    Queen Elizabeth By Beatrice Johnson: Painting Analysis

    They say a picture is worth a thousands words I agree with that a picture can say a lot to the viewer, same thing with a painting. The photograph and painting I chose to write about is about Queen Elizabeth. The photograph of Queen Elizabeth was taken in 1952 by Beatrice Johnson and it shows Queen Elizabeth wearing a beautiful crown,a yellow patterned dress, with a sash, and diamond jewelry. In the picture the queen has a slight smile not showing any teeth because, it’s a type of picture where it’s taken serious. What I mean by that is she is someone that is well known and that photograph shows her royalty and her importance by wearing her crown.…

    Richard Rodriguez

    If anything is to be understood about Richard Rodriguez it is that he is not a minority. He is in fact a son of Mexican immigrants who came into this country and through harsh labor were able to set him up for a good education, what no longer makes him a minority. Education to him is not just the key to escaping poverty, but it is the key to enlightenment and entering the public world through assimilation while escaping the private world that minorities live in. Richard Rodriguez was born into a similar world that exists today amongst the Mexican community where darker skin is seen as unattractive and a danger in the United States. His assimilation process is heavily based on the pursuit of education, on the power of language, and the role…
