episode, Chuck appears as a privileged, woman-obsessed teenager. In fact, referring to the show’s primary protagonist, Serena, he suggests, “that level of perfection needs to be violated.” Later, referring to Blair Waldorf, he insists his friend, Nate Archibald, should “tap that ass.” Ultimately, Chuck only views his female counterparts as sexual objects, not human beings.

The book of Job made it clear in the bible that God was not giving or taking anything because of our own achievement, but that all things good and bad are from God.

Whenever I’m in one, I feel anxious and claustrophobic; I’m afraid that it’ll get stuck, or worse, fall several stories down. I press the button of the floor I’m going to, six.

Brett Whiteley's studio with his furniture and his other artworks around him. I think that this painting feels calm. For this painting Brett Whiteley used a large canvas which he was inspired by Henri Matisse. Brett Whiteley received a first archibald prize, for this artwork in 1976. I think that Brett whiteley explores his own environment and in the way he interprets the world. The painting included a snippet of real hair as well as a self portrait of brett whiteley in the mirror.

Ben Quilty was born in 1973 and is an Australian Artist. He works predominantly in an impasto style. This term describes the thickly textured paint that, when used, appears three-dimensional, often applied by Quilty with a palette knife or brush and leaving the brush strokes visible.

The American Hero “Heroes and victims are the product of the mood they were in when opportunity came or when circumstances were at their worst” said Orson Scott Card.
