The Last Judgement By Selma Burke Analysis

There will come a Time by Carrie Arcos is a rich, thrilling novel filled with so many different kinds of emotions. A story that was able to develop itself around grief, loss, and friendship. After losing his twin sister Grace in a horrific car accident, seventeen year old Mark must learn to move on and forgive himself. He must learn to deal with his sadness, and anger and rediscover himself without his other half, grace. Grief is something we all deal with in different ways: some lash out, some harm themselves, and then there are some like mark who completely isolate themselves from the world. Mark lets the loss take over his entire life constantly wishing he was the one who'd died instead. The only place where Mark was able to find the

WAKE” by Amanda Hocking is a fictional-detective novel about a sixteen year old girl named Gemma, who’s obsession about one day living in the ocean becomes her worst nightmare. St. Martin’s Press of New York, New York published the 309-page novel. When placing an audience to this novel, I would say that the author intended the material to attract young adult women. However, the book was a lot more complex then I would have thought, having multiple twist in the story line. Thus, turning an innocent love story that I presumed it to be, into a mystical mystery that it proved itself to be.

In the visual arts, composition is the way to build a work to communicate the intent of the art in the brightest and most persuasive way. The most important thing in composition is the creation of the artistic image. The Last Supper’s composition is very ingenious. Sebastiano arranges the disciples into groups of three, each side of Jesus has two groups. All lines and gestures are centered toward Jesus. From one group to the other, the artist makes an effort to connect with one another in a very natural way; the example of the guy stands on the opposite side of the table on Jesus’s right is putting his hand on the guy’s shoulder that sits next to him to connect the two right-wing groups, and between the two groups on the left, they were making eye contacts.

Faith Ringgold composed this piece by using oil paints on a 31 by 19 inch canvas. It is depicting the struggles that her community and herself were facing while trying to gain equal rights from the majority of white American culture. She uses line, shape, color, value and texture

Every soul will be judged and the good will go to heaven and the damned will go to hell. The sculpture vividly expresses the emotional intensity of what the afterlife will look like. On the left-side the sculpture shows “heaven” the figures show that they are at peace because they know their souls have been saved. The children are laughing and the angels are blowing their trumpets with joy in anticipation of Christs’ return. As for the right-side it tells of what “Hell” maybe like, demons are weighing the souls and claiming them. It shows people suffering, crying and realizing that they’re going to hell for

The artwork addresses the issue of racial and cultural oppression that can relate to the theme of domesticity, which deeply connect to what I feel most of the time. Racial and cultural differences is a huge part of my life as I travel around the world often, this artworks once again reminds to always remember my culture despite being alone in another country. This piece really brings me comforts and takes me back to my childhood memory as if I’m the girl in Ringgold’s

According to Michael McMillan, “You can’t start the next chapter in your life if you keep re-reading the last one.” I first heard this quote from my sister when I came home crying one day from school, but I didn’t understand it. It’s not that the author’s intentions didn’t make sense to me, but rather the meaning behind the words. At this time in my life I was blind to the thought of forgiveness. I felt that it was better to dwell on the past rather than move forward and push for the future. Holding grudges was easy for me, and I was remarkably good at it.

The book Jim Crow on Trial is very much centered around subjects of justice and fairness. As it follows a real court case, if must do so. The boys suffer through a time of unfair and often cruel treatment. They are accused by 2 white girls, tried by bias and racist juries, and finally, thrice convicted of rape and sentenced to death. In their last trial, some had their charges dropped, and others received only life in prison. Those in prison eventually left on parole. Only one of the boys was pardoned pre mortem, the rest pardoned 80 years after being accused. So could one honestly say they received justice? Or is there a time limit on this? I believe so, and I don’t think they got the justice due to them.

To begin, I will tell you a story. A little girl’s biological father called Child Protective Services on her new stepdad with false allegations. Consequently, the family had to separate for a period of time, while CPS looked into it. In everyday life there are examples of injustice and justice. The story I started with, is an example of injustice because the biological father tore the family apart over false allegations, which is not just. We can learn and relate to many other examples as well. In the novels, To Kill A Mockingbird and Lay That Trumpet in Our Hands, there are many examples of this. Justice and injustice are two important things that can teach us a lot.

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel that takes place throughout the 1930s in a small town in Alabama called Maycomb. During this time period, people dealt with large amounts of discrimination, along with the effects of the Great Depression. Harper Lee is able to develop various themes using this setting, such as the stereotyping of gender roles, loss of innocence, excess violence, superstition, and prejudice. Some readers believe that the theme of innocence is most relevant to the novel as its message directly relates to Scout and Jem Finch, two major characters in the story. However, the theme of prejudice and superstition is more prevalent. This theme creates a well-developed storyline for the different “mockingbirds” in the novel while also projecting the actual struggles that came with living in the 1930s. Readers should understand these themes because it is important for them to realize that prejudice leads to injustice, negatively affecting society as a result. Not only that, readers will become more aware of the fact that these problems are still impacting people to this day. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee expresses the theme of prejudice and superstition through several characters, including Tom Robinson, Dolphus Raymond, and Boo Radley, to reveal how these judgements ultimately lead to the downfall of Maycomb.

The artpiece for me, interprets a depressed girl who has nothing to do with her life. She suffering from anxiety and thinks that no one understands her until the angel came and made her

A father smiling down at his son; a teacher learning from his pupil; a soldier gazing up to his country’s flag. Or a woman masking her face with makeup; a man boasting endlessly of a talent; a child cruelly mocking another child. All textbook examples of pride. Nevertheless, the first trio is of outward pride—pride not of one’s accomplishment, but those of someone or something else. The second trio consists of an inner pride—vain, conceited, and egotistical. As Jane Austen said, “A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.” Although “pride goeth before the fall”, it has the capacity to be healthy if it is outward or relating to our—not society’s—view of ourselves.

How would you feel if you had done all you could to help someone that you felt sorry for, but they twisted the story and now you are sitting in court waiting to go to jail because no one will believe your side of the story? With this situation, an honest man’s innocence has been lost. As Scout grows up, she realizes there is more to the story than she is told. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout is forced to believe other people’s perspectives due to living in the 1930’s. Through the loss of innocence of a respectable African American Tom Robinson, her brother Jem Finch, and the town hermit Boo Radley, Scout is able to understand the reality of what society is all about.

One of the themes in many short stories is the changing roles of women. Choose four female characters from at least three different stories. Explain how each character conforms to and/or changes the typical role(s) assigned to women by society.

These two paintings have an impact on how the Catholic Church views Jesus. The painting of 'The Last Supper' creates a Christian service, ceremony or sacrament called the Eucharist. This includes the breaking of the bread and the drinking of the wine, which Jesus did with his apostles on his last night. The Catholic Church believes that when you break the bread and eat it, you're eating the Body of Christ and when you drink the wine, you're drinking the Blood of Christ. Christians do this as they believe it will urge the remembrance of Jesus. The second painting called 'The Last Judgement' is believed to be a place that all humankind will go at the end of the world or after they die. In this painting, Christians believe that Christ as judge
