    The Lovely Bones is a grief-stricken movie about the investigation and aftermath of a missing young girl named Susie Salmon. The fate of young Susie and her story are told to the audience within the first five minutes of viewing the film. Susie is brutally raped and murdered at the age of 14 in a small town near Philadelphia in 1973. After her murder, the movie is presented as Susie’s story, for she is the protagonist. Susie narrates the entire film; showing her battle with purgatory and acceptance of fate as well as observing the life of her family as they go through the grieving process. In Peter Jackson’s film, The Lovely Bones, grief and its five main steps become the central theme among the characters during their struggle to accept the reality of Susie Salomon.…

    The Chauvet Cave

    The Chauvet Cave revealed, among other things, that art may not have developed linearly as scholars previously assumed. The Chauvet Cave, though at least 10,000 years older than the other discoveries, contains surprisingly sophisticated art, by far the most realistic of all the other examples of cave art discovered so far. The use of modeling, or shading, to give the art the appearance of volume has yet to be found in any other caves. The fact that the art in the Chauvet Cave predates other, more simplistic discoveries seems to suggest that, rather than the level of sophistication paralleling the evolution of man, the use of naturalism, modeling, and illusionism was most likely determined by cultural factors or even varying amounts of skill…

    Some things are bad when they happen once, but what about when they happen multiple times? I can definitely relate to this, because I have broken the same two teeth four times! Am I clumsy or is it just bad luck? Maybe riding a ride I was not tall enough for, playing chicken in the pool with younger kids, or not paying attention at volleyball practice and getting hit in the face was a bad idea, as they each led to the crunch of crunches and a pain that runs from my head to my toes.…

    The Allegory of the Cave

    The Allegory of the Cave is a metaphor that can be seen to describe many aspects and situations in life that one had no control or choice over. The reason Plato uses many metaphors in his allegory is to think or ‘philosophize’ about the world around us because in fact our understanding of the world is very limited. This is due to the fact that we live in a world of shadows and not reality to whom very little is actually known about by everyone. The metaphors are seen to actually represent a society with all its people, truths, hidden meanings, problems, solutions etc… The meanings transferred in the allegory of the cave apply to philosophy because it shows the philosophers position in society. It gives the philosopher the opportunity to philosophize/think about what exists/reality and what does not exist in our surrounding environment. To society, the allegory of the cave contemplates many issues related to man in his society. Such issues include human’s ability to be ignorant or knowledgeable, free or imprisoned, stubborn, lazy, active, etc… by choosing either to or not to search for answers to many of the issues that arise continuously. Moreover, The Allegory of the Cave is about ignorance and learning because the men in the cave are ignorant or unaware of the outside world that exists except for the shadows that they saw passing by on the walls. The man who is freed engages in the process of learning from the moment he is released from the cave and is forced to adapt to the new conditions and situations that now surround him. In addition, the chains are used to symbolize the limited amount of information that a person has about reality. For whatever reason, this limited amount of information can be considered to be a type of ignorance. Last but not least, as humans in this world, many of us are really ignorant…

    The Allegory of the Cave

    In “The Allegory of the Cave”, I believe truth is being portrayed as something we as humans see, maybe only once, without it even being the whole truth. Even then we neglect to see “other truths.” According to Socrates, and I quote, “From the beginning people like this have never managed, whether on their own or with the help by others, to see anything besides the shadows that are [continually] projected on the wall opposite them by the glow of fire.” Socrates believes humans will automatically assume something to be truthful, and with no actual evidence that we won’t even bother to look at the sight of whatever it may actually be. At then end, if someone would try to tell us otherwise, we will neglect the actual truth and still believe we know what the truth really is. Even if the actual truth was shown to us, and we were seeing it with the naked eye, it will not be enough to convince us otherwise of our own perception. However, I believe Socrates is saying that as humans, we need to be forced to look at the “real truth” and that it will take time to assimilate to once we’re forcibly presented with it. However afterwards, we will see the light; we will see the real truths behind what we previously believed to be false. After the truth has been revealed to us, we will assimilate to it permanently. Socrates states, and I quote, “But I think that finally he would be in the condition to look at the sun itself, not just at its reflection whether in water or wherever else it might appear, but at the sun itself, as it is….” However, knowing too much of the truth can lead to conflicts, and that is probably why so many things are hidden from us. Maybe our problem is not that we don’t want to see the truth, but that we are scared of what the outcome may be if we do know the real truths.…

    The Titanic: The Cause Of The Titanic

    Fredrick Fleet was the workman on guard on the Titanic on April 14. Fleet, had warned the personnel on the ship’s control deck to look out for icebergs that night, yet nobody was at the control panel that fateful night (McPherson 6). The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable when it was built in 1911. “More than 2,200 people were now aboard the Titanic including 1,300 passengers” (Senan 16). The location the Titanic deported from was Great Britain and it was headed to New York. After three long days of sailing on the North Atlantic, they stopped in Ireland. A few days later, the ship crashed into an iceberg that had made it’s way into North Atlantic from Greenland (Fahey 4). Many people went back to their rooms to get their valuables from down below (Lord 60). Most historians say that they don’t know the exact number of passengers that were on the Titanic because, there was no accurate list of them. The Titanic was a major disaster but could have been prevented if workers were at their stations.…

    The Titanic Research Paper

    A major shift in our innovative world occurred during the beginning of the 20th century. Inventions that rule our era today were first brought upon in the early 1900s. One of the most notorious of these inventions was the steamboat. During this time there was a big transition from sailboat to steamboat. A significant change as to how naval vessels were built and operated took place, which sometimes resulted in conducting problems leading to tragedies. One of the most famous steamboats to ever be built was the R.M.S Titanic. White Star Line’s Royal Mail Ship Titanic was the largest British luxury passenger liner to ever be built. At the time, Titanic was believed to be unsinkable because of the way she was constructed;…

    20,000 Leagues Under the Sea:

    The ocean swells around you like a dust devil in a sandbox. Salt water fills your nostrils. The ship that deemed this fate upon you sails into the distance. You wonder, how am I going to get out of this one? Suddenly, a large metal object plants itself beneath your feet. A porthole opens and men carry you inside the belly of the large iron beast floating nether you. What’s going to happen now? In Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, this is exactly what main characters M. Aronmax, his servant Conseil, and Ned Land the harpooner, were thinking. After a hefty six-hour wait of being locked in a dark cell, the door opens. A man who introduces himself as Captain Nemo, an obvious leader and a man of stature, claims to have built the submersible in order to travel the world without ever having to step back on the land which he so greatly rejects. Reflection on the qualities of leadership reveals how Captain Nemo’s character enabled him to do exactly this.…
