Cupid Biography

The Night Face Up by Jose Cortazar is a vivid short story because it transposes the main character's dream and reality. The initial reading for this passage was quite confusing because of the lucid intervals of reality and the dream that the main character was in.

The first night's story in Arabian Nights is that of the Merchant and the Demon. Told by Shahrazad, the story offers a remarkable parallel to her own situation as she faces immanent death. Thus, the story of the Merchant and the Demon is told as a parable within the frame story, presenting a poignant analogy for Shahrazad's own situation. The Merchant and the Demon is a short tale but one filled with themes such as power, guilt, justice, and moral responsibility. Through the clever analogy with her own situation, Shahrazad also explores the theme of creative problem solving in tricky situations. Moreover, the story illustrates the core differences between pre-Islamic and Islamic values in Arabian society. Because the theme of gender roles and norms are not present within the Merchant and the Demon, the story shows how sexism is simply a form of general political and social oppression.

The famous quote “I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil” by Albert Einstein. This quote has a lot to do with both short stories Cupid and Psyche and “Ashputtle”. Each story was related to how the villains were extremely cruel to the main characters. The evil relatives made them go through difficult tasks that they shouldn’t have to face alone but did. The girls both had to face the same things, but in different stories and had their happy ever after at the end. But toward the end of the stories there were some differences on the two of how each evil relatives got punished. Both stories refect on how good is rewarded and evil is punished

Her Kawaii shaped viridian eyes that have stared at me simultaneously, in intimacy and distance. Cupid's bow lips that I'm well acquainted with but yet, never shared an innocent kiss of hello or goodbye. Triangular cheekbones, and an upturned nose, that would give prominence in light and shadow shown on a black and white photograph; perky alert tits, firm tight buttocks, a vagina that opens like a rhododendron flower; skin so pale almost seemed prosthetic; jet black hair darker than a raven's feather, and an anus quaint and clean like a fossilized Tetracoralla on a Petoskey stone: Ultimately, all these amenities did not provide her with the perfection of angelic beauty but more the imperfection in sex appeal, as she stretched languorously, naked on black velvet covers, bored out of her silly little skull and yet, comfortable in salacious surroundings. Amber Summers was an experienced porn mannequin at 21 years of age (One could compare her to having as much experience as a dollar bill or a pound coin when came to the amount of handling she has undergone), and a winner of a Golden Clit award. Also known to have zealous panache when performing debauchery: which in contrast to her current state fetch quite the dualism: this happens to be my fault.

Back at home, he dreamed about severed limbs and fire and the intestines of Jody Booth, a friend who had died beside him in a field outside of Danang.

Hannah Wilke’s 1974: S.O.S. Starification Object Series. S.O.S. features twenty eight photographs of Wilke semi-nude and covered in chewed pieces of gum, each shaped to look like a tiny vulva, which dot her body like ornamentation or chicken pox as she models various pin-up poses.

Wilke’s photo series plays off of the male gaze and attempts to, “[parody] traditional representations of ‘femininity’”

Jeanne Dunning is an artist that studied at Oberlin College in Ohio and has exhibited the majority of her art in Chicago. Dunning works primarily with photography and is heavily inspired by the Surrealism movement, shifting reality in the way she portrays human body parts to convey strong themes of sexuality and feminism through a bizarre sense of humor. Dunning has a long history of creating images revolving around female sexuality, including a series she named “Untitled Landscapes,” which consisted of extreme close-ups of human body parts, as well as a series of photographs incorporating close-ups of fruit that strongly resemble female genitalia. Dunning also draws upon classic art categories such as portraits, landscapes, and the nude, playing on the expectations of these categories to reveal sexual implications. Her unique use of sexually charged images that play with the expectations of her viewers allows Dunning’s art to “[fit] within Postmodern concepts of sexual politics.”

These actions greatly exemplify Amir’s jealousy turning into action identifies as his greatest sin.

Yalom’s client Marie is so full of contradiction – she can be demure or verbose, alluring yet awkward, reserved but impulsive, pleasing yet profane, or angelic but wild.

Irene had striking features that would attract both male and female. She had an oval-structured face with a defined jawline and high cheekbones. Her almond-shaped eyes were a mesmerizing red with a heavy coat of liquid, black eyeliner on her eyelids. A dark shade of red lipstick covered her perfectly plumped lips and above her mouth, laid a thin pointed nose. Long, straight strands of black and white hair, gracefully hung all the way to her small waist. Despite her wicked and bold personality, she was rather slim and petite. She wore a black, cashmere dress that went up to her knees and purple boots that matched with her purple belt. A large skeleton sign was sewed effortlessly on the bodice of her dress, and on her slender neck a glowing red

She has a tank top on today, he can see all his favorite parts, which are not the obvious parts, not at all. He likes those defined muscles at the top of her shoulders, those little dents that look as if someone's fingers lingered there the night before. He admires the long pouting collarbone, a shelf above a shelf. She has a beautiful forehead, as broad as a marquee, and a juicy bottom lip, overbit to begin with and sucked in beneath her top teeth this morning, a sign that she's
