I need please an explanation of the values, influences, themes, techniques, subjects and characteristics of the period of style for Bernini's...

First let's
consider that Bernini is, in every sense, "a Renaissance man". Not only was he versed
in sculpture as an artist, but he was also an architect, a historian, poet, dramatist, and avid
in literature. Bernini read the diary of St. Teresa de Avila's The Life of Saint
Teresa of vila by herself, Chapter 29, where she explains how one of her may
visions led her to the Via Unitiva, one of the three Renaissance Catholic communions that
extreme Catholics such as Theresa, and San Juan de la Cruz, to cite another example, would
engage into to ultimately meet with God. In her writings, Teresa said that, to her left side,
she saw an angel that, out of nowhere came and stabbed her with a spear that..

was so severe that it made me utter several moans. The sweetness
caused by this intense pain is so extreme that one cannot possibly wish it to cease, nor is ones
soul then content with anything but God..

These
seemingly extreme ways were common in 16th century Spain. Bernini wanted to...

Why did Judge Taylor appoint Atticus to Tom's case?

In

Idlers Club comment that Judge Taylor appointedto defend Tom Robinson. Judge Taylor specifically
chose Atticus to defend Tom Robinson instead of the inexperienced Maxwell Green because he
believes in justice and knew that Atticus would valiantly defend Tom. Following the trial, Miss
Maudie explains to the children that numerous people in Maycomb's community supported Atticus
and Tom Robinson. She makes sure to bring up the fact that Judge Taylor specifically chose
Atticus because he believed Tom was innocent and knew Atticus would defend him to the best of
his ability. Judge Taylor's decision to appoint Atticus reveals that he values justice and
equality. He is aware that Atticus is a morally-upright man and trusts that he would not succumb

several personal reasons for defending Tom Robinson. Atticus is a morally upright man who
believes that African Americans should be treated equally. He also realizes that Tom Robinson is
innocent and feels like it is his responsibility to protect Tom from the racist community
members of Maycomb. Atticus also stated that he could not live with himself if he did not defend

role model for his children. Atticus wants to lead by example and valiantly defends Tom Robinson

What are several of the major themes in Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe?

's
novel  tells the story of a man cast away on an isolated island who
attempts to create a life for himself. An important thing to note in reading the novel is that
Daniel Defoe was himself a Dissenter and a strong advocate for the rights of Dissenters to
freedom of conscience. Many of his 's spiritual developments reflect this.

The first theme in the book is one of survival. In his experience being shipwrecked,
Crusoe must think about what is absolutely necessary for physical survival. 

The theme of survival leads to a second theme, which is awareness that in our lives in
civilization we constantly long for many things we do not actually need. Thus Crusoe reflects on
the theme, or sin, of covetousness:

Those people cannot
enjoy comfortably what God has given them because they see and covet what He has not given them.
All of our discontents for what we want appear to me to spring from want of thankfulness for
what we have.

The next theme is spiritual growth. Away
from the regular life of civilization Crusoe begins to understand that religion does not require
elaborate rituals or priests, but faith, a position which was the central tenet of many
Dissenters. 

Another important theme is the value of self-sufficiency and
hard work. Crusoe makes a life for himself on the island by setting goals and achieving them
through self-discipline and hard work, a point that might be expressed in Virgil's phrase
"labor omnia vincit."

Another major theme is
colonialism as it appears in Crusoe's relationship to Friday, which is a microcosm of the
British empire's relationships with indigenous peoples.

An additional theme
is fear. It is only by overcoming his fears that Crusoe can create a happy life on the
island.

A final theme is money, which is essential in the civilized world,
but useless in the world of the island.
