Oscar Wilde implements a heavy focusses significant attention on class in The Importance of Being Earnest. People with and without money behave very differently, though strive for the same response and impressions from their peers. The characters in this novel are exaggerated to the point of absurdity when it comes to their obsession with class. Victorian upper class demands its members to keep up an important image in society and value money and appearance above all else, including people.…

Vision is an important sense, and is even more vital for artists who rely on it for their livelihood. One such artist that suffered from visual impairments was Claude Monet. In 1912, he was diagnosed with bilateral cataracts (Marmor & Ravin 1997, p. 170). Cataracts cloud several aspects of vision like form and color, and can affect the development of artistic style (Goldstein 2007, p. 553). To test such a link with the scientific method would require an experiment within groups of participating…

Life can change so much in such a little time. We see video’s on how much we move and how much activities we did. Now we can remember it and not have to watch videos so there we can see how much we can change in just a little bit. Now this paper will be telling all the research and experiment test we did. Infants have a lot of reflexes when they are born, but we only did a couple with the baby Rylie. Infants usually out grow all the reflexes in a little over a year. The reflexes that were the…

“A Poison Tree” by William Blake is ostensibly dealing with the narrator’s refusal to communicate his anger to a tree, but the overdetermined nature of the words Blake uses makes a final, correct determination of meaning impossible. In this paper, through a utilization of Derrida’s methods set forth in works such as Spectres of Marx and Dissemination, I will examine how the contradictory imperatives contained within the metaphors in this poem draw a reader away from their initial assumption (i.e…
