have arguments, and did fight and killed many people because the Native Americans felt that the colonists took their land and abused it, “They have robbed the Indians’ temples? Taken the jewels from the bodies of their dead werowances? Set their houses on fire?”(pg. 190) The colonists just wanted the Indians’ jewels and wanting treasure. Both the movie and the book were similar in many ways but also had many differences. In Pocahontas George Percy was a dog while in Blood on the River he was a…

Symbolism is when an object has a meaning more than what it really is. In this case in the short story “The necklace” the “fine rich jewel” is the main factor of symbolism. The necklace is fake, which the reader does not find out until the very end. This leads to say that Mathilde was fake since she wanted to appear something that she really wasn’t. It also symbolizes wealth and luxury…

Recently we visited the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and we were able to see many fascinating works of art including an amazing 2D work by Francois Pascal Simon Gerard. This work is a portrait of Louise-Antoinette-Scholastique Gueheneuc, Madame la Marechale Lannes, Duchesse de Montebello, with her Children. This painting was made in the year 1814 and is a very beautiful piece of art. This painting is two centuries old and is still in very good shape, it’s size is 102 3/8 by 72 1/16 in. The…

I have decided to do this paper on the Renaissance art movement. Renaissance means rebirth or revival, from the French language, and it started in the late 14th century to the 16th century in Italy. There is a “proto-Renaissance” time period that blossomed in the early 13th century but was taken by war and the plague. This era started in Italy because Italy had a lot of classic Roman architecture and sculptures. Many artists wanted to bring this since of artwork back to revive it. Renaissance…

Vardaman does not accept the fact that his mother is dead. He reflects his ideal mom onto living objects, such as the fish. While his mother lies dead in her coffin, Vardaman bores holes into it so that she can “breathe.” Jewel is similar to the second stage of grief, anger. Jewel lashes out on people and animals throughout the novel. He clearly relieves his grief by portraying anger onto living individuals in his life. Cash is in this stage of bargaining. Cash risks everything to save…

played different roles, which have a lot of similarities and differences. First character is Lady Macbeth a novel called Macbeth written by the one and only Shakespeare, second character is M. Loisel from the necklace and third is Mrs.Lantin from ”The jewels“ both written by Guy de Maupassant. Of all the Shakespeare novels and characters in my opinion Lady Macbeth stands out with these amazing characteristics that we love to see in a female character, Lady Macbeth represents strength of will…

and will change her personality and appearance just to fit in. The author says, “What would have happened if she had never lost those jewels? Who knows? Who knows? How strange life is, how fickle? How little is needed to ruin or to save”(Maupassant 227)! This quote is an example of verbal irony because at the end of the story the author tells us how little the jewels that she gave her entire life to buy are actually worth. Because of what she did, she wasted 10 years of her life looking for…

this to deal with as a child, however many of these children’s futures are ruined as a result of being homeless as a child. Abuse is a constant struggle with many homeless children. In her article "Street Life Is No Life for Children" the author, Jewel, mentions that "[m]ost homeless kids are on the streets because they believe that they are safer alone than in the home they knew - if that home even exists for them anymore" (57). Children will run away from their homes in search of a better life…

He tries to warn Darl and Jewel that “It [the coffin] aint on a balance” as they try to decide how they should cross the river. Unfortunately they ignore this piece of valuable information, just as they ignore the rest of Cash’s ideas up to this point. Cash is the only one who seems…

borrow. “Madame Forestier went to her mirrored wardrobe, took out a large box, brought it back, opened it, and said to Madame Loisel: "Choose, my dear."” It's seems like Forestier’s main reason to help her friend is to show her abundance of jewels. The more jewels she has means the more power she has over Mathilde. Another use of social power theory in the story was to show how the power is represented. The power is mainly represented by the fancy clothes and jewelry of the wealthy. Even…
