Edvard Munch's "The Scream" was painted around the end of the 19th century, and is possibly the first Expressionist painting. The Scream was very different from the art of its time. During this time artists tried to paint realistic paintings. Munch was a tortured soul, and it certainly showed in this painting. Most of his family had died, and he was often plagued by sickness. The Scream was a reflection of what was going on at the time, and what was going on in Munch's own mind

As most of you probably know, this is The Scream, artist Edvard Munch’s most famous and influential work.

The big idea of this poem is emphasizing how great of a kite runner Hassan is. Amir spoke many times of how great of a kite running Hassan was and Hassan never let Amir down when it came to catching the kite. I used the simile “skies as blue as the ocean” to create imagery in this poem. Imagery is a very important part of the poem because it makes it more interesting and exciting to read when you can picture what is going on in the poem in your mind. Also, I used personification when I wrote, “confidence sitting on my shoulder.”

“The Scream” is a famous painting by Edvard Munch .The 1893 painting is regarded as one of the most iconic human figures in the history of Western art. The painting is described by Munich as an autobiographical representation of his own feelings of insanity. The painting was created by Much through the use of oil, tempera, and pastel while he was living in Oslo, the capital and perhaps the most popular city in Norway. The painting is generally described as abstract. It is referred to as being an iconic part of the Expressionism Movement, a movement that manifested in Germany from 1905 until 1950.The movement established a new way and approach to artistic presentation. America journalist Arthur Lubow cites the painting as “"an icon of modern art, a Mona Lisa for our time."(Lubow, 2006)

The art world has a limitless array of mediums and different artistic periods, challenging the opinion of what should be accepted by the masses. "Expressionism is the art of the emotive, the art of tension provoked by consciousness of the forces which surround modern humankind." Challenging the academic traditions of the previous centuries, Edvard Munch impacted the art world as an instrumental leader in the development of modern German expressionism. His painting The Scream has made its mark in questioning the ideals of what is acceptable concerning the history of art. The paper will discuss Munch’s life history, uncovering the influences which led him to expressionism, as well as a detailed description and analysis of The Scream,

You may have seen Edvard Munch’s painting, The Scream, without knowing it as it has been featured in various movies and television shows such as The Simpsons, The Looney Tunes movie, and Home Alone. This painting is one of the first paintings to emphasize a sound. (Not only is the main person screaming but the setting also seems to be yelling as well.)

Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner, is most definitely different than other authors. He uses strong, detailed words that may be difficult, at some points, to understand. His use of vocabulary is rather challenging for me. The more use of challenging vocabulary, in my opinion, makes the book even more interesting. Now, I’m not a big fan of reading, but after reading this book, I had found an interest in reading more challenging books like The Kite Runner. Not knowing a word can change the whole scene by finding out what it actually means. Now, Khaled uses a wide variety of figurative language to grab your attention.

Society has always defined people based off of stereotypes. Stereotypes define people based on wealth, looks, ethnicity, where you come from, etc. Ben Carson grew up poor and without a father figure. He turned his life around and became a surgeon. He became the first neurosurgeon to successfully separate conjoined heads. Society will always have their beliefs about someone based on the labels people are given by society.

In the artwork “The Scream” by Edvard Munch I like how Munch does not make this artwork as obvious and makes it complicated for his audience to guess what the artwork is about. He makes his audience think outside the box in order to actually guess what the artwork is about. I also like how the title is not as obvious and makes the audience think as if they were Munch. Also, I like how he uses the rule of thirds and decides to put the distorted figure off to the side of the painting. I was inspired by the artwork portraying high anxiety due to the fact that the distorted figure is distorted.

This quote relates to the main character Amir in The Kite Runner as the guilt he endures shadows him throughout the novel as he searches for redemption.
