(Quotes: “Bobbie Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones and the other boys soon followed his example selecting the smoothest and roundest stones.” [pg147] “The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready. Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, she held her hands up desperately as the villagers moved in on her, ‘It isn’t fair,’ she said. A stone hit her on the side of the

In this horror story the initial image of the stones does not match up with their violent significance at the end. The use of the stones to kill Tessie Hutchinson represents how dangerous it can be to become blind to a tradition. The rocks show how the members of the town are acting barbaric and treat the lottery like it is a game. Throughout the story Jackson portrays the gathering of the stones as an innocent children’s activity. As the text states, “Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones … ” (Jackson 1). Nothing in this scene of the story suggests what the deadly stones will soon be used for. Instead, the children choosing the “smoothest and roundest stones” make it seem like the rocks are going to be used for entertainment. Throughout the story “the pile of stones in the corner” remains in the background while the villagers prepare for the lottery. The villagers go on with their everyday small talk and routine, in the text it reads, “Soon the men began to gather...speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes” (Jackson 1).

It encourages human beings to see themselves as part of the ecological system and to be one with nature. It questions the hierarchies of empires and of the human and natural world itself, suggesting that we must learn to love and transcend with the natural world, instead of seeking domination over it.

They let the free shape go into the jewelry. It is known for being heavy and, for a lack of better words, clunky. A great way to know if the piece of stone is real, is to feel its weight. If it’s on the lighter side there is a chance it’s a

Earth is said to be the feminine element. It is perceived to be nurturing, stable, and full of endurance. The planet itself is a ball of life in which one is

“When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection; love is born” - Nhat Hanh. Mother Earth is the mother of humanity, its loving nature brings us close into Her loving embrace. In the war novel All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque, Paul Baumer

The stones in the story symbolize death because that’s what they use to sacrifice the person that gets chosen when they do the lottery. “A person still has the capacity to reason would be harshly awoken by the truth that he or she was in the act of killing an innocent person.” In my own interpretation what this quote is saying that they make

What is your idea of art? Art can be made in many different styles from Earth art made with sticks and stones to a beautiful painting.You can also make art from scraps such as broken tools. These are all different kinds of art, many artists are known for certain kinds of art.

Some stones are taller, while others are shorter, some are round on top, while others are flat. All stones are natural. None of the stones were refurbished, coincidentally, the stones look as though they have just been dug out of the Earth. If a stone was placed in a location other than a cemetery, and one did not know better, he or she may be inclined to assume that the stone had no significance. The appearance of the stones is symbolic of the modesty endorsed by the religion.

According to Goldsworthy also stated on his 1990 webpage named “Philosophy”, “For me, looking, touching, materials, place and form are all inseparable from the resulting work. It is difficult to say where one stops and another begins. Place is found by walking, direction determined by weather and season” (Goldsworthy 1). There is a striking energy found in nature and Goldsworthy is a master at using line, colour and shape to help magnify this so called power. His artwork has been made in a new and innovative manner as time and the notion of being temporary have been incorporated. These are aspects of life that the environment and every human have in common. Time links all life; Goldsworthy’s unique sculptures help reinforce the importance of understanding the reality of birth, life, death and rebirth. His art is short-lived, and he captures every moment of his art’s changing and gradual demise for all his works depict their transformation due to the changing world around them. For example in the case of “Ice Spiral” (figure 3) and all of his other works, Goldsworthy takes pictures of the sculptures’ gradual destructions. When looking at Goldsworthy's work, it is easy to question the role photography plays in its documentation. The camera is crucial for Goldsworthy. His art is fragile, transient, and inaccessible. Therefore, the photograph becomes a means for the artist to make his work accessible to a wide viewing public. Through photographs, the viewer sees his work from a limited point of view. The artist is able, through the camera, to manipulate colour, light effects, and perspective. The work is taken out of its natural surroundings and the fleeting moments and randomness of nature are removed via its mechanical (re)production. Goldsworthy essentially challenges the conventional meaning of art and traditional views of what art is. Besides creating aesthetically

The Western world is the dominant society with specific parameters for modernity, which understands nature-people relationships from a perspective that is grounded on human domination over the environment. Nature is regarded as a provider of resources (e.g. oil, timber, cupper, rubber, etc.) for the profit and greed of a market-based economy that seeks infinite development. Consequently, the human-nature relationships are subject-object, implying
