They Might Be Giants

In my last post, I suggested that Jonathan Borofsky’s counting and keeping of a dream record might be seen in terms of ancient Jewish scribal practice, and that doing so provides a context for reading his later work with religious implications for our own day. In this post, I will consider his “Walking to the Sky” along these lines. “Walking to the Sky” was the third in a series after “Man Walking to the Sky” and “Woman Walking to the Sky.” Apparently, the idea for the first piece came from a story

If you have ever seen Finding Nemo you might remember when Marlin and Dory venture into the deep sea in their search for an address on a pair of goggles. As they dive into the deep they are entranced by a bright light in the darkness. Unfortunately, though, this light was attached to a hungry angler fish. Like most deep sea creatures the angler fish looks scary and strange, especially when compared to the animals that we are used to. Deep sea creatures may seem odd, but their appearances are there

m. Tuesday, and I want to go to bed. The victim is a young girl who is faced to the floor. Her name is Yunnik, and her occupation is a Corbon’s cashier. The evidence shows she has been hit on the cheek since a giant piece of skin has been ripped off her face. To the left of her was a giant couch and recliner, perfectly untouched. Then we get to the table, messy and full of junk food. Then there was me, a seventh grader who had the job to solve this perplexing case. Before we get any further with

Rat infestations have swarmed throughout the world, looking for food, and spreading diseases, so of course people attempt to get rid of them. First off, they spread disease. It states in Source 1, “Around 60% of the rodents carry Weil's disease...” This quote states that the majority of all rodents, have Weil’s disease. That means that if you see a rat, it is probably infected with disease. This is incredibly dangerous for people walking the street, or someone without a home. That person who does

from Pergamon, Turkey exemplifies that power. Created around 175 BCE it used to stand on a platform, surrounded by columns which were no doubt as imposing as the scenes of the sculptures. It is a narration of the gods and goddesses defeat over the giants, and victory in battle is nearly synonymous with power. The gigantomachy frieze depicts a scene in which Athena is holding Alkyoneos down in subjection by his head; while simultaneously being crowned by Nike. It is carved into marble, with immense

Another remarkable value panda withheld is its extraordinary cultural value. The two colors the panda has might be the two most extreme any species. It is black and white. Therefore the giant panda is said to be a physical manifestation of Yin-Yang due to its black and white spots. According to the Encyclopedia Britiannica, Yin-Yang is “the two complementary forces that make up all aspects and phenomena of life (“Yinyang”). Indeed panda set as the best example of demonstration of how Yin and Yang

Perception, Perspectives and Giants An individual’s perspective and perception become their reality. We spend so many hours of our lifetime attempting to prove to others that we are correct about certain points or principles; perhaps we have drawn conclusions based on limited information that is not always correct. Worldview, culture, religion, family and many other factors influence our lives and the way that we think and view things. In business, the best way to make decisions is a corporate

exit is that way!” “ Secret way at the park. Also call me Tzor.” We neared the park where we meet Tzor, and he set us down. It was weird seeing how tall he was from down here. He started to walk toward the corner where he was sitting and picked up a giant rock revealing a large crater in the ground. “ Down where Orcs won't find us.” “ Can we get out of town with it.” Baskin questioned. Tzor nodded, Bashkin shrugged and jumped in. “ It's only a few feet down. Send Cicad down and I'll charts her,”

the other two turn after turn. The first soldier encounters a giant and kills him but decides not to tell the second soldier. The second soldier encounter a giant too but decides not to tell the third soldier. The third soldier in his turn kills a giant and but instead of switching his turn he decides to explore more about the giants. Often, It is argued that the main reason the soldiers were dishonest about their encounters with the giants were was to avoid fright and flee for the next soldered. However

and its function was dependent on a crank that would have to be turned by a soldier to pull back the bow and load it. A hammer-like object would be used to knock off the holding pin, and then the crossbow would be fired. Leonardo’s sketch of the Giant Crossbow looks like a startling war weapon and many people believed it was capable of doing tremendous damage however, due to many inaccuracies it was able to perform in such
