In the Bedroom

Of all the exhibits, the “hate room” was my favorite. I learned more information about the artifacts in that room than the artifacts in any other room. I learned from the other rooms, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t have a general idea of. In the “hate room,” I saw how racial stereotyping influenced advertising. The first thing that caught my eye was the black cast iron banks. I always saw pictures of how we were depicted in the eyes of the media early on, but I never saw an actual prop. They…

Vincent’s Bedroom The Dutch artist known as Vincent Van Gogh painted the Bedroom in Arles in 1889. The painting is of Van Gogh's own bedroom, where he had eventually died after attempting to commit suicide. He is thought to have painted it to show his sadness and even reflect his suicide in 1890. In Don Mclean's tribute song known as 'Vincent', the lyrics points out the work of art as the following: “Now I understand what you tried to say to me, how you suffered for your sanity.” The bedroom…

The idea of a problem implies that a solution exists. In math students are taught that one plus one equals two. In Spanish, one must solve the problem of needing to use the bathroom by learning ‘Donde es el banyo?’ In music glaring tonal imperfection can often be solved through the use of a tuning fork. However, when the problem is one of a persona nature the solution becomes more vague and undefined. Like the idea of an irrational number, character traits often seem elusive. That is where…

Thinking of painting your bedroom? What color are you considering? You may want to take a minute and think about your color choices and what they can do for you. Color can make an impact on you whether you know it or not and depending on how much time you spend in your bedroom, your color choices can affect you in a positive or negative way, all day, or all night long. If your bedroom is your sanctuary, the place you go into to get away from it all, then you may want to consider the color green…

No one cares all that much about how Romeo found her bedroom window (Cut lines 79-84). I think the discussion between Romeo and Juliet on how he managed to find exactly the right place to find her was cut on the basis of repetition. Earlier in the scene its already established that he is risking a lot to be where he shouldn't be, and earlier still in the film we see Romeo ditch his friends in order to find the Capulet girl he kissed at the party. The audience knows he is guided by young love.…

Andre Dubus “The Killings” and Todd Fields In the Bedroom present the theme of grief, revenge and how a good person can commit an evil act; through the different uses of characters, plot, and tone. There are very subtle changes between the story and the film adaption, with some parts of the film quoting the story word for word. While the director keeps the film in very close likeness to the story, there are subtle changes we can compare and contrast. Beginning with the characters, right…

In the classroom I observed, I saw approximately 14 names listed on the wall. In the center of the room, there were two tables with chairs around them. I thought these were the desks that the students use. There were many tables in the classroom. A few examples that I saw were: a sensory table with a checkers game set up. I also saw about 2 or 3 separate tables around the room with different activities that the children could participate in. I observed one student working on a puzzle during…

The Pilot House, with its friendly painted walls, ample space, and droning acoustics, is a great place for students to hang out, laugh, and enjoy themselves. The only problem is that so few students are actually taking advantage of this space. Our plan is to revitalize this space by adding just a few quality attractions like game tables and board games, and then improving awareness amongst students of this available space. We want to put in three foosball tables in the back corner where the…
