Arts can be separated into different branches and Hap in the story prefers realistic art. Hap in “The Soul of Capitalism” by Robert Collins would likely appreciate Warhol’s art mentioned in “When Canada Met Andy” by Nancy Tousley on a superficial level, but not the abstract message. Hap would praise some of Warhol’s art because his work matches Hap’s definition of art. Hap loves traditional art but not modern or abstract art as he claims that “it’s not art if he can’t tell what it is” (1),…
The song that I have decided to analyze is Formation, by Beyonce. Beyonce is a worldwide sensation in the pop music industry as well as in feminist culture. Beyonce originally started out in a singing group called Destiny’s Child, where she first became well known; once the group split, Beyonce started her own musical career and has not looked back since. In 2008, eleven years after dating, Beyonce and rapper and music producer Jay-Z married. Three years later, Beyonce became pregnant with…
My heritage as a second generation Korean American has made me experience all sorts of comments and questions about my culture numerous times. Many of my Korean friends are also in the same position as me, or they were born in South Korea and moved to the U.S.A when they were children. Whenever someone in my group of Korean friends, talk about Korea we always ask my immigrant friends why they moved here. Especially if in that group, there is a native South Korean that just recently moved here or…
Overall, this cross-cultural partner project provided me a unique and practical opportunity to get to know my friend Aaron and his native South Korean culture better. This project helped me understand the South Korean culture and how it has impacted Aaron’s life thus far. Learning about Aaron’s wonderful journey as a military member in South Korea, to becoming a successful exchange student in the United States as a student here at Dordt College, was one of the most interesting series of…
sister who is in college and one younger brother who is in middle school. Seung Joo and her family are like the traditional Koreans you basically know. They are the ones who bow their head whenever they enter the house or whenever they see an elder. In addition, although they might have lived long enough in the US to blend in easily with the crowd, she still has this Korean delicacy that has never faded away. I knew for a fact that it is…
“I won’t do it!’ he shouts!” The book When my name was Keoko by Linda sue Park revolves around the Korean struggle after the year 1910 when the Japanese conquered Korea and made them express language only in Japanese.

1. B.1 You feel a rush of adrenaline as it fills your body with the hot exciting sensations, and your mind suddenly starts to clear. You concentrate on the wolf’s footing, where it is stepping, how it is moving. The wolf’s shoulder blades tense up and relax as if it were telling you something. As if it were warning you. The wolf takes a single step back and then lunges forward at your right side. Your body flinches out of the way without you even having to think about it. The wolf assumes its…
Chapter sixteen ***Carson 's P.O.V*** "Oliver, wanna come with me to grab something from my locker?" I asked him, before gym. He nodded, smiling. He stood up and took my hand as we walked to the locker rooms. As soon as we got there he had me pinned against a locker and was slamming his lips to mine. I smiled, but kissed back. "I told you they were fucking!" I pulled away and saw Cassidy and Dave. Cassidy had rolled her eyes at his statement and smiled. Oliver turned around and hugged me and…
When I first saw him, I was shocked. He sat there, smiling and crying while the rain fell. His eyes stayed on the little girl riding the carousel, probably his sister. I could see what my brother saw in him. He was cute in a plain kind of way. Short brown hair peeking out under his weird hat, sparkling hazel eyes, and a smile that could rival Frank Sinatra’s. “He has the best smile Mary.” As I walked up to him, I noticed worry lines permeate his face. His sparkling eyes contained a sense of…
Pop art is an artistic technique that portrays to a viewer a sense of being in a particular era (Osterwold, 6). This is due to the inspiration that the artists drew from popular culture. In order to evaluate this artistic movement it will be necessary to first look at the pre-pop era. This era occurred during the 1950s. During this time, two prominent artists, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, stepped outside the dominant technique of abstract expressionism. Both of them drew inspiration…
