    This painting is by Ellen Plankey, it is untitled and a pastel. For the purposes of this paper, I’ll call it “Young Girl on Blanket”. This is a picture of a young woman sitting on what appears to be a blanket. She’s looking off to her right and is wearing a dark blue skirt and a baby blue cloth around her head as a wrap. She’s topless, but how it’s shadowed only one of her breasts is very prominent; the other blurred by shadow. She’s surrounded by plants, all of which are leafy bushes. The sky in the back peeking through the leaves is a pale orange, almost a faded salmon color. The shadows on her body are splotched from the openings between the leaves. All of which is very soft. “Young Girl on Blanket” uses intermediate colors; soft shades of pink, blue, green and orange. All of the lines are curved in this, even the blankets edge ripples over what appears to be grass, which rounds the edge of it so that it doesn’t seem like a rectangle but instead a boxy oval. The girl’s body is curvy, not overly so, just enough so that her femininity shines through. Also, the only lines that are solid are the outline of her and her…

    In the reading “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie, the author describes his own experience of how kids and himself were treated by society during his childhood for being part of a different background. In the reading I noticed how the author shows us ways that he has become the person he is by the influence of his family, particularly his dad who sparked his passion toward reading books. In my essay I implemented an additional family factor other than my father and sister; I included my brother. He impacted how I treat people that are constantly looked down by society. In addition, I have grown from my brother’s death and as an effect I have matured as a person and a writer.…

    “On the Beach” is a surreal journey into the darkness of the Nuclear Age. Our age. As a scientific phenomenon, the nuclear age began in 1945 with the explosion of the first nuclear bomb. But in world relations the nuclear age really began about ten years later. Until nearly the end of the forties, the United States was the only nuclear power in the world. In 1949, the Soviet Union exploded a nuclear device. But it was not until the middle of the fifties that the Soviet Union began to have an armory of nuclear weapons. Beginning about 1955, the West had ceased to have a monopoly of nuclear weapons, and by the end of the 1950s, the Soviet Union had become a very formidable nuclear power. Since 1955 there have existed in the world two rival and conflicting coalitions armed with nuclear weapons. They are in conflict at many points on the globe. They distrust profoundly each other's purposes. In the story author Nevil Shute uses the fear of nuclear annihilation to show the reader what could have happened to the world had the U.S. or the Soviet Union actually fired their arsenal of atomic weapons.…

The consequences set for hubris sexual predators are less than ideal for the victims in “Audrie and Daisy”.

She lives day by day relying on the support of her family and friends. Daisy continuously hopes that justice will soon be served to the boy who sexual abused her. But, being the grandson of a town official may have an effect on the leniency provided to the oppressor. Daisy feels as if it is her fault as she is the one who is blamed for the act committed by Matthew Barnett.…

    In “Those Winter Sundays” Robert Hayden conveys a parent’s love for their family. He does not understand why his father is so resilient to provide for his family, nor does he question it. The author speaks of his astonishment in lines 19-20 where he says, “What did I know, what did I know of love’s austere and lonely offices.” Another subject shown by the author is isolation because although his father works each and every day out of love, he leaves his child without a father. He exemplifies his pity in lines 16-18, “Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the old and polished my good shoes as well.”…
