    Sorcha Brooks Stephen Germic First-Year Writing September 2012 An Analysis of Spotted Horses and Human Hands The art in the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras is some of the oldest known in human history, and has been found in Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. Archaeologists have found wall paintings, carvings, sculptures, and tools. Authors Joseph Campbell and Karen Armstrong discuss mythic iconography in art from these periods, however, these articles offer limited interpretation of specific works of art. “Spotted Horses and Human Hands” is a cave painting on limestone found in the PechMerle cave. The horses are thought to have been painted in 25,000-24,000 BCE, and the hands around 15,000 BCE. “The head of the horse (on the right) follows the natural shape of the rock. Black dots surround areas of both horses and cover their bodies” (Stokstad, Cothren 1). To paint the main lines, artists could have “blown” the paint along the wall using their hands and arms as guidelines. The spots could have been made using a hole punched out of a piece of leather as a stencil. The horse was central to myth in the upper Paleolithic. But why the horse? Why not the more ferocious bear? The choice could have been a variety of factors. Aside from being visually appealing, the horse was not a threat to the people. The horse could be tamed, approached, and handled at virtually any age. Even if the evidence for riding horses is weak, the Paleolithic people could have seen the horse as a symbol of fertility. The mare, much more manageable than…

    A complicated novel will often include many characters, one central plot, and numerous sub-plots. Pattern recognition allows us to see the relationships between character, actions, and ideas. A time when symbolism enhanced my understanding when reading a literary work, was when i was reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The symbol is the green light, which sits across the water from Gatsby's house. Gatsby stood at the end of his garden with arms outstretched, desperately trying to reach the green light. The green light symbolizes how desperately Gatsby want Daisy back in his life- however, his failure to reach the green light demonstrates how Daisy is ultimately gone from his life forever.…

Noticing when your stomach tenses, or you experience a sharp intake of breath, could save you from getting too close to a challenging situation. Your brain and body work together, handling details in your environment before you are aware of them. People often label this process as intuition, imagining that it’s a mysterious skill. Nevertheless, self-aware people are very intuitive because they notice what their body tells them. Luckily, this means that you can become more intuitive and wise if you increase your own…

    - With the casting of coins or stalks of a plant, certain patterns emerge. By identifying these patterns, a prediction is made. When casting the coins, they each represented a trigram that when put together you would compare it to your hexagram number. Each hexagram number had a different reading (they were kind of their own version of a fortune cookie). The readings were a form of divination in the way that they each had separate readings about actions to take in the future. They had a personality and wisdom of their own in a sense that each hexagram had a different reading and action to follow. They each had a different fortune.…

    Palm reading has been around since as early as 2000 B.C. when it was introduced in China. We have all seen the small stands in urban areas, usually advertising “Your future for only $5, have your palm read today!” How many of us actually stop is a completely different story. Most people through deductive reasoning decide that looking into the future and predicting it accurately is impossible, even with the use of a person’s hand. However, thousands of people make their living in the United States each year by studying the lines on a persons hand and supposedly foretelling the future. But is there any science behind it? Does palm reading actually have some shred of truth behind it? Well I am here to discover that.…

Scientists explain that the differences in bone density, size and mass, along with filtering effects from a person's soft tissues and joints, imply that various locations on the user's skin have different acoustic features. It is worth mentioning that the acoustic detector used in this invention is able to identify five skin locations, registering an accuracy of about 95.5 percent.…
