head, her face is almost completely in the shadows; this shadowing covers
the detail of her face in such a way that she could be almost anyone. She
gazes wistfully at the ground to her left.
The woman is rendered very softly and is in a very sensuous pose. This
picture would have been found scandalous for its sexual overtones as was
Courbet's La Demoiselles au bord de la Seine. A scarlet cloth lies in
front of her; it has a very rumpled look which has sexual i .....

Shakespeare's "Sonnet 50"
Words: 376 - Pages: 2.... the speaker doesn't really want to leave. The speaker "lov'd not speed, being made from thee." "Thee" refers to the person the speaker is parting with. The horse is, in a sense, the speaker's heart, reluctant to keep moving, although it must bear his grief.
The speaker, in stanzas 9-12, frequently gets frustrated and tries to force himself on, as shown by the "bloody spur" which indicates repeated use. The groan that the beast makes from the spurring is "more sharp to me[the speaker] than spurring to his[the beast's] side". The more the speaker tries to force himself along, the worse his pain. Knowing this, in stanzas 13-14, the speaker say .....

Mindwalk: International Relations
Words: 330 - Pages: 2.... the movie takes a deep inner-look at the world.
As the three characters get to know one another, they begin to discuss
(actually debate) various topics about the world around them. As they all begin
to tell their side, it becomes clear why the author chose these characters.
Each has a very separate, very unique view on the subject he is trying to get
across: people's perception of the world.
As the day draws to a close, the three different viewpoints seem to
slowly diverge into a common thought: People need to view the world as a whole,
everything relying on each other, as nature and life, instead of a huge
mechanical mac .....

the police in the front of the line and due to poor communication nothing could
be done to stop it. A large gate "gate C" was finally opened to let off the
pressure in front. This is when the true disaster occurred. People funneled
straight onto the already full pens and created the stampede which killed the 95
people. People in the rear were in an acquisitive panic and the people in the
front who were getting crushed were in a fearful panic. The emergency gates
would open but the police, not realizing the situation, kept people in and
closed the gates.

The Die Hard Trilogy: McClain An Example Of A Hero In America
Words: 614 - Pages: 3.... third movie, McClain takes on a partner to help him fight a mad
bomber. This is different from the movies from the past, James Bond or John

a partner shows some post modern aspects of Hollywood. Both of these facts help

Another aspect that makes McClain a post modern hero in America is the
fact that he to has problems, James Bond was never like this, he .....
