viewer to gauge some semblance of meaning, whereas surrealism usually boxed the viewer out and gave the responsibility of interpretation to the viewer. Fox goes on to assert that surrealism and pop-art “can be seen as providing similar artistic catharsis by challenging artistic norms and creating a dialogue” (Fox 5), albeit in different ways.

With all this Auburn achieves an almost perfect sense of catharsis, as many people have felt invalidated at some point or another in their life. Proof is a beautiful story which I feel speaks to the unseen resilience which many people carry without ever receiving any type of recognition from others. It brings…

If vegans try so hard to emulate the tastes of meats and animal products, the healthy way is to just consume the real thing. The popularity of becoming a vegan has risen in the past decade because of organizations falsely “exposing” the meat and the meat-packing industries.
