Watergate figures

Gannon definitely ruffled some Democratic feathers and his opposition were determined to dig up more dirt from his past. To illustrate, Jeff Gannon wasn’t even the reporter’s real name! It was an alias for James Guckert and that’s where the details became much more interesting. It turned out that James Guckert’s private life embodied the polar opposite of what the Republican Party stood for. Guckert had owned, operated, and worked as an escort for his military-themed, homosexual escort websites, MeetLocalMen.com, HotMilitaryStud.com, and MilitaryEscorts.com. That revelation opened the floodgates for gossip and speculation because of the mysterious circumstances surrounding his comings and goings within the White House. Again, Gannon had been denied a Congressional press pass, but he was able to circumvent the requirements for entering the White House Press Corps because the Secret Service issued day passes to him. In fact, he was issued day passes on more than 200 occasions over a two year period. Furthermore, records show that Gannon visited the White House on several days in which there were no press briefings! There were even 14 occasions in which either his entry or exit times were missing. Those circumstances certainly raised questions as to whether prostitution was his “in” for gaining such high access to the Bush administration. After all, he clearly had some high level connections within the White House. However, in effect, the prostitution aspect of this scandal…

African sculpture is most often figurative, representing the human form. It is primarily fashioned from wood. The African sculpture can be described as monumental, meaning that the figure or form is not separated from the wood in which it is carved, which gives is a feel of heavy permanence. These aspects are visible in the African sculpture, Figure of Bena, Mboi, Yunger people in Nigeria 14th-16th century, Nigeria, Eastern Gongola Valley, and Figure of the Jukan people 19th-early 20th century,…

Yet upon a second more detailed examination, traditional elements of composition began to appear. In the center of the piece, there is an identifiable pyramidal structure of the figures, with the reclining nude upon the boot at the base, the three figures, Mary, Jesus, and the contemplative apostle in the back, making up the body of the pyramid, and sun-ring at the top. Vanity and lust fall below qualities of compassion and wisdom, which ultimately is under godliness and piety. Another…

The Flower Girl. As with many of Vyse’s figures, names were often changed. The autumnal sprays in the basket, may have been the cause of the re-naming the figure Autumn Leaves. This is a quintessential Vyse figure, illustrating the reality of the social background from which the flower selling women sprang. The outdoor life in all weathers doubtlessly gave the women, their ruddy and weathered features, so unlike the pale creamy complexions of their Vyse counterparts. Moreover, Vyse is saying to…

role in how the main character would struggle to find who he was as a person and what kind of potential he obtained emotionally as well as educationally. Between his father, mother, and closest the protagonist had no one to express himself to. The main character recollects “He handed me a gift, a book, and after he was gone i threw it away, didn’t even bother to open it…” (Diaz 433). He was so jealous of Beto that he chose to leave him in the past and not open his gift that he felt was to…

waited in that theatre room for days, anticipating the competition to come. waiting thirty minutes to preform isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the long minutes that dragged on made me anxious. When they called for us my heart skipped a beat. I could feel my hands clam up and my my breaths grow more ragged. I wasn't ready for it. Not now. Not yet. It was the most frightening moment of my life, but when we started acting it all went away. I felt calm and excited. When we finished I felt very good,…

The Velázquez Painting circa 1618 depicts a scene of a server who works in the kitchen and three other figures who are situated in a room in the background. Compared to the other figures, the server is secluded and, more importantly, distant from the figure who has a faint halo above his head—the Jesus figure—and therefore seems to be the lesser in the spiritual sense. However, despite his or her seclusion and distance, Velázquez places the server figure in the center of the painting. The…

artwork (see Image 2b) with the folds in the pants as well as the shirts worn by the different figures. O’Shields also used small spots on the fish to contribute to the look of the fish’s skin just like I used to shade the cloths on all the figures. The wave in the background of O’Shields’ work was done the same way he did the rest of his artwork. By not having a background in any of the images represented in my artwork I had to use other means in which to make my artwork seem as realistic as I…
