Clay is an advanced outdoorsman and knows how to get through the harsh Yukon environment. The Man is a chechaquo, or a newcomer, and is less familiar with the territory of the Yukon.

    Cotopaxi By Frederic Edwin Church

    In conclusion, Frederic Edwin Church was one of the most effective American artists during 1850 to 1875. Cotopaxi is one of Church’s magnificent series paintings about Cotopaxi landscape. The artist used analogous colors, proportional space and implied activities to emphasize the main contents and develop the impression of motions. Approximate toward the end of 18th century, the Romanticism movement, which originally from Europe, used humble and romantic style to reproduce the natural wonders, influenced the artist. Consequently, aside from introducing Americas to a different and eye opening idea of the Ecuador countryside, the painting embodies an innovation of American Art…

    The relationships of human during the society that were mentioned in Eric Garber’s essay has change into a new stage where gays and lesbians were introduced to the society. Women during that era start gaining their own powers and rights from physically, mentally, economically, socially, and sexually emotion. Even the blacks during the time have the rights to do anything they wanted to. The slave era for blacks has ended by that time and the blacks can then have their own jobs, family, and friends.

    To His Coy Mistress By Andrew Marvel

    Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" seems more like a persuasive speech than a conventional poem. The narrator uses intellect and charm to influence his mistress to give up her innocence. Conventional poems use emotions and symbolism to garner the feelings, while the narrator uses scheme, imagery, and rhetorical appeal to gain this love affair that a lifetime would not give.…

    Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev

    During the discussion, several articles were presented to the class. The subjects brought to light were the Russian economy during the 1850s, serfdom, and the question of whether Turgenev was obsolete or not. The articles on the Russian economy explained the state of transition the Russian economy was in during the mid-1850s. Prior to this period, there were members of the society called serfs. These were essentially slaves who worked on the fields of rich peasants, or the upper class. However, at this time Russia began to move away from serfdom. After this discussion, it would appear Turgenev places great importance on the time, place, and culture of his novel, as serfdom and the existence of social classes are a predominant feature in Fathers and Sons. I found this discussion interesting, as it clarified some aspects of the novel. For example, in Fathers and Sons, Nikolai is a relatively well off land owner, and he ‘owns’ many serfs. However, as the system begins to evolve, the serfs and their owners have some trouble adjusting to the new system of land ownership. The serfs are misbehaved and irresponsible, and these aspects of the culture and context…

    Gay Parenting: What Really Matters

    A considerable number of people assume that same sex couple’s children will become gay as well. According to The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, there is a misunderstanding regarding children’s sexual tendencies who are raised by same sex couples. This professional association ensures that children of gay parents are not more prone to be gay and that there are no dissimilarities in gender identity between heterosexuals and homosexuals’ children. Paradoxically, the fact that many people who are gay were raised by a heterosexual couple clearly contradicts the idea of arguing that same sex couple’s children are going to identify themselves as…

    Apollo and Daphne by Bernini

    In order to fully appreciate the sculpture of Apollo and Daphne by Bernini, we need to understand the myth that it represents from Ovid 's Metamorphoses. The story of Daphne is an example of an etiological myth one that is strongly explanatory of why certain things in their culture were a certain way. The gods were known for punishing mortals for offending them, but occasionally they punished each other. The gods were a vengeful, and they did not take kindly to being insulted, by mortal or god. Apollo made the mistake of insulting one of his fellow immortals. Apollo was a great archer, but sometimes he was a little full of himself. One day he caught sight of Eros (Roman/Cupid), the son of Aphrodite. Eros was also an archer, and his arrows were responsible for causing love and lust in a person 's heart. Apollo teased young Eros, putting down his abilities as an archer, claiming that one so small could really make no difference with his arrows.…
