Day Of The Dead Project

This project was quite expeditious due to the number of alternate subjects studied within the constraints of school. This made it quite difficult to complete because time limits were evident and tested. This could have had a substantial impact on the project itself, however, it did not because of skill and precision. Working individually could be beneficial in certain circumstances if one is smart, advantages might include independence and personal idea. Although, it was not easy coming up with good ideas and multi-tasking in different areas individually. In addition, working in a class group was helpful due to the amount of

The assignment I would want to talk about is The Seven Principles of the Constitution project. What my teacher wanted me to do was to pick a option which was 1-8. What I decided to do was option number 4 with a partner. Option number 4 was a power point of the seven principles. The expectation was to have a slide for each 7 principle an a extra slide. The point of this assignment is to explain each principle and write and extra paragraph of how it helps me in life. My expectation on this project is an “A” and the grade I got was an “A”.

El Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is a holiday is dominantly celebrated in Mexico on the first and second day of November. Before the celebration begins, on October 31st, All Hallows Eve is held. On this day, parades of people in extravagant costumes walk the streets determined to clear the area of all evil spirits to prepare for the following days. On November 1st, it is el Día de los Innnocentes, the day of the children, and also All Saints Day. During this day, young children (known as saints, angels, or innocents) that have passed away are celebrated and remembered for the short lives they lived.

I’m Isaiah Pierre-Louis and my senior project is on Red Rocks and the residential conflict happening around the park. I chose my project because, I love music. My goal in life is to become a DJ/Producer and perform amazing shows with awesome visuals. I thought to myself and came up with a great topic to base my project around and made sure I could still include strict details on Red Rocks. When I first heard about the project I thought I would just have to base it around something I wanted to do; and since Red Rocks was having complaints about volume during concert nights, the conflict just gave me broader options on what to research. Because at first, I thought the conflict was because of the damage to the rocks, I was researching the complete

For the Honors World History midterm project the class was put into groups and we were to make a poster with information about one topic from the first semester. We started with three topics and then picked which idea would be best to transfer to a poster. My group started with the three categories, people, revolutions and countries. We chose countries for our poster. Even though this project was very intimidating and stressful at first, I ended up enjoying it because we worked with other classmates which allowed for more creativity as well as a more complete poster since more people worked on it.

Halloween and Day of the Dead have many similarities and differences but I will just be talking about three of them. Mexico and Central America celebrate two different holidays in different ways. But they both share similar traditions in their communities. Even though some traditions may be different like colors, skeletons, and how we celebrate Halloween compared to how people celebrate Day of the Dead. But you will see that Day of the Dead and Halloween both share some of the same traditions.

Most Latin American countries have different celebrations that have meanings that tie back to the older days when their ancestors roamed. Modern day Latin America celebrates Dia de los Muertos, which is known as Day of the Dead. Day of the Dead is a common celebration that is mostly found in Central America, Mexico, and now is adopted into the Mexican American culture. The purpose of Day of the Dead is not to grieve over the loss of a loved one, but to commemorate the lives of the loved one, and to appreciate the return of the loved one’s spirit. According to National Geographic,” Dia de los Muertos honors the dead with festivals and lively celebrations, a typically Latin American custom that combines indigenous Aztec ritual with Catholicism, brought to the region by Spanish conquistadores.”

For “ artifact ”, project one I believe that I started off very strong and sharp with my topic. Project I was a rhetorical analysis essay, and the we had to define and write a rhetorical analysis about a historical speech that has meaning and emotion and that has impacted the society that we live in. The topic that I picked for project one was former President Barrack Obama’s Tucson memorial speech. For this project I focused on using fundamental elements of goal one, letter b. I was able to proficiently identify and explain how the speaker interacted and persuaded the audience to engage in his speech, I also was also able to show how the speaker was able to get his objective and main points across the audience that he was speaking to. I felt very comfortable writing this project because I was able to have an abundance of sources and vital information that would be able to help me in the process of writing and perfecting my essay for project one. This was my first time to write a rhetorical analysis essay, I do have to admit in the start of my essay I was confused on how properly write and structure a rhetorical analysis essay. After having the chance to attend a peer review group session, I was able to receive vital and worthy information would help properly understand how to go about writing a rhetorical

