The books name was The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I had just taken this load out of my backpack and now was ready to flip through an array of pictures. Pictures were something that I deemed childish as a 4th grader because certainly I was at a very mature age. So forth grader me sat on my staircase outside and began to read. As I flipped through the thick pages I saw the face of a young boy whose very existence was on sheets of black and white pages. Hugo was the name of the boy and he was trying to fix an automaton he and his father worked on before his father’s death. Sorrow drove me to read more about this Hugo, and a dissimilar emotion overcame me when I felt fear for Hugo as he hid from the inspector trying to drag him to an orphanage.
When a written text is read, the reader can only imagine what is happening and often doesn’t extract a vast amount of emotion. However, with the illustrations and words working together in The Invention of Hugo Cabret, it allows the reader to witness and experience all emotions the characters encounter.
Knowledge is the driving force behind any society. Without knowledge, a society is bound to become corrupt and nonfunctioning. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 tells the story of a firefighter named Montag. In this futuristic and utopian society, firefighters do not put out fires, they start them. The job of a firefighter is to find and burn books, which have been banned by the government. Montag goes along with the firefighter lifestyle until he meets a young girl named Clarisse. She causes him to start wondering about books, and Montag decides to grab one from a woman's house before it is burned down. Montag reads it and realizes how important books are to humanity. He knows that what firefighters are doing is wrong, and sets out to change it. Bradbury uses this story to portray a corrupt society that he believes will come of the real world, and some of his ideas have already come true.
He enjoyed this status until one day realizing the life he is living does not truly makes him happy, it makes him miserable. A world with the government spying over them, with a mechanical hound to get rid of society’s people who go against the law, accompanied by fear that the government wants to convey. “Was it my wife who turned me in? (F451 120).” Fear through Montag going against the social norms of his world by reading a prohibited book creates terror from his wife who ends up putting her own husband in trouble. The obstruct block against both society’s communication and the censorship enforces character’s from both stories to warn readers that knowledge in a world without books and not being able to use words to describe themselves, becomes a world with constant conflict and war with consequences unknown.
The future is here, and reading books is illegal and can be punishable by death. The only problem is no one questions this or sees the danger that this could cause. In Ray Bradbury’s story, “Fahrenheit 451,” a middle-aged man named Guy Montag begins to realize that there is more to the world than what society tells them. Despite living in a time where shallow technology is taking over the world and how people think, Montag manages to unravel the truth of books and stories. As conflict with Montag’s dystopian society transforms him into a more inquisitive person, multiple themes are revealed and related to Montag’s dynamic character.

Edgar Cayce is known for his use of a trance state in order to gain clarity surrounding his patients physical illnesses. Under this hypnotic state, he was able to locate his subject, see their body and describe the state of their organs, circulatory and nervous systems. He would point out where the problem was at as well as the cause of the problem itself, and was able to accurately do this without ever meeting or speaking to the patient themselves. He was able to do this by connecting to the Akashic records, or what he called "The Book of Life", through this trance state. The Akashic records are a compilation of all the information for every individual on Earth, past, present, and future. Edgar talked heavily about past lives and karma, and
The Belgian painter Luc Peire was born in 1916 in Bruges and died in 1991 in Paris. Renowned for the formal purity of his work, he worked through a range of genres and media, from portraits, landscapes, or abstraction, to environments. Peire received his art education from several institutions, beginning with the Academy of Fine Arts in Bruges (1930-5), continuing in Saint-Luc in Ghent (1932-5), and then at the Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp (1935-40). Already recognized within his university years, holding a debut solo exhibition in 1938, the artist came to the serious acclaim after the war, joining the Young Belgian Painting movement (1945), and later awarded with the prestigious Rome Prize (1946). His art was gently influenced by numerous travels the artist conducted within the 50s, visiting Tenerife, Congo, Morocco, and South Africa; and in the meanwhile befriending Alberto Sartoris, Michel Seuphor, and Eduardo Westerdahl, among others with whom he established an artistic dialogue. In the 60s, after his move to Paris and first travels to New York, Peire's work became even more radical, influenced both by optical art and minimalism. By the end of the decade, the artist completed a number of environments, contributing for the Belgian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (1968), and in the same year executing "Ambiente Mexico" and "Wall Relief" in Antwerp.
The artist that Dante would have chosen would be Gustave Dore. I believe that Dante would find his illustrations to reflect his story the best and it seems like that would've been Dante's style. In the end we wouldn’t be able to find out which artist Dante would have chosen but by the way the author writes you can make the best inference. Every author writes a story so that you can imagine what colors would be the best for illustrations or you just picture things the way the artist describes them.
