The Rose Tattoo

However, Maggie was determined to have her husband to love her, and to want to have him make love to her. Maggie did just that. She quotes,” I want a child, and it is my time to conceive, I have locked up the liquor cabinet and I will make him satisfy my desire before I unlock it, (Tennessee Williams, pg.975). Serafina, the character in the “In the Rose Tattoo was a Sicilian woman that was paralyzed of the loss of her late husband whom she loved unconditionally. At one time, she would not look at another man, or make herself presentable to be viewed as a beautiful woman. A salesman by the name of Alvaro began to compliment her, bring her gifts, to encourage her that she was still a beautiful woman. Alvaro quotes: “I’m hoping to meet some sensible older lady. Maybe a lady a little older than me. I don’t care if she is a…

I decided to go to the April 13, performance of Vanya and I do not know what to expect. I had to base what I did on my previous performance of The Rose Tattoo. However, even though they are different plays, with different actors, and plot my experience of getting to the performance was the same. There was a sense of urgency to get to the performance on time because it started at 7:30. It was not hard to find the venue and once I arrived, I seen other people from class and said hello. With the…

noticed a visible tattoo on someone that was in my age range, and I remember analyzing the tattoo and thinking how beautiful each detail was. It wasn’t until a couple of days of getting to know this person that I noticed how no one would sit with him, or talk to him. Then I started seeing how teachers didn’t take his input seriously and unintentionally dismissed him, almost like if they were assuming there wasn’t anything they could do for him. It was as if his tattoo automatically declared the…

Once upon a time, tattoo parlors were the domain of the docks, the back alleys of cities or down the block from a military base. Their proprietors were bikers, dockworkers and servicemen. But somewhere in the waning days of the 20th century, things changed and the tattoo became not only fashionable, but ubiquitous. You could say the tattoo managed to do something very few politicians ever hope to accomplish – transcend generational and culture lines. Today it seems you can’t watch a…

by positioning the reader to acknowledge the past history of tattoos, and the significance they held before their original meanings were lost. She states that there were a sign of “deviance” and “criminality”, words which are infused with rebellion, distaste, and shock. By this effect, she conveys that tattoos have been historically looked down upon over the course of history. Consequently, the reader may seek to view those with tattoos in a less positive light, as they are associated with…

Tattoos are a huge problem in the world today. Everyone I know has tattoos. In the world today, specifically the job world, we do not accept tattoos. Tattoos do not and cannot get you a job because they look “unprofessional” to people. I have two tattoos of my own. These are ways to express yourself, are a form of art, and are used as camouflage. Tattoos are ways to express yourself and who you are. Many people have them. When it comes to getting a job it is hard because people have tattoos…

getting a tattoo. Some jobs are unattainable if someone has a tattoo, whereas other jobs like a prison guard there is more leeway. My experience with tattoos isn't much, I have worked with a couple people who have tattoos, and everyone that has seen them wouldn't say anything about them. I always say to someone with tattoo(s) that’s awesome or something like that. Since I don’t have any tattoos, I feel I can't say much to a person’s experience of having them . Everyone that has a tattoo has…

Me being an artist like I am i've grown a liking to a lot of art. When most people think about art and the first thing that comes to their mind is drawing, painting, or even music. All those things are art, but the kind of art im talking about is tattooing. Tattooing in many ways shows people's talent in all different types of art. Tattooing is also a way to show off on people and and brag about what you have and how good it looks. The first tattoo I saw was on this lady that I saw in a fair.…

Tattooing has existed for thousands of years in places such as Irezumi in Japan, Ta Moko in New Zealand and the Pe'a and Malu in Samoa. The word tattoo originates from the Polynesian word “ta” which means striking something, as well as the Tahitian word “tatau” which means “to mark something”. Contemporary tattooing has evolved from a practice that was initially imported from the islands of Polynesia and later transformed into a form of working-class folk art. Tattooing is a centuries old art…

Even Ancient Cultures Thought Tattoos Were Cool If you have a tattoo today, chances are that someone told you that you were making a mistake putting the ink on your body forever. Tattoos can be seen as; a fashion trend, a commitment to an organized group (such as a military branch or a street gang), a symbolic act of remembrance, a rebellious act by a teenager trying to prove a point to their parents, etc. The lesser known fact behind tattooing however, is that is an art that has been…
