In the past, many people have tried to interpret what the Founding Fathers were really thinking when they wrote the constitution. Some say that there is Divine inspiration behind the document or that the intention of the Constitution was to control and direct us. There are many different beliefs about the intentions the Founding Fathers had while writing the Constitution. Charles Beard and John P. Roche have both attempted to define what the Founding Fathers were really up to at the convention.

Instead, he made many collages depicting life with different perspectives, allowing the viewer to see reality, but also try to figure out the true meaning that Bearden meant to portray in the collage that was not directly seen by just looking at the picture. These collages were made by “Cut and pasted printed, colored and metallic papers, photostats, pencil, ink marker, gouache, watercolor, and pen and ink on Masonite” (MET Museum). Bearden liked telling narratives within these collages involving Harlem life. Whether it was on the streets, inside

Bearden derived his autobiographical and metaphorical imagery from a cultural heritage rooted in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, where he was born. This region was the home of Bearden's paternal family, and Bearden returned there for visits throughout his childhood. About 1914, he moved with his parents to New York City--settling in Harlem--as part of the African-American Great Migration north.

George Gray “George Gray” is a poem about a man who missed out on many of life’s opportunities because he was so afraid of failure that he did not even try. He passed up love because he was afraid of being hurt, ambition because he dreaded all the changes that came with it and sorrow because he feared the pain. The poem begins with “George” staring at his own gravestone and realizing that there was nothing special to be said about him because he had done nothing with his life. He looked back on his life and realized that it would be so much harder then to regain all of his missed opportunities. The whole poem was a metaphor using a boat to represent “George’s” life and at the end, he let the boat sail freely and be guided by the winds
The early memories of Jeanette Walls are stories of wonderful adventures in small desert towns or in the Northeastern Mountains. Walls and her brother, Brian, or sister, Lori ventured together around the United States, along with her parents Rex and Rose Mary.
