Johnny should have allowed Dr. Warren to operate on his burnt hand for three reasons: Dr. Warren showed himself to be a competent surgeon, Johnny needed the surgery in order to fulfill his career path as a silver smith, and Johnny lost his sense of pride and dignity when he lost the use of his hand.…

    This piece of artwork by Chris Burden is very complex and thought through in the way it was made but I had trouble connecting to it because of just that. I have yet to understand the meaning and reason this was made. All I know about this art is that every submarine is identical and that there are 625 in total. I'm unsure if the purpose was only to show all the submarines or to show the number of defenses we have. If this art is looked at from a distance, the submarines look like a school of fish all going in the same direction.…

    Chester Himes, who grew up in America in the 1930th, established himself as a innovator in the field of popular crime fiction from the beginning. Even though his popularity came to him while he was a resident of a foreign land, nevertheless, his work, which is often considered as uncompromising, despairing and full of violence, is well known in the United States today. Moreover, Walter Mosley, whose work is often compared to Himes', grew up in the era of the Civil Rights, perhaps that's why his fiction is gentler, and gained popularity much faster. Nevertheless, Himes' and Mosley's crime novels share some similarities that are build first of all on the African-American cultural politics and racial-ethnic relations. The two authors concentrate their attention on the black community, its every day life, different types of crimes and injustices “their” people have to overcome in order to survive in the unstable, unequal society.…

These were extremely important for me since they would help me to avoid unnecessary problems when adapting and developing my profession in America, and also build critical perspectives about the loose standards back in my country. In order to constantly maintain academic…
