Ben Yagoda’s Memoir: A History has both positives and negatives. I am going to examine the way in which we read the book and the information presented throughout the book. The pros of the book and also the cons. Finally, how I felt about the book. Overall, I felt us reading the book split up was hard. I would get used to the Yagoda’s style of writing and then not have to read it again for a week or two. If it was under my control I would have liked to read all or nothing. I would also like to…

From the day I moved into 113 Ben Street, till the day I moved out before heading to college, my street never surprised me. At the beginning of my street is where the corner of Fern Street starts and is where the Dominicans started establishing their territory. The more a person strolled or drove down the street, the more people can see how separated everyone was. I was located in the middle which was where most of the diversity was. Ecuadoreans, Guatemalans, Puerto Ricans, Portuguese, and more…

trying to establish a sense of identity contributed to the turmoil that overwhelmed the United States during the Great Depression (1929-1938). Many artists who were infuriated by the events became social activists through their art. Among them, was Ben Shahn (1898-1969), an artist whose Jewish family fled Lithuania in 1906 and settled in Brooklyn, N.Y. In the 1920’s, Shahn became part of the social realism movement. Social realism is used to describe the works of american artist who were…

Ben Quilty is an Australian artist producing richly emotive works that effectively exemplify the art of abstraction, having earned him a national reputation. Acclaimed as a portraitist, Quilty creates thickly impastoed canvases using vibrant colours and broad brush strokes that build up layers of paint. He works in a wide range of genres, including portraits and still lives, but also landscapes that reflect his fascination with Australia, a passion which has its origins in Arthur Streeton’s…

As an unconditional admirer of Ben Wheatley’s work, I must admit I was expecting slightly more from “High-Rise”, an impractical adaptation of J.G Ballard’s 1975 novel of the same name. However, I'm not disappointed either because I enjoyed the bizarre, lustful, surreal, and psychedelic tones that the film has to offer, in addition to a mordant humor, which is already a staple in Mr. Wheatley’s projects (“Sightseers”, “A Field in England”). Set in a dystopian near future that is evocative of the…

The main point of my editorial/opinion article is racism based on Dr. Ben Carson’s respond to the confederate flag. Carson was asked about the confederate flag, after a NASCAR appearance and his response was reasonable. He stated that NASCAR fans should continue to fly the flags as long as it’s in private property. As our amendments state we have the right to express our beliefs. I disagree with the confederate flag, it symbols a hard time here in American, such as slavery and white supremacy.…

Second, summarize scholarship king. Scholarship King is a story about Ben Kaplan who worked hard in school yet didn’t get many college opportunities without work. His parents couldn’t afford extremely expensive schools, so he had to search for other scholarships.…

The main symbol in Ben Johnson’s The Alchemist is the Philosopher’s Stone – the epitome of what alchemy stands for. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the Philosopher’s Stone as “a mythical solid substance, supposed to change any metal into gold or silver and (according to some) to cure all wounds and diseases and prolong life indefinitely” (“Philosoper's Stone”, deff. n. 1a). Johnson plays upon the use of the stone and the character’s inner desires, as a symbol of the greed and selfishness…

“The Social Network”,an American drama film which adapts from Ben Mezrich’s book “ The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal”,tells us how a college student creates a social network website called Facebook. It is not just a plot of genius, but a true story of opportunities,perception,idea and friendship involved in the website’s creation in a college. Also, it is not just a film about an own business creating base on a genius who drop out…

“Good night Malaysian three-seven-zero.” “It was a routine sign-off, an all-is-well,” explained Ben Brumfield. No one really knows who bid farewell when the plane MH370 disappeared without a trace on March 8, 2014. The plane that was traveling from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia carried 239 people from varying countries. Some theorists think that MH370 might have veered southward towards the Indian Ocean. Pilots in charge of the plane were expected to check in with air traffic controllers in Venice,…