My term paper topic involves ancient Egyptian belief in the afterlife and how it affects ancient Egyptian culture. I chose The Book of the Dead, translated by Ernest Alfred Wallis Budge, as one of my primary sources. The Book of the Dead is composed of many funeral texts for a deceased person, according to the Source book of World History. The purpose of this book is to assist the decease as they pass through many challenges on their way to afterlife. For example, from the spell “The protestation of Guiltiness” the deceased person has to stand in front of the Lord of Justice, and he has to state that he did not commit any of the crime or injustices listed

It is sometimes said that butlers only truly exist in England. Other countries, whatever title is actually used, have only manservants. (Ishiguro 43).

It was the 42nd Annual Day of the Dead in which is organized by Self Help Graphics & Art. The event was hosted at Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez High School over there in east LA. In more detail it was in Plaza Del Sol LA. According to the events wed site it is the “Most Popular Dia de Los Muertos events in los Angeles and perhaps the oldest day of the dead commemoration in the country.” It was a unique event because it not only has one date of fun it was many more activtes before the actual celebration of the day of the dead event. It was event were the Latino tradition of celebrating the dead is celebrated by not only Hispanics but white people since I saw a lot of white people. It was an event where I saw a lot of Greasers attend and just have a good time dancing oldies. It was where girls got to paint there faces and wear flowers in their head while the men would dress like pachoucos. I saw as an event in which a lot of people had the

For my paper, I have decided to write about an art piece from Ancient Egypt known as The Book of the Dead (The New Kingdom, 1550 BCE-50 BCE). "The Book of the Dead is the common name for the ancient Egyptian funerary texts known as The Book of Coming [or Going] Forth By Day. The name "Book of the Dead" was the invention of the German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius, who published a selection of some texts in 1842." -E.A. Wallis Budge. 1 It was a papyrus scroll that was buried with the deceased containing spells that were meant to help them overcome obstacles they would face in the afterlife. To the ancient Egyptians who believed that not preparing for life after death jeopardized their chances for eternal paradise, it was a very sought

Protagonists of novels should be relatable and realistic. They should be individuals with whom readers can easily identify, and consequently should be painted with as much humanity as possible. Mr. Stevens, the protagonist of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel The Remains of the Day, is no exception. He is meant to be an incredibly human character, and consequently it makes sense that the reader should seek to define his flaws and limits, and whether or not he exhibits “spiritual imprisonment”, as Robert Stone terms it. Of course, it is necessary to identify exactly what spiritual imprisonment is. At its core, spiritual imprisonment can be defined as someone being restricted by someone or something else from pursuing what they value. The character of Stevens that Ishiguro draws in his short narrative, and the personal values that Stevens subtly exhibits, suggest that Stevens, while misguided in his values for a large portion of the book, is free to pursue those values, and consequently is not spiritually imprisoned.

The Day of the Dead celebration has been implemented in life even since I can remember. My great grandparents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and the rest of my family would build altars, cook food and have a family party on November 1st and 2nd. I grew up knowing what to do and what my role was in this celebration. My grandmother would tell me to go buy candy from the store, help bring the flowers from the market and help set up the table with all the food and offerings. However, I didn't know the history behind it nor the significance of the objects in the altars. I simply knew that this celebration was a way of honoring our dearly departed.

In our project we worked diligently and completed the assignment in good time. Some positive aspects of the assignment were the fact that me and my partner worked well together and shared the tasks equally, we would've liked to complete the writing portion of the assignment quicker so we could work on raising money for a longer period of time. In addition at the start of the assignment it seemed like a large task but once started there was less difficulty. Me and my partner Dylan worked well together as we are friends, we each did equal work which was not up to standard. Something to include next time in our group would maybe be some more creativity so we could have raised more money or an enhanced essay, we did not encounter any obstacles.
