Juno’s pregnancy started her process of coming of age and showed how certain incidents start the process earlier then others. How the movie was constructed together by the leading each stage of Juno’s problems through the mood or tone of one of the four seasons, starting in fall, is parallel to how Juno blooms into the rebirth of new, mature person. Beginning in fall, Juno finds out that she is pregnant. The mood in fall is quiet and calm. Just like fall, Juno is also quiet about the whole incident. Instead of being open she went to the abortion clinic without anyone knowing to find more information about pregnancy. This also shows her immaturity due to her…
Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom, trade, the arts, medicine, and war. She most likely originated from the Etruscans, to whom she is known as Menvra and eventually was equated with the Greek goddess Athena. According to myths her birth was quite strange and unusual and although there is some speculation about exactly how she was born it is consistently told that she was born well, more like sprung out of Jupiter’s head. Jupiter the god the sky and lightning had mated with Metis a Titan goddess. However, a prophecy predicted that Metis’ children would become more powerful than the king of gods himself and out of fear to prevent the prophecy from coming true he swallowed her whole, but little did he know that she was already pregnant. The king of gods Jupiter was suffering from a severe headache and after a few knocks on his head Minerva jumped out fully grown and fully armed ready for battle. She was his favorite daughter and gave her the Aegis, a breastplate, the Insignia, a shield, and his lighting bolts as weapons.…

Minerva is a goddess in Roman history and literature. Most gods only have one thing to do, but this goddess has a lot on her mind. She's considered the virgin goddess of warriors, poetry, medicine, wisdom and learning, commerce, crafts and arts, spinning and weaving, and inventor of music. That's one tough job, considering most gods only have one department. Mars is the god of war, Neptune the god of the sea, etc.…
This argument analysis examines the article Recognise What? Problems with the campaign for constitutional recognition (Maddison, 2017). Published in the May/June issue of the Indigenous Law Bulletin, Maddison describes the process to recognise Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people of Australia in the constitution. The article explains this process through several accounts, resistance to the campaign and the role of the ‘Recognise’ campaign. Throughout the article, Maddison argues that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders should be recognised as the first people of Australia while acknowledging the problems with the campaign. The analysis will identify the main claims, evidence used to support these claims and the assumptions made by the author. Maddison uses several forms of evidence to support her 3 main claims and the underlying assumptions.…

The "death" in this situation isn't that of literal death but of a figurative death as a parent. Both divorce and death involving someone very important being cut out of someone else's life; abandoning them in one way or another. It is also safe to assume that Juno's mother is "dead to her" due to her describing her mother's new children as "replacement kids" and her "cactus-grams" having a sting "worse than [her] abandonment", therefore furthering the metaphor of death in Juno's life. Secondly, when being seated at the abortion clinic, Juno is a witness to the cacophony of fingernails surrounding her: "Then she looks over and notices the [fingernails] of a nearby teen, who looks as nervous as she does... Suddenly, she sees fingernails [everywhere]."(Cody 20) The purpose of an abortion clinic is to extract the unborn fetuses of soon to be mothers who do not wish to give birth. The extraction causes the fetus to die. Most people who…

Instead, they worshipped many gods and adopted gods from every part of their conquered world. Heavily influenced by Greek tradition, the Romans had a Pantheon consisting of Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Vesta, Ceres, Diana, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Vulcan and Apollo (these were replicants of the Greek Gods). This religion is thought to be the most commonly practiced throughout Pompeii and Herculaneum and this is evident by extravagant Temple of the Capitoline Triad or Temple of Jupiter in Pompeii (Source C). It was situated on the northern side of the Forum and was dedicated to the triad of the highest divinities of ancient times. The Gods included in the triad were, Jupiter, Juno and Minerva and are identified with Zeus, Hera and Athena of the Greek culture. They where projected as the protector of the state, the protector of women and the patroness of craftsmen. As the Roman society strongly believed that the Gods controlled everything, the population would have been drawn to this temple, as they believed their well-being and business would be protected and maintained. Through Roman (and initially Greek) influences, Religion played a major part in the lives of the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum as the population turned to them for guidance, protection and…
1. The three views of the relationship between faith and reason are inevitable conflict, independent, and overlapping. If you were to draw a diagram representing inevitable conflict it would just be one circle with both words written in it. Inevitable conflict says that faith and reason deal with the same reality in the same way, but make different claims. In this view one is right and one is wrong. To draw a picture of the independent view, it would be two separate circles, faith in one and reason in another. In this view faith and reason are about two different things. To put it in simplest terms, Bill Nye would not argue with a child about whether Santa is real or not because they do not have anything to do with each other.…
