Featured and organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Romare Bearden’s collection is one that appreciates and depicts life for what it really is. Bearden did not like abstract expressionism. Instead, he made many collages depicting life with different perspectives, allowing the viewer to see reality, but also try to figure out the true meaning that Bearden meant to portray in the collage that was not directly seen by just looking at the picture. These collages were made by “Cut and pasted printed, colored and metallic papers, photostats, pencil, ink marker, gouache, watercolor, and pen and ink on Masonite” (MET Museum). Bearden liked telling narratives within these collages involving Harlem life. Whether it was on the streets, inside

This also accounts for 6 and 8 in Figure 3.3. In Figure 3.3, in the section labeled 5, I found a coin from 288 – 337 A.D. Because this section was a mixture of chalk rubble and topsoil and by the date of the coin, we can conclude this section is back fill from the building of the pathway in 1136.

The Quartet by Joseph Ellis was a novel to provide detail of the years following the American Revolution, and how the Quartet of George Washington, James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton each provided a quality in guiding America toward the right direction. Ellis creates a theme almost as if the reader is on a tour guide, because he explains the perspective on how America was being created between the “Second Revolution” of the years 1783-1789. But, the main goal Ellis wanted to make clear was this time period was the process of how America became a Nation. After finishing the book, Ellis was effective in making the case that the Quartet of Washington, Jay, Hamilton, Madison, as well as other major influences, greatly affected the “transition from confederation to nation.” Each Quartet presented a value in help transitioning America into a Nation, and Ellis provides excellent examples to solidify that claim.

The artifact functions as a music box and was a prominent instrument during the Sumerian age and was most commonly used during funerals. In addition, since the piece of work was found in a royal tomb, one can further assume that it played a role in ancient funeral rites or banquets13. The Epic of Gilgamesh, explained earlier, could have also played a role in the development of this piece since it was a large part of literature in the Sumerian age. Even though the poem was written down hundreds of years after this plaque was created, it could be evidence for the first documentation of a long oral tradition13. Although there is no known patron of the work, it was most likely intended to be played and seen by an audience and give respect to the dead. In contrast, the Lapith Fighting a Centaur was apart of the Parthenon and had been widely known for centuries; it wasn’t a recent discovery. The relief, along with the 96 others on the building, depicts a legendary war between two factions. Even though these were mythic tales, they played a large role in Ancient Greek lives. The reliefs were created to most-likely educate the people of Greece about their gods and to recreate their religious

Throughout chapter 6, Ralph becomes a more forceful leader as a result of his people become less civilized. Ralph seems desperate for his people to listen to him and as if he can’t get everyone together. For example, when everyone is saying they want to stay near the rock fort, Golding writes, “I say we’ll go on!’ shouted Ralph furiously,” (108). By Ralph “shouting furiously”, we see the weight of authority taking a toll on Ralph through the desperation in his tone. In this chapter, it becomes clear Ralph is getting tired of his responsibility as chief. When walking in a line, he let’s Jack lead the way. Golding says, “Ralph walked in the rear, thankful to have escaped responsibility for a time,” (103). Allegorically, if Ralph symbolizes civility and Jack symbolizes savagery, Ralph surrendering temporary leadership

In the beginning of the novel the boys were portrayed as young and innocent children, curious and fond of their surroundings. As the story continues, we can witness the boys going through a survival phase, according to what they witness and feel they react accordingly. They become savage and give into the evil inside of themselves, and follow no of the rules that were set. The plot later reveals that the boy’s in fact are not innocent at all. They are not even close to being innocent. William Golding does a very good job when laying out the habits and the traits of the boys.

If girls were on Coral island, I do not think things would be totally different, the motives and results will be the same. Putting them in the same era, there are girls that are brutal, mean, and very manipulative, they wants power, and they will use rules or bullying to get what they want and use any sort of punishment. The conch shells would not be important the leader, There would be groups, that the girls put themselves into.

Carter G. Woodson is known as the father of Black History. He is also the second African American to ever earn his Ph.D. On February 7th, 1926 Woodson organized Negro History Week which led to the recognition of African American achievements over the entire month of February every year which is known as Black History Month. Woodson believed that African Americans may have lacked the motivation to learn because they weren’t learning about their own heritage and culture. He worked towards equality and to make African Americans thought of as more than just a race. Without Woodson’s accomplishments the achievements of the African American race may still be ignored and overlooked today.

The Temple of Quetzalcoatl is historically popular due to the lavish designs that surround its facades, especially one distinct figure: the feathered serpents. Feathered serpents are historically important to the Mayan culture (Taube). The serpent is known as a very important element in the Mayan war culture. Leaders and warriors have a feathered serpentine figure in their headdresses to signify the importance of war. According to anthropologists Caso and Bernal, the Teotihuacan feathered serpent is identified with a horizontally projecting nose with a slight upcurve at the end with slightly curving teeth resembling the teeth of Teotihuacan jaguars (Taube). The Old Temple, as it is also popularly referred to, is surrounded by tiers of feathered

The pit was found by Daniel McGinnis on Oak Island in summer, 1795. As he was sitting below a tree, he noticed a circuler depression in the ground (A depression in geology is a landform sunken or depressed below the surrounding area). since thre were tales of pirates in the area, he decided to get some friends and shovels and come back. The next few days, Daniel McGinnis, John Smith, and Anthony Vaughan got to work digging down into the depression, and at two feet they came across some flagstones blocking thier way down. At 10 feet a wall of logs spanned the pit. Same thing happened with 20 feet and 30 feet. By now they couldn't continue, so they left and made plans to return.

Erikson’s stage that I am choosing to explore is the sixth stage, known as intimacy vs isolation. This is the stage when young people learn to make personal commitment to another spouse, parent, or partner. Throughout this stage, one also tends to seek love. One starts to wonder whether he or she will be loved or will he or she be alone. Ideally, this relates to my own personal life because recently, I tried to pursue a relationship with someone who did not have interest me. These feelings developed based off my interpretation of love. When I venture out to find love, I look for someone who offers me happiness. As a result of my own beliefs, I thought this person liked me back. Little did I know, I was totally wrong. This accusation resulted in me creating

Erik Erikson was a prominent American psychologist that created many theories about human development and social growth. Erikson produced a stage model based upon the premise that a person lives in the social world and that personality is formed based upon the social interactions that a person experiences. He describes a series of development crises that a person must face throughout the lifespan. Erikson’s theory can be applied to “The King of Pop”, Michael Jackson. Many stages of Erikson’s psychosocial theory failed in Michael Jackson’s life. The results of Jackson not successful completing these stages lead him to be mentally deranged.

The Repton Long Barrow Site is a Neolithic burial mound in Repton, Bluffshire, U.K. The Repton area sits on top of a large, thick layer of chalk, with native soils that overlays this chalk base. Originally, this site sat isolated in the flood plain of the River Esk which lies to the south. It appears that the Repton Long Barrow is of the early Neolithic burial mound building complex that began appearing in the archaeological record of Britain in 4000 BP. The entire site itself is roughly 50 meters long and tapers from 9 meters wide in the west to 15 meters wide in the east. As seen on the overview map of the site there appears to be an indication there is a ditch that was dug around the barrow leaving the eastern edge unfinished of during of
