The Winged Human Headed Bull
275 wordsThe one piece of Mesopotamian art that struck me the most was the Winged Human Headed Bull, also called Lamassu. This high relief struck me because of its power.

Modern Buddhism Visit To A Buddhist Center

Christian Belief Face Value
962 wordsThe Lottery and Religion The Lottery, and Christianity Shirley Jacksons short story The Lottery, if left at face value, is a perverse tale of a small village sacrificial ceremony, which leaves a lasting impression upon the reader.
