This essay discusses the origins of Postmodernism in art and architecture in terms of Venturi’s critique and explains the meaning of the term “puritanical moral language.” It will define alternatives posed by Venturi and give examples of works by two Australian architects. The first architect is Glenn Murcutt, whose love of the Australian landscape has been the inspiration for many of his buildings. The second is architectural firm McBride Charles Ryan, a partnership of Debbie Ryan (Interior Designer)

In the 1950’s, Duplessis and is government called “Union National’’ were in power in Quebec province. That period called the Great Darkness is characterised by the fact that instead of taking a step forward like most countries, Quebec took a big leap back. A lot of people fought back and tried to take him out in order to stop the conservatism and to follow the path that the rest of the world was already following. Some of those rebellious were the authors of The Total Refusal, an important book in

The Sea at Le Havre, painted by Claude Monet in 1868, is a 23 5/8” x 24 3/8” oil on canvas landscape painting. Monet was a French artist who lived from 1840 to 1926 and was considered to be an impressionist. A unique quality of Monet was unblended “sloppy” brushstrokes combined with a use of precise choice of color, as seen clearly in The Sea at Le Havre. Because of his vigorous and richly textured painting style, Monet was able to capture the look and feel of the movement of water, which was demonstrated

In Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables the actions of main character Jean Valjean are largely influenced by Myriel, Bishop of Digne. The book follows Jean Valjean throughout his life as an ex-convict. Due to his criminal past he is an outcast, with little to no chance of living a meaningfull life. In this book Jean attempts to redeem himself, help the needy, and keep his conscience pure. This progression was all started when Myriel, Bishop of Digne gave him a straw bed to sleep on. When he first arrives

out of their lives as well. The purpose of this paper is to look at Les Misérables as equipment for living explored through Hyde’s acknowledgment in order to reinforce that stories teach people how to live moral lives, which of course requires the communicative act of acknowledgment to take place. Hugo writes Les Misérables in a way that teaches the audience what is important in life and where they should focus their attention. Les Misérables is crucial in this historical moment because to this day

Le Corbusier – A flawed Visionary In an article that appeared on a blog in 2005, the then street riots in France led some commentators to have a closer look at the living quarters of the rioters. Several writers had pointed to the depressed environments in which many of the young rioters lived. Most of them, it seemed, lived in public housing complexes, which in their design were often linked to the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. Let’s look at another example, the Pruitt Igoe urban housing

Chapter 7-...or the Bible In Araby, the beginning of the story starts off with a description of the house in which the boy lives in which includes the mentioning of an apple tree alone in the middle of the yard. The apple tree is a direct allusion to the apple tree in the Genesis story of Adam and Eve where they lived in a garden and could not eat from the apple tree. When the narrator says, “I bore my chalice safely through a throng of foes”, the chalice represents a holy cup and him carrying it

I agree with the statement that in the novel Les Miserables, the author Victor Hugo is trying to say that human nature is basically good. In the most basic sense, the definition of good trying to do the right thing, even if there are negative consequences. It often means having to sacrifice and give up something to do the right thing. Throughout the book, many characters sacrifice their happiness and morals in order to do what they believe is the right and fair thing. Even when faced with serious

Throughout history, people have held people to standards and judged people. In Les Miserables and the Kite Runner both societies had ideas on what was civilized and what was barbaric. This can be seen when characters had to change who they were in order to fit into what was civilized and not be different. In Les Miserables a demonstration of this is shown when Jean Valjean had to pretend to be something he’s not in order to fit in with the society. Jean Valjean was labeled as a convict just because

civilized or barbaric tendencies. The masses decide when power is abused and what is considered barbaric. A small faction of society believes differently from others creating this discord; that is why there is always opposition prevalent in society. In Les Miserables and The Kite Runner, there is strife happening in many relationships that display the aspects of society. Gender gives you power; males are considered more powerful in comparison to women as a result of their physical makeup. People also
