Victory Boulevard

On Monday, October 16, 2017, around 1:00 o’clock—2:00 o’clock PM, my partner, Shantelle, and I broke the elevator norm. Our setting took place at Miami Beach Community Health Center North (Address: 11645 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33181) and the number of observers was about twenty. The observers aged between 20 plus through 70 plus, we had observers from a pregnant woman to an old man in a wheelchair, and from nurses to a security guard. Most of our spectators were women and few were men, and race

SUNSET BOULEVARD Institution Name The movie Sunset Boulevard written by Billy Wilder highlights the screenwriter’s potential of making a reflexive film more than focusing on the style and aesthetics. The movie revolves around the life of a fallen silent movie star, Norma Desmond, and her fame delusions. With the introduction of the sound in the film industry, she is brushed off and forgotten not only by her associates but also by her dear fans. This lifestyle change caused her to be

Movie Industry/Hollywood Hollywoodland, known as the most recognizable film industry in the world from the 1920’s to now, slowly went from black and white silent movies to colorful motion pictures in the screens. This lead to a major production of movies along the road and introduction to big world famous stars that helped with the expansion of the entertainment business. Hollywood became an overnight success during the 1920’s by making improvements in the film and motion picture industry. Some

The Flushing Memorial, made by H. A. MacNeil, is a sculpture of pink marble. The statue is located near the intersection of Northern Boulevard and Leavitt Street and is a public monument to the fallen heroes of World War I. The statue’s subject is a winged female figure standing on a pedestal in front of a stele.

When we look back at these two different periods of art sculpture we can see the great difference between the two stylistic choices of art. Behind each hunk of stone reads perfect anatomy and certain expressions. One features a more dazed stone face and one gives life for more emotion made within the stone. The Classical Period and Hellenistic period also look somewhat similar from a glance are very different in feeling and meaning. The Classical Period started around the 5th century BC. This period

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, also referred to as the Nike of Samothrace, is a marble Hellenistic sculpture of The Greek goddess of victory, Nike. Created in 190 BC by an unknown artist and constructed with parian marble, it stands at 5.57 meters although the goddess herself stands only at 2.75 meters. The sculpture was discovered in 1863 on the island of Samothrace on a French exploration led by amateur archaeologist Charles Champoiseau. In its original setting, the Nike was mounted on the prow

“The moth shook its sodden clumps of wing” (Dillard 160). A quote as powerful as this one captures the depth of Dillard's views, which have a crippling effect on her outlook towards life. Dillard’s environment is similar to that of the moth’s, a limited amount of space to grow and prosper.

Looking back to all the writing assignments that I completed during the course of the semester, I feel that I have gained a large amount of knowledge in a variety of different works. The Literary Response papers helped me gain insight on the culture and beliefs during the period that we were studying; and the Homework assignment papers allowed me to further research and analyze works so that I have more of an in depth knowledge about the pieces. Learning about the different cultures, has in a sense

Winged Victory: The Nike of Samothrace The Nike of Samothrace (fig. 1) Charles Champoiseau uncovered pieces of masterfully worked Parian marble in April of 1863.1 On Samothraki, the island from which Poseidon is said to have watched the fall of Troy, these segments of stone came together to form four main sections: a torso, a headless bust, a section of drapery, and a wing.2 The sections were shaped to be assembled though the use of cantilevering and metal dowels, allowing
