    Comfort hair, created and finished by Yuni Kim Lang, did this because she wanted to use the concept of her Korean heritage in a picture that she can represent towards her background. She uses really long, black wigs and puts them to her canvas to later make a certain shape and figure with the hair and the person in it. Yuni Kim was born in Korea, but later moved with her parents to China. Comfort Hair was created based on how the hair is one of the main things that identifies many individuals' life. It is a sacred entity throughtout many years and the ways it has been treated. It can be seen as a social status sign and a dramatic social trends depending on how the new fashion has treated. The looks of this piece of art did not make me feel good. As I saw it, other emotions and questions came to me. I felt stressed, closed-in, and limited in space in the room I was in. As I spent a total of two to five minutes analyzing the image, I wondered why a long hair is needed? How did you manage to collect a certain amount of hair? Why have a white background and not another image behind that had more of a message? Confusion was also starting to rise…

    Culture sometimes informs the way one views others and the world. In the texts “My Mother Pieced Quilts” and “Everyday Use”, there are exemplary examples of how culture can positively or negatively affect one’s view of things. In “My Mother Pieced Quilts”, it talks about how Teresa Palomo Acosta is reflecting on her past moments that she had with her mother. They pieced quilts together in the past and each square represented something different. In “Everyday Use”, it talks about how a girl named Dee treats her family heritage. She attempts to change her name from Dee to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo. In these two texts, “My Mother Pieced Quilts” provides a positive example of how culture can affect the way we see objects.

    With German forces on the run following the Allied success at Normandy and the breakout and pursuit across France, Allied forces were staged to enter Germany in late summer 1944. Both Field Marshal Montgomery and General Bradley clamored to be given the priority of effort. General Eisenhower chose Montgomery’s Operation MARKET GARDEN as the plan for action. It called for airborne forces to open the route for a ground force to move more than sixty miles up a single road, ending up north of the Rhine River near Arnhem, Netherlands. By accomplishing this task, the German Ruhr industrial heartland would be within easy grasp. But the operation failed. The ground force did not make it to the last bridge; it was six more months before Allied forces crossed the Lower Rhine River near Arnhem. Between 17 and 26 September 1944, there were 17,000 Allied casualties including eighty percent of the 1st Airborne Division (UK). The historical evidence overwhelmingly shows that the British 1st Airborne Division lost the Battle of Arnhem because of poor planning. This paper will prove the failure of The Battle of Arnhem was not solely the fault of MG Roy Urquhart. Although this was his first command of such a division (being an "outsider") could he have not completed his wartime mission any better despite having inexperienced leaders planning airborne operations, bad intelligence, allowing the Air Force to plan the DZs based off what was best for the air movement plan and poor execution. This paper examines MG Urquhart, the commander of 1st Airborne Division (UK).…

    They are as green and spontaneous as nature herself. In their crystal clear mind nature lays deep impact which never withers. Children make their own toys with the elements of nature and drink life to the lees amid fruits and flowers, birds and animals, skies and rain. Apu’s love of nature begins with Pather Panchali-Song of the Road. He is, in fact, half man and half nature. He and his sister Durga use to enjoy the sweet rain which makes their faces as lovely as jasmine flowers usually after a shower. The rural landscape was their joy land of heaven. The green meadows, the vast canopy of sky, the rain-drops, the clouds- every natural object- all tell us of the never ending saga of life blended with happiness and misery. The jungle near their house has its deep impact on them to bring peace and consolation to their hearts despite their grim struggle for existence in the midst of poverty and snobbery of wealthier neighbours. They collect mangoes, make fun and feast in the forest, gather vegetables and remain untouched by the horrors of poverty. The Harihar’s family draws the sustenance from the natural environments. It is as though nature has her own resource to meet the needs of the dispossessed. Nature abounds in the gifts of fruits…
