A composers’ representation of conflicting perspectives deliberately shape our acceptance of their point of view through deliberate selection and emphasis of dynamic textual elements. Such manipulation is demonstrated in Ted Hughes’ 1998 anthology Birthday Letters through the poems, “Fulbright Scholars” and “Your Paris”; employing the poetic medium to craft a personal response to his contentious relationship with wife, Sylvia Plath. Similarly, Sam Mendes 1999 film American Beauty explores a dysfunctional
While visiting the Dallas Museum of Art, I was intrigued by the Soziale Fassade (Social Façade) works created by the German artist Isa Genzken in 2002. There was one in particular that caught my attention the most, but it did not have a specific name. As I observed this piece of art, I felt that the artist had used many elements of art and principles of design that made this piece so interesting to me and I also realized that I could closely relate it to the short story “Blow-Up” by Julio Cortazar

What constitutes as romantic love has been a topic of discussion for centuries. While there are multiple views on what romantic love includes, there is no question that it is one of the most prevalent, yet controversial, matters in society. In this paper, I will compare the theories on romantic love from the views of Heloise and Beauvoir in contrast with my own opinions. “The Love Letters of Abelard and Heloise” presents a passion filled journey of an affair between a student, Heloise, and her
The paper by Horace Miner “Body Ritual among the Nacirema” is considered one of the most popular articles in social sciences. It even has its own page on Wikipedia, which increases its popularity among not only anthropologists and scholars, but also ordinary people. There are certainly some reasons why this article became so illustrious, and the major ones are the direction of satire, language choice and academic validity. Undoubtedly, the author wrote “Body rituals among Nacirema” in a satiric way
Music is able to reflect a composer’s emotion, personality and personal experiences. It reflects the outlook on the world and life and values. “Vibration sense, sound sense, is ancient, visceral, and inextricably linked to old and deep emotional centers in the brain, a fact that allows composers to access and dialogue with their audience at a deep level” (Douek, 2013). It refers to the typical emotion of music. The composer has to have the same or similar emotional experience with the presence and
Punk, rebel, hoodlum, and criminal so often come to mind when thinking about skateboarders. A hobby that grew popular in the 1990’s, the sport is commonly associated with vandalism, crime, and profanity; however, when taken under a microscope skating is not what it is often perceived to be. Though it is a competitive sport across America, it is more often used as a fun transportation system.

When translating a work of written static word to the vibrant active astatic canvas of a motion picture many changes and sacrifices must be made in order to have it fit with in an allowed time, remove unnecessary elements, modernize and so forth. Thus we are to be expecting to find major differences when viewing the two mediums. The legend of Beowulf, the collection of The Canterbury Tales and the tragedy of Macbeth had to make some small additions and necessary subtractions in their move to modern
referenced in the education of art but also while I was looking around for a topic to write about I came across it and it was so captivating. The way everything is placed within allows the eyes to wander as though you discovered something new every time you look at it. This piece is world renowned for its ability of capturing some of the great themes of human and nature. When I am looking at a painting I always try to see the artist in the work because I feel that each piece of art you create shows a piece
reflected in the mirrors that reverberate them from one end of the theatre to the other.” It is this famed nightclub that features as Edouard Manet’s subject in his equally famous painting, A Bar at the Foiles-Bergere. Manet’s painting sparked the modern art community’s psyche, his skewed use of perspective and blunt portrayal of a late 1800’s
