Really, what else can I take?
I try to keep my skin covered.
It seems like I'm aging prematurely.
I'm not shy about baring it all
I have a very long way to go before I can claim the title of empress.
Before starting a family, I want to get married.
Where have I gone wrong?
My womb keeps on bursting with new life.
How come she keeps having kids?
Many years have been spent on my education.
Truthfully, I should know where I stand.
I leave my seat in the classroom.
My life seems aimless right now.
I make every effort to support myself financially.
Given how critical I am of myself, I doubt a romantic partner would change that.
A person who cannot provide for me is not someone I want to be with.
My name is lazy, and I don't work.
I hope I make a great impression on you.
We're being used by you.
No longer do I conform to your preconceived notions of myself.
You just discard us like trash.
Really, what else can I take?
Currently, my back is hurting quite a bit.
As always, you're giving me more to do.
Because I did not have access to the humanities textbook, I decided to choose an object that had significant creative meaning for me. My selection is a painting by the late master artist Annie Lee that is available in an open edition and depicts a weary but determined African-American lady on a Monday morning. Blue Monday was conceived as a result of Lee's experiences working on the train. Annie's Blue Monday was the sole self-portrait she ever painted, despite the fact that Lee left her face out of the painting. Her line of thinking was that anybody may experience a Blue Monday just as she did. Lee had high hopes that her clientele would be able to put themselves in the shoes of the various characters and re-create the events of the novel using their own bodies. It would seem that my translation is accurate in this instance. As African American women, we face a large list of expectations and responsibilities even when we do something as simple as getting out of bed. As long as we keep moving forward, regardless of how challenging the situation may be, the rest of the world will hold us to the standard that we establish. You may consider the image to be a representation of it in your mind. All of that exhaustion, the need for a break, the feeling that the weight of the world is on your shoulders. There is an instance of every essential component being present. And I think that my ekphrasis does a very good job of complementing the piece of artwork.

Not Seen on TV
Francis Als's two-channel film Re-enactments depicts the artist being followed by police while carrying a loaded pistol through the streets of central Mexico City. After avoiding punishment, Als recreates the same act using film collected by his confederate, the artist Rafael Ortega. The two movies that make up Re-enactments, "Real" and "Re-enactment," compare and contrast recordings of these two performances, capturing the same event from radically different perspectives. In re-enactments, the performance and the documentation are inseparable; the archival film from the original performance is used to guide the construction of a new video documenting the re-enactment. This thesis investigates re-enactments as both a live performance that reacts to and is affected by its location in Centro, the downtown area of Mexico City, and as a video performance that painstakingly establishes its surroundings. By making the documentation an integral part of the piece, I think it raises interesting concerns about the conventional connection between live performance and video documentation. I show that the video records in re-enactments do more than merely refer back to the live performance; rather, they function as a key alternative to it, which is something that has been overlooked by previous scholarship on this work. By contextualizing re-enactments inside Mexico City at the turn of the twentieth century, I show how the work reacts to its immediate physical environment and popular media representations of the city. By acting out a crime and spreading it throughout the world, re-enactments both contribute to the stereotype of Mexico City as a dangerous place and challenge that image. Although the movies in Re-enactments are inspired by generalizations about violent crime in Mexico City, they also bear witness to the processes by which these generalizations are generated by revealing the film editors' choices. The films that make up re-enactments focus less on accurately recording what happened during the performance and more on the performative aspects of documenting.

Hamlet's Act IV, Scene 5
Hamlet's Act IV, Scene 5 is one of the play's lesser-known yet crucial scenes. Horatio has been summoned to Elsinore Castle by Queen Gertrude, who needs him to bring bad news. At the start of the play, Gertrude and Horatio talk about what's been going on at the castle recently, including the deaths of Polonius and Ophelia. Gertrude then reveals that Ophelia's brother Laertes has returned to Denmark seeking revenge for the deaths of his parents and sister. She also lets Horatio know that she's received a letter from Hamlet, in which he reveals his whereabouts and issues a dire threat.
The news that Laertes has broken through the castle walls arrives suddenly, accompanied by a swarm of angry supporters. When Laertes bursts in, sword drawn, demanding to know who killed his father and sister, the two characters escape in terror. Shakespeare uses this scene to show the deadly power of revenge and the consequences of unresolved conflict. Laertes's death is the culmination of the chaos and devastation he caused in his relentless quest for vengeance. Laertes' anger is only fueled by Gertrude's decision to conceal the truth about Hamlet's conduct.
Overall, Scene 5 of Act IV is a wonderful example of Shakespeare's skill in intricately weaving together tale threads and concepts. Although it is not as well-known as some of the other scenes in the play, it is an essential part of the drama and a perfect example of Shakespeare's masterful storytelling.

