.... strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness, etc. Bronze is stronger than brass or copper and is commonly composed of 90% copper, 5% tin, and 5%zinc. These percentages can be altered to suit desired characteristics. Bronze has a tensile strength anywhere between 30,000-40,000 lbs./square inch. This high tensile strength makes sculpting easier. (Kazanas p.15) Since bronze is an alloy, we do not know the exact composition of the bronze used in “The Kiss” first hand. We can discover what metals actually comprise this bronze and their percentages through X-ray fluorescence. .....

.... fault, the result of his own free choice, not the result of an accident or fate. An accident and/or fate may be a contributing factor in the hero's downfall, but are not alone responsible. Macbeth's downfall is entirely his fault. He chose to listen to the witches' prophecy. Banquo heard the same prophecy, but chose not to allow himself to be duped. Macbeth could have done the same thing. He, instead, chose to accept the prophecy and act upon it. Macbeth spends most of the play in moral indecision. Lady Macbeth encourages him, but it is he that chooses his actions. A tragic hero's .....

.... dialect that Shakespeare wrote. Differences are also introduced into the movie because nothing can compare to what Shakespeare has written back the old English days. The biggest difference would be that the film was made to fit modern times. No matter the what year each production was made, the same plot of Romeo and Juliet still remain in the both stories. The main similarity between the1996 version of Romeo and Juliet and the original play is that most things stayed the same. For example, the dialect and characters all the stayed the same. The dialect was almost word for word, but some .....

.... he could appease the serpent. “Igwezu: And ever since I began to till the soil, did I not give the soil his due? Did I not bring the first oil upon the altar?” No one questioned where the goods went, because it was almost blasphemous to do so. “Makuri: I must go after him [Kadiye] or he’ll stir up the village against us. This is you home, Igwezu, and I would not drive you from it for the entire world. But it might be best for you if you went back to the city until this is forgotten.” Yet, Igwezu had the courage to face the useless Kadiye and become a “slayer of serpents” .....

.... that one day they will be reunited. During the next scene Moses is playing with his brother, Rameses, riding all over the kingdom in chariots. They eventually destroy some of the construction and the Pharaoh reprimanded them both for their behavior. Moses knows that the Pharaoh usually puts dishonor on Rameses when he is troublesome, so Moses takes the blame to protect his brother from the shame. This scene depicts Moses’s closeness with Rameses and the love he has for his brother. Moses then travels through the town and runs into his biological sister who tells him that he is a Hebrew .....

.... man is the picture of a stereotypical "Bible-belt" minister. He is loud, flamboyant, hypocritical, and uses his influence to become a pillar of the community.

.... Schmitz, 26, agreed to appear on a secret admirers segment of The Jenny Jones talk show expecting his admirer to be a woman, not his gay neighbor. When Schmitz found Scott Amedure, a 32-year-old unemployed gay man, telling a television audience about a fantasy that involved Schmitz, some whipped cream, strawberries and champagne, he became embarrassed and, his lawyers said, enraged. Three days after the taping Schmitz received an anonymous, sexually suggestive note on his doorstep and assumed it came from Amedure. Schmitz purchased a 12-gauge shotgun, went to Amedure’s mobile home, .....

.... how another would react suffering this type of bias for so many years. She is hurt and she seeks revenge. This is seen in Act II, Scene I, when Katherine sums up her own state: “I will go sit and weep/ Till I can find occasion of revenge” (35-36). It is an immature response, but the only one she knows, and it serves the dual purpose of cloaking her hurt. The transformation, which she undergoes near the end of the play, is not one of character, but one of attitude. At the end of the play, we find out that her negative attitude becomes a positive one. The shrew is not a shrew at .....

.... oats, wheat, and apples. With this newfound “wonder crop”, Iowans found that farming had become the ideal way of life. Working on the farm involved all of the members of the family, which brought them together and made them stronger through hardships and great opportunities. Draft horses used for plowing later became a luxury and farming soon lost its fun and joyful qualities. It was a time of greater hardship than ever before, but the freedom Iowa farmers had to work, worship, live, and play in their own way made it worth the despairing times. Towns of all sizes began growin .....

.... figures of Victory. The sphinxes show the god Zeus was protected. His head was decorated with an olive wreath, possibly symbolizing peace. The face was made of ivory, the hair and beard were made of gold. Zeus held in his left hand a golden scepter representing royalty, topped with a golden eagle. In his right hand he held a Victory, symbolizing the importance of winning. Zeus wore a golden robe and sandals. The robe was described as beautiful with carvings of animals and lilies. The garments of Zeus may make one assume that the Greeks believed in wearing comfortable and practica .....
