Compare And Contrast The Images Of The Second Towers
The images have a lot of similarities and differences. Some similarities are that all of the images have state abbreviations on them. The columns are representing states. There are at least five towers or statues in each image, standing together as a group. In all of the images, the towers are leaning on each other. That means that they are depending on each other.

In the first image, one tower fell over and smoke was coming off the top. In the second one, the second tower had also fallen over. That can symbolize that the towers are leaning on each other and if one falls, the others will be affected. In the last image it the text says that if the foundation is strong then it can be saved. That means that if the country is fair and has a strong

    The Ashurnasirpal II’s palace, now called the Northwest palace, was built and finished in 879 BCE at Nimrud, located in today’s northern Iraq. It was dedicated to serve as the daily living place as well as the palace to meet with ministers for the king. Ashurnasirpal II chose Nimrud, the ancient Khahu, to be the capital and then built a series of fortified citadels around it.1 And it was on the citadel the Ashurnasirpal II built the magnificent Northwest Palace. The palace stood out not only for its stable periphery but also for its first use of the carved stone panels in gypsum, called orthostats, with which the builders lined the interior lower walls. Both reliefs, Ashurnasirpal II and a Winged Deity and Deity Performing Ritual Purification were from those slabs in the King’s living room of the great Northwest Palace.…

    The first one I’m going to be talking about is called “Statue of Venus (the Mazarin Venus),” the artist is unknown; it’s located in Rome, Italy and dated on A.D. 100-200. Its size is human size approximation 6’ 3” high. The texture looked smooth, but with some toughness, its color to me looked beige, the shape is of a woman holding a blanket or towel to cover herself by her side she has a dolphin and the medium is made of marble. Some information I found of this statue is that her name is “Aphrodite” (Venus), the daughter of Zeus and Dione. “She is the goddess of love and beauty. In one version of her myth, she was born from the foam (aphros in Greek) of the sea” (107). “Venus, the goddess of love, stands nude, grasping a piece of cloth around her hips. The dolphin at her feet supports the figure and alludes to the goddess’s birth from the sea” (Getty Museum). The period of the statue is a Roman. “It was discovered in Rome, where it contributed to the Renaissance revival of the Classical tradition” (Getty Museum). The geographical origin is in Rome. “For the Romans, Venus (Aphrodite to the Greeks) played an important role in the epic tales of the Trojan…

    From a distance the tall structures blur together to form hard geometric lines and shapes. While the subject views the park from directly above, towards the outer edges, the buildings angle slightly to their respective boundaries. The structures almost seem to form a wave as they appear to increase in height as you look from left to right creating a sense of movement the photo. The bursting height of the taller structures allows them to cast shadows that aren’t as prevalent in the rest of the image. The urban landscape blends together in various shades of blue, red, and grey. The left and right edges are slightly bluer in tint while the upper and lower portions appear to have a rusty colour. There are hints of foliage towards the upper and lower left-hand side of the image, but unlike the park, are dwarfed by the expanse of the buildings that surround it. The omniscient view of the cityscape allows a unique perspective of this famous…

    For the subject of my final paper I have chosen Champs de Mars: The Red Tower by Robert Delaunay, 1911 (Figure 1). I was initially attracted to the piece because it reminded me of a stain glass window. Delaunay’s command of bold color in the center of the piece makes it seem as if light is streaming through the painting from behind the canvas. The stain glass affect is intensified by the stylization of the Eiffel Tower. I was interested in what properties of the painting caused me to view the painting in such away. Why the application of the colors made it seem as if the painting was being illuminated from behind?…

    Devils Tower is 867-foot-tall butte located in the northeastern corner of Wyoming. The enormous wonder of nature is believed to be roughly 50 million years old. The tower became the United States’ first national monument on September 24,1906 during the Theodore Roosevelt Administration. Recently, spiritual leaders of the Lakota, the Cheyenne, and several other Native American tribes of the plains, because of their strong spiritual ties to the monument, have asked the United States and its officials to consider changing the name of Devils Tower; Unfortunately for the multiple tribes, the United States is, unless implored by its citizens, notorious for rejecting the wishes of the native people in favor of…

    The 9/11 attack was a tragedy in the United States. There were two planes with terrorists inside. The twin towers were unprepared as the planes flew into both of the twin towers. The outside world devastated as nearly three thousand people died. The building had toppled and the fire that burned helped the incendiaries in their mission to kill as many as possible, because the fire trapped and cornered the employees in the paramount edifice with no way to exit. This depredation would change the United States of America forever. In the rebuilding process of Ground Zero, Tower one represents healing, hope, and those that had died.…

    The idea of a fog like shield is used to show that the increase production of waste is hiding us from the true reality of our actions. The smoke is seen to be unceasing and never ending which is in contrast to the world which is unsustainable and fragile. Gray tries to show the human attitude which is also portrayed through the mouse clicking on the ignore button which depicts that we choose to ignore the consequences The smoke in the line “Now the distant buildings are stencilled d in the smoke” acts as a barrier between us and the harsh actuality of our world. The technique of stencilling and only seeing the rough outline is symbolic of our impassiveness to the fine implications of our actions, just concerned about the immediate gains for ourselves. Not seeing the full picture is represented in the image of a book with words carved out of it…

    In both scenes, the artists use rocks to shift the perspective from the water to the land. In the Column of Trajan stones are rough, grouped together, and poorly defined in order to break the scene, while in Marcus Aurelius’ depiction, the rocks are highly defined and deeply carved and the stones appear almost as individual rocks. The stones provide a natural transition to the buildings above, which are also in exactly the same in layout on both versions. In the Column of Trajan, the buildings are carved from relief so shallow that the buildings appear two dimensional. Perspective is given in the sharp corners of the buildings that appear almost as if drawn on the stone.…

    French writer Guy de Maupassant would eat lunch at the Eiffel Tower’s restaurant out of pure necessity, because as he often remarked, “it’s the only place in Paris where I don’t have to see [the Eiffel Tower]” (Barthes 3). Wherever you are in Paris, whatever the weather, the Tower is always there; the only spot in Paris blind to the Tower is the Tower itself. The Eiffel Tower is constantly seeing all of Paris, and in return, being seen by all of Paris. Robert Delaunay’s piece “Champs de Mars: The Red Tower” (Figure 1.) was painted in celebration of the Eiffel Tower’s structure as an engineering and architectural miracle as well as a symbol of modernity in the nineteenth and twentieth…

    The Gift of Valor is the story of an ordinary young American, Marine Corporal Jason Dunham, who was mortally, wounded shielding his fellow Marines from a grenade. Dunham grew up in a working-class family in a small town in upstate New York. An indifferent student but an outstanding athlete, Dunham joined the Marine Corps right out of high school. The Marines fit him well, and he rose to the rank of Corporal by the time his unit -- 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment -- was alerted for deployment to Iraq in late 2003. Jason quietly extended his enlistment so that he could remain with the unit throughout its deployment.…
