For my Art History Museum paper I chose to visit the Chazen museum here in Madison to observe a piece of artwork that I wanted to furthermore dig into. As I walked through the museum, the artwork appeared to be very organized in each area. On the second floor, the painting that really caught my eyes was one done in 1880. The artwork is an oil painting created on canvas with an old man and a little child in it. The painting was, In Grandfather’s Arms, by the artist Jozef Israëls. The painting…

As Gilgamesh was watching Enkidu die, he himself was dying on the inside: losing his power and losing his best friend while having to grieve. Even though Gilgamesh was not dying physically, inside he was dying as he was watching his friend die and then having to go through the grieving process as he was dying. When Enkidu passed away, Gilgamesh said: “Hear me, O young men, listen to me, / Hear me, O elders of [Uruk], listen to me! / I mourn my friend Enkidu, / I howl as bitterly as a…

It was the summer before my ninth grade year when I began to question my true identity. Until that summer, I had never met the Hispanic side of my family. Until that summer, I had never realized how important language was in regards to ethnicity. Until that summer, I had never been ashamed of my heritage. I had always identified myself as an African American. I was sure of my identity, but I chose to ignore the identity of my father. My father’s dad was black but his mother was Puerto Rican.…

Monkeys - A Certain Romance Nothing sounds so 2006 than Alex Turner’s exclamation about how “there’s only music so that there’s new ringtones”, yet his theme of scummy hometown residents is still every bit relevant today. Like most of Arctic Monkeys’ début Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, closer A Certain Romance brings universal ideas about your lively neighborhood and staple them to a perfectly crafted rock number. 85. Interpol - Obstacle 1 With interlocking guitars…

Experience: When I realized where my seat was I was a little angry. I was sitting in the front row (row A). When Mark Kendall (The Magic Negro first) appeared on stage, he was very warming and welcoming. This made me feel at ease and not so upset about being in the very front. His scenes were very clever. I really enjoyed the Dr. Seuss scene because he made the story into something that related to the topic. In his version of Green, Eggs, & Ham a white person told Sam he does not say the N word…

Today was the day. I could barely hold in my excitement as I trotted down the hallway to get ready for the big day. Now what exactly am I so excited for? Today was the day my family and I were going back to Denver, Colorado for the first time in eight years. I had waited 4 long months for this day to come, and now it is finally here. I went downstairs to get breakfast, then headed out the door to go to school. I could barely pay attention to anything because of all of my excitement. The…

Sometimes I feel like the world purposely lies to themselves so that they don’t have to accept what they truly are like and make up for all the bad things they have done. I know what I am like already even if there are some parts I want to change about myself. I feel like a lot of people don’t like to accept the fact that they can’t be perfect and that kind of annoys me sometimes when I try to explain to them that they can’t be great at everything. In our class we took a bunch of surveys…

On Monday September 11th of 2017 my group and I presented chapter two “Schooling the Imagination.” Frankly I arrived late to the presentation because I ran to go make copies in the only place I could the library. When I did arrive I tried my best to be involved. At first forgot to present myself but did towards the end. I made myself responsible of presenting the class with an activity about the different perceptions of color. Then read to the class journal entries which they had to respond to.…
