Assignment One!

I'm ecstatic!!!!!
I've just submitted my first assignment for VIS18 - Introduction to Visual Culture
I am so excited that I made it! I was having so much trouble just getting started and I came very close to giving up! I am pleased that I didn't of course! Once I get started I really enjoy the writing, and I get right into it, but it is so painful getting started.
I have to seriously design a better action plan to prevent that terror in the future!

When I work out how, I shall attach a link to it so you can read it....

You are Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
