137 Words1 Page

St helenas cathedral Amongst The best of cathedrals in the U.S and in the world, St Helenas Cathedral stands glorious and tall Above montana's capitol, despite wars, earthquakes and planes flying through the great spires. It is the christian pride of Montana. I personally have never been in any other cathedral, but from the pictures that i've seen, what St. Helena's Cathedral lacks in height, it certainly makes up for in Color and creative architecture. Built in 1908 under the supervision of Bishop John Carroll, the grand cathedral wasn't always as bright and colorful as I remarked earlier. With the stain glass windows that were buried somewhere in europe to escape ww2, the cathedral had lost its famous hue. The first mass was held on

  • Montag And Icarus Analysis

    124 Words  | 1 Pages

    Beatty compares Montag to Icarus because they both started to take off on their own. Beatty is comparing society to Icarus's father, and because Montag is starting to think there is something better out there, beyond flying where he has been told, he is heading for catastrophe. The comparison shows that Beatty thinks Montag is making foolish choices, that by reading books he will end up unhappy and with problems, in a way that can't be fixed, just like Icarus. In all, the comparison Beatty makes between Montag and Icarus is an effective way for Beatty to make his point clear: by reading and keeping books, Montag has set a course for disaster, parallel to Icarus when he neglected to follow his father's directions.

    773 Words  | 4 Pages

    The grand structure that resides in present day Germany was built in honor the Virgin Mary. The site was used for many important religious and public occasions, for example the king of Germany held his coronation in the Chapel.
