“The Inheritance of Tools” by Scott Russell Sanders begins by describing how the author and his father were both doing carpentry work when the latter passed away, one on a house in Oklahoma, and the other on a bedroom wall in the bedroom of his own home. The moment before he gets the news, Sanders hits his thumb with a hammer, an accident which he links to the death of his father.

Sanders knows that the only realistic

This poem brings memories of the smell of fresh sawed wood and learning to drive nails when I was five. Daniels tells of his grandfather's life. A man who worked a lifetime doing what he loves. This is a sad tale not only of his grandfather's life and love of his work. It is also the even sadder story of the decline of the craftsman's trade that was once the backbone of American Industry.

“It was like being on a ranch in the middle of Wyoming,” he said. “It was more than rural. He was homesteading like a pioneer. I remember being struck by the fact that he grew his own pear trees, which he used for the fruit, as well as for carving into fine-cut slabs he would use for wood-block printing. Everything had a purpose.”

John Wood (2017), refers to jazz as a national craze attributed to the widespread popularity of the phonograph. The growing interest of the genre stemmed from two cities: Chicago and New York.

I feel inspired by him because of the fact that his work seems so care free, as if he did it without caring how the final product will turn out to look. This made me extremely interested in him, also due to my style being very similar to his. I prefer being care free and rough, without knowing how the end product will turn out. To me it's about the emotion that one puts in while doing the work and then being surprised at the end. Working quickly and roughly is the way I express my feelings and I feel like Schiele does the
