, the styles and the way of depicting the characters are also different from the early medieval art. Also, the author aims to points out the elements on the doors that derive from an illustrated copy of The Genesis portion of Junius 11. For the last part, the author illustrated the historical reason why Bernware depicted the negative image of Eve by providing the background -- at that time, the reformers were opposed to marriage and claimed women--Eve--caused sin to enter the world. Bernware shared this belief on the bronze door by present lavicious Eve. Moreover, the struggle with a formidable female -- Sophia. She ,rallying nuns, ordered Bernware banned from the abbey because he rebuked her to not .follow “the course of dissolute life.” After many years of struggling,
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.

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.
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.
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 United Nation’s main objective is to maintain global peace and justice throughout its organization. But how does one successfully achieve their goal, and then go forth with it? How will the citizens respond to their leaders’ actions? If citizens don’t like how their leaders are putting forth their authority, it could result in a rebellion. But soon, one will ascertain what comes around goes around. In the novel Animal Farm, George Orwell wants us to understand the dangers of being a naive citizen can mean initially wanting freedom and equality, but will soon recognize everything has come full circle, with intensifying oppression.
From my observation at the Met, this sculpture is inside a medium glass and space. Also, it is by itself in the glass. It is a three-dimensional sculpture created by modeling and merging hard materials. Next to it there are other deities (Vishnu, Parvati, Ganesh etc.) and sculptors from the Chola Dynasty. The other works near it complements the sculpture as I have stated above they are from the same time period so, they are related to each other some way and
America, land of the free and where every vote matters, but does it? The popular vote in america hasn't always mattered and may never matter when the electoral college holds the final poll for presidency. bush was one president who didn't have the popular vote at all, yet he still became president.
