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…

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…

“Crap, I slept in way too late.” At the beginning of the week, Leah Davis told herself she would wake up early and go shopping. Her fridge was almost empty and she was working long hours every day. She had gone to bed at 11:30 last night and forgot to set her alarm. Now it was 10:30 ‘Whatever’ she thought ‘I deserve a break. I’ve worked so hard, I totally deserve this.’ With that she got out of bed, walked to the bathroom and took a shower. Thirty minutes later she walked out of her apartment…

“After all this nigga put you threw, he still got yo nose wide open. Don’t you see?” “See what? You beating around the bush bitch what?” “This is yo opportunity to get back at the nigga!” “Okay, I don’t follow.” “Listen, you agree to it right, but instead of being a silent partner you ask for all of his shit. That way you can beat him at his own game. You know everything there is to know about the business thanks to yo dad… Interrupting her in mid-sentence I replied, “Thanks to my dad, I grew…

can refer to pushing the boundaries of what is considered normal or acceptable. A frontier can force the mind to expand its manner of thinking and venture into areas unknown. Andy Warhol crossed his own frontier when he explored the concept of Pop Art. Pop Art was a far cry from the traditional art of the past—it pushed the boundaries of modern art. Warhol’s use of bold colors, repetitive imagery, easily identifiable subjects, and innovative techniques forced the viewers of his pieces to…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Cindy, I first met you in grade 9 French class. I still remember sitting one row behind you. The first interaction we had was probably when we were doing a French activity where we were supposed to meet someone and find out more about them. I was using a pen at the time and somehow managed to spell your name wrong, so I crossed it out, scribbling messily around my paper. As time passed, I was miserably failing my tests, while you were pretty much getting perfect on each one. I…
