    The Russian Bride’s Attire is a life-sized oil painting by the Russian artist Konstantin Makovsky that is currently hanging in the Legion of Honor.

    In particular, we all appreciate and love to assimilate new information and gain our knowledge. However, textbooks do not enlighten the reader with exact information, since they do not reinforce a myriad number of precise topics and facts of historical events or any information in general. Such as, when desiring to ascertain an infinite amount of new information on historical events, in this case being on the American West during the mid and late 1800’s, not only can we gather information from textbooks and from Chapter 18 on “HIST4” (Volume 2. U.S History since 1865) by Kevin M. Schultz; but on sources as in old letters, government documents, articles, and speeches, therefore the sources have helped me have a better understanding on the American…

    We often take the little things for granted when we communicate. Body language in verbal communication, kerning in written communication, and composition in artistic expression. These missed queues aren’t typically a deathblow to the message being communicated. Instead, it’s rather rare that these errors are obvious to an untrained eye unless they point out something painfully obvious, such as bad kerning turning “click” into “click.” In a recent visit to the Florence County Museum, the watercolor “At the Wedding” and it’s study composed by American artist Alfred Hutty demonstrates how subtle changes in composition can influence the perception of a piece.…

    In Octavia Butler’s The Parable of the Sower the reader sees a society whose commons has been destroyed by large-scale forces such as an alternative-right wing President controlling an inadequate, neoliberal economy, a capitalist civilization which fails to maximize the ‘good’ of all citizens, and a national ideology that is built upon a rigid, outdated set of values. The large-scale failure of the commons coincides with the theory proposed by Hardin about what makes an unsuccessful or successful commons. Butler takes their theory a step further in her novel by showing how these large-scale elements lead to small-scale community effects such as isolation and willful ignorance. This successive fragmentation of society and its impact on individual communities and citizens presented by Butler can be analyzed through Garret Hardin’s political theory on the tragedy of the commons. Butler introduces her readers into a society that suffers from large-scale flaws resulting in a failed commons.…

    For the presentation, my group decided to discuss the question, “Do Carter's fairy tales challenge or reinforce patriarchal constructions of female sexuality?” - a question stemming from Dunker’s remark that “Carter is rewriting the tales within the straitjacket of their original structures. [She merely] reproduces the original, rigidly sexist psychology of the erotic”. This question interested us as it allowed my group to further explore Feminism, a subject matter that we studied in our first semester. This question also allowed us to refer back to the original fairy-tales that influenced Carter’s anthology of retellings - whether that be Pruett's, the Grimm Brothers, or another individual's works.…

    The reading, Paul Gaugin and the Invention of Primitivist Modernism by Abigail Solomon-Godeau shows the myth of Gauguin, as an artists who pursue a “primitive state.” In 1883, at the age of 35, Gauguin decided to break with his bourgeois life, and become a full time artist. In 1886, he travel to Breton in order to find a different atmosphere from the civilized society in what he considered was a country with archaic customs.

    Within a few chapters in The Second Sex by Simone De Beauvoir, she uses the terms "immanence" and "transcendence". These two terms have very opposite meanings. Immanence is a term used to define women and transcendence is used to describe the male gender. These terms define the situations that men and women are involved in. In one of the chapters Beauvoir goes into depth about three kinds of illusions that women construct that demonstrate transcendence within the home or within their domestic activities.…
