Maximilien Luce was a impressionistic painter and anarchist from Paris. He was known as a French neo-impressionist artist. Neo-impressionism is defined as a late 19th century movement in French painting. He was very well-known for his paintings, engravings, and graphic art. Maximilien focused on painting, rather than engraving or graphic art. He began as an impressionistic painter, then went on to pointilism, then back to impressionism. Maximilien Luce is praised for the magnificent pieces of…

Imagine working an 18-hour shift six days a week. To most adults today, that would be unbearable, but for many child laborers in Victorian England, such labor was the reality. In Great Expectations, Charles Dickens portrays many cruelties imposed on children in the Victorian Era that reflected reality. Dickens’s portrayal of children in the Victorian Era was not at all dramatized and depicted what many child laborers faced in the Victorian Era. The creation of factories in Britain had many…

In the 19th century literature, the governess was mostly silenced, being a simple female character. On the contrary, in Neo-victorian literature, she was given voice and was no longer only a character in the background. Having a poor social condition, the governesses in the Victorian age were known to have been exemplary women: modest, diligent, with good reputation. In the house where they worked, they would have a place somewhere between a member of the family and a servant.…

Extreme fascination, passion, lust and beauty can be tempting, but admitting to them was a struggle facing people in 19th century or Victorian Era and this is evident in the novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray.” When Oscar Wilde wrote, “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, he was critiquing a cultural moment in time. He was attempting to make his Victorian audience think about their inability to admit to their true desires and fear of temptation. A British journalist by the name W. T. Stead committed the…

Primarily, Wilde constructs the foil character of Lord Caversham as an “old gentlemen of seventy” (1.1A) who abides by Victorian English expectations to contrast Lord Goring’s repudiation towards aristocratic constraints as influenced by Aestheticism. When the audience is introduced to Lord Caversham in Act 1 Scene 1A, Wilde illustrates his aristocratic credence through his costume where he wears “the riband and star of the Garter” and is “A fine Whig type” “Rather like a portrait by Lawrence”…

There are many instances where “good” people fall into the temptation of evil. This can be seen in history, now and most definitely in the future. It is not difficult to influence people into actions or following certain beliefs. Especially when the consequences will directly impact them or their loved ones. It is common to correlate such temptations to youth’s transition into adulthood. However, it is not uncommon in adults as well. Particularly in difficult periods in history. John faces many…

Peaceful Place Collage This collage-making process was new to me but very fun to do. I really liked how you could layer as many pieces of paper as you want and make so many pieces look seamless enough to look like one piece of paper. For this Peaceful Place collage, I used cardstock paper, fabric material, magazine paper, marble paper, and wood paper to get a variety of textures and colors. I used a layering technique by layering pieces of paper, making them blend together as if they were paint…

The main ideas in this video is about Mesopotamia; John talked about Cities and States, Kingdom, and Empire in mostly. So, I’m going to review about what I’ve learned from this video. In early Mesopotamia cities and states engaged in a form of socialism. Mesopotamia located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, but this area wasn’t good. They…

During 1230BC the Kassites tried in two unsuccessful attempts to free themselves by attacking the Elamites losing control of the cities Nippur and Isin. Finally in 1217BC, a rebellion within Babylonia defeats the Assyrians and they again become an independent nation. Unfortunately, their independence only lasted for fifty-nine…

The Neo-Babylonian Empire Ancient cultures have great amounts of history in them. All cultures eventually have a rise and fall. The Neo-Babylonian Empire was one of these ancient cultures that rose and fell. God is in control of kings and kingdoms and He has a master plan that will be fulfilled. Babylon was built on the plane of Shinar. It was built in the same plane that the tower of Babel was built. This is ironic because the meaning of word Babel and the word Babylon are the same. They both…
