When Andres Breton first used the word surrealism, he claimed ownership of the word, attributing it to the movement and claiming it was independent from any prior associations. From that point in time in 1924, surrealism thinking has come far in terms of the depth of interpretation through a variety of works that have been published ever since. This progress is best exemplified with Breton’s original manifesto and Anais Nin’s more recent novel, House of Incest, where there is a similarity in…

the world have placed great work on their talents to reach where they are today. Major stars have talents in leadership, art, and athletics among others.

less developed countries like El Salvador, the fight to stop the gun violence due to one problem of "In El Salvador and Honduras, there are a lot of gangs and drug trafficking, especially among younger men, and that has resulted in a big increase in gun violence." It’s getting to a point where the law enforcement is scared to engage and the citizens are afraid to intervene. Developed countries such as the United states and less-developed countries like El Salvador have to educate their citizens…

It explores dreamlike states and impossible ideas such as the pulling of a grand piano. The spacial continuity is disjointed through the involvement of various spaces of action such as when the woman opens the door from a living room onto a beach, which is entirely impossible and lacks reality. The characters consistently look off screen or directly into the camera, breaking the “fourth wall”, which subverted the golden rule of classical narrative and violated the illusion that the viewer was…

significant issue around the world right now. If you lived in Bangladesh, you might be forced to quit school and work in a sweatshop for $3.00 a month.

don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go Communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people”. Henry Kissinger, then National Security Adviser and future secretary of state, said a few months prior to self-proclaimed Marxist, Salvador Allende's democratic election as President of Chile. This quote encapsulates American political ideology during the Cold War and sheds light on the nature of the Allende regime that was toppled just three years after its democratic victory. The…

The intent of this letter is to express my wholehearted recommendation for Roberto Valenzuela as a superb candidate for the position at Terros Health.

“Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.”(Salvador Dalí). Dalí is considered one of the most prestigious artists of all time. He has created some of the best works of art, such as, The Persistence of Memory, and, Swans Reflecting Elephants. He is one of the founders of the surrealist movement, taking real life objects and placing them into a dreamlike setting. Even after his death, he still influences several different artists today.…

The short story, “Letters of Betrayed Love” by Isabel Allende impresses the theme that women can become empowered by becoming independent of oppressive men. Analía is obstinate by nature, and from a young age, she holds her uncle, Eugenio, in great contempt. When Eugenio attempts to lay her life plan before her, out of pure contrariness, Analía “informed her uncle that she was not inclined to follow it” (286). Analía lives in the company of only female adults for a very long time, and likely…

For my research assignment, I chose Salvador Dali, a famous artist known for surrealism. I decided to research Salvador Dali due to his strong influence in paradoxical art; this was a form of art that contradicted and complexed itself with concepts. Since, many of Dali's art pieces were paradoxical, I found myself admiring all of his art as well as the personality behind his pieces. With that being said, I thought it was intersting that Dali contradicted all of his work, but still maintained the…
