    Beguiling Lore

    In this essay I will attempt to analyze the artwork named “Beguiling Lure “ by Isaac Talley , 2009. The medium of this artwork is acrylic and oil on canvas. The composition is simple with the main focus being a dangling object and a portrait of a single bird. The multi coloring of the background is bright and soft with dark and light hues. The artist was able to deliver the paint onto the canvas in different directions and angles which gives the appearance of overlapping colors,roughness and an uneven texture. There is a small horizontal space that has been left blank and untouched in the middle of the canvas that provides a dividing line separating the upper portion of the painting from the lower portion. Even though there is no similarities in the main two subjects in the painting the artist brings balance, proportion and unity to his work by using the same background colors and patterns from top to bottom.…

    Storytelling In The Things They Carried Essay

    Alan Moore, the creator of the comic V for Vendetta, once stated, “Artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie. But because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.” In the quote moore describes the power that storytelling has on people. He explains to us that just because there is lies in the story, that doesn't mean that we cannot take something away from it. Similarly in the novel, The Things They Carried, the author, Tim O’Brien, uses stories to tell us about his time serving in the war in Vietnam. And even though most of these stories are not entirely true, that does not mean we cannot learn from them. Storytelling is a tool that allows soldiers and people, to escape the brutal hardships they face in everyday life, and create their own world and stories of “the truth,” and in the end it’s these stories that allow us to be happy and deal with that real life struggle.…

    Myths and Legends Long way gone

    Myths and Legends that are retold by Beah in a long way gone served an important part in a village’s culture and lifestyle. Being told from mouth to mouth for generations, these stories played a key role in ceremonies that helped teach children about morals and explain the world they live in. When Beah is with his group of friends Musa decides to pass the time by telling a common story and asks them to listen, “My mother told me that whenever a story is told, it is worth listening to”(pg.74), he then begins to tell the story of Bra Spider. This story is about a spider that wanted to participate in all the feasts. So the spider began to create a plan. He gave ropes to all the chiefs of the village and asked them to pull on the ends when their feast was about to begin. On the day of the feasts Bra Spider secured the ropes to his waist. Unfortunately, for Bra Spider, all the feasts began at the same time. So when the food was ready the chiefs began to pull and poor Bra Spider was pulled from all directions. This tale serves as an origin story to how the spider got its small waistline. At that time, these kinds of tales served as an explanation in villages to explain the world around them. Another one of the myths that touches upon morals is the story of the hunter and the monkey. In this particular story there is a hunter who is hunting a monkey and confronts the animal. The monkey speaks and tells him that if the hunter lets him go his father will die but if he shoots his mother will die. This story was told to the children in the village every year. In addition they were asked if they were in the hunter’s position what would they do? With the story lingering in their mind, it brings the kids together and closer when answering the question. Certainly, Myths and Legends are indeed a part of culture and serves to teach us no matter the age.…

    Diversity In Traditional Tales Essay

    Diversity plays an important part in traditional tales. I deeply understand that culture background can shape everything in traditional tales because multiculturalism has affected my thinking incessantly. I grew up in an era with the company of a unique mix of culture from China, Japan, and other western countries. Although Huck (2014) stress the reason of why do some people create traditional tales by saying “they created stories that helped explain the world” (p.103), the world can be explained differently via diverse culture.…

    Creation Stories

    Where do we come from? The creation of the world has for centuries been told through many different stories, in different languages, and from a variety of religions across the world. The founders of each religion developed every creation story, and as religions vary greatly in beliefs, so do their stories of how the world and mankind were created. Although many of these creation stories differ, they have a close mystical and spiritual bind that brings people together. Two particular creation stories from very diverse religions are that of the Native Americans and the Christians. Unlike Christians who worship one god, Native Americans worship two high gods as well as a variety of natural and supernatural forces. Although both stories may differ from one another in determining their belief of creation, they both are similar in which both religions believe that through ceremonies and worship that they will be at harmony with god. Through their creation stories we can interperate their understanding of the world around them, how they view life, and how they are compatible and incompatible with one another.…
