William Shakespeare s Sonnet 60 - 1250 Words

Shakespeare’s sonnet 60 expresses the inevitable end that comes with time and uses this dark truth to express his hopefulness that his poetry will carry his beloved’s beauty and worth into the future in some way so that it may never die. This love poem is, as all sonnets are, fourteen lines. Three quatrains form these fourteen lines, and each quatrain consists of two lines. Furthermore, the last two lines that follow these quatrains are known as the couplet. This sonnet has the rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, as most Shakespearean sonnets follow. In each of the three quatrains, Shakespeare discusses a different idea. In this particular sonnet, the idea is how time continues to pass on, causing everything to die. The couplet connects these ideas to one central theme, this theme being Shakespeare’s hope for the beauty of his beloved’s immortality through his poetry’s continuation into future times. Shakespeare did not originally intend for his sonn ets to be published, therefore it is more likely that the sonnets where written for personal expression. This makes it extremely likely that Shakespeare is the speaker of this sonnet. With this information, it makes sense that the recipient of this poem is Shakespeare’s beloved, an unmentioned young man. Although this sonnet does not directly mention whom the individual mentioned in the last two lines is, it is believed to be a young man because sonnets 1- 126 were written to the young man.

Marble Sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons Essay Example For Students

Marble Sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons Essay The Roman figure called Marble Sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons, was made in late imperial, Gallienic, around 260 to 270 C. E as part of the Roman culture. The figure is a marble sculpture and is about 34 X 85 X 361/4 inches tall. As a result of the size, we can tell this piece might be supplementary relevant and important in Roman culture. Although the artist of this figure is unknown, it is known that it was created for a wealthy family. The sarcophagus is a typical example of Roman funerary art, which were usually created to commemorate the powerful person. At the Metropolitan Museum, Marble sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons   of art really stood out to me because it shows some kind of realism. Marble sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons   is a luxury created for a wealthy family. However, the massive size, expensive marble material, the use of 3D design and display of important imperial figures indicate otherwise. This essay will argue that there is always a social classification in our life, from ancient to modern; With social classification, the society is classified into different groups, the upper, middle and lower class. This piece was made for an important and wealthy family, which confirms the truth of only upper class group in ancient time could be able to own this sarcophagus as a symbol of taking gods of life into the afterlife. The figure symbolizes sarcophagus, which is known as a container or coffin for burying dead human bodies. In Roman culture, the production of sarcophagus was most commonly made in marble stone. During the late imperial period of Rome, marble was extremely expensive and rarely exclusive. When sarcophagus was built, marble had to be transported all the way from the Eastern Mediterranean to Rome. The materials used to complete such task were a hammer and a chisel, in order to carve the marble slowly and carefully into the sarcophagus. During the procedure, workers needed to be very careful and watchful to chip the marble, in order to form the human body shapes. After the chipping was done, it would first give a rough surface, however they would like to make the surface smooth. In order to make the marble smooth, the workers then used another stone called abrasion to transform the rough surface into a smooth piece of art. The abrasion, it also helped the marble to look more shining and figured. During Roman funerary traditions, they used burial as a form or action of placing the corpse of a dead person body in a tomb. Roman culture has turned the sarcophagus in funerals to a luxury symbol in the period. There is lot of detail carved into the piece, to form the humans clothing, to the body movement and the legendary elements. Sadly, at the back the figure has become rough and dark, however, the sides and front of the sarcophagus are distinctively decorated with forty human and animal figures. The color of the sarcophagus is just as the natural color of marble. When look at closely, the sarcophagus sort of highlights the four naked young men, which represent the four seasons in Roman culture. (Fig. 3) In Roman cultures, tombs and graves involved in the expectation of human soul of bringing the lifetime social status into the afterlife. As a result, the bigger the size of the sarcophagus indicates a higher status of the dead person. The realism of the figure reveals wonderfully in physical beauty of both the animal and human bodies in the figure, which clearly illustrates the scene of Roman culture. In the central figure (Fig. ), the God Dionysos is wearing a tunic, sitting on a panther with holding a weapon on one of his hands. .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 , .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .postImageUrl , .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 , .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82:hover , .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82:visited , .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82:active { border:0!important; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82:active , .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82 .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u2e16ae90a70d107d1f2acac68d272a82:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: History of Sculpture EssayIt might be little hard to recognize the god because he is overshadowed by figures. However, the king Dionysos still can be seen as superior, through his position and pose. Dionysos was the son of Zeus and Semele. He is the Greek god who is recognized as naughty and odd. He was keen on wine, and preferred to party and celebrate. Looking closely into the figure, there are four larger male figures who are standing on a parallel line, with the god Dionysos. The two at the sides, are facing the front, and the other two in the middle are facing the opposite direction with each other, holding a cup. These four figures represent the four Seasons, winter, spring, summer, and fall, in order from left to right (Fig. 5). Besides these five larger figures in the front, there are also other two large figures at the sides of the sarcophagus that also considered significant. One figure on the left side is a female, lying at the ground. The female is receiving fruits from the youth figure, while the other two male figures at her back are carrying fruits in their hands as well. The female figure is an identification of a Mother Earth  as a female god from thousands of years.

