Jackman Responses The first response is from pages 195-210 from Ian Jackman’s book, “The Artist’s Mentor.” Throughout these pages there are various quotes and examples of what it means and feels to be an artist.

For example, Jackman uses a quote from Mary Frank, she sates “for me, the reason to do art is that it is compelling. Art is a drive, a very complex desire and need, urgency and…

having a file cabinet full of writing and keeping the shit locked so nobody can read it? What is that man?” They both do this, but William Forrester or J.D Salinger did not give us a reason why. Another similarity between J.D Salinger and William Forrester is that William Forrester did block a biography of himself that Jamal’s teacher, Professor Crawford was going to publish. The same happened to J.D Salinger when he sued Ian Hamilton for trying to publish a biography of him. I believe William…

and make us proud. That fucker needs a thrashing. Hope he gets injured again and spends all his upcoming footballing years on the side-lines. Not diverting from the topic, let’s talk about another characteristic of Nasseb Kaur. Naseeb Kaur likes to read a lot, mostly intelligent books like 50 shades of Grey, The Immortals of Meluha, etc. But like my ex room-mate who, in pursuit of cultivating an erudite air with a selection of clever books by his bedside, used to keep John Grisham: A time to…

Some places and activities in Frazier’s life that he now considers “marginal” are going to the woods and fishing. Being in “marginal” places and participating in “marginal” activities…

The effect of stepping back in time is also demonstrated through the differences between the novel’s two romantic love interests. Rose is introduced by her full title of “Miss Rose Bradwardine” (Scott 41) whereas Flora is “The Chieftain’s Sister” equating her to the old highland traditions. Time is malleable and something Waverley moves backwards and forwards through; this equates with the narrator of the novel and Scott himself, describing class issues and political rebellions and fights for…

called names for his writing but defends murry that there is no prejudice on Murray’s part; just honestly.

help invent a new valve to help his son’s life after a terrible accident. How this is a more important thing other than writing children’s books is because without the medical advancement some children would even be able to read his books and some adults wouldn’t be able to read them to their kids because they would have slurred speech due to a…
