Some examples range from the snake goddess, the bull, the horns of consecration, and other animal associations of the like. The rhyta present in Minoan art were used in religious rituals consisting of liquid offerings being poured and were widely prominent with the elite and at the palace at Knossos. The “Terracotta

The African elephant population has dwindled because of poaching—from 1.3 million to around 600,000 just during 1979-1987. In the 1980’s, there was a 60% decline in the African elephants, which they have yet had time to recover from (Effects). Poaching does not just include the African elephants; the black rhino population has decreased

In a distant plain, I was traveling to nowhere. Walking along a path, I looked around, absorbing the sights around me – eight grazing cows and seven snoring sleeping hyenas. Suddenly, I encountered a railroad crossing at a peculiar location. To the right, daisies lined the railroad, and to the left, two perfectly square mountains – both a meter taller than me – blocked the sighting of any approaching westbound train. The railroad gauge was, to my surprise, a meter long. I stopped at a fresh, yellow

LaGuardia Airport in New York City. The ride to the airport was a cold, desolate and somewhat creepy ride as we were one of the only cars on the interstate and the darkness almost seemed eerie. Nevertheless, we arrived at Greenville-Spartanburg Airport around 5 A.M. and before I walked into the airport, I was expecting the place to be almost dead. When the automatic sliding doors slid open, the fresh smell of breakfast bagels and coffee filled my nostrils. We were greeted by smiling security workers and

broken shingles sat. Warped wood walls trapped the occupants inside. A chemistry set, fizzling with concoctions lay on a table. A man with molded hair laying on the shoulders of his lab coat poured this glowing green liquid into a syringe. He turns around, where another man kneeled at his feet said, "Lord Grendal, I am ready for enlightenment." Grendal smiled and stuck the syringe in the mans neck. There was a series of screams and shouts from the man. "It is perfect," replies the Scientist, "Just

As the train pulled into the station, the conductor honked the horn, and I got very excited because I thought he was honking at me. I thought he was saying hello, so I looked up to tell dad that the conductor honked at me, and when I looked up, my world stopped. The man I had been following all this time was not my

The whole point of this policy is to eliminate ivory and rhinoceros horns trading sales because both animal species are on the IUCN Red List. This policy mentions that in order to make this bill work in Pennsylvania, some laws are going to be needed in order fulfill this salvation and to spread the word around the world.

Johannes Brahms’ (1833-1897) Symphony No. 3, Op. 90 in F major is perhaps one of Brahms’ most bittersweet and poetic works. Written in 1884, this piece is largely centered around a motto—a theme borrowed from Robert Schumann’s third symphony, the Rhenish. As Schumann’s protégé, this allusion is said to have been a nod at Schumann’s tragic suicide attempt in the Rhine river—the Rhenish’s namesake. In the first movement of this symphony, Brahms manipulates motivic material and harmonic processes to

object; however, the light passing through it is diffused such that objects viewed are not clearly visible. Entangled in her glass world Laura is protected, the light in her world so diffused she is unwilling to clearly see the reality existing around her. After crying out Laura turns her face away from the scene of her shattered glass, unable to even glimpse the reality of the situation. In doing this she chooses to remain in her glass world of diffused light. When Nancy M. Tischler speaks
