The meaning of the work, however, is unclear at first glance. Rosenquist, being a pop artist from the 1960’s, probably designed this piece so it would have no meaning, and therefore giving it meaning. Geometry of Fire is about breaking away from the cultural norms, and just creating something, even if it doesn’t have an obvious meaning or symbolic reference. When compared to other pop artist, such as Andy Warhol and Roy…

Since To Kill a Mockingbird has unrealistic characters and its lack of useful life lessons prevents the story from being a timeless classic. One reason why the story is not a timeless classic is how the lessons it teaches are all simple, which is from what Atticus lectures his children. After Scout comes home from an awful first day of school, she tells Atticus what her teacher says to Walter Cunningham. Atticus comforts Scout and explains to her that “you never really understand a person until…

make sense to the reader does not mean they must accept it entirely- a Deconstructionist would say that words have no real meaning at all, and would in fact be largely in support of “Defining by Antonyms.” Though even with all this considered, the meaning of evil has still hopefully been somewhat illuminated to the reader, or, at the very least, made them consider their own meaning of the word, and moved them to some sort of jumbled thought of their…

For many, the first thing that comes to mind is the lack of fear; however, using the Latin origin of courage meaning “heart,” it becomes clear that courage has a more extensive meaning than the absence of fear. In the fourteenth century AD, the French used the word corage to mean “heart” or “innermost feelings” (Online). The origins of courage help one to understand that the…

regardless of the fact that his spite is hurting him. The underground man is a rather odd individual, as he does not share the same beliefs of that of a “normal” man. It is of the opinion of the narrator that the underground man is a masochist, meaning he finds a great deal of satisfaction is his own pain and humiliation. As he describes himself as a sick man, both physically and mentally, he refuses to do anything about it. He despises himself, but regards himself as being more intelligent than…
