Shawls and wraps

introduced innovations in the Kashmiri Shawl? After briefly discussing the genesis of the Kashmiri Shawls we will now try to explore another main aspect of this study that is who really transformed Kashmiri shawl industry. All the historical chronicles and travelogues have overstated the role of the Kings in the development of the Kashmiri shawls. Nowhere is the role of the local communities delineated. Almost all historians and scholars who have worked on shawls have consensus on the “fact” that all

The Function of the Shawl in Ozick’s “The Shawl” Suffering becomes a way of life for Magda, Stella and Rosa, as they struggle to survive during the Holocaust. During these trying times, some cling to ideals and dreams, while others find unusual vessels of hope – like the shawl – to perdure in their austere living conditions. Although the shawl becomes a source of conflict between Magda, Stella and Rosa in this narrative, it also serves as a pivotal force and a motivational factor. In Ozick’s

It is an exhilirating feeling, that can instantly increase the quality of a child's day. Nisi Shawl does a wonderful job of recreating this experience. In the novel "Everfair" by Nisi Shawl, Shawl uses the process of bike ride, to convey a feeling of adventure and exhoneration by using strong literary techniques. Shawl creates a sense of contempt in the bike ride for Lisette. Throughout the story, Shawl creates the image of Lisette escaping from life while riding her bike. In the last paragraph,

In “The Shawl”, Cynthia Ozick uses vivid details throughout the story to engage the reader. The story portrays the hard times Jews had during the Holocaust in a concentration camp consisting of three main characters: Rosa, Stella, and Magda who are trying to survive the horror of Nazism through a magical shawl. Rosa is the mother of Magda, a fifteen month baby and the aunt of Stella, a fourteen year old girl. The shawl is the only thing keeping them alive throughout the story and at the end it leads

near the waist and along the inside of both arms. The female effigy had narrow breasts. The curving band also had a large oval as it wraps from the front over to the back. The female effigy had the hole on the back of the head, shoulder spirals, a hair bun and pierced ears. A negative-painted ceramic effigy was shown a woman clothed in a negative-painted patterned shawl. The female effigy vessels and figurines examined in this study are primarily distinguished by their decoration with one distinctive

From Chinese Art to Chinoiserie ‘Chinoiserie’ is used to describe a European fantasy vision of China. The exchange between East and West was sporadic for centuries, and China remained more like a myth than a reality. The Westerners made up mysterious stories about the unknown land. Their beliefs about China originated from the depictions on the goods exported to the West. However, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, actual contact and trade with the West became more frequent. Chinese

Girl in the Yellow Shawl When I wake up, the first thing I feel is an aching pain in my feet. The pain moves on to my stomach, filling my belly with an unpleasantly hollow sensation. Then the ache proceeds to my head, pounding against the back of my skull. Pain is not an unusual or foreign sensation to me; we two are as familiar as a pair of twins in the womb. As I grow more aware, the ache of my body becomes more persistent. My feet are mostly numb except for the occasional sting of the cold snow

On Saturday, June 15 I attended the Civil War and American Art exhibit at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. There were a number of different people who were present on this occasion. I believe there were so many people there because this is one of the better known art galleries throughout New York. Additionally, the fact that today was part of the weekend probably contributed to the massive crowds of people present. Not everyone was there to attend the Civil War and American Art exhibit, however;

way. In “Be Nobody’s Darling”, the narrator is telling the reader to go against society, to “be an outcast”, or to not follow the crowd, but to go in the opposite direction. The narrator says to “take the contradictions of your life, and wrap around you like a shawl” which is saying to turn bad scenarios into good ones. The main meaning for this poem in my opinion is to show that the reader doesn’t have to follow the trends, and if they don’t that isn’t bad. In the poem “Invictus” self identity is

Slipping back into her dream, she was no longer in the church. Dream Fianna had just reached the market in the village square with her sisters and the cart. Scouring the marketplace for the shawl maker, the girls were approached by a middle-aged woman leading a bedraggled nag attached to a cart stacked with knitted goods. Laboriously, the lady plodded along, dragging her left leg. Dream Fianna smiled shyly at the woman. This wasn’t part of the lesson, Fianna told them. I never met this woman in
