Carver lived most of his life in a world which could not provide the luxury of

This precise diction attempts to invoke a feeling of distance between the man and himself as a young adult, allowing the reader to potentially infer the somber tone of the story, but also to show the relative immaturity of him and his former wife. Furthermore, this contributes to Carver’s use of minimalist style by not directly stating these qualities, but instead leaving the reader to infer them.

Gwendolyn Brooks has extremely interesting messages over messages presented throughout her poem “kitchenette building”. In the very beginning, she presents a very disparaging image of “We are things of dry hours and the involuntary plan, /Grayed in, and gray.” (Brooks). As if to say that life is not of our control, nor is our life meant to be anything more than just some dry hours of just living and trying to get by. She says that “’dream’ makes a giddy sound” (Brooks), as if to say that the notion of a dream is childish and not worth her time as she has more important and necessary things to worry of “Like ‘rent,’ ‘feeding a wife,’ ‘and satisfying a man’” (Brooks). This is a crushing notion that a dream must take second place to so many things, but unfortunately Brooks speaks true, we cannot survive if we are only concerned with our dreams and do not look to our

“The Nighthawks”, by Edward Hopper is a unique form of art for the time period (1942) that it is based in because it is a very natural oil painting. Along with this piece of art, there is another significant oil painting done by the artist Edouard Manet called, “Corner Of A Cafe-Concert” (1880). These paintings both symbolize a restaurant setting during the time in which they were created but in doing this they have different structures based on what was happening around them during their time periods.

Compared to Carver’s short story, readers find themselves struggling to determine how the story was finalized having to interpret the ending in their own way. While

Raymond Carver’s fiction in his story can be described as a minimalist because of its significant uniformity of tones, plain language, extra plot lines, and characters bereft of personality and affect. “Neighbors” is an argument concerning individual character because of the sovereignty the Millers eventually attain to investigate the Stones’ residence once the Stones leave. The story mainly concerns voyeurism: the ordinary human trend of the desire to live the lives of others and see how others live, whose literary effectiveness can only be brought out by someone analyzing it with profound interest and knowledge.

The visionary ideas that were illustrated in both Edward Hopper and Raymond Carver works sketched the image of the characters experiencing the sense of isolation and despair as well as finding identity. Examining Carver “Chef's House” and Hopper Rooms by the Sea we observe the internal conflict created by isolation with the feeling of losing hope with the uncomfortable feel of crisis but also identity. The idea of identity was explored by Carver when edna puts her wedding ring back on when she went and stayed with wes (her ex husband) during the summer at the chef’s house after leaving her boyfriend. In paragraph 3 of “Chef’s House” Edna states “I put my wedding ring back on.

“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul,” said William Maugham, a British playwright from the 19th century. Vincent Van Gogh, an artist who is considered by many one of the most inspirational artists in history, was no stranger to depicting his struggles in life or feelings in his work. Van Gogh’s piece Starry Night, designed in the year 1889, shows this to be true in that it was the result of his experiences in an asylum that encouraged this piece. Despite this work has being so well known, many critics and observers of the piece have differing views on what he was trying to communicate through it. Two prime examples of this can be seen by the views expressed in the poems entitled, “Vincent” and “The Starry Night”, written by Don McClean and Anne Sexton, respectively. While the poem “Vincent”, has a depressing tone to it, “The Starry Night”, by Anne Sexton, depicts Starry Night as having a more lively mood, which more accurately represents that of the painting, by Vincent Van Gogh.

With a unique and brilliant style of writing, Raymond Carver has left a lasting and outstanding impact on the history of short stories. Even though Raymond Carver left a long impact, his life was of the opposite. Like Raymond Carver’s famous award winning stories, his life was short. Raymond Carver was born on May 25th, 1938 in Clatskanie, Oregon, a mill town on the Columbia River. Carver grew up in Yakima, Washington. Carver had three members to his small family, his mother, his father, and brother. Carver’s only had one sibling, his younger brother, James Franklin Carver. Carver’s mother worked as a waitress and a retail clerk while Carver’s father worked as a fisherman and a saw mill worker. Many say that a skilled sawmill worker and

Many of Robert Frost’s poems and short stories are a reflection of his personal life and events. Frost’s short story “Home Burial” emulates his experience living on a farm and the death of two of his sons. Frost gives an intimate view into the life and mind of a married couples’ struggle with grief and the strain it causes to their marriage. The characters Frost describes are synonymous, physically and emotionally, to his own life events.

Hopper is a great choice for the 20th Century! While he is a popular Early 20th Century painter, he was not interested in the limelight. Many painters became popular public figures. Hopper was more like the figures in his works. There tend to be a few figures, but they all seem isolated or disinterested in those around them. Isolation and alienation were two ideas that were explored by Hopper. While this work suggests there is something of interest outside the canvas, we do not know what it is. In addition, whatever it is, the women is alienated from it by the window. At some point, we all feel this way, and I think that is why we connect with Hopper's work.

Housewife is a poem which is made under the thesis of Eliot 's theory from selections from “Tradition and The Individual Talent” (1917) , and bridged with Frye’s looser interpretation from Fables of Identity, informative book about the creative processes. Moreover, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, a book about an African American man in the 1950’s, the character believes himself invisible. The same ring trues with my character the nameless housewife is invisible. My character has sat in a room and daydreamed about her lover 's, only to find that no time has passed. That she still alone in her house waiting for the kids to come home and her spouse to return from work. Tintern Abbey by Wordsworth is a poem about nature and how to transcend the reader and the correlation to Housewife is the shared idea of finding peace in nature. As well as it 's a point of view not readily taken Keat’s Ode to Melancholy and Ode to a Nightingale poetry from the romantic period. He uses descriptive imagery, from Ode To A Nightingale “...Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards but on the viewless wings of Poesy though the dull brain perplexes and retards..”(Keats lines 31-34). The description is that he the narrator wants to fly with the nightingale instead of ensuing help of a Greek god, and that he wants to transcend himself as well as be immortal through poetry in the human world. Such as in my poem “At night in blueberry colored and sprinkled sugar skies She smells of sugar and flowers like

Edward Hopper, who represents arguably the zenith of the 20th century, American Realism and the 19 century artist Vincent Willem van Gogh both painted vibrant and expressive paintings during their time. In 1942 Hopper created the piece “Nighthawks” and Van Gogh created “Café Terrace at Night”, also known as The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum which was created in mid-September of 1888. Both of these compositions were painted using the same Oil on canvas medium. Both painting even have a similar setting one set in a diner the other at a Café but, both painting wanted to convey a different feel or tone. Looking closer at both works we see that, the line, shape, texture, and color allow us to recognize the difference between their styles,

The Making of a Chef was a fascinating book that alternated my perspective on cooking giving me a clearer view of working through a culinary program. Michael Ruhlman gave readers a glimpse of life within the Culinary Institute of America, which is the most critical culinary school in the United States. Nothing is left to instinct or assumed information, everything is shown whether it is with culinary maths or precisely how you lay out unresolved issues for the ideal stock. Everything was just striven to be excellent, not good, nor O.K., but miraculously perfect.
