Anne Shirley Research Paper

I choose to research Joan Mitchell because I did not know very much about her or the type of artist she is. Joan Mitchell is a second generation member of the abstract expressionist group and was a very well respected painter of her time. She was born on February 12, 1925 and died on October 30, 1992. Joan was born in Mitchell was born in Chicago Illumines however, most of her career took place in France and she was one of the eras few female painters. She was so well respected that her paintings and prints can be seen in major museums and collections across the United States and Europe. Her paintings often covered two separate panels. “An admirer of Vincent van Gogh's work, Mitchell observed in one of his final paintings – Wheatfield with Crows (1890) – the symbology of death, suicide, hopelessness, depression and darkness. With her sense that Wheatfield with Crows was a suicide note, she painted a painting called No Birds as a response and as an homage”. Joan was a painter who was influenced by many others and incorporated others ideas in her paintings. I think that this is one of the reasons why she is so well respected. Joan’s most notable awards were: “1991 Le Grand Prix des Arts (Peinture) of the

Anne's was a life filled with significant events. The trial and home confinement of her father was the most significant of her childhood. The education she received from her father at this time would prepare her well for her own trial. She had a deep confidence in

The first part of the diary starts with her being a regular girl having fun and turns into a girl going into hiding with seven other people. In addition, she has to deal with relation problems with her mom, sister, and the people she is in hiding with. The problems begin when eight people are confined in a small area and everybody begins to irritate and annoy one another. Anne was especially concerned with herself and with her attitude towards the others in the group. She's mainly concerned with her mother who always treats her like baby. Mr. Frank tires to ease the quarrels between them by telling Anne to help out more around the house, but Anne stubbornly declines preferring to concentrate more on her studies. She especially gets plenty of confrontations with Mrs. Van Daan who thinks she is a spoiled little girl. Mrs. Van Daan constantly tells Anne’s father, “ If Anne were my daughter.” Anne’s respond to this in her diary was, “Thank heavens I’m not!” Of course

She talks about “my mournful chirps"(Bradstreet 208), which might be the sad and emotional letters she wrote to him and is hoping that after reading these letters, he will be affected by them and will come back to her someday. The next lines tell us about her gorgeous second daughter, Dorothy, who got married and moved towards the south with her husband (Huff). She lives far from her mother and Anne misses her a lot. This is followed by the description of her third child, Sarah, who has a fair complexion. She also moved away after she married a man who is “loving and true” (Bradstreet 208). The fourth child who is a boy, Simon, is quite ambitious and have moved to Harvard for further studies. She praises him by saying that he will, "chant above the rest, striving for more than to do well, that nightingales he might excel” (Bradstreet 208). This line tells us that Anne thinks his son might become a great leader one day and might even surpass the nightingales. Then she talks about her fifth child, Dudley, who is almost ready to leave her nest. The words “scarce gone” and that he lives among “shrubs and bushes” tells us that he ready to move forward. Finally, Bradstreet tells us about her youngest three children who are still at home with her, “still with me nest" (Bradstreet 208). She is sure that the day will come when these

After graduation, Margaret taught first grade in a public school in New Jersey; she loved it. Unfortunately, Margaret had to leave her job that same year to care for her mother who had become critically ill. Anne Higgins had suffered from tuberculosis since before Margaret was born, but Margaret still tried her hardest to nurse her mother back to health. All of her attempts failed and, in March of 1896, Anne Higgins died. Margaret always believed that it was her mother's frequent pregnancies (18 total) that led to her ill health and premature death. Realizing that it was her turn to pitch in and help the family, Margaret stayed at home and took over most of her mother's duties. Margaret did not mind the housework much, but it was the change in her father that she could not handle; he had turned in to a bitter tyrant that rant the girls ragged. Margaret reconciled with her father, but left soon after to pursue

Anne Moody shares different stages of her life throughout the book, starting from her childhood documenting life changing events all the way through her adult life. We learn in the beginning that Moody had many difficult times during her childhood. From her home life to the way she was treated outside of her home. Her family was torn apart when she was young, and for many children that can be extremely tough leaving a life-long impression. Moody’s father left, basically abandoning them during a time where they should have been getting

Mrs. Linda Fleming, 66, of Sequim, Wash., died Thursday, May 21, 2009 after taking lethal medication prescribed by a doctor under the law. She had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and doctors told her “she was actively dying.” She decided to greet death on her own terms, and ended her suffering. She was the first person under Washington law, to die by physician-assisted suicide. Oregon became the first state to legalize physician assisted suicide. Following Oregon, California, Colorado, Vermont, and Washington have all legalized physician-assisted suicide. These laws passed by these states allowed terminally ill patients who have less than six months to live, have the option of physician-assisted suicide (State-by-State).

Anne Moody’s Life and the Struggle for Civil Rights Why do we learn history? It is not merely learning events of the past but an understanding how we have reached the present and what it took to get there. Knowledge of the past also helps us predict the future through examples of seen and unforeseen consequences following action. More importantly, it gives a reason as to why today, the United States government puts an emphasis on equality more than ever, or do they?

Out of all thirty three living Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, I am most interested in hearing Betty Williams speak about her efforts to inspire peace. Betty Williams was awarded the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize for her work and devotion to bettering the lives of suffering children. The 1976 Nobel Peace Prize was jointly awarded to Betty Williams and her partner Mairead Corrigan in 1977 because the Norwegian Nobel Committee decided that the 1976 prize had to be reserved for the following year since none of the year’s candidates for the award matched the criteria ("Nobel Peace Prize 1976"). Mrs. Williams founded the Global Children’s Studies Center in 1992 which eventually developed into the World Centres of Compassion for Children International in 1997 ("Betty Williams -

The memories of ‘Anne’ are corrected while spoken, and the photographs are proven as unreliable as ‘Anne’s’ mother fails to recognise her daughter in the picture she has sent from her holiday. When she glances closer she realises the photograph is simply ‘dots and pixels’, and does not resemble her daughter.
