Reflective piece: Cogito ergo sum
Dante: ”This has felt like the longest day of my life has it just been one day” Sighing
Cassandra:”I have no idea our time together has been a confusing patchwork of moments
Cassandra::Its June_12_2105, I don’t remember when we started.”
Dante:“You know I woke up in my bed today it just happens to have happened a hundred years ago.”
Cassandra:”Sounds like a riddle.”
“I woke up in my bed today…a hundred years ago who am I?”

After this ordeal, this despair I can’t believe that now I would escape this nightmare. I don’t care anymore about what I am. After having been at the power station at Epsilon, the ruins of Sigma, the abandoned Omnicron, Zeta and now finally the omega space gun.
Just moments ago I was getting my brain scanned because of the bleeding I had after the crash:

…….we hope to develop a gentle way to work with brain reconstruction
Dante:“Will this hurt?”
Doctor:“It’s just a scan it will hurt as getting your picture taken.”
Dante:“Amerindians thought cameras would steal their souls.”
Doctor:“Well then let’s hope that they’re wrong hehehe.”

He first woke up in a strange place with a pounding sensation reverberating through his skull as he clutched arms over his head and stumbled along wiping his sockets that he did not know was absent. He struggled to stop

  • Contrapasso In Dantes Inferno

    1345 Words  | 6 Pages

    Fueled by the anger surrounding his banishment from Florence in 1302, Dante Alighieri spitefully wrote the epic poem, the Divine Comedy. The Inferno, the first part of the trilogy of the Divine Comedy, tells the story of Dante the pilgrim and Dante the poet. The two personas deliver Dante’s journey through hell, the Inferno, with added depth. Dante is also guided by Virgil, an ancient Roman poet from 50 B.C. The three personas share different perspectives on the grueling detail of their findings in hell.

  • Analysis Of Neal Shusterman's Unwind

    An example of the negative mental side effects of receiving a transplant would be best shown in the case of Cyrus Finch, who received a complete temporal lobe (Shusterman 126) which deals with emotional association (Smith 21). This leads him to steal without reason and causes him to feel things that he himself should not feel (Shusterman 138-139). In cases like his, the person’s issues highly resemble a new type of dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, where a person’s personality seems to split into two distinct personas (“Dissociative Identity Disorder”). Even without receiving a brain piece, the people who receive transplants are still faced with the life of the unwound teen. This is made apparent when the Admiral gathers all who were given parts from Harlan Dunfee.

  • Individuality In The Count Of Monte Cristo

    688 Words  | 3 Pages

    The individuality of a human can easily be taken advantage of and changed. When people go through many unfortunate events or depression swings, they change completely because they think of a different way of approaching another situation. In The Count Of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, Edmond Dantes, a member from the third estate is thrown in jail falsely and all he is seeking is one goal, which is vengence. In The Count Of Monte Cristo, Dumas conveys Dantes as an innocent, loving, and a respectful man changing into a fearless, smarter person to fulfill his life goal. Old Dantes was a simple, naive human being that only wishes for the best of anyone and always shows love to anyone under any circumstance.

    Other than being prominent in Renaissance daily life, complex scientific ideas within The Divine Comedy captivated and changed the way scientists and mathematicians thought in the Renaissance.

He subtly infused cosmological ideas of Ptolemy and others (Schlager and Lauer, 326). In addition to drawing the attention of literary writers, Dante captivated a scientific audience by including complex science and math alongside meticulous writing. Scientific minds from the Renaissance drew from the complex themes.

  • The Epic Hero Cycle Of Dante's Inferno

    751 Words  | 4 Pages

    Dante Hero Essay Pieces of writing are often viewed as a product of their origin time period, even in the modern day it is not uncommon to view our time plane as independent to what preceded as if we were somehow separate from every moment that came before. Instead every aspect of a story is ingrained with the message of millenniums before it, so much so the effect that the present has pales in comparison. This is present throughout Dante’s inferno written by Dante Alighieri as it is not merely a representation of the time period it originated from, rather the present represents the top of an iceberg whose very existence and stature are fully dependent on the times that preceded. This phenomenon of the past is fully present in Dante’s epic hero cycle. Dante’s resurrection reveals to be heavily influenced by the history of humankind.

  • Significance Of Light In Dante's Paradiso

    2050 Words  | 9 Pages

    “A mirror,” Allen Tate writes, “is an artifact of the practical intellect, and as such can be explained by natural law: but there is no natural law which explains man as a mirror reflecting the image of God” (Tate 275). Dante, Tate concludes, gives mirrors their transformative symbolism rather than uses their preexisting symbolism. One of the most important moments that mark the beginning stages of Dante’s transhumanisation is the three mirrors experiment first mentioned in Canto II. Dante’s fascination with mirrors originates from Pseudo-Dionysius, who structured the cosmos “into a cascade of illuminations by presenting the angelic hierarchies as mirrors which received and transmitted divine light” (Gilson 245). The extent of Dante’s direct contact with Dionysius’ works is not known, but Dionysius’ preoccupation with angelic intervention had become popular by the time Dante was writing the Commedia (Gilson 245).

  • Death And Afterlife In Dante's Inferno

    772 Words  | 4 Pages

    Dante Alighieri, who was born in 1265 CE and later died in 1321 CE, was a famous poet in Florence, Italy, most commonly known for his book, Dante’s Inferno. Dante’s Inferno was a product of Dante’s time period because in Florence during this time period, the idea of death and afterlife was very prominent in religion, and Dante’s text, The Inferno, focuses on the idea that the sins committed during one’s life determines the fate of one’s after-life. Because the idea that one’s sins determined their fate and life after death was such a common element in literature and art in Florence during this time period, many other pieces of work emphasized the same ideals, specifically one work in particular, The Scrovegni Chapel. From the years 1303 through 1310 CE, a man named Giotto Di Bondone, an italian painter, used the same principal ideals about sin and life after death that Dante used, in one of his most famous and influential pieces of work, The Scrovegni Chapel.

  • Allegory In Dante's Inferno

    741 Words  | 3 Pages

    Dante’s Inferno represents a microcosm of society; meaning, laymen, church, politicians, and scholars are all compiled into one place and punished for their sins. Hell, despite being depicted as brutal, ugly, and chaotic, is made realistic because the inhabitants come from every country and every walk of life. While Dante Alighieri did not invent the idea of Hell itself, he did create an important and in depth concept that still receives attention in biblical, classical, and medieval works. The Divine Comedy itself was written sometime between the years 1308 and 1321 and scholars still consider it the “supreme work of Italian literature.” The work itself is an epic poem divided into three separate sections: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso; respectively Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven.
