    Guardian Angels (George L. Vivant Gallery) by Dorothea Tanning is an oil painting on canvas. It depicts a wing-like figure looming over a cloth covered landscape. Tanning chose a cool color scheme with just a hint of red at the bottom of the picture plane. The painting is abstract, we don’t know exactly what the wing-like figure is and female silhouettes can be seen infused into the figure. Through the use of detail and her color scheme Tanning successfully gives the appearance of an abstract dream world.…

    The mysterious Lisbon girls’ suicides is told to us by an anonymous boy that represents the group of boys that have loved, revered and wondered at the Lisbon girls and were the last to see them alive. In the scene wherein they get a hold of Cecilia’s diary, the director establishes just how much of a mystery these girls are to the boys. We are never given a clear picture as to the girls’ white-picket-fence suburban lives and the things that might have lead to Cecilia’s suicide; only rumors and gossip offered by neighbors, narrated by the boys; that’s why the diary serves as both a vehicle for the advancement of the plot and an important medium to communicate to us the Lisbon girls’ thoughts and feelings in a distant yet very personal way. The boys wanted to know what could have triggered the death of one them, and in knowing more about them, they come to fall in love with the elusive Lisbon girls. Even the diary prop, innocent in the way that it was made--with the stickers of rainbows, drawings of flowers, written in beautiful cursive--contained incredibly sad anecdotes about Cecilia and the girls. It was almost a foreshadowing of the things to come; how the innocent, angelic girls could commit suicide for no readily apparent reason.…

    Suburbia rarely accurately reflects the lifestyles its inhabitants lead. Instead it tries to project perfection and utopia, which is uncommon. Michael Cunningham’s short story “White Angel” is a tragic tale about two brothers that, despite their age gap, have an extraordinary relationship. Sixteen-year-old, Carlton is an eccentric free spirit and, although Bobby is only nine, his admiration for his older brother leads him into situations far beyond his years. The boys participate in defiant acts as an escape from the mediocrity of their suburban life. Bobby’s narration allows the reader to determine his status as a round character due to the trials he endures and maturity he gains towards the end of the story. Bobby’s character is credulous, rebellious, and aged beyond his years, all of which play a role in his use of escapism to avoid the harsh realities he encounters in his youth.…

    In the chapter Tandy, readers are given what appears to be a short break from the narrator’s destruction of the views of stable and complete heterosexual relationships by presenting the story of a young girl where a stable relationship is not presented but a suggestion about the way the young girl should act is presented as a solution. A stranger appears and becomes friends with Tom Hard. The stranger begins to talk to the little girl and give her some advice. The stranger seems to describe a feeling that some other female characters have described as having a feeling but having no one or way to present this feeling. After this, the stranger explains that “they think it’s easy to be a woman, to be loved, but I know better… I understand… perhaps…
