Encounter with Mystery


Hi. Please for this assignment use a symbol or anything explained in the bottom on one of the religions (Buddhism,hinduism,and the chinese religions). use one of these religions. (PLEASE USE FOOTNOTES AND CITE EVERYTHING)
Main text books are: Mary Pat Fisher, Living Religions (9th edition, 2013)
Fisher and Bailey, Anthology of Living Religions (3rd ed., 2011)
Smith-Christopher, Subverting Hatred: Nonviolence in Religious Traditions
Description:
Religions express the mystery of life and the reality of the sacred through “symbol systems”: poetry, metaphor, paradox, objects (e.g. the cross), gestures, architecture – even silence. The Hindu sound Om; the smile of the Buddha and the teachings of no-self (anatta), emptiness (shunyata); the humor of Chuang Tzu in expressing “the way” (tao) and “not-doing” (wu-wei); and the miracles of the Bible – all point to powers or relationships that are invisible or transcend conventional speech or logic. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
Part I Choose an example of symbolic expression from one of the traditions we have studied (not your own). Describe the symbol, gesture, or object, and give some background: its origin and place in the tradition. Quote authorities, give examples, and identify your sources with proper citations.
Part II How does such a mode of expression work to produce a state of mind and or style of behavior for those who use it? What seems to be the purpose and impact of this symbol or teaching?
Part III What do you find appealing or unappealing about this symbol? Have you ever experienced the mystery of life that it points to? Are you drawn to such ways of expressing mystery?
Or do you hold that such indirect modes of expression obscure the truth about life and the world? CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

Introduction to the Art and Technique of Filmmaking


Please respond to both of the following questions. A substantive four- to five-paragraph
response to each question is required. Be sure to answer each question completely. Write in
the present tense, use 12-point Times (Mac) or Times New Roman (PC) font, double-spaced,
with 1.25” margins left-right and 1” margins top-bottom. Do not repeat the questions in
your answers.1. Watch the clip from ET at the link below, then discuss how cinematography and lighting
contribute to the narrative meanings and emotional effects of the scene (you must discuss
both these functions of cinematography and lighting in the scene). You are expected to
isolate, describe and discuss three (3) significant techniques of cinematography used in the
scene, and two (2) significant techniques of lighting. Avoid discussing rote techniques like
centering and headroom, as filmmakers tend to use those kinds of techniques automatically,
even unconsciously. Instead, isolate, describe and discuss techniques of cinematography
and lighting that seem to you to have been included in the scene by the filmmakers for very
specific narrative and emotional purposes. (To answer this question it will help you to peruse
Chapter 8 in Film Art: Style as a Formal System, in particular the section entitled “Analyzing
Film Style.”) The movie clip will be at the attach file. this question require reading of Film Art: An Introduction, by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson (10th Edition). The page numbers in the course calendar match the 10th edition. Please do not purchase an older edition. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

films we have so far watched to make your points (choose examples not already discussed in
lecture). Don’t forget to cover the “rule of three” in your answer.
the lecture lesson 6 can be download from the attach file. I will upload it . please read the attach file too. thank you.
Do not lift text verbatim from Film Art without acknowledging that you are quoting from the
book and do not casually “borrow” material from the Internet or other sources. Quotes or
