    State V. Stewart Case Study

    For example, Dr. Hutchinson’s testimony about Peggy’s “repressed knowledge she was in what was really a gravely lethal situation.” Hutchinson testified that Peggy’s “cycle of violence” contributed to her reasoning for not leaving her abusive husband; further into the text, Hutchinson explained that since Peggy was consistently abused mentally, emotionally and sexual by Mike, then wooed by him, that she only participated in the relationship simply hoping to get “pass” the abuse to what she considered as “love.” Thus, leading Peggy to a frightening state of helplessness. Together with Hutchinson’s statements, Dr. Moldin also held a very important factor in the case. Dr. Moldin described that the oral sexual abuse “would not be trauma sufficient to trigger post-traumatic stress disorder,” with this being said, Moldin did not contribute nor oppose to the theories that Hutchinson described to the jurors about then “battered woman…

    Queen Elizabeth By Beatrice Johnson: Painting Analysis

    They say a picture is worth a thousands words I agree with that a picture can say a lot to the viewer, same thing with a painting. The photograph and painting I chose to write about is about Queen Elizabeth. The photograph of Queen Elizabeth was taken in 1952 by Beatrice Johnson and it shows Queen Elizabeth wearing a beautiful crown,a yellow patterned dress, with a sash, and diamond jewelry. In the picture the queen has a slight smile not showing any teeth because, it’s a type of picture where it’s taken serious. What I mean by that is she is someone that is well known and that photograph shows her royalty and her importance by wearing her crown.…

    Artemia's Self-Portrait As The Allegory Of Painting Analysis

    Women in History: Artemisia Gentileschi’s Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting Surrounded by portraits of and by male artists, Artemisia Gentileschi’s (1593-1652) oil on canvas Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting (La Pittura) 1638-39 stands out in the midst of Vancouver Art Gallery’s “The Royal Collections: Portrait of the Artist” exhibition. As one of the only woman artist portraits, it pronounces itself in entirety to symbolise the prominence she has given females in history as she paints herself as La Pittura. She depicts herself not as females had been seen before, but as a hard working artist in the MIDST of creating a work of art. One of the most recognizable writers of Artemisia’s Self-Portrait and Biography Mary D. Garrard had stated “[she] made an audacious claim upon the core of artistic tradition, to create an entirely new image that was quite literally unavailable to any male artist]”, and this is dominant reasoning for the intrigue Artemisia contains as a historical female figure…
