The settings in these two pieces of literature help to create the correct mood, foreshadow upcoming events, and reveal more information about the characters. First off, setting is a great starting point to creating a certain mood for a piece of literature; as seen in “The Fall of the House of Usher,” written by Edgar Allen…

The section of the concerto known as Winter, or “L'inverno" is the piece this paper focuses on. “L’inverno” is played with strings. Meaning it has violins, violas, and cello. Accompanying these strings…

Initially I thought that picking my favorite constellation would be an easy and foregone conclusion, that being my birth constellation, however, I find myself drawn to all the water related constellations. After pondering the subject a bit I finally decided to go with my birth constellation of pieces. Pieces ended up being my favorite constellation because, first and foremost, it is the constellation I was born under and it is a water constellation. I have a very strong attraction to water in…

argument made by Maria Konnikova in her piece, "Why Can't We Fall Asleep" is that people have trouble sleeping because of when they go to bed and how they choose to go to bed. More specifically, Konnikova argues that certain environmental discrepancies can upset our body's circadian clocks, hence preventing us from falling asleep.

When you see a piece of art, what do you see? Do you see a person or a thing, or is there a flashback of a memory; does it bring a certain emotion to the surface? Art can be shown in various ways, paintings, sculptures, portraits, etc. The piece of artwork that I choose from the class textbook is Elizabeth Taylor by Vik Muniz.

For example, in American literature there was a short period where many writings were based off of the Salem Witch Trials. While some pieces had different locations of their…

Asia Museum as I walked in I have noticed how small the place is but there is an amazing amount of variety of art collection. When I walked in, the people around me are admiring each of the art pieces from the display. Walking to a quiet area, each individual are grasping every moments of how fantastic the pieces are. One of the part that captured my attention is that I absolutely loved is that some of the art pieces are passed down as generations from different collectors of the piece. There is…

I chose to analyze The Fall of Man, 1927 by M.C. Escher for this paper. This particular piece is a woodcut, and the dimensions are 276mm x 375mm. M.C. Escher was a Dutch artist who mainly worked with graphic art. His piece, The Fall of Man, is a representational art piece with religious content. The context derives from the biblical story of Adam and Eve. On the surface, we see Adam sitting on the ground with his head facing downward as he looks with disappointment. Eve is gesturing for Adam to…
