Romare Bearden, a great artist that expresses many feelings throughout his photos. He expresses different types of feelings and meanings through colors, background, character demeanor, and even the posture of the characters in the picture. My favorite painting by Romare Bearden has to be "The Family"(1941) due to the fact that I had a personal connection to the picture. I never knew of Romare Bearden's other painting that related to this one which is "The Family"(1975). This is a similar picture but the family isn't as depressed as the family in the first picture. This family doesn't seem to be struggling and

Family is one of the primary concepts in James Baldwin's short story "Sonny's Blues", considering that the connection between the narrator and his brother, Sonny, echoes throughout the text. The writer intended the audience to feel the relationship between the two characters and he initially induced confusion in individuals by hiding the fact that the narrator is Sonny's brother. Most of the story deals with the narrator acknowledging the roles that each of his family members had in shaping his personality and he proceeds to put across his perspective regarding each of them. Baldwin brings forward a story that has a long tradition in the history of mankind, considering that one can associate elements from the biblical account involving Cain and Abel with this text.

When I first read about this course in a summer email, I was blown away by the description and content of the reacting class. It seemed like more of a fun game that a few good friends might play rather than an honors history course. Over the past few months, I have seen that this course is a combination of game and class, which, in turn, makes learning fun. This is the reason that I have learned much about history and perhaps even more about myself during this course.

He looks at the clouds and sees someone's worth. He looks at the dirt and sees living after death. As he embarks on this journey his views are changed and open for the whole world to
