Though a rather uncreative title, Coming out of Church lacks nothing in interest visually. The painting, done by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, was created some time before 1875 in Spain reveals the harsh class differences and cultural norms of the mid 1800’s while also revealing the artists own personal outlook on these phenomena. Madrazo cultivates a scene of gloomy metaphor in his use of rain, and a visual representation of his opnion on the class division through the use of gesture, costume, subject, juxtaposition and light. The end product is both a beautifully crafted piece of work, and a painting that reflects Madrazo’s critique on his belief in the dangers and ailments of class division. Location, location, location; not just important in real estate, it is also prevalent in the location of the scene in a painting.…

Americans generally want to believe they live in a country of safety, freedom, and well-being. They don’t want real crime where they live in the suburbs because that’s only something that happens in impoverished countries and areas of the country that no one vacations to. The truth of the matter is that we have well organized and established gangs in America working with entities such as Daesh, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Hezbollah, and others right here in our backyards. One of the major players in this atrocious arrangement is La Mara Salvatrucha, more commonly known as MS-13. MS-13 is a Los Angeles based gang comprised of mostly Salvadorans and people of other Central American descent.…

Most of his killing from the beginning were motivated by anger or were spurred killing when he would hear of a crime that was being committed and he believed that specific criminal need to be shown justice, albeit a justice of his own views which was very gruesome, but the most common reason for Filho’s murderers was revenge (TheLostGod).

However, the children of immigrants have a hard time maintaining their culture because once they step in America, they are required to adapt to the American Culture if they want to succeed in U.S. This idea is cruel as well as discriminating the culture of the immigrants. I have read two articles that talks about this type of situations that immigrants go through when they arrive in U.S. The two articles that I’m referring to are called, “ Expression of Maya Identity and Culture in Los Angeles,” by Giovanni Batz and “ Alla en Guatemala,” by Lucila D. Ek.…

My pain would instantly vanish. I would be in awe, after all, my mother just performed a magic. She took away any evidence of pain.…
Where Are You Going? Where Have You Been? By Joyce Carol Oates is the story of Connie, a 15 year old Texan girl, and one fateful summer day. Through characterization and symbolism the author shows that often teenagers rush into the fantasy of adulthood, never expecting how real it can get. By using the summer to represent her fall from innocence, music to show how Connie feels, and her habit of checking her reflection to prove she’s still young and insecure- despite how she may act, Oates provides an intense look at how there is always more to what is going on than initially appears.…

The only women who are not treated or described as less than men are those that are shrouded behind the veil of magic. These women are the only ones who receive any sort of respect from the men of Umuofia. Though they are above regular women, their respect is derived from their connection to the gods that decide the fate of men and “because the "annual worship of the earth goddess" falls on a Sunday, the Christian women cannot go home from church: women are expected to stay inside, out of fear and reverence, as long as the spirits roam the village” (Osei-Nyame 160). Christian women are not allowed to be outside on Sunday due to a ritual that they have. One woman who lives this double life is Chielo.…
