Daphnis

Daphnis and Chloe begins with and because of the narrator hunting, and the narrative of Daphnis and Chloe themselves begins with animals. Animals are the consistent aspect of a story that contains no absolutes: good characters do bad things, bad characters do good things. The only absolute presented is the beauty, power, and virtue of animals, through which they influence titular characters’ kind nature thereby differentiating them from their morally confused counterparts, inspire people to be better

Though love, sexuality, and social status are sometimes closely linked in literature, both Plato’s Symposium and Longus’s Daphnis and Chloe address these two concepts individually and independently. Through speeches and dialogues, Symposium takes a more direct approach to these concepts, often tackling these issues through specific discourse and relating them to everyday life. Daphnis and Chloe on the other hand, attacks these issues through storytelling. Compared to the speeches and dialogues in Symposium

One reason suggesting Chloe’s guilt in Max Power’s murder is her compelling motive for the crime. First, Chloe had a financial motive for murdering Max Powers. According to the Preliminary Report, Max inherited “a net worth of 12.4 million” and the suspects [Ray, Chloe, Dez and Beverly] were “all named equally in his will” (Preliminary Report). As one of the four inheritors of Max’s will, Chloe would receive $3.1 million dollars in the event of the millionaire’s death. Although Chloe’s financial

prologue of Longus’ Daphnis and Chloe exemplifies the usage of ekphrasis common in Greek prose writings of the second century A.D., and how this inspired his romantic story. In this passage, Longus vividly describes a painting he stumbled upon in Lesbos featuring a myriad of scenes and reveals that Daphnis and Chloe was inspired by this particular painting due to its aesthetic nature. Each aspect of the painting corresponds to the particular events that transpires in Daphnis’ and Chloe’s quest to

perspectives, and art styles. Each piece holds their own story within the composition, style, and craftsmanship. I picked two different artworks the painting Tricoteuse (The Knitter) by the French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau, and the painting Daphnis and Chole by the American painter Elizabeth Jane Gardner. Bouguereau’s painting of the knitter was of a young girl in the Middle Eastern time period. This piece was painted in 1879. This painting was made from oil on canvas. There were several different

Daphnia are minute crustaceans and they live in fresh and salt water all around the world (these daphnia’s will be sourced from fresh-water). Daphnia’s are arthropods, which means they belong to the family, which includes crustaceans and insects. They usually reach a maximum of 0.5 millimeters. Although daphnia’s are very small, they are vital to the cleanliness of their environment, as they filter the water by consuming bacteria. Scientists often use daphnia’s in experiments to gain more information

apparent sanity. In Longus’ work, love is described as having similar traits. Throughout the story of Daphnis and Chloe’s pastoral romance, love drives both of them mad with longing. Love amplifies their innocent feelings for each other, resulting in a disorienting combination of depression and mania. The affliction goes deeper; their total devotion to each other and pastoral

Ballet is a style of theatrical dancing that was developed in France during the 17th century, and it became classical in the 19th. Ballet also describes a theatrical spectacle, which its use can be dated back to the Middle Ages. Ballet could include singing or dancing. It was institutionalized in France in 1672 with the formation of the permanent dance troupe Academie Royale de Musique, known today as the Paris Opera (Sadie 565). Ballet has been closely related to opera for much of its history. The

ENTRY: STILL NEED TO WORK ON/7 HABITS OF MIND (CAPACITY FOR SUSTAINED, FOCUSED ATTENTION)/PROGRESS Tutorials necessitate that I begin work on assignments far earlier and make more progress than I normally would if I was not required to do so. I work best under pressure, so I usually do not begin assignments until immediately before they are due. I am thankful for tutorials for forcing me to change my behavior in some ways, yet I am still fundamentally the same: I don’t begin my work for tutorials

A Stellar Swan Song Cassini is locked in a death dance with Saturn, yet it's revolutionizing our knowledge of not just the ringed planet, but moons like Titan, which, since the deployment of the Huygens lander, hints at what Earth may have been like very early in its primordial life. The nuclear-powered spacecraft's four-year foray in Saturnian orbit began in 2004, and filled our screens with the majesty of Saturn's clouds and signature rings. It also studied the moons Enceladus, a frozen body
