Amy Cortez Change Analysis

After living a difficult childhood life, Julia Alvarez wrote a book to represent and explain her strenuous childhood. Since In the Time of Butterflies was a representation of Alvarez’s life, she incorporated themes that she felt were attached to her childhood. In her life, family was a major

It is representative of Spring and celebration of Easter. This piece features a section of snow covered woods and a church in the background with angels walking towards the church. In the middle ground, we see a female figure rising up from a bush next to trees and an object that looks to be a blanket that blends with the light ground. There are not thick outlines to the objects of this piece but rather is thin lines that help separate the figures and the background more clearly. The colors of this piece are mainly muted pinky reds and bluish purples. This piece is lit from the back with the light coming from behind the angels. The texture of the trees, wings, and the figure are implied by the way the lines are shaped. The slight blur to the background help to further push the figure forward and create the illusion of depth. The eye is guided along the piece by the arc of the tree trunks, bushes and the poses of the figures and the asymmetrical composition. This piece captures a moment frozen in time. The figure is captured mid-stretch and is listening to the march of the angels.

The title Heather Rose uses in The Butterfly Man is a representation of the change Lord Lucan experiences in his transition into Henry Kennedy. A butterfly undergoes a metamorphosis at a stage in its life when it originally was in the form of a caterpillar. This drastic change is very similar to that of Henry and changed everything about him, not just the appearance. John Bingham also underwent a change of heart, and his personality was altered and improved to the Henry we see in the book that lives in Tasmania with his loving wife and friends.

To change is to transform, to undergo metamorphosis. It is essential and unavoidable in life. ‘In black and white' by Eleni Fourtouni and ‘My brother' by Bruce Dawe attempt to encapsulate the essence of change and demonstrate its complexity. The poets create this imagery and make their point through techniques and structure.

the art piece shows the outline of a human body in the center of the outline is a bunch of lines and squiggles almost looks like a maze inside the body, and the outside is more outlines of the body spreading out the farther away the lines are the thicker they get. The two submissions have some similarities from the color to parts of the human body and the random lines and no gender or ethnicity. The second artwork has a different way of expressing x the inside of the body is different compared to the outside so it could show that there is more to a person then just the outside of them or how they look. The inside of the person kind of looks like a maze to me so it could represent the solving part for x showing how complicated the internal conflict for a person could be. The two pieces of artwork have a correlation between them the first artwork x was on the outside between the two heads mouths and in the second artwork x is on the inside of the body. The artist was trying to express two different viewpoints for x inside and outside the body. The first piece of artwork there are details to the face, but nobody and on the second artwork there is a body, but no details on the face. The math idea of solving for x as x can be substituted for anything shows that there is more than one answer for x and that it could be shown from any part of the human

In the present, when they return to the office, the butterfly is found dead on Eckels shoe; Eckels is shocked that the world is now so different just from a small thing like a butterfly being killed in dinosaur time. Similar to Eckels, society does not think that little things, such as butterflies, could alter the world for future generations, but it can. Eckels' realization serves as a pathetic reminder that even seemingly insignificant actions can yield monumental

The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink

"Life is what you make out of it: one can go through it and let things pass them by, or a person can actually go out and get what he or she wants in that life." These are common words repeatedly embedded into my head by my father, as maybe the same from one of your parent's. In the Time of the Butterflies is a book about sisters that fight to take their god-given right of freedom in the Dominican Republic. To win this freedom, the Mirabal sisters had to give up their safety, give up their childhoods, and give up their lives. Julia Alvarez, the author of the book, takes the readers through these sisters journey's of fighting against their dictator Trujillo, and the many hardships while under this political oppression. It is evident in

The shapes of the figures are sharply defined and the objects such as the table, book, and string instruments. There are diagonal rhythms throughout the painting in which it creates movement. The light source in the upper left allows the source light to have a more natural appearance throughout the painting. The shadows at the right-hand corner and the men wearing green in the middle contrast the main object with the most sources of lighting. The objects shadows and lighting create dimension and a vivid sense of more contrast. There are areas in the making with more contrast and the sharp contrast that creates movement in the painting. The shadows and the lighting throughout the painting show gradations and the highlights create more depth. Staring from the upper-left hand corner with the first figure of a gentleman wearing a hue of blue and yellow, the left side of his face and garment shows the source light in right above him. The source light above the

The piece shows three women; one crouching on the left, another standing in the middle, and the final sitting on the right-hand side. All the figures are similar in skin tone, being a peach-tan color with various shades of purple and brown as shadowing. They also have stark outlines, and the outlines of the parts of their body are in a muted purple. The left-hand woman is facing away from the viewer with her right arm outstretched towards the turtle which appears to be swimming towards her. She has blonde hair which entirely covers back of her head further adding to the hiding of her identity.

"He had caught a far other butterfly than this. When the artist rose high enough to achieve the beautiful, the symbol by which he made it perceptible to mortal senses became of little value in his eyes while his spirit possessed itself in the enjoyment of the reality."

The Moth’s is unique and quite beautifully written, using imagery and metaphors to convey its message, mesmerizing the reader as they go along. As the story progresses one can see the message about self-worth, culture, and religion

I would like to recreate a similar butterfly and have it be in front of the stage. This would allow the exhibit to garner attention on social media. Because the butterfly is also a symbol of undocumented students, it would fit in with the exhibit and makes it more interactive. The Museum of Tolerance, which inspired my design, uses a lot of audio recordings and videos. Given our finite resources, the limited spaces and the possible echoes, the butterfly would be a cost-efficient yet relevant piece that furthers our narrative. It would also be a great transition piece from the black and white social perspective of the undocumented workers to the bright political side of the exhibit. It would also be a more positive metaphor and image than the

Whereas, in the foreground and middle ground the artist creates variety using several different analogous color inside the angel and other figures. One focal point is the largest figure in the center of the painting, the angel, its location and large size show that it’s a focal point. In the lower tip of the angels right wing are swerving, dancing lines, that our eye naturally follow taking us on a gracefully curving visual ride that draws the eye to the next part of the painting showing rhythm. On the top right corner under the grey area, is a set of black incomplete half squares that resemble shelves on a wall, this is an example of pattern. Basquiat creates contrast by using complementary colors orange and blue, the orange above the right wing in the lines of the crown and the blue in the

He emphasizes the “affinities we perceive between the fates of the woman and the butterflies” (302). We can appreciate the corresponding story-lines that conflate Dellarobia’s emotional and spiritual turmoil with the ecological plight of the suffering butterflies. As Dellarobia grows as a character, we can juxtapose her own movement with the butterflies. Garrard notices how the actual topic of climate change does not manifest itself until rather late in the novel (303). This, he argues, makes the audience much more understanding of Dellarobia and therefore more likely to follow along listen to what the protagonist has to say. Consequently, the reader can observe the Dellarobia’s changing perspectives on climate change; Kingsolver uses her as a mouthpiece to which each individual can come to understand the butterflies’ dire situation. Garrard lauds Kingsolver’s ability to get the readers to care about the butterflies via Dellarobia. This notion implies, however, that the audience cares more about Dellarobia’s affection with the butterflies than the butterflies themselves. In other words, we do not care about the dying butterflies because of what they mean in terms of the overarching effects of climate change, but rather because of their epiphanic and sobering effect on Dellarobia’s character. Nevertheless, Garrard asserts that this method embodies the “metanarrative of risk” (302) and is much more productive than traditional scientific
