You Don T Know Me Analysis

One of the strongest literary images I experienced was while reading from Of Wolves and Men by Barry Holston Lopez.While reading the story Barry Holston Lopez was describing what the wolf looked like, he said:"The wolf weighs ninety-four pounds and stands thirty inches at the shoulder. His feet are enormous, leaving prints in the mud along a creek". In my opinion, Barry Holston Lopez did an astounding job describing what the wolf looked like. One of the reasons this was so memorable was because for me it was so easy to imagine what the wolf looked like due to of how well Barry Holston Lopez explained it in such detail. This really contributed to the main idea of the text because it helped you experience the story so much

The poem I pick to do my verbal-visual collage on is "Where There's a Wall" by Joy Kogawa. In this collage, I think the first thing you will see is the stickman and the wall. I use the stickman to represent kogawa, and the wall is use to symbolize the problem that he is facing at that moment. Next to Kogawa on the right side of him, you will see different types of images and words that Kogawa is thinking of at that moment. These images and words are used to the represent possible solution for him to use to overcome the problem in front of him, and also to tell the readers that there are usually more than one solution to a problem too. Lastly, in this collage, we have the wall and everything behind it. Like I said earlier, the wall is a symbol

Duke Ellington composed thousands of pieces throughout his career. Ellington's music made him stand out and allowed his listeners to have many experiences they had never had before. One of his most popular songs was “It Don’t Mean a Thing, if It Ain’t Got That Swing”. Duke Ellington’s song, “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” was written in the summer of 1931. The piece was released on February 2, 1932, on the Brunswick Record label. Ellington hired vocalist, Ivie Anderson, to sing the piece and appear on the Ellington record. A number of Ellington’s hits were sung by Ivie Anderson, but “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” broadened both of the artist's’ fame. This piece proved many of Ellington’s hidden talents. For instance, “this song lifted Ellington out of the category of simply ‘bandleader’ to composer” (). “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” is one of Duke Ellington’s best-known pieces.

Many wonderful Disney songs have impacted and changed or childhood greatly, yet often times some people fail to understand the meaning of it. “You've Got a Friend in Me”, by Randy Newman, is a favorable Disney classic that explains how true friends can help you tremendously when you are in a tough situation. This song relates remarkably well to the book, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, by Ann Brashares, in which both stories discuss how a friend can help and give you the support and encouragement to be successful. For instance, Lena helped Bridget boost her confidence after a complicated incidence occurred. Newman addressed, “there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you, We stick together, we can see it through...”. In this statement,

Thomas Merton once said "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time". This is completely true. Throughout the semester we have gone through almost as many as 300 pictures we view, learn, decompose into the criteria it meets and talk about the controversial things it has, while we do this we don't recognize that we also identify the form, content, iconography, and context. All four areas are what the paint, picture or sculptures identity is. I was lucky enough to visit my buddy out at WIU. There are many works in the art gallery, around the union and even outside walking around, but one that did catch my attention and had me thinking about it for quite some time. It was a painting called Memorialized by Tyanna Buie, was made in 2011 and measures 38’’x50’’. The content it has is beautiful, the form is wicked, context is superb and iconography is permanent. It reminds me of artwork we've gone through the semester. The painting was being showed at the art gallery in end of March. It’s now May and I can still picture it in my head so detailed, without even looking at a picture of it. It’s a piece of work I have connected to, yet lost myself in.

     Art, in each and every form that it comes in, shows us who we are. Our

The first of the three studios we visit was the studio of our teaching assistant Mills. Mills’ work is primarily collage based with photographs and clippings from magazines. Mills is now trying to experiment with some instillation techniques as well. One collection of Mills’ work uses photographs of her home and meaningful places in her life, in the piece everything is symmetrical and reflects itself, but forms one shape. Mills uses photographs frequently in all her work, but it is not the only element of her art she also incorporates other materials such as yarn and wood into some of her newer installations. I found all her work very interesting as they combine images and made them into a new story other than the original ones they told. I

My artistic goal is to give one hundred percent to whatever visual I feel is communicating something words wouldn’t have said any better. Aiming to increase the dynamic between audience and creator, by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations. My skillset allows me to work in a variety of mediums, yet my favorite is pastel because it’s so swift and feels like an extension of my fingers, not to mention the vibrant colors translated through a tiny bit of chalk. My work has been influenced by loss of security, the black experience, my southern identity, and personal epiphanies. With Plato’s allegory of the cave in mind, my works can be seen as self-portraits; sometimes they appear idiosyncratic

The use of themes and language in the story help shine some new light on John’s hometown as portrayed in the

Many are rich many are poor many have money many don’t. Have you ever had a moment where you did something selfish for desperation of money and karma hit you right back with a right hook?. And felt regret towards yourself. In the short story “Why, You Reckon” the author uses irony and dialogue, to show the audience that money can't buy happiness.

In the book some physical qualities of john is six feet tall. With some brownish long hair. And blue gigantic eyes with a handsome body. Johns actions in the book really defined him with all the bad things he did. He always hated schools and was a big prankster. John would always make smoke bombs and would sit them off in the guy's bathroom. Outside of school he would always drink and smoke a lot of cigarettes with

Hi Tracy, thank you for the insightful post regarding I-Thou relationships. I face another stage of uncertainty in life. I find life mundane as I grow older disappointed where I stand. I continue to seek to discover where God desires for me to use my talents. Each time I feel confident of my life course, my life shifts and again. When my life shifts, I require reset of my goals and objectives. However, two books have been encouraging me during uncertainty. The books are called You Matter More than you think by Dr. Leslie Parrot and Home Run by Kevin Myers. I learned to embrace each difficulty as a gift to fall forward. Both books describe how contempt and disgruntlement in life does not equate to gratitude. A grateful heart appreciates the

“How does the image relate to the self?”(Jones 2006) made me think of how different artists/ photographers present and represent different things in their work, in many different ways. From things that are actually seen in the images to things like thoughts and feelings that are represented through certain aspects of the image but cannot be seen only felt. I feel like this quote helps me back that up “Representation is understood to be adequate to objects like snow, gravestones, and trees, whose very visibility can be understood as a sign of the unrepresentability of the concepts or feelings that make them worth representing.”(Elkins 2008). To help me form

I can not stand you. Don't get me wrong, I love you, but I can not stand you. I don't like you. I have no respect for you. When you enter the oom my mod is immedietly dimmed. Maybe you've been getting a negative vibe from me and that is why. I am so very angry at you. You seriously considered abandoning your family on multiple occassions, three times that I'm aware of - in the last year. I would go as far as to say that you did abandon us Let me explain ( because ma disagrees). You packed all of your stuff, said your goodbyes (poorly might I add, but more on that in a moment), and you left. You just drove away like ten years meant nothing, like raising me, us, was forgotten, like we weren't worth anymore effort. Now, back to your poor excuse of a goodbye.

The time period in which the story, Everything I Never Told You by Celestine Ng is modern and realistic. It’s easier to relate to the story and the characters in comparison to the other texts we’ve read this year, because the author mentions places and activities people might still know today. Additionally, the writing style is straightforward unlike Romeo and Juliet. When reading the story, I developed a distaste for all the characters except Nath and Lydia. In my opinion, Ng purposely portrays the parents in a negative light, in order to justify the behavior of the children. Ng writes, “That long-ago day, sitting in this very spot on the dock, she had already begun to feel it: how hard it would be to inherit their parents' dreams. How suffocating