The worship of Mother Earth gives an indication about the cycle of human revolution. During the human revolution, the female earth god owns supreme power, which people worship Mother Earth  as a spiritual and cultural practice of dominant importance. On the right side is a male figure, with long hair and a beard lying at the ground. The man is also surrounded by two youth figures and two male figures, in the same position as the female figure. The male figure is an identification of a River-god . By the time, the River-god   was used as the name to refer to the river Nile. It is possible that the figures are considered as the two other additional seasons. The royal people in ancient times liked to crave gods or deities on their tomb as a representation of the lifetime status enable to show a dominant power. The seasons around illustrate the imperial power of the king, and the royalty. As a result, the object sarcophagus was considered as a luxury, for which only a very wealthy and powerful person would have been able to own it.

Why Iq Tests Dont Test Intelligence Essays (674 words) -

Why Iq Tests Don't Test Intelligence Psychology Why IQ tests don't test intelligence The task of trying to quantify a person's intelligence has been a goal of psychologists since before the beginning of this century. The Binet-Simon scales were first proposed in 1905 in Paris, France and various sorts of tests have been evolving ever since. One of the important questions that always comes up regarding these tools is what are the tests really measuring? Are they measuring a person's intelligence? Their ability to perform well on standardized tests? Or just some arbitrary quantity of the person's IQ? When examining the situations around which these tests are given and the content of the tests themselves, it becomes apparent that however useful the tests may be for standardizing a group's intellectual ability, they are not a good indicator of intelligence. To issue a truly standardized test, the testing environment should be the same for everyone involved. If anything has been learned from the psychology of perception, it is clear that a person's environment has a great deal to do with their cognitive abilities. Is the light flickering? Is the paint on the walls an unsettling shade? Is the temperature too hot or too cold? Is the chair uncomfortable? Or in the worst case, do they have an illness that day? To test a person's mind, it is necessary to utilize their body in the process. If everyone's body is placed in different conditions during the testing, how is it expected to get standardized results across all the subjects? Because of this assumption that everyone will perform equally independent of their environment, intelligence test scores are skewed and cannot be viewed as standardized, and definitely not as an example of a person's intelligence. It is obvious that a person's intelligence stems from a variety of traits. A few of these that are often tested are reading comprehension, vocabulary, and spatial relations. But this is not all that goes into it. What about physical intelligence, conversational intelligence, social intelligence, survival intelligence, and the slew of others that go into everyday life? Why are these important traits not figured into intelligence tests? Granted, normal standardized tests certainly get predictable results where academics are concerned, but they should not be considered good indicators of general intelligence because of the glaring omissions they make in the testing process. To really gauge a person's intelligence, it would be necessary to put them through a rigorous set of real-life trials and document their performance. Otherwise the standardized IQ tests of today are testing an extremely limited quality of a person's character that can hardly be referred to as intelligence. For the sake of brevity, I will quickly mention a few other common criticisms of modern IQ tests. They have no way to compensate for cultural differences. People use different methods to solve problems. People's reading strategies differ. Speed is not always the best way to tackle a problem. There is often too much emphasis placed on vocabulary. Each of these points warrants individual treatment, and for more information refer to The Triarchic Mind by RJ Sternberg (Penguin Books, 1988, p18-36). It is possible to classify all the reasons that IQ tests fail at their task into two main groups. The first grouping is where the tests assume too much. Examples of this flaw are the assumption that speed is always good, vocabulary is a good indicator of intelligence, and that different test taking environments won't affect the outcome. The second grouping comes because the tests gauge the wrong items. Examples of this are different culture groups being asked to take the same tests as everyone else, and the fact that the tests ignore so many types of intelligence (like physical, social, etc). These two groupings illustrate where the major failings of popular IQ tests occur and can be used as tools for judging others. IQ tests are not good indicators for a person's overall intelligence, but as their use has shown, they are extremely helpful in making predictions about how a person will perform in an academic setting. Perhaps the problem comes in the name intelligence tests when it is obvious this is not what they really are. The modern IQ test definitely has its applications in today's society but should be be used to quantify a person's overall intelligence by any means. Psychology Essays

