The ocean is 60 miles thick and is about 10 times deeper than the oceans on Earth. 2. Scientists also believe that the surface shows the possibility of flooding caused by water coming up through crevices or volcanos. 3. 3,270 miles across, Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system with a liquid ocean that lies beneath the surface. 4. Galileo probe discovered

What Lies Beyond? Intro What’s out there? Beyond the atmosphere of the only planet known to contain life, what else really exists out there? Even science, at this point, can only postulate what answers these questions may hold. However, as science begins to develop, the possibility of finding answers continues to create a gravitational pull like a planet may. With so many eyes on the field and a lack of scientific proof, literature and movies in the genre of science-fiction, or more commonly known

Robinson Crusoe In the novel by Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe changes in significant ways throughout the novel. Through his adventures and hardships, he undergoes noticeable and intriguing life changes. However, some of his attributes remain constant. The first stage of his life starts when the novel opens.

Stars 2. The names given to the four moons of Jupiter come from Greek mythology but were not used until the 20th century. Ganymede is the name of the son of King Tros. 3.

flaw does play in his favor during the scene in which Phoebe presumably falls in love with Ganymede. Phoebe never beholds that Ganymede is a woman in disguise, and she presumes she fell in love with a man. However, the film perfectly shows Shakespeare's intention of having Phoebe fall in love with a woman without her knowing so. Recalling Ganymede's feminine appearance, when Phoebe declares her love for Ganymede, the audience genuinely witnesses Phoebe sigh, play with her hair in a flirtatious way,

not one in appearance nor intellect someone that Rosalind would deem worthy of Silvius' affections. Rosalind, who is disguised as a man by the name of Ganymede, proceeds to berate Phoebe for her ill treatment of Silvius, especially in light of the fact that the beauty that he professes Phoebe to posses, in reality is nonexistent. As Rosalind/Ganymede continues in this vain, he realizes that Phoebe has begun to take a shine to

the idea that women were superior to men and that men were not ruled by emotion was popular. Three major characters of William Shakespeare’s play As You Like It blur the lines between these roles: Rosalind, who later disguises herself as the man Ganymede, melancholic Jaques, and comic Touchstone show this change in As You Like It perfectly. All the characters have their obvious character traits that fit into the well-known scheme of male and female gender roles. Nevertheless, they show a deconstruction

tells him that his brother Oliver is furious and will kill him when he has the chance. Orlando is forced to flee into woods and Duke Frederick also had a change of heart with Rosalind and banishes her. She flees with Celia and makes up a name called Ganymede while Celia names herself Aliena. Duke Frederick is furious and sends an army to look for Orlando and

In Euripides’s The Bacchae and in William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, I found the gender roles in these particular plays to be very interesting because this was my first exposure to cross-dressing in works of literature. In The Bacchae, women play a huge role because women are often portrayed as feminine and inferior in many past works, however, in The Bacchae, the women of Thebes decide to rebel against the men and join the Greek God of grape harvesting, wine, fertility, and partying, in the woods

Habitable zone. Habitable zone is the orbital region the bound around the star that has the characteristic most likely like Earth. Habitable zone must contain water in a form of liquid to support life. The extra-terrestrial life need the same requirement as the as Earth that is water in form of liquid. The star will live longer to give time for its planet to develop life. The planet will be in the best position from the star for the planet to make the water to remains consistent in liquid form

the idea of Orlando believing Ganymede is a real individual, rather than Rosalind in disguise. Rosalind (as Ganymede) states to Orlando, “I would cure you if you would but call me Rosalind and come every day to my cote and woo me.” (3.3.433-435). The premise of this ruse, staged by Rosalind, to dress as a male only to have Orlando speak to her as if she were Rosalind, is absurd. For if Orlando was truly in love with her, he would have been able to see that Ganymede is simply Rosalind in disguise

they choreography would include movement that was at a faster pace. But, during the winter, their movements were dragged; they moved as though the cold was getting to them. Another movement transformation was when Rosalind transformed into Ganymede. Because Ganymede is a man, Rosalind forced herself to walk as if she were a guy. They were some points in the show where she would forget she was disguised as man and would walk very upbeat and lady like. Rosalind would then have to change her voice inflection

The ridicule of love is a prominent theme throughout the play, most obvious though Phoebe’s interactions with love. She is the reason for Silvius’ borderline obsession, and frequently reasons why she does not want to be with him. Phoebe ridicules Silvius, an individual who oozes traditional pastoral views on love, which includes passionately longing for the person he believes to be his one true love, for having these very ideals. She ridicules the fact that Silvius stated that her “eyes can wound”

mythology, Aquarius was originated from the myth about a young boy named Ganymede. It was said that Zeus had taken an interest in young Ganymede and turned himself into an eagle to carry Ganymede to Mount Ide where he tended to Zeus by serving drinks. Then one day, young Ganymede decided not to serve Zeus drinks anymore and in turn poured out his wine and water, which created a flood. But, instead of getting angry, Zeus made Ganymede immortal;

Rosalind who is Ganymede in disguise. He was expressing his love to Jaques about Rosalind and wooing her with his amazing words. Jaques thought it was absolutely crazy and the worst thing for him to be in love. Rosalind came out of hiding and speaks to Orlando. She wants to know if he really loves her and if he wrote the letters on the trees. Orlando tells Ganymede in Act Three Scene Two “neither rhyme nor reason can express how much he loves Rosalind” (137). Orlando wishes Ganymede can relate to

there is an ironic twist when Phoebe falls for Ganymede, who himself is a pastoral character from myth. Ganymede has shown nothing but disdain for Phoebe, even outwardly pointing out her “foulness”, which made Phoebe “fall in love with” Ganymede’s “anger” (3.5.67-69). Despite Ganymede’s pleas for Phoebe to “not fall in love” with her because she is “falser than vows made in wine” and blatantly “likes [her] not” (3.5.72-74), Phoebe falls for Ganymede in a rather comedic situation. This turn of events

Io is Jupiter’s third largest moon and its fifth moon in terms of distance. Io is slightly larger than Earth’s moon, and is described by NASA as “Looking like a giant pizza covered with melted cheese and splotches of tomato and ripe olives” It is different from Jupiter’s other colder moons in that it is very volcanically active. In fact, Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system! Io’s environment is affected by a multitude of factors including gravitational pull, tides, volcanic

Juliet Dusinberre concludes that “The part of Rosalind manifests an awareness of gender as performance” (9). This statement is exemplified throughout the play as Rosalind is able to demonstrate the performance of gender through her portrayal of Ganymede, and how she is liberated by the ability to be seen in a different light. Gender as a performance is a concept that is particularly evident in Shakespeare’s time. Rosalind originally disguises herself in order to reach the forest safely. Once she

Rosalind (Ganymede) is trying to convince Phebe not to fall in love with her. Rosalind is revealing that she is falser than the promises a man may make while he's drunk (had to much wine). Meaning: To entertain and humour the audience as they know they real truth behind 'Ganymede' and the reasoning of why Phebe cannot fall in love with her. Dramatic and/or literary techniques: Metaphor 'vows made in wine'. Demonstrates Rosalind belongs to her disguise- the false person of 'Ganymede' that she

Celia's loyalty to Rosalind when he told Orlando that her cousin would have followed Rosalind with her father's banishment. However, that loyalty started to wear off once she saw Rosalind slowly fall in love with Orlando after changing into Ganymede. As Ganymede and Orlando acted out their homoerotic relationship, Rosalind confesses to Celia how much she is in love with Orlando. Rather than advising her, Celia sows discord on Rosalind's mind. She tells Rosalind that
