Circular saw

In the 1870’s, as westward expansion was consuming white American ideology, another American ideology, and way of life, was being demolished. The indigenous population in America has been commercialized, and in the 21st century most people regard Native Americans as casino owners or models for their Halloween costume. However, the book Black Elk Speaks sheds a more morose light on Native American life and culture. John G. Neihardt tells the story of Nicholas Black Elk, a healer and visionary of…

result of the paths that they were channeled into through the structural racism that keeps them in their pre-determined boxes. It’s a circular institution: the type of work they are able to do is determined by their social status and education, and the social status and education they are able to obtain is determined by the work they can do. Because of the circular pathway better known as structural racism, the Triqui people are have no mobility to advance up the social hierarchy. They are…

Just like all groups of people, the Elizabethans had specific beliefs and ideas of how they thought the world was organized. The Elizabethans saw the universe as a creation by God. He not only created it, but he made plans for everything and every person. The universe and life would rest in a chain known as “The Chain of Being.” Said chain would work like stairs or a “Ladder to all high designs” (Tillyard). Everything and everyone puts together this chain and holds it all together. This means…

Whitney Noonan Philosophy of Revolution 2/29/2016 At the beginning of the scientific era people were not only shocked but also spiritually threatened by the new discovery that the Sun was actually in the center not the Earth. The “new philosophy” (since there was no word for “science” at the time) is the Copernican revolution. In 1610 Galileo had published the world’s first scientific bestseller, The Starry Messenger. This revolutionary work argued that the heavens are not organized the way…

For the line shot I chose a vertical line. I saw that m railing had vertical lines and the curtain next to it did as well. So as I shoot this I make sure that I get all the vertical lines into the shot. Next is the depth of field shot. This was my favorite shot, I just loved the way the camera would focus in and out and doing that was changing the depth of the shot. I used the pen I was using for my homework and sat it on a book and put them inside of a bookshelf. I moved it many angles to show…

The Broad My museum trip can be summed up with the word serendipitous. When I arrived at the Broad Museum in Downtown Los Angeles, I saw the line to enter the museum go down two blocks. I walked into the lobby, intending to ask a museum attendant on the estimated wait time in line. After hearing the line was going to be a three hour wait, we continued our conversation and started bonding over Yayoi Kusama’s work, especially her Infinity Mirrored Room. Unexpectedly, the museum attendant decided…

For this report I chose to write about a male three year old toddler named James Ortega, who I know very well. I interviewed his parents to obtain a deeper grasp of James that my observations throughout his life may have missed. The toddler is half Mexican on his mothers and half Salvadorian on his fathers. James has no siblings as he is the only child in his household. He lives with both his parents in a house that is in an upper middle class neighborhood. Both his parents are employed, his…

The moral reform movement was a collective effort by ill-equipped parents, “settlement workers and vice reformers joined with club leaders, probation officers, social workers, and sex educators” to combat the scourge of prostitution and to bring under control the newly sexualized population of young working women in the 1900’s (Alexander, 1995, p. 41). Once the young women got a taste of freedom, they “profess utter lack of respect for their parents and contempt for their home life” and…

ball that Benny just hit the exterior wrapping off of. Giannetti states that, “circular compositions suggest security and enclosure” (72). The Sandlot boys are a very close knit friend group, which is symbolically shown through the skeletal structure of the frame. This circular structure exudes a sense of enclosure because the boys have a hard time welcoming new people into their crew, which is exactly what the viewers saw in the beginning with Smalls. Not only does the circle communicate…

fact that I have absolutely no horrible struggle stories as a child. A couple of friends came over that night and all of us kids were upstairs playing. For some reason, I was in my closet (maybe I was looking for something) and I found a gold, circular object. Little did I know it was a blade, I picked it up squeezed it in my palm and ran downstairs to show my parents. While I was running downstairs, my mom had sent my dad to check on "the kids," a few milliseconds…
