Summer by David Updike King Solomon wrote wisely‚ and later was wisely paraphrased by the folk band “The Byrds”‚ “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven...” (Ecclesiastes 3:1‚8). Seasons often represent the periods of a person’s life; birth‚ youth‚ age and death. In the short story “Summer” by David Updike‚ the lake provides an eternal and unchanging witness to Homer’s transition from season to season and from boy to man. In the beginning we find the family and

King David Paper The movie King David starring Richard Gere is based on the story of King David found in 1 and 2 Samuel in the Bible. Even though the movie is just as entertaining as the biblical version‚ there are some differences in the Hollywood depiction.

David with the Head of Goliath At first glance‚ I instantly recognized this work to be a depiction of David and Goliath. Since we had previously discussed similar works in class‚ this particular scene was very interesting to me. The painting itself with its dark dramatic lighting‚ earthly tones and realistic characters‚ is strikingly similar to the same scene paint by Caravaggio. The two paintings almost scream for a comparison. The expression of Vignon’s David seems to be one of intense contemplation

disapproval (blame) felt by spectators who contemplate a character trait or action (see Section 7). (4) While some virtues and vices are natural (see Section 13)‚ others‚ including justice‚ are artificial (see Section 9).
