I chose to write about “Departure of the Volunteers of 1972” (The Marseillaise) by François Rude and “Eve” by Auguste Rodin. Rude’s sculpture appealed to me immediately‚ it is extremely rich in detail as well as drama. It is a very tumultuous and aggressive looking sculpture; Bellona the Roman goddess of war is leading the French into battle. The goddess in particular is my favorite part‚ the artist does a great job of making her look ethereal. The wings‚ robe‚ crown‚ and stance all exemplify

Q. In what way is Antony and Cleopatra a departure from classical tragedy? The term tragedy is usually applied to literary‚ and especially to dramatic‚ representations of serious actions which eventually end in a disastrous conclusion for the protagonist. Precise and detailed discussions of the tragic form begin and as M.H. Abrams clearly points out; they should not end with Aristotle’s classic analysis in his 4th century work Poetics wherein he defined tragedy as “the imitation of an action

Mrs Moore’s departure from India gives insight to the complexity of the experience she had within the Marabar caves. She appears to want to experience something other than anything she had ever experienced before‚ yet she was not able to fully comprehend what happened to her. Instead of enlightenment she encounters feelings of apathy and confusion‚ as her world view that had been carefully constructed for her through the teachings of her religion and the society she is a part of was suddenly brought

In her poem “Circe‚ After his Departure‚” Sewell’s diction characterizes Circe’s desire as a feeling that occurs internally rather than directly relating to Odysseus. Several of Sewell’s specific word choices repudiate the concept that Circe is passionately yearning for Odysseus. Sewell describes that Circe “still thinks of him‚/ still gazes idly out at a horizon on which no vague blur/or bright spot [...] appears” (2-4). Sewell’s choice of the word “idly” (3) contradicts the intense emotional attachment

To what extent was the United States Constitution a radical departure from the Articles of Confederation? The Articles of Confederation was written in 1777 and became operational in 1781. It put an emphasis on state rights. Without an executive branch or judicial branch the central government was run by a Congress.

Is teenage life now‚ a continuation or a change in that of the 1950’s-1960’s? By: Alex Teenagers have behaved in similar patterns for decades. Whether teens have changed their behaviour and habits from the 50’s and 60’s to now‚ or they simply continued their patterns‚ is a questionable subject. In my opinion‚ teenage life right now is just a continuation of teenage life in the 50’s and 60’s. This is a fact because: teens still have similar styles‚ teens still face the same problems‚ and their

The cold harsh winds of the winter whistled through the ranch. Nothing moved‚ the grounds lay bare the only sign of life was an illuminated window on the far side of the silent ranch. The light came from a small wooden shack; the shack appeared newer than the rest of the weather worn buildings‚ it also looked better cared for than the other buildings. Next to the shack was a small garden and in it were gravestones. Two were lined side by side‚ but another sat lonely in the corner of the garden. The
