This past week white wooden crosses, created by retired Nevada carpenter Greg Zanis, were put in a row in front of the Las Vegas sign. He made them to bring remembrance to the people who died at the country concert. Greg Zanis said "This row of crosses will show the severity of what really happened there," ..."More so than numbers and pictures in the paper." Zanis has also done this for other events such as the Orlando, Columbine school, and Colorado theater shooting. What Greg Zanis is doing is showing awareness of a big event that happened. His memorial crosses that he made will have more of an effect than what a tweet or pictures in the paper could ever make. We read things in the papers or see in online and think to ourselves ¨oh wow
Today is the day, I, Matthew Roach, ride Mystic Timbers at Kings Island. I am riding with my father, Steve, and my sister, Abby. Abby and I notice fake security cameras on a television. We recognize the footage on the TVs as Slenderman, which is a horror game. We have been waiting in line for about the past 15 minutes and finally it is our turn. We get in the train and wait for the ride to start. The people monitoring the Mystic Timbers yell “ALL CLEAR” and the ride began. The wooden track was rough and the train was going 60-70 miles per hour. I only had one question, what was in the shed. The train starts to slow down as we approach the shed. As we approach the shed I see it, weapons. All of the sudden, we stop and I wonder, “What happens
Many attribute the Union’s defense of Little Round Top during The Battle of Gettysburg to Chamberlain, a colonel in the 20th Maine Infantry and defended Little Round Top. It may be true that Chamberlain played an important role in defending Little Round Top, nevertheless all the credit should not go to him. Gouverneur K. Warren should be considered a bona fide key player to the success at Little Round Top, because of his ability to realize the Union’s weak point and form a strong defense in time to fight off the Confederates. If it were not for Warren the Confederates, from the words of Robert McNamara “could have overrun the left flank of the entire Union Army, and possibly won the battle and conceivably the entire Civil War” (1).

Also, for eighty years, Belleau Wood has been the source of a number of disputes and controversies. Some writers, like Historian/Novelist Thomas Fleming, feel the battle should have never been fought, that American commanders should have seen the predictable outcome given the bloody results of similar assaults against other densely wooded patches on the Somme and in the Ypres Salient. Thus, the American generals should have resisted French orders to mount the attack. When the fight was still being waged, Army regulars began resenting the way the Marine Corps circumvented AEF news management to get their story told while the contributions of army units at Chateau-Thierry were unreported. Thus, military historians have put the tactics and methods applied at Belleau Wood under a very strong microscope. But also, there is considerable criticism laid at the feet of 4th Brigade Commander James Harbord, a Pershing favorite from the Army, for his lack of appreciation for the need to apply concentrated artillery fire to the task of clearing the wood and his piecemeal
Cedar fencing can withstand all kinds of weather without applying any sort of paint or finish to the material. Many homeowners still prefer the look of a painted fence to one that looks natural though. If you are afraid of losing the cedar’s beautiful grain by hiding it with paint, whitewashing is a viable alternative. It’s a job that can be done over the weekend, or even quicker with the help of family or friends.

Though both photographs have a lot to say, a viewer my not know why the memorial means so much to the individual in the image. Looking at the photograph one can begin to draw conclusions, but the story behind each picture truly has more meaning than imaginable. The photograph, A Man Kneels before the 9/11 Memorial, displays a man named Robert Peraza, who is touching the name of his son upon the 9/11 memorial. His son, Robert David Peraza, passed during the 9/11 attacks after American Airlines flight 11 struck the North Tower. Ten years later and the grief still takes over Peraza; he touched his son's name and lowered his head while falling to his knees. Bearing a shirt with his son on the front, Mr.
This artifact permits the audience to visualize how names are made for our appeasement. The several names and nicknames for Jesus Christ, allow us to see how we put forth several identities to one individual. Cultures throughout our civilization have established several contrasting religions. For years we had argued for the identity of the genuine holy one. Atrocious battles and conflicts have taken place, and continue to take place. Incidents such as the 9/11 bombing are solely based on our different perceptions of what we believe God is. Society has been appalled by these occurrences, and we struggle to find a resolution to this problem. Our society yields to see that everything starts little and gradually blossoms to mass termination. This
My perception and interpretation of GhostFood have undoubtedly evolved more times than I can count. Participating in public art and engaging with strangers from various backgrounds has been a bizarre, risky, yet enlightening experience that I have found academically enriching and personally impactful. The very strangeness of GhostFood has thrusted me into the culturally colorful, yet much to be explored and understood Baltimore.
I believe Dali uses the cross in order to represent how in many situations, especially ones of social nature, it can be hard to reach out to people and interact with them. In these types of situations it can almost feel as if something is holding you back, that's why Dali uses the cross to symbolize the harsh force of being unable to break free and move forward. One of the main reasons I think Dali decided to use religious imagery to illustrate this feeling, is because this type of feeling can almost manifest itself as an outer force controlling your actions. Humans would rather spare the possibility of someone making them feel rejection, distress, or someone hurting their ego and would rather isolate themselves in their own illusory, protective, womb-like world where they know they can't get hurt. Dali is showing that he desperately wants to break free of this habit, but this almost divine force is holding him back.
The background consists of clear blue sky wide view of open landscape and a man kneeing in the front of the cross in the middle dressed in all black adding a pair of white shoes in front of the cross. Much like Contreras’s image, this photograph illustrates the same message. However rather than showing a father and son reconnecting after 13 years, this image shows priests’ loft shoes worn by migrants the site along the United States Mexico border. Differing from Contreras photograph Yardley’s image only shows how dangerous the journey from Mexico to the United States is. Everything else in this picture is filled with color except for the man and the gravesite since the image is focused on the center to show what loves once have to go through if they lose their family member while still on the journey. The article that the image is paired with is titled, “Pope Francis Wades into U.S. Immigration Morass with Border Trip” explains Pope Francis speaking out about immigration. Like Contreras, the focus of this photograph in Yardley’s article consists of all the tombstones. The crosses have horses with people riding on top of them. There are miniature trees already the tombstones. There is man in all black kneeling in front of the cross in the middle. It looks like is adding new shoes in front the cross. Most of the people the people the people that travel through the Jacumba
This method of fundraising increased his opportunities for worldwide reach. For example, to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday, a global text message campaign was orchestrated to allow people around the world to wish Mr. Mandela a happy birthday and donate to his cause. Their messages appeared onscreen at a fundraising concert, with a portion of the proceeds going to help fund an HIV/AIDS cure. “More than 100,000 text messages from twenty-eight countries were received and posted at the concert (Sybase). “Messages eventually came in from virtually every country on earth” through message services or the organization’s website (Sybase). As a result, more than $150,000 was raised to directly support activities to fight HIV/AIDS, and Mandela became even more internationally known. This supports Mandela’s case for being a cultural icon because the more he attained worldwide recognition; the more he was seen as a significant representative of his culture.
How to get nice clean white shoes with using everyday household products? First, you take out your shoe strings out and soak them into bleach for an hour, then wash and dry they. Second, find an old tooth brush. Third, mix water and dish detergent, then apply it to the shoe with the tooth brush. Last, let your shoes dry in the sun. The shoes should be dry in 5 hours, so you put the laces back in and you have nice clean white shoes.
