Scorpius Constellation: An Analysis
I have chosen the scorpius constellation, because it's one of my favorites, it's large and too bright, and what's on the sky now, replacing Orion. It looks like a real 's' on the sky. It has one of the most brightest star, called Antares.

The Scorpius constellation is one who makes part of the signs of zodiac (with virgo, taurus, etc.). Scorpio has a Greek myth who tells that 'this' scorpion was sent to kill Orion, it's commanded by Gaia, the Goddess of Earth, because was being arrogant - the reason was his powers -, but the scorpion was killed for Orion and it's being on the sky, trying to escape from Orion, who's immortalized for one constellation too.

All started with a little girl who wanted to know everything, curious, she has tried

    I have chosen the constellation Cassiopeia: The Seated Queen. I chose this constellation because it was an unknown constellation to me until I studied the first lesson of Astronomy. The name Cassiopeia: The Seated Queen sparked my interest, and so I decided to find more information about this fascinating constellation. Cassiopeia is located in the Northern sky and is easily recognizable by its distinctive "M" shape. It is made up of five stars, the four brightest of which are: Alpha Cassiopeia, Beta Cassiopeia, Gamma Cassiopeia, and Delta Cassiopeia. It is bordered by Andromeda to the south, Perseus to the southeast, and Cepheus to the north. It is opposite the Big Dipper.…

    My favorite animals are owls and wolves. So, when I found that there were no constellations of owls (there should be, though, in my opinion), I chose the constellation of the wolf, or Lupus. This constellation also reminds me of Professor Lupin, who was also my favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the Harry Potter books. I think that J. K. Rowling intended that to be, since Lupus means Wolf in Latin. Lupus can be found between the constellations of Centaurus and Scorpius. The Lupus constellation is home to some remains of a supernova, some globular clusters, and the Retina Nebula. It also contains two stars that have planets.…

    This brings a whole new meaning to the book as it portrays Grendel in each zodiac. The placement and the order of the zodiac also influences the story as time continues, slight hint of the next zodiac are shown in the chapters before. This shows us the progression of Grendel and his views on his cruel reality which he tries to deny. Grendel also is a symbol of all the zodiacs as he progressively molds all the traits of the zodiacs into one at the end which he is his most “monstrous”.The end of the book also comes with the end of the astrological order which can be interpreted as the world has a set order and not abiding by the order creates chaos as we seen in…

    Ovid’s “The Story of Daedalus and Icarus” and Aristotle’s “On Happiness,” each devise and apply the Aristotelian mean to maintain the concept that one must keep a balance between two excesses in life so that humanity can avoid ultimate disaster, because Aristotle says we are a product of our parents, and if they fail, we will most likely follow in their footsteps. In Aristotle’s “On Happiness,” Aristotle analyzes the Aristotelian mean and about how we must keep a balance between two extremes in our life. In “The Story Daedalus and Icarus,” Daedalus tells Icarus to fly in the middle, not too low or too high, obviously a reference to the Aristotelian mean.…
