    Lisa Mcmann's The Unwanteds

    Once I read Lisa McMann’s book ‘The Unwanteds’ I thought it was a great story for two main reasons. First the way Lisa McMann described the setting was amazing. She used vivid details that helped the reader visualize the setting clearly. Second, she created some pretty fascinating characters with interesting backstories. Alex, for example. was separated from his brother who was basically the only person he cared about. Then he got transferred over to another world which was the complete opposite of Quill. These two main things combined make for an compelling storyline.…

    I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973," Susie Salmon tells us in the second sentence of The Lovely Bones. She shows us who did it—a neighbor everyone thinks is weird—and describes the horrible scene, a brutal assault and dismemberment in an underground hideout in a bleak winter cornfield.

    Kelley Armstrong's The Summoning

    For my book review I chose to read Kelley Armstrong's The Summoning. In my opinion, the book itself has an unresolved ending and is difficult to follow. As a whole trilogy, on the other hand, it's my favorite series. The purpose of this book review is to evaluate the book and how it fit together.…

    Judith Leyster's The Last Drop

    At the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I have selected “The Last Drop.” The painting was painted by Judith Leyster on 1609. It is done in oil on canvas and the size of the painting is almost the same like any others that about a foot wide, length and width. The condition of the painting seems to be in a new condition, as if the painting was never touched at all. The texture of this painting have a smooth and rigid touch to it. The painting is consisted of one man is sitting on a chair binge drinking that looks like an alcoholic beverage, the second man is seen standing wearing a flamboyant dress as he is seen dancing while smoking and holding a cup, as he seems to ignore the first guy. The third one is a skeleton lurking behind the man drinking,…

At any point in a persons lifetime, one may go through a journey- whether that journey takes place at a certain time or place, stemmed from a decision or the journey of ones existing lifetime.

    Leonard Cohen's Far From Any Road

    If you watched season one of HBO’s True Detective last year, then you are probably also curious about what season two will bring. One thing the new season will feature is a brand new theme song, written and performed by Leonard Cohen. The sparse, gravelly crooning of Cohen’s voice will color the television series’ opening credits a haunting shade of grizzly. The choice has been praised as apt and “badass” by Vulture Magazine.…
