First Principle David Hensen Analysis
In “First Principle,” David Hensen does not see the beauty in the Martians that they see in themselves, he is too busy criticizing them and calling them names, therefore, he never gets the chance to see the true beauty in the Martians. He does not see the beauty in the Martians because he does not want to accept the fact that he might become one as well. His fear of having to change into something/someone else is his fear. He does no want to be green or have multiple arms like Gina or the martians. David wants to be back to his normal lifestyle but he can never go back to his life that he calls noramal. David wants to be himself and he does not want to change for anyone or anything, even if he has to go one step too far.

    1. Randy Pausch, the author of The Last Lecture, remains stagnant throughout the novel. He has always been a creative, optimistic, and light-hearted person, and stays that way through most of the book.

    The artist that peeked my interest the most within the, Art 21: Time video was Paul Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer appears to me as a man who understand the significance of his surroundings. Like myself Pfeiffer is attracted to events that bring in a crowd like sporting events, he works on showing the relationship between objects, what is around the object, and what role the object plays where it is. Pfeiffer even believed of himself as a translator not an author, meaning that what he is showing in his art isn’t his own he is recycling these materials, and displaying them in his own perspective, which I believe is very humble of him to admit.…

    The poem “David”, written by Earle Birney is a very emotional and allure piece. The major theme that pursues throughout the whole poem is maturity. Which includes the beginning of such, and all the obstacles that must be overcome. The tone is a very cynical one, especially when David asks Bob to push him off the cliff. Birney also uses figurative language and poetic devices to create an element of tension, complexity and emotion.…
