Explanation:
Ancient Egyptians worshipped many animals for thousands of years. Animals were revered for different reasons. Dogs were valued for their ability to protect and hunt, but cats were thought to be the most special. Egyptians believed cats were magical creatures, capable of bringing good luck to the people who housed them.
To honor these treasured pets, wealthy families dressed them in jewels and fed them treats fit for royalty. When the cats died, they were mummified. As a sign of mourning, the cat owners shaved off their eyebrows, and continued to mourn until their eyebrows grew back. Art from ancient Egypt shows statues and paintings of every type of feline. Cats were so special that those who killed them, even by accident, were sentenced to death.
According to Egyptian mythology, gods and goddesses had the power to transform themselves into different animals. Only one deity, the goddess named Bastet, had the power to become a cat. In the city of Per-Bast, a beautiful temple was built, and people came from all over to experience its splendor.

Is this for Driver's Ed? If so, here's my answer:
There is always a double-cross, or white x, sign before the crossing and/or a white x painted on the road to warn you of the upcoming railroad crossing.
If there are warning lights and/or arms at the crossing, you: turn off your radio and roll down the window to listen for the train. If the lights are flashing and/or the arms are down, a train is coming. If not, there is no train coming. You must stop before the white line, look both ways down the track. You are free to cross when the arms are all the way back up and there are no lights flashing AFTER you look both ways while listening for the train.
If there are no warning lights or arms at the crossing, you: stop before the white line, turn off the radio, and roll down the window to listen for a train. As you are stopped, you look both ways down the track. If you can't hear or see the train, you are free to cross. Make sure to keep at least 3 feet of distance between you and the track. However, to insure that nothing will come up and hit your car, you can always stop a good distance away from the white line, but still make sure you can see down the track.
This is very long-winded, but you can condense it.
1. Theatricality and drama. Monteverdi is the pioneer of opera as a dramatic fusion of music and text. Caravaggio's paintings are extremely dramatic and even theatrical. The faces are expressive, and never in a conventional way - they are angry, bored, sexually aroused, corrupt, decayed. It is never a passive representation of a scene. It is always brimming with drama.
2. The strange mixture of sacred and profane. Caravaggio used street hoodlums for models when he painted sacred scenes (e.g. The Calling of St. Matthew), and he painted courtesans in a dignified manner. Monteverdi's Poppea ("L'incoronazione di Poppea") is a courtesan lover of Nero, the Roman emperor. The two of them have extremely passionate and sensual duets together, including the tender "'Pur ti miro" at the end of the opera.
3. Music as inspiration. Caravaggio often painted musicians with lutes and other instruments. Monteverdi not only composed opera, but composed opera about music - his L'Orfeo is a piece about the sheer power of music and its impact on the world.
4. Fascination with dark corners of human psyche. Caravaggio obsessed over irrational, wicked, flawed personalities. Monteverdi also puts them in the center of all his major works. Even though he is a half-god, his Orfeo is very flawed and might even be considered weak, as he errs all the time. His Nero is extremely depraved. Even his madrigals couldn't just be simple love songs - they are called "Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi" - "Love and War Madrigals".
