    Lutie Johnson In Ann Petry's The Street

    In a competition between man and nature, nature more often claims victory. Pitted against tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, nothing man made is permanent. In an excerpt taken from Ann Petry's novel, The Street, the main character Lutie Johnson is antagonized by the tumultuous winds that inhabit the town, along with the frigid cold. Using such literary elements as dark imagery, descriptive selection to detail and appalling personification, Petry successfully captures Johnson's relationship with the urban setting.…

    Melanie Mcadams In Sweet Home Alabama

    When does a person go from a stranger to a best friend? Professor McAdams (1995) has conjured up two imperative levels to distinguish relationships. In the movie Sweet Home Alabama (2002), Melanie Smooter/Carmichael, displays these two imperative levels. Melanie lived a double life from the Civil Wars reenactment daughter to a big city fashion designer. The beautiful, insecure character has her brain all over the place. In her new life she is full of openness, but back home she’s known around town for having high levels of extroversion. The Big Five traits make up the level of dispositional traits with conscientiousness, openness, extraversion, neuroticism, and agreeableness (McAdams, 1995). Level one could be a beginner level or a stranger…

    Fiona Hall and Damien Hirst

    Damien Hirst’s ‘For the Love of God’ is platinum casting of a human skull that is encrusted with high quality diamonds but has a feature of human teeth. The sculpture reflects the idea of death but tries to distinguish the difference between the negative side of death and the positive. Hirst wanted his work to be very positive even though it was based around death, which is why he also used the theme of vanity to create the work. Fiona Hall’s artwork ‘Lotus’ from the collection of works Paradisus Terrestris is based around the idea of human vs. nature. The artwork is created from aluminium and a sardine tin that has been pulled back to reveal the stomach of a human body. The series also refers to the paradise of Australia and Sri Lanka, especially this artwork that features the lotus flower, also known as the temple flower. ‘There are more genetic similarities between us and the plant world than there are differences’ – Fiona Hall.…

    I stood there, standing on her front porch like an idiot. And she told me to leave. And there I was. I had done everything right. I got straight A's, I was on varsity soccer, I was the newspaper editor, I had tons of friends, and I wasn't good enough. I never was good enough for anything, was I? Everything I did was because I thought my parents would like me if I did it. Who was I? It wasn't until I was standing on those front steps, the house still shaking with the vibrations of a slammed door, when I realized I was never going to be good enough.…

    Story Of The Extra Ordinary Girl Analysis

    Once upon a time there was a girl who was kind of an idiot but people still liked her because she was not ugly and okay at sports. She was 17. Nothing was really wrong with her, per say, but was anything really right? Probably not. Anyway, one day in this once upon a time this girl was walking along the road, minding her own business. I should probably mention now that in the world this girl lived, no one could hear. Don’t get too excited, she couldn’t either. Like I said, she wasn’t anything special. But as she was walking along this road, something interesting happened. It was in the middle of the day in a suburban neighborhood, so about as boring as a setting could get. No one, especially not this girl, could ever guess what would happen to her next.…
