Every action comes with a consequence. In Edgar Allen Poe’s, The Tell Tale Heart, the narrator learns this. The man kills someone who bothers him, and believes that his plan is “perfect” enough to end his troubles completely. However, the theme was proven when the man is overcome with guilt after the murder. This message “every action comes with a consequence” is seen throughout the gruesome story in character, setting, and plot. Poe’s story starts out with the narrator pleading his sanity. In…

as contemporary art. The Museum of Modern Art displays a folding lawn chair chosen by well-known artist Joseph Kosuth. Each of these representations of art provokes the debate discussing what is technically considered to be a piece of art work. Even though Kelly, Nobel, and Kosuth claimed to create different pieces of art, what separates their artistic trash from another person’s trash or Kosuth’s folding chair from the lawn chair sitting on my neighbor’s patio. The ongoing debate setting…

I was born on Thursday August 13th, 1998, in Aberdeen, South Dakota at St. Luke’s Hospital at 3:05 p.m. I weighed nine pounds and two ounces. I was twenty two inches long. When people came to visit me, they noticed my long fingers and my lack of hair. My brother and sister would not let go of me. As you know, my parents named me Jayleen Emily Ruby Lier.

Victoria Crowe’s portrait of former Principal and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Brian Lang completed in 2008 serves as a tribute to the life-long academic whom, during his time as principal, expanded and led the University into the twenty-first century.

I sense his frustration. I will admit it is kind of like we have entered baby boot camp. A lot is being thrown at Beau in a short period. A bullhorn placed at his ear: change that shitty diaper. What the hell are you thinking? Diaper rash cream goes on the bottom; it prevents ‘rash’, it’s not an all over body lotion. It’s just a little spit up man, stop gagging! Look him your baby in the eyes. Act like you know what you’re doing!! Pretend, if you have to. Babies can smell fear. I notice Beau…

and my daughter seems to like it better than Seaton. We find our way into the crowded auditorium as I sense many of doubts in me as I absently rub my thumb over the back of my hand. Gray metal chairs are set up in the middle of the room. Along the wall to the left are tables and other chairs. Every chair seems to be occupied by a child or adult. Somewhere in the room, I hear a child’s screeching cry echoing…

Her claymation video “Strings” starts out with a lifeless clay figure sitting on a chair, unmoving. Then, the figure starts to sprout colourful strings pouring out of its head, fingers, toes, and eyes. This is where we see the figure first move, as it reacts to the strings sprouting out of itself. This figure is has no soul, but…
