the famous people depicted, my aunt, uncle and cousins were able to identify a few. It was funny to think that the people in the frames had eaten at the same restaurant. It was a little crowded at our table and I bumped feet with my cousins a few times. It took a while for our food to come so while I was waiting, I headed to the restroom to wash my hands.

Sylvia Plath’s “Morning Song” explores a mother’s complex emotions towards her newborn child after giving birth for the first time. Although motherhood is often regarded as a joyous event that gives a woman’s life purpose and meaning, “Morning Song” instead depicts motherhood as a complicated event fraught with uncertainty and fear, but also with love and affection. Rather than expressing overwhelming love and happiness, the mother in the poem feels distant from her child and gradually learns to…

It is a world in a hundred million objects. Commissioned by Ai Weiwei, “Sunflower Seeds”, is a 1,000 square meter room laid out with 100 million porcelain seeds, with approximately a depth of 10 centimeters, at the east end of the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London.

That all depends on the season, in the summer months I would have the availability to be there more often since I have more flexibility in the summer than I during t he school year. For what length of time will you be there when you visit? A few hours? Will you make it an all-day Event? Well, a class would probably run about an hour long so I would say an hour at the least. If there are any kind of activities or gatherings I could be there longer.…
