a vibrant palm tree towers against a streaky skyline whilst white ellipses trail off to a miniscule skyscraper. Through his depiction of a palm tree and a skyscraper, Hockney is able to juxtapose organic and synthetic forms, but it is through his color choice, scale, and arrangement that the organic nature of the palm tree is questioned.

He attributes various functions to the creation of the paintbrush—the painting: it fulfills a didactic role, serving as “the feet, the guide, / by which the world’s law bends” (23-24). Painting also establishes a dialogue between generations: “Through you, arranged by you, / the living converse with the dead;” (17-18). But perhaps one of the most important roles it fulfills,…

The Battle Of Shade And Sun: Monarch Butterfly Edition Introduction Under the radiant sun, we noticed that monarch butterflies may be found, basking and warming their wings in the sun's rays. Due to this fact, we began to wonder if monarch butterflies would prefer living in the sun or the shade.
