Extra Blog

(Extra Credit Blog, who couldn't use a little extra credit.) 

What work (literary or artistic) that we have studied during the Roman, Middle Ages, or Renaissance time periods, do you think most fully exemplifies being "virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy"? Use specific examples to support your argument.


I believe that of all the works we studied in this second half of the summer term, Michelangelo's David would be hands down the one that most fully exemplifies these qualities.  He was a speaker of words, and a doer of deeds, and the ultimate symbol of triumph.  He shows what the power of an individual's accomplishment, and what can come from doing what you need to do, and having God on your side.  It truly is an amazing piece of work.
