The Statue Of Perfection-Personal Narrative

It’s your destiny you decide, on earth and beyond in heaven or hell; it’s your choice. The decisions we as humans make

The statue of Hatshepsut seated down is made with the material limestone. This limestone is lightly colored, which created a larger contrast with the other statues nearby. Her face was carved bringing out her eyes, eyebrows and other facial features. Her eyebrows also come slightly together towards the middle. Her lips forming a slight archaic smile. The dimensions are larger than an average female size. The statue is of great size, yet still in proportion. The body and head fit well with each other overall. However, it is greatly exaggerated in size.

Destiny can be described as a situation like finding your “soulmate” or the love of your life. When really it’s a choice who you love. It’s a choice who your friends are. None of these things happen purely out of destiny. They come from decisions; or choices made. As life goes on, different choices are made and the future becomes more clear. Giving time to decide whether to follow the path you are on or change its

    It is important to realize  that fate is not something that is predestined, it is

Although several aspects of life are predetermined, there are moments people have control over their fate. For example, no one has control over death, and even though many refuse their undeniable fate, it cannot be avoided. However, there are choices we make that mold our future, thus, changing our fate. On various occasions, there will be a fork in one’s path, and that person will have to choose which journey to take. In life, there are small, ineffective decisions you have to resolve, but there are also larger, life altering choices. Of course, others may feel the same way about fate, or entirely different. In fact, since the beginning of time, authors of literature have discussed their ideas on such matters, a few examples being Dr. Seuss, Charles Dickens, and Edgar Allen Poe. These authors, famous for their thought provoking literary work, provide differing opinions on the fate and destiny of a human being through the use of allegory.

Who controls our destiny in life; our path to success? Ourselves, we control our own destiny to a certain limit. In the passage Into the Wild the author Jon Krakauer explains how one man, Chris McCandless, sent his destiny into the wild but died by following his path to fate. His death was the limit I referred to. Chris finds himself hitchhiking to Alaska to get away from his past to start his new journey of life. He was then known as Alexander Supertramp because he even changed his name so no one could find him, not even his parents. Though Chris dies in the end, he still was able to control his own path into the woods. No matter the difficulty of the situation you can always find yourself a new path.

If I choose to disobey my parents that results me getting punished. If I choose to not study for my exams and tests that would result me in failing my test. If I choose to not wear a helmet when I ride a bike and I fall it would be my fault because I chose not to wear one. I’m responsible for my own destiny/actions. If I choose not to learn and get an education for myself and I don’t go to college I’m choosing not to succeed in life I’m choosing my destiny to be a failure.

According to Melchizedek on page 49, your destiny is “what you have always wanted to accomplish.” He continued to say that finding one’s Personal Legend is easiest at a young age, because at that time the world hasn’t beaten a person down to the point where it seems impossible to complete their destiny. That being said, one can find their Personal Legend by simply recognizing what they’ve always wanted to do; what their lifetime goal is, essentially. As for what my Personal Legend is, I’m on the same boat as Santiago; I’ve always wanted to travel. I’ve always felt that there was more to life than the bare desert that is Arizona. As a child, my parents and I constantly moved from home to home, and for me school to school, so I’ve developed the skill of adaptation. That sense of constantly moving stayed with me, to the point where I don’t like to stay in one place too long. It’s also not just the world that I want to travel, but the entire universe. I used to get so upset that I wasn’t born in the future where space travel is possible and easier to achieve. However, I know that I can’t simply become a shepherd and travel like Santiago did, because it’s not that easy in today’s society. I wish for the day I become financially secure enough to fulfill my Personal

The marble statue of Diadoumenos is a copy of the original bronze statue displaying a young man tying a fillet around his head. The original was created in c.a. 430 B.C. by a man called Polykleitos of Argos. Polykleitos was a Greek sculptor who worked during the mid-fifth century B.C. . he was one of the most famous artists of the ancient world. Polykleitos' figures are carefully designed with special attention to bodily proportions and stance. The statue of Diadoumenos has its thorax and pelvis tilt in opposite directions, setting up rythmic contrasts in the torso that create an impression of organic vitality. The position of the feet, (poised between walking and standing), give a sense of potential movement.

If I could change the outcome of the story, I would have allowed Laura and Jim O’Connor to get married. I would have made this change because then Amanda’s problem would have been solved, and Laura would have had financial support in the future. Another reason I would have made this change is because Jim O’Connor would have been the ideal man for Laura because he connected with her. He saw past her awkward fondness of a glass animal set. He also got Laura to take pride in herself.

Fate is the strongest force in our lives however fate is more of a destination rather than a guiding outline . This happens in Macbeth when the witches tell Macbeth he will be king, but do not say how he will become king. The actions we take to reach our fate are our own choice and no matter what we do will reach our fated end. In life, fate is often set in stone and the actions we take to reach our goals can sometimes differ from our expectations. The final destination, however, will be the same.

Destiny, also known as fate, is said to control the outcome of one's life. However, does destiny really determine what occurs in people’s lives on a daily basis or is it just a made up word to be used as an excuse when things don’t go as planned? The Truman Show is a 1998 film directed by Peter Weir that shows us that the decisions we make define our destiny rather than our destiny defining our decisions. Without knowing, Truman Burbank has been the star of a reality tv show since birth. Having no control of the events that happen in his life, Truman decides to get out of the town that seems to keep him hostage. Truman could have decided to let Christof, the creator of his world, keep him in Seahaven for the rest of his life, but Truman decided he wanted to live a life he created on his own. The idea that we control our own destiny and the outcome of our lives is shown throughout metafictional techniques such as a story within a story, a character aware he is a character and dramatic irony.

Living statues or live statues are referred to people who pose in a statue or mannequin-like of manner and appear to be realistic. Looking back to the history of live statues, it has been seen that this form of art has existed since the medieval and Renaissance times where live statues were a regular feature of festivities and royal entries by rulers during that era. The living statue has also been dated to appear in a scene of the 1945 French film, Les enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise). In the modern century, a German dancer Olga Desmond put on “Evenings of Beauty” (Schönheitsabende) in which she posed in imitation of classical works of art. Apart from that, Staticman, the well-known living statue personality with four world records, is also influential in today’s live statue art where he has organized many live statue festivals and teaches master classes for this art.

There is a reason we are born. The more important thing is how and when we realise it. We should be able to know the destiny of life until it’s too late. That last minute of life when you breathe your last breathe and realise you have lived your person ledge, you will leave this planet with a smile on your face with that happiness which you never felt in your whole life. There is a saying, "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." Yes, that invisible supernatural power will aid you to achieve it. It will plot your railway to the destiny. But that doesn’t mean you stay in your bed for all of your life and you will be there to your destiny. The reality is you should come on the field to combat every hardship that impedes you to be in your pursuit. With every courage and aplomb inside one should work hard. And most importantly losing hope should not be hobbling inside the

To choose your own future, destiny and life is very hard. Everyone wants to do something that makes them happy. But sometimes you take the wrong decisions or everything decides to go against you, which makes you stay in the box you were trying to escape from. When your dreams don’t get fulfilled, you will be in that box and wait for the light. It’s not always about what you want, but what you need. And to live a good life, and to do something productive, you have to work in a way that will make you happy, because that is what you need the most.
