Jordan Sudduth Professor Mahle THE 2000 Online 25 January 2016 Assignment #1 - Chapter #2 Greek Theatre 1. Who is the god of wine, fertility, and revelry? Dionysus is the god of wine, fertility, and revelry. 2. What does DEUS EX MACHINA mean? DEUS EX MACHINA translates to "God out of a machine." 3. What is THESPIS most noted for? Thespis is most noted for his act of leaving the chorus, jumping on the alter, and assuming the role of the god. He was the first playwright, and

1. What is “metaphysico-theologo-cosmolo-nigology”? Pangloss teaches metaphysico-theologo-cosmolonigology. Pangloss states that the world is the best of all possible worlds in which all is well and all is for the best. Voltaire writes “He could prove that there is no effect without a cause; and, that in this best of all possible worlds, the Baron’s castle was the most magnificent of all castles, and My Lady the best of all possible baronesses.” Voltaire is using satire of his made up profession.

In John Paul II’s encyclical letter, Redemptor Hominis, the pope states in his first few words that Christ is the redeemer of man, “THE REDEEMER OF MAN, Jesus Christ, is the centre of the universe and of history.” (Redemptor Hominis, 1). But what could John Paul II mean by this? We know from the Bible that God sent Jesus Christ to earth to save man from sin. In order to be saved from sin, one must understand the ‘truth’. The truth is the way of God. The truth sets mankind free from sin and allows

The modern movie theater audience loves glamourized violence. We want something that takes us out of our mundane lives and throws us into this fantastic, “bad-ass” scene. We seem to be seeking to fulfill some imaginative dream, one that has been conveyed in Hollywood classics for generations. You have Bonnie and Clyde, who made killing a lustful and sexy endeavor, and James Bond who gives an immaculate style and class to the gunshot. When director Fernando Meirelles fills the scenes of City of God

There are two books that I have read for pleasure within the last year that explicitly stand out. The first book being Zealot by Reza Aslan which delves into the differences and contradictions between Jesus Christ and Jesus of Nazareth. It is written from a scholarly standpoint that is absent of any religious bias, strictly laying out the facts and allowing the reader to come to their own conclusions. The next book being Misery by Stephen King, which is arguably his best work. The suspense in every

Robber Barons were the stage masters in the shift from transcendentalism into progressivism. Scene. The film starts with a generous grant from Andrew Carnegie then transforms into humble means with the common transcendentalist tenets. God by showing the Church, Men with the graves and linage, and nature with it’s rolling green hills. Enter antagonist; the black behemoth sits upon its iron throne as it transcendents the brick chimneys and rains down soot on its subjects. This is not the transcendent

Human Enhancement: The Questionable Evolution for Humanity I have chosen human enhancement as my main ethics discussion, particularly the prosthetic limbs side of human enhancement. Mechanical prosthetic limbs have been around since World War I time (The Conversation, para 3). As we all know prosthetic limbs are meant to replace either a disability/cut off arm or leg. The goal of that prosthetic arm or leg is for the individual to be able to perform everyday activities as she/he would with a normal

Justice in Tartuffe” examines the all-powerful king’s theatrical resolution of the story of “Tartuffe”. Zwillenberg writes “It is so unexpected as to cast doubt upon the dramatic coherence of the entire comedy” (583). Zwillenberg concludes that the “deus ex machina” (583) ending not only brings closure to the stories of Orgon and Tartuffe, but also restores the comedic equilibrium that is upset by Tartuffe throughout the play. I agree in full with Myrna Kogan Zwillenberg’s assertion that the conclusion

could happen and do happen. The stories make us feel uneasy and that's part of what Hughes is trying to do. The characters in the tales of Ovid experience such impossible emotions that the only way for Hughes to finish the story is through twist on Deus ex Machina, Transformation ex Machina. (Clarify with footnote) The best way to understand Hughes' work is to try as much as possible to feel what the characters are feeling. This is not a new idea. The best way to experience a story is to place

“An Untamed State” by Roxane Gay is a contemporary novel that deals with third world countries and their issues. In the story a family is ambushed at gunpoint in Haiti. The wife ends up being kidnapped and being held ransom. While these conflicts unfold the reader is faced with multiple internal conflicts about the author’s choices and the choices that the characters make. In today’s world people tend to very sheltered. We try to unnecessarily protect people especially the youth by censoring what
