As a teenager growing up in a very destructive and dark world, Lauren Olamina was one of the lucky citizens who got the privilege to live behind a wall before the full collapse of the society. With a rare condition called hyperempathy, she had the ability to share the true feelings of others. How does Lauren’s hyperempathy effect her actions throughout the course of the text while also showing the selfishness of the current human race? Her condition encourages her to help the people she comes in contact with, reinforces her views on religion, and allows her to empathize with others.

Jeannette Walls is a critically-acclaimed author (of both biographies and works of fiction), despite her unorthodox upbringing. Her parents supported giving their children excessive amounts of freedom, even though they were clearly too young to be taking care of themselves, causing Walls to light herself on fire while cooking herself a meal at only 3 years old. Also, they did not believe in proper treatment, hence why they force Jeannette to leave the hospital, although she is not finished with treatment, and still had third-degree burns all over her body. Considering her father would waste all of their money on cigarettes and alcohol, there were periods of her life where she was homeless, and would have to sleep in a cardboard box, that of which she shared with her three other siblings (and this is if they were lucky; otherwise, they would be forced to sleep in their car). However, a young Jeannette’s father would manipulate her into thinking it was “an adventure,” causing her to get

The discovery of oneself is a very prominent theme throughout the stories of Pleasantville and Autobiography of a Face. It’s not just the word self in these pieces of literature it’s more like discovery and how the characters in these pieces find themselves as they thought they were and in new ways. It’s about facing difficulty and challenge to see what lies ahead on the other side of the wall we call adversity. Looking at the movie Pleasantville the theme of self occurs constantly. In the beginning, in their normal world, Bud and his sister are both just trying to fit into whatever crowd they can.

Regina Jose Galindo was born in 1974 in Guatemala. She currently lives and works in Guatemala. Regina practices her art works with her own body. Her works are based on violence or any cruelty caused by certain political events and personal disgrace. Those works are open to the public and to whoever relates to what is being depicted in the art work. (Regina Jose Galindo Portfolio, 2014). Galindo won the Golden Lion award in 2005 as the best artist under 35 at the 51st. Venice Biennale. Two years later, she sold this award to a Spanish artist, Santiago Sierra, who in return sold back to a collector. Ironically, in 2011 she decided to order an exact copy of the award to her friends, Angel and Fernando Poyón who were sculptors in Guatemala. Her friends gave her the exact copy, but this time the Golden Lion was casted in bronze coated in Guatemalan gold. Regina’s work is also present in private and public collections, such as the Pompidou, Guggenheim, Rivoli Museum in Torino, or the Miami Art Museum and Cisneros Fontanals Collection in Miami

Her duties in the job included being responsible for the company’s diversity and inclusion strategies for more than 60,000 employees.
