1495-1498. "Mona Lisa" was made in about the time section of 1503-1506. In 1506 he moved back to Milan for 7 years then he moved to Rome for 3 more. In 1516 he moved from Italy for good, and went to France due to a very generous offer from French Ruler Francis 1. When he died he was buried at a church called "Saint-Florentin". He died at the age of 67. When I first saw the painting of Mona Lisa I liked it from the get go. I actually just heard that there was a painting that looks just like Mona…

A famous quote from the Outsiders is “Nothing gold can stay”. That means that nothing can stay good or beautiful forever. I thought that the Outsiders book told the story very well. I thought that the movie was more exciting than the book was. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the movie was more effective in telling the story. To start, the first comparable scene is when Dally joined the rumble. Two similarities of the book and the movie were that Paul and Darry…

Johnny carries the knife because he had been beaten severely by Socs in the Past. Next, Johnny kills Bob to…

However, apart from the most iconic scenes, I probably would not have been able to watch a clip and decisively state, “Oh, I know this movie—isn’t it like called…

Though the Socs did not show any emotions toward other characters, they also realize that fighting will not get them anywhere. S.E Hinton expresses many themes such as division of…
In the novel The Outsiders, S.E Hinton makes use of the literary element of conflict to develop the characters personality. This quote is explaining the concept of Sodapop putting realization in both of the brothers minds, Darry and Ponyboy, that they should love each other more. Also the quote is the resolution of the problem Darry and Ponyboy have been having, throughout the novel. At this moment in the book both boys are hit with the obvious information that they have been missing the fact of…
