At the beginning of the project my initial idea was to go down the DNA route photographing things such as eyes, fingerprints, etc. This soon changed when I researched Marjolaine Ryley as she did a shoot on her female relatives focusing on her Grandma which I liked so I decided to photograph my Nanna’s bungalow and from that I moved onto looking at old photos from her childhood and also my mum to show how time has changed and any similarities there may be as well as their own identities. In…

A nun is usually seen by society as someone who does not follow the normalcies of every day life, especially when it comes to men. They do not rely on men to make them happy, and because of this they are often seen as lonely. Mary E. Freeman Wilkins depicts the decaying love of a couple in “A New England Nun” through a woman who has many habits of a nun. Louisa and Joe, though once happily engaged, have grown too distant over their fourteen years apart. After Joe returns from his long trip, the…

One of the greatest abilities in writing is getting the reader to convey with the characters, to feel how they feel in that exact moment. This is a bond we gain between us and the characters, we learn to understand these characters. When a reader can truly bond or empathize with the characters, we can really know what they are thinking and relate to them on a more personal level. When we feel sorrow or pain from a characters actions or emotions, we know that the author has indeed bonded us with…

Many aspects of life would not be available and as easily accessible without the inventions of the men and women who came before us. Life with out innovation and inventions would have us still living in a time of hunting and gathering and with out the ability to settle down in one area due to lack of food.

allowance of men on campus in the years 1968 and 1969 because of current underlying tension that was already happening in the country. For so many years, men had the advantage of schooling and getting an education that included more than cooking, sewing, and other skills that were considered detrimental for women to know. It was not until the nineteenth century that colleges started…

For this project I decided to chose a family member, my Grandmother Katrina Wilson. The main reason I chose her is because she is so strong, when everything is upside down she always has a way to figure it out. Another reason I chose her is because no matter how hard her day was at work she's always happy about everything. She is so caring to everybody, She is the nicest person I know. Katrina is a supervisor at a company named Leathercraft Furniture she has worked there for 30 years. My…

Hence, her life is traditional and monotonously because what she doing all day is “sewing or knitting scarves for the Angels who hardly have a need for such scarves”(13) at home. It’s obvious that she knows well that sewing and knitting she does all day are meaningless and boring. It infers from “the large diamonds on the right finger was finely kept” (14) on her head. This is a sign that she is trying…

Throughout Ross’ lifetime came many hardships and struggles. Today Ross is seen as an iconic woman figure in history. Betsy Ross was born in Pennsylvania and remained there most of her life.…
