Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than
I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes goes so little that there’s none of him at all.
He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close behind me, he’s a coward you can see;
I’d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
In the style of Franz Marc, create a horse startled from his rest. The horse is in a grassy field, fenced, with mountains in the background. The horse is a light tan with dark mane. The horse is sensitive to a coyote nearby, emerging from a stand of Ponderosa pines. The atmosphere is quiet and calm with some morning fog misting around.

An Asian Slice
At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night,
A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap.  Someone might think he’s sleeping.  He’s smoking heroin.  Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn.

Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley, 
hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad.  Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy.  Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.
"A historically accurate depiction of a Ghost Dance, focusing on the late 19th-century context, specifically around 1890-1891. The scene shows Lakota (Sioux) or Northern Paiute people (specify one or include elements of both, but avoid anachronisms) participating in the ceremony.

Setting: A vast, open prairie or high desert landscape, under an expansive sky. The time of day could be dusk or night, with a prominent moon or stars, or a bright, clear day. Avoid overtly spiritual or ethereal elements like floating spirits unless explicitly requested for a later, more symbolic iteration. The focus should be on the earthly ceremony.

Participants: A circle of men, women, and children, hand-in-hand, moving in a slow, rhythmic shuffle or circular motion. Their faces show a mixture of devotion, hope, and determination. Some may have expressions of trance or deep concentration.

Attire:

    Ghost Dance Shirts/Dresses: Emphasize the unique Ghost Dance shirts and dresses, which were typically made of muslin or canvas. These garments should feature painted designs such as stars, crescents, birds (especially eagles or crows), buffalo, human figures, or crosses. The designs should appear hand-painted, not mass-produced.

    Hair and Adornments: Participants should have braided hair or wear it long. Some may wear feathers (e.g., eagle or hawk feathers) in their hair. Minimal traditional adornments, as the focus was often on the Ghost Dance shirt itself. Avoid overly elaborate or Hollywood-esque depictions of war bonnets unless relevant to a specific individual and context.

    Footwear: Moccasins or bare feet.

Action/Atmosphere:

    The dancers are moving in a counter-clockwise circle, with a central figure or a small group often leading.

    The overall mood is one of earnest prayer and communal spiritual effort. The dance should convey a sense of hope for renewal and the return of the old ways, rather than aggression or despair.

    There might be a central pole or small fire as a focal point, around which the dance takes place.

    Avoid any signs of direct conflict or violence; the Ghost Dance itself was a non-violent spiritual movement.

Specific Considerations for Accuracy:

    Wovoka's Influence: The teachings of Wovoka (the Northern Paiute prophet) emphasized peace, hard work, and the return of the buffalo and deceased ancestors. The scene should subtly reflect this hopeful, redemptive spirit.

    Regional Variations: If focusing on Lakota, consider their specific interpretations, which sometimes included more imagery related to their warrior traditions on the shirts, but still within the peaceful framework of the dance.

    Respectful Portrayal: Ensure the depiction is respectful and avoids any stereotypical or caricatured representations of Indigenous people. Focus on their human dignity and spiritual sincerity.
Oil Painting Art Style, a detailed male Northern Bobwhite Quail, its distinctive head markings and feather patterns clearly rendered with rich brushwork, peeking from behind a cluster of vivid, textured fall leaves on the ground. The quail's eyes are sharp and alert. Behind it, an old, weathered, rustic red barn is depicted with strong brushstrokes, showing its aged timber and flaking paint, under a slightly overcast, softly lit autumn sky. The setting is a quintessential Eastern farm in the mountains of Tennessee, with the surrounding hills hinted at in deep, autumnal tones. Focus on the tactile quality of the painted textures, the depth and richness of the autumn colors, and the enduring charm of the rural scene.

Cinematic Documentary Photography, Warm Analog Film Grain, Golden Hour Backlighting. A high-energy, joyful shot of a young Appalachian woman with a mane of long, fiery red hair playing a dobro resonator guitar on a weathered log cabin porch.

The Action & "Lively" Feel: She is seated with the guitar flat across her lap, caught in a moment of pure musical passion, her head tilted back in a laugh. Her long red hair is swirling around her face, catching the orange sunset light like glowing copper.

The Slide Detail: Her left hand is firmly gripping a heavy, polished chrome steel tone bar (slide), gliding it masterfully across the strings. The bar is a focal point, catching a brilliant glint of sunlight as it creates a soulful, sliding resonance. Her right hand is a blur of motion, using metal fingerpicks to pluck the strings near the bridge.

The Environment: The dobro's signature round metal resonator plate reflects the rustic porch and the sky. In the background, the hazy, rolling blue ridges of the Appalachian mountains stretch toward a soft, dusky horizon. The atmosphere is rustic, authentic, and vibrating with sound.

A detailed photograph of a complete, hand-carved set of unique pirate-themed chess pieces arranged loosely on a weathered wooden captain's desk alongside old charts and a compass. The pieces are crafted from a mix of dark aged oak, tarnished cast brass, and accents of stolen gold and rough rubies.

The Ranks:

    The King (Captain): The tallest piece, an imposing Pirate Captain figure with a grand tricorn hat, a long beard, a detailed cutlass, and one boot resting on a miniature treasure chest.

    The Queen (Quartermaster/Pirate Lord): A fierce, elegant female figure with dual flintlock pistols, a flowing coat, and a stern, commanding expression.

    The Bishops (Navigators/Voodoo Priests): Hunched figures holding sextants and mystical skull staffs, adorned with beads and feathers.

    The Knights (Boarding Party): Dynamic pieces showing a pirate mid-swing on a rope, holding a grappling hook and a boarding axe.

    The Rooks (The Ship/Fort): Heavy, fortified pieces shaped like the barnacle-covered stern castle of a galleon, bristling with tiny cannons.

    The Pawns (The Crew): A group of smaller, identical scruffy deckhands holding mops, buckets, and simple daggers.

The focus is sharp on the intricate textures of the wood grain and metalwork.

Siu Zi is a 10 year old Chinese girl in Guangzhou. Late one humid evening, Siu Zi's father meets with a discreet man known simply as Mr. Chen.  In a quiet corner of a small teahouse near the back alleys of Guangzhou, Mr. Chen explains, in careful whispers, how he can help the family obtain the documents they needed to leave the country safely. Other patrons are in the teahouse, and a waiter stands nearby, but nobody can hear what Mr. Chen is saying.  It's safe to talk here.
