Kate Cooper's Song 'Postcards'
Kate Cooper and Damon Cox make up the duo who form An Horse, a hip indie rock band from Australia. An Horse has been on and off the scene since 2007, and Kate Cooper recently came out with her self-entitled album, Cooper.

In 2008, An Horse's single "Postcards" was featured in a Mercedes-Benz TV advertisement.

"Postcards" is about the tumultuous cycles through which relationships travel. The video for "Postcards" starts with the band members of An Horse painting a body shape on a craft table. The band constructs this body – from the vessels up – by hand, drawing and painting paper organs, bones, skin, and clothes.

"Postcards" was created using the stop-motion technique of filmmaking (think "Gumby"), meaning that pictures were taken of the

    Susan Musgrave's You Didn 'T Fit'

    Individual characteristics and traits are what initiate and drive an ever-changing society. Individuality sparks innovation, keeps life captivating, and forces society to continue to grow. However, society also is the first place where individuality is not accepted or misunderstood. The idea of not fitting into society can be viewed as a painful experience. In Susan Musgrave’s poem “You Didn’t Fit,” she aims to show how no one fits into social norms. The poem intends to show how people believe they need to reach certain standards to be accepted and to find love, but in reality, everyone should be trying to stand out.…

    Bono Wannabe's 'Red': A Review Of Paintings

The vision he had thought on for 4 months just wouldn’t come, it just couldn’t be converted into the frame.…

    Kelly Gallagher's 'Write Like This'

    Kelly Gallagher states very clearly the dirty little secret of schools in America in chapter 1 of his 2011 book, Write Like This. He declares, “In other words, seven out of ten students are leaving schools without the necessary skills to actively participate in either civic life or in the global economy” (Wiens). These startling statistics should disturb you, and, if nothing is done, there’s only room for future generations’ stats to get worse. If you’re a parent put in the position of telling your teenager exactly why they should spend a whole thirteen years of their life getting an education when they’ve already learned, how to read, write, and do simple math, basic skills, and they throw this statistic at you, what do you do?

    Symbolism And Imagery In Frances Stephenson Orr's Life

    A pair of heels symbolizes a part of the nightlife Frances enjoyed that arthritis had taken from her; partying and being active was no longer an option. Shoes such as heels were no longer a possibility, as arthritis had contorted her feet to the point that they could no longer even fit into a pair. The inclusion of symbolism opening the viewer to her personal losses effectively spreads the message of hopelessness and sadness the painting was made to portray. Another One of the personal struggles that Frances faced when dealing with arthritis was her inability to use a typewriter normally. To be able to write down her thoughts or to write letters to her friends and family she had to push the keys of the typewriter with a pencil, which was included to represent her difficulty to communicate. Painting was one of the easiest and most effective ways for her to communicate, and the inclusion of her hardships to do so through the pencil make the message of this illustration more powerful, as the reader understands the importance of Frances’ paintings as a means of communication. I believe that the inclusion of personal items in painting is an effective to symbolically display a message, and Frances’ placement of a pencil clearly communicated her distress when it comes to her…

    Grace Metalious's Peyton Place

    In 1956, a woman from middle class Manchester, New Hampshire wrote a book that shocked the nation. At 32 years old, Grace Metalious wrote the blockbuster novel Peyton Place. It transformed the publishing industry and made the author one of the most talked about people in the nation. Metalious wrote about incest, abortion, sex, rape, adultery, repression, lust, and the secrets of small town New England, things that were never discussed before in conservative America. She interpreted incest, wife beating, and poverty as social failures instead of individual flops. When Metalious published Peyton Place, the country was in the grasp of a new wave of sexual panic. The book turned the "private" into the "political." The avant-garde disturbed the…

    Brighton Rock - Sympathy

    At the beginning of the novel, from the reader’s perspective Spicer gives the impression of being a young boy, in particular with his refusal to eat after they have murdered Hale. “I’ll be sick...if I eat” The Boy then responds with “Spew then”, this suggests that Spicer has a weakness especially within the group. As well as this it implies that Spicer regrets or feels a large amount of emotion towards the act they have just committed unlike Pinkie who seems totally unfazed. However, as the book continues we learn that Spicer is an older man as we are told of his “spots” that appear as well as “upset...bowels”, his “carroty” hair and his “scarred” nose. The sympathy the reader felt before then changes to loathing, as these new descriptions create an unattractive image for the reader. As well as this his earlier weakness now comes across as spineless and almost pathetic. We also learn that Spicer used to be a Jew “but a hairdresser and surgeon had altered that”. This reiterates the point that Spicer is spineless as he can’t even stand by his religion unlike Pinkie who has very strong religious views.…

    Article Summary Paper 1 –Vermeer’s Annunciation

    The author starts off describing this sudden urge and desire to view a painting he has seen so many times in reproduction – The Painting of the woman with necklace. The author spent 2 hours in the gallery observing minute details of this painting alone. He views it so close up that his nose was almost on the painting and the guard had to kind of waive him off and then he studied the painting from several different directions. He was paying attention to every minute detail such as clothing, colors, shades, folds, texture and elements of the painting ,and he was referring to some critics point of view and making a point to look at the painting with a fresh eye. The painting had him engrossed so much like no other painting ever before. The painting was like urging him and telling a total different story than critics’ views.…
