Upon learning about Judaism, I was intrigued with the different holidays the Jewish people celebrate. In particular, I was especially interested in the holiday Yom Kippur, which is a part of the high holy days. The high holy days consist of Yom Hakippurim (Jewish New years) and Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is known as the Day of Atonement, and is also referred to as “Sabbath of sabbaths,” (Diamant). Yom Kippur is the holiest day in Judaism. I will present this project to the class with the aid of multimedia; I believe this presentation will be most effective, when engaging with several images of the various aspects of this holiday. My objective for this project is to learn about Yom Kippur and present this holiday to the
Deposition, by the artist Rogier van der Weyden, attempts to capture the essence of the grief experienced when Jesus’s died on the cross, and to invoke the emotion in the altarpiece’s viewer, thus drawing him/her into the biblical

During 1925, Mein Kampf was published by the Nazi Leader Adolf Hitler. In this autobiography, where Nazi racist ideas originated, he depicted his struggle with the Jews in Germany. These ideas sparked World War 2 and the Genocide of the Jews. The tragedy of the Holocaust inspired authors, such as Art Spiegelman who produced a Graphic novel, where both the text and images helped him convey his own ideas and messages. In fact, Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel Maus is an effective medium for telling a Holocaust narrative and specifically his father’s story of survival. Through this medium, he is able to captivate the readers while providing interesting insight into the tragedy of the Holocaust by using the symbols of animals, the contrast between realism and cartoon imagery and the various basic elements of a graphic novel.

The positions of the stories in the apse show the importance of the figures represented in the images. Christ's placement the center of the apse holding a book with his left hand provides a direct relationship to the Bible. His right hand held up in blessing illustrates his divine power towards the people, who receive the sacrament on the altar below him. Christ is also surrounded by stars, wh...
The posters appeal to logos is deeply intertwined with an appeal to pathos due to the poignant nature of the subject matter. Spielberg’s decision to not use faces in the poster emphasizes the gravity of the Holocaust. This coupled with his use of color as well as his omission of color make a poignant statement: The black and white portions of the poster represent the masses of people who will remain unknown as they are merely a name on a list; whereas the red sleeve on the child is like a blatant mark signifying importance of one person who might have otherwise been lost in the sea of people. By marking and highlighting the value of one person, Spielberg comments on the immense bloodshed of the Holocaust as well as emphasizes the value of human life. The firm grip that the adult’s hand has on the child’s hand symbolizes hope despite the strife and carnage that the Holocaust produced. It represents the strong will that many Jewish people had who, even in the face of the crisis, still looked to the future with hope.
In “High Holy Days” by Jane Shore the idea of innocent youth awakening from a slumber for the first time is conveyed at a rate of infinite constancy from beginning to end. At the poem opens the tone of the speaker is childish and picayune. Throughout the eloquent stanzas filled with reminisces of the speaker, the tone becomes passionate and valiant. The writer, Jane Shore, awakens the speaker to her reality as a Jewish woman living in a world that does not condone her religion.
The depiction of Madonna and Christ is among the most ancient and common in Christian iconography and has an extensive number of variations because apart from its symbolic religious functions, it allows one to interpret the link between mother and child in many aspects. (8)
Saint Patrick’s Day is a story of history versus legend, according to randomhistory.com. Saint Patrick is known as the patron saint of Ireland because of his service across Ireland in the fifth century (theholidayspot.com). Without Saint Patrick’s background/childhood, Saint Patrick being a good bishop, or how Saint Patrick’s Day has come to be nothing would be known about him or Saint Patrick’s Day on March seventeenth.
All of these characters’ narrations, which can appear incoherent, are, connected through the distorted image of the wooden cross. The posts and other symbols link Christmas and the Testaments together. Light in August functions as a fluid novel though structured distortion of the Gospels.
This Christmas break, I did not do much. I only went to my grandparent's house and played board games with my family. I'm not sure that you want a paper with me talking about how much time I spent on video games so I'll avoid that topic. Other than going to my grandparent's house I didn't do anything interesting so I only have two topics to talk about. I stayed up until around 5 am then wake up at 10 am. I might seem like 5 hours of sleep wouldn't be enough, but when you're sitting on a couch, watching TV with your family, and walking the dogs once a week, that energy will last for a while.

One day when we were walking around on Halloween night we were walking around and we walked by the creepy old house. Then when we saw it, we were curious to see what it looked like inside. Floyd and I went up to the house and then all of the sudden the lights flicked on and the door opened. The group walked in and the floor was really old so we had to be careful. We kept hearing sounds and then there was footsteps coming towards us, the doors creaking open, the floor creaking, and voices that were close.
In a couple more weeks it’s going to be Christmas break. I’m looking forward to Christmas break because I get to sleep in and not have to wake up for school. I enjoy seeing the decorations outside of people's houses and their Christmas trees lit up in the windows. I love to spend the break time away from school with my family and friends. We tend to watch lots of Christmas movies while munching on snacks. This year however, I’m going to be a bit lonely without my dog Cyrus. We usually get him a toy, treats, and a tennis ball for Christmas. This year though we won’t be purchasing any of those items. Cyrus was always so excited and sniffed the treats we got for him right out. I’m really going to miss not having him around with his tail wagging
Schools out for, uh, Christmas break? This year Christmas break falls between December 20th and January 4th. That means 15 days of absolute laziness! Oh and let me tell you, lazy is exactly how I spent mine. I was in vehement (Challenging vocabulary) happiness. However, a few interesting things did pop up during this Christmas break in particular.
