Godspell is a musical that mainly focuses on Jesus’s teachings, and how the messages of those lessons have the power to take hold of individuals that are divided and unite them to form one community. John-Michael Tebelek, who conceived and wrote the original script for Godspell, intended to dramatize the process by which people are drawn to the love and grace of God. The playwrights also aimed to reinvent the teachings of Jesus so that they could be understood in contemporary terms. By using modern techniques, like incorporating comedy, for example, the audience finds themselves immersed in the exchanged between Jesus and His disciples and can fully comprehend the lessons of the parables that Jesus tells. Just as Christ tried to teach complex
The article states that the Greeks could not use the burning mirror and provide three reason of supports. On the other hand, the professor refutes all of the passage reasons and declines this issue that Greek’s soldiers could use this instrument to defend themselves. First, the passage claims that ancient Greeks were not advanced to invent this war instrument. In contrast, the professor say the Greek’s people could fabricate an enormous parabolic curvature mirror by many small mirrors assembling and made it elaborately.
In Kenneth Branaugh’s version of act 3: scene 1, Hamlet is seen standing in front of a mirror. In this portrayal, the mirror represents an appearance of a false reality as it acts as a distorted depiction of something that is not actually real. Throughout the scene, the only visual image that the audience is allowed of Hamlet is that of the illustration of his reflection in the mirror. Hamlet is aware that Claudius is spying on him, and takes this into account throughout the progression of the soliloquy. This image that is depicted of Hamlet represents an act that he is portraying to hoax everyone into believing a false appearance.
Introduction In Ronald Takaki’s book, A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America, Takaki argues that despite the first slave codes emerged in the 1660’s, de facto slavery had already existed and provides evidence to support this claim. While he provides a range of data, these facts can be categorized in three groups: racial, economic, and historical. These groups served as precursors to what eventually led to slavery codes to be enacted and the beginning of one of the darkest chapters in American History. Racial
Ronald Takaki a renowned pioneer in the field of ethnic studies has over the years authored numerous books on diversity in American society. As a grandson of Japanese immigrants who became the first black studies professor at UCLA, Takaki for many years has continually tried to bridge cultures and ethnic groups in the United States. In his book “A different mirror: A history of multicultural America”, Takaki addresses the idea of multiculturalism in our society, and also talks about how for many years we have been told to acknowledge the notions that the core principles of our nation uprooted only from one group rather than a contribution from other various cultures as well. The ‘master narrative’ posed by Takaki describes the growing
In the following passage from the book, Mirror for Man, Clyde Kluckhohn explains the concept of culture and how it shapes many of our behaviors. People behave in certain ways because that is how they were brought up into this world. Kluckhohn stated that the role of culture can predict and understand human behavior. He then explains how these acts are are not due to accidental, personal peculiarities, or supernatural force. Many Americans “follow most of the time a pattern not of our own making.”
Ancient Greece Drinking Vessels, found in ancient greece during the era of 900B.C- 700 B.C, were known to be used as drinking vessels; the primary use of ancient drinking vessels was to drink from them with substances such as wine and water. In addition, ancient Greek drinking vessels were used to furnish the graves of the dead to honor them; many of the graves have the vessels with flowers in them. In modern time, America doesn’t use the glasses they drink out of as vases for the dead, but they do use vases made on the graves to put flowers in. In fact, the Greece vessels were also used as decoration because of their geometric designs; they are often displayed in museums because of their beauty. In modern day, water is drunk from cups and

Ancient Greek ships and weapons were modified to be of the utmost use to the Greek sailors and warriors. The Greeks’ earliest warship was a pentekontor which had twenty-five oarsmen on each extensive side. The ship was designed with a narrow width, so it went faster when it was attacking enemy ships. Ancient Greek carpenters managed to increase the speed even more by adding the improvement of more oars and oarsmen. Another addition to the original ship was a ram which was a pointed bronze portion on the front of the warship that was intended to strike and fracture enemy ships.
Carter’s “The Bloody Chamber” has feminist undertones. Possibly, to show the male and female relationship dynamic in a patriarchal society. Within the text, mirrors are used as a tool to examine the female from all angles. While the placement of mirrors in the bedroom exhibit the power and dominance the Marquis has over the narrator, they also allow the narrator to witness not only her position as a female but also the degradation of herself. Furthermore, Carter uses these mirrors as a symbol for a mans objectifying eye.
Questions like these will be explained along with the addition of the statue in the textbook. The inclusion of the Statue of Zeus at Olympia will be a huge contribution to the book.

Compared to other types of pottery, this was a relatively low temperature to fire it at. This explains the softness of most Greek pottery. Whatever piece of pottery that was being made, was fired multiple times. The first time firing it would be fired in a oxidising fire with good ventilation in order for the clay to fore. The second time firing would be fired in a kiln deprived of oxygen by adding damp wood or water inside the kiln.
The difficulties that surround reproducing the traditions and customs from ancient Greece are well known. This is especially prominent when looking for information within fictional works from that time period. One is always burdened with uncovering truths without being distracted by false aspects. That is not to say that these fictional works are useless for those studying ancient history. Through the poetry written by Homer and Hesiod, people today are able to glimpse into the agricultural practices and interpersonal relations of one living in ancient Greece in a way that no other source of historical information allows.

Monuments Men is a fairly recent film with the premise of a group of soldiers during World War II tasked with protecting the artwork within the continental Europe from those who want to take it. It primarily centers on the story of Frank Stokes, played by George Clooney, and how he is able to assemble a ragtag group of “soldiers” and actually enter the frontlines. Over the course of the story, the group loses a few members, but do manage to discover the stashes of art hidden by Hitler and save it from destruction, including the Ghent Altarpiece and the Lady Madonna. Despite having already watched this movie, is still struck me how much the movie’s message still resonated with me. The movie makes a clear case for the value of art, and I feel
