Queen, by Audrey Flack is a very captivating piece of artwork. It was painted in 1976, originally Audrey Flack took a picture and then used it as the basis for this painting. Queen is a painting of box that is full of special mementos. It has features such as a quarter of an open orange, a rose, a pocket watch, a queen playing card, a locket of an older and a younger woman, lip balm, perfume, a chess piece, blush, and a chain necklace with the letter “F” on it. The painting almost looks like a vanity drawer or a keepsake drawer. However, realizing the fruits and flower in the painting I understood it to be a collection of the artist's memories as opposed to a drawer. Audrey Flack was demonstrating the many things that were significant to her while aging. Queen signifies the fight against time. It shows that no matter what possessions you retain it will not keep you young. No one can win the battle against time.

The structure of the passage establishes a metaphorical

We arrived at Queenie and Arthur Volupies at 1:20am. When we arrived Arthur was dead at the scene. Queenie claimed Arthur had fallen down the stairs going to get another drink. The evidence does not support what Queenie claimed. First, When Arthur fell down the stairs he landed with his feet on the stairs and his head on the ground. When people fall down the stairs they usually land on their stomach or face or try to catch themselves, they don’t land up upside down. So someone must have pushed him down the stairs or he was put at the bottom of the stairs. Additionally, when Arthur fell down the stairs he land with a cup in his left hand unbroken. If a person was to fall down the stairs with a glass in their hand it would either shatter or

She writes not only to help herself cope, but also to help the thousands of women battling breast cancer who share those same fears along with her.

The theme of the story can be about individualism or perhaps that ones choices as an individual can and will have consequences. When Queenie and the two other girls enter the store in only their bathing suits, they were displaying their individuality together, but they also had to face the consequences for that when Lengal embarrassed them at the till. Another example of the theme is when Sammy quit (trying to impress the girls) he neither got the girl and now has no job. The way the story was written in the first person made Sammy’s character very believable to me, because it allowed me to see what he was thinking, and what he was thinking was similar to me as a teenager, shortsighted and with an obsession with girls. What I found most engaging