Enigmas, Puzzles, and Riddles

Enigmas, Puzzles, and Riddles Enigmas, Puzzles, and Riddles Enigmas, Puzzles, and Riddles By Maeve Maddox On the day of the Iowa Caucus, pollster Ann Selzer made the following comment about Donald Trump: He’s just this riddle inside a puzzle. I immediately thought of Winston Churchill’s oft-repeated comment about Russia at the beginning of World War II: a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. I couldn’t help wondering if Ms. Selzer chose the word puzzle because she felt that the general American public in 2016 were less likely to understand the word enigma than a general British public in 1939. But, I’m probably being uncharitable. Puzzle is a valid synonym for enigma, although not nearly as classy. Enigma is from Latin aenigma, â€Å"a riddle or a mystery.† The Latin noun is from a Greek verb meaning, â€Å"to speak allusively or obscurely.† Riddle is a word inherited from German. In Old English, riddle was the usual English translation of Latin aenigma and referred to what modern speakers, especially children, mean by riddle: â€Å"a question or statement intentionally phrased to require ingenuity in ascertaining its answer or meaning. For example, â€Å"How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?† Puzzle is of unknown origin. Its earliest English use was as a verb meaning, â€Å"to cause a person to be at a loss what to do; to create difficulties for someone.† The verb came to have several meanings, including these: to cause someone to feel confused because they cannot understand something. to perplex or bewilder the brain. to be at a loss how to act or decide to search in a bewildered or perplexed way The noun puzzle is derived from the verb and means â€Å"a perplexing question or a difficult problem.† It can also signify â€Å"a person who is difficult to understand.† Note: Selzer’s remark referred not so much to the man, but to his apparently inexplicable popularity with â€Å"moderate and mainstream† Republicans as well as with extremists. English has numerous words to convey something that is baffling or mentally challenging. Here are some others: mystery conundrum paradox quandary brainteaser Most are near synonyms. All imply something baffling or challenging, but they carry different connotations. A mystery invites speculation. A conundrum, like a riddle, is often phrased as a question. The answer usually involves a play on words or a twist in thinking. For example: What is greater than God, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it, youll die? (Answer: Nothing) A paradox seems absurd, but in reality expresses a certain truth. For example, â€Å"Youth is wasted on the young.† A quandary is a state of extreme perplexity. A person or a group is said to be â€Å"in a quandary,† as in this headline from The Gaffney Ledger: â€Å"Council still in a quandary over healthcare insurance.† Of the three words in the title of this post, puzzle is most frequent in a Google search (296,000,000), riddle next (140,200,000), and enigma last (64,400,000). The figure for enigma is no doubt inflated because of the popularity of the word in the entertainment industry. References to the German â€Å"enigma machine† probably also account for some of the results. Want to improve your English in five minutes a day?

Augustines Tribute to his Mother Monica Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Augustines Tribute to his Mother Monica - Essay Example Augustine commented later in his life that, "to her merit, I think, I owe everything that is best in me. (Bonner, p.38) Monica has been raised in a Christian family with the traditional customs of the African Church. She was not, however, given a formal education. She was married to Patricius, who was not a Christian. And, as with her son, she prayed continually for her husband, and waited in silence, so that at "the end of his earthly existence" he converted to God. (Bourke, p.148) Monica's strict teachings about sin and faith inflicted a tormenting burden on her son rather than supplying inner peace. His Confessions witnesses to the painful struggle of faith that such an education promoted. However, Augustine never mentions his mother in any negative way. The commitment and love of Monica is valued as the basis of Augustine's faith. The simple teaching and model of Christianity, given to him in his youth would last a lifetime. Nevertheless, Monica's direct influence on her son continued only until he was shaken as a result of his intellectual experience through books. (Brown, p.31) Monica is more than just a doting housewife; rather, she is a "handmaid of God" whose pious living, prayer, and visionary zeal bring Augustine to a spiritual birth in his conversion. Monica belonged to Numidian society where culture provides no status to women and they play only a submissive role despite all their positivity and diligence. They were vulnerable to men's violence in routine. It was surprising for other women that Monica didn't have any scars or other signs of her husband's violence on her face or body. She explained them that her husband was also very strict but for past many years she had adopted the policy of silence and quiet obedience and finally been able to strengthen bond of love with her children by being submissive to her husband and gradually succeeded to convert them according to her will (Hunter, p. 63-85). This conventional thought of marriage was then inherited by Augustine also and he believed the relation of husband and wife sort of master and slave wh ich worsened women's status in the society. He even justifies men for practicing violence over their wives. According to him the sole purpose of marriages was procreation. (Stark, p. 57-58) Monica Compared with Rebekah of Genesis Rebekah is a godly character from Genesis, and possesses all the attributes of sacred women but if we analyze her character and compare it with that of Monica; we realize that she was not as submissive to her husband as Monica. She had lot of patience and was powerful enough to decide when to bow down before the husband's will and when to resist. She believed that as a Godly woman it was her duty to realize weaknesses of her husband and must pray to god to overcome them in addition to her own efforts. She also seems to be bold enough to face her husband as she motivated her son Jacob to go against his father. Whereas, having no ifs and buts, Monica was evidently submissive to her