The Anatomy Of A Scene
Max Richter's "On the Nature of Daylight" plays over the opening shots of Arrival, giving the audience a foreshadowing of what is to come. This particular track is used in numerous films (I've seen it in at least six or seven, including Shutter Island and The Innocents), and is the saddest song in the world, in my opinion. Amy Adams has a major role in Arrival. In the last hour of "Twilight," a gloomy feeling rapidly permeates the whole movie. As the tale opens, we learn that Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams) has suffered a devastating loss: Massive pod-shaped vehicles suddenly drop from the sky and hover over 12 distinct locations on Earth.
No one can explain why. Nothing happens, in fact. Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker), a member of military intelligence, visits Dr. Banks to ask for her assistance in investigating and communicating with whichever intelligence is behind the landing as governments around the world try to figure out what it means and as people in those countries react by looting, joining cults, and even committing mass suicide. She travels to the mission location with the renowned quantum scientist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner). With the help of a cynical Agent Halpern (Michael Stuhlbarg), they suit up and board the ship in an attempt to make contact. Avoid giving too much away about the plot, other than the fact that it will make your day to see it unfold.
While it's Denis Villeneuve's (Prisoners, Sicario) and Eric Heisserer's (Lights Out) most inventive film to date, the pace is slower than one would anticipate from an alien invasion movie. For a film dealing with so many complex ideas, it doesn't waste any more time on explanation than is really necessary. Like a Rubik's puzzle in the hands of a virtuoso, nothing in Arrival makes complete sense until the last moments when everything clicks into place. I literally said, "Wow!" and was leaned forward in my chair. The movie was just too good.
Throughout BlacKkKlansman, there's a more fascinating idea floating about that, if addressed, might have resulted in a far more dramatic and terrifying film. At one point, Patrice and Stallworth argue over the positive or negative effects that movies about black people have on the black community. Lee sometimes leans on this connection between black filmmaking of the 1970s and his own depiction of black people in this film by using stills from his prior films as examples. Later in the video, Harry Belafonte addresses the BSU and discusses the lynching of Jesse Washington in Waco in 1916 and the impact that the publication of D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation had on national attitudes toward black people, the revival of the KKK, and the ensuing horrific mutilations and murders. The President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, saw the video at the White House, he informs the BSU students, and called it "history written with lightning."
We transition to scenes of Duke and his KKK chapter watching The Birth of a Nation, where they cheer and pump their fists like they're at a sporting event. Yet Wilson's words are the ones that stay with you. Hollywood has had a significant impact on how Americans see race, helping to cement stereotypes that persist even after the film has ended and find their way into policy debates, political campaigns, and the voting booth. It's hardly a stretch to say that the film accurately portrays the impact of The Birth of a Nation. When coupled with the topic of blaxploitation films and black heroes, the effect is dramatic.
BlacKkKlansman had a tremendous chance to disturb both cinema buffs and casual audiences, since it is more approachable than many of Lee's more recent efforts, by reminding people that it's not only overtly racist films with overtly racist intentions that are to blame. Pictures are captivating for a number of reasons, but when we partake in them blindly, they may do actual damage to actual people. The audience's own complicity in perpetuating stereotypes may be shown via a film's examination of that topic. The film settles for satire of Trump and the Klan, two targets that only a moron would overlook in 2018. It's not totally off base. The fact that its implications are so easy to deduce reflects just how transparent the situation is.
The release of BlacKkKlansman just serves to deepen our disappointment. And the fact that we are able to see through these tragic illusions brings us great joy.

The Godfather and La Jetée
Darkness and shadows heightened criminal culture, violence, and mafia tensions. Yet, The Godfather uses music and other elements to build suspense and drama. The movie's lighting, camera angles, and soundtrack establish the scenario well. The Godfather's tragic scenes hit me hard. How precisely the criminal lifestyle was represented frightened me. This film reinforced my gratitude for not becoming a criminal. The mafia's brutality and lifestyle are disturbing.
La Jetée achieved its aesthetic aims utilizing The Godfather's methodology. Nonetheless, it was shot in black and white. La Jetée and The Godfather benefit from dark lighting. But there is some zooming in and out. Slow, dramatic, symphonic music throughout the film adds tension and drama. It's in black and white, in a language I don't understand, and the photos are completely static. I felt afraid and out of place at La Jetée. That was amazing to see.

Photographer's eye
Sunsets are the ideal time for deep thought. They provide vibrancy to the often shot backdrop. Also, they encourage people to appreciate Mother Nature even more. Despite the fact that they are soothing, sunsets are seldom appreciated. Many people only do this while on vacation at a five-star resort, at the beach, or in a beautiful park. Every day, the sun rises and sets.
Sunsets may be appreciated in any location. It doesn't matter where you are, sunset will be beautiful. In nature, animals and plants are capable doing this. To which I reply, "Why should we be excluded?"
Let me show you a few of my favorite twilight scenes. While you look at these pictures, I'll tell you how I feel. Keep in mind the deeper significance and lasting influence of these sunset images.
Tumblr media
7:40 AM, August 23rd, Downtown Fort Myers, is when I snapped this photo of this beauty. My partner, along with one of our dance crew members and myself were downtown to do something we call "lab" which means to try out some new movements or train in our selected dance styles. On the newly built stage on the pier, is where we completed this. We were sitting on the new stage, but I had the bright idea of taking it to one of our old spots to lab instead. My buddy warned me that our session would be cut short since his speaker was on its last charge. I started walking towards the spot, looking for a place to plug in the speaker. There was no outlet in that location so in other words, I doubled back. As I went back, I worried about every step I took. I was in a hurry to show that I could do better by producing flawless work. As I was walking, I stopped to watch the sun go down behind the bridge. I used my phone to snap a quick photo of the beauty. As the sun goes down, I take a few deep breaths and calm down. My mind slowed and I was at peace. As the sun went down, I knew I had to stop trying to be someone else and start dancing for the sheer joy of it. You don't have to brag or try to be flawless. Just messing around is why I'm here. I sucked in a long breath, relaxed, and realized I could achieve my objective today. The sunset brought to mind the meaning behind my dance. My ambitions became clearer once I took a moment to breathe. This respite was quite welcome. The lab went well that day, safe to say.
Tumblr media
I snapped this photo on the morning of August 29 at 6:30 a.m. So this was a sunrise. Well the story of this photo goes like this. Two of my dance team members, along with my boyfriend and I participated in a Chinatown Chicago dance competition. Though our time in Chicago was filled with unforgettable experiences and encounters with talented artists, all good things must come to an end. Given our flight was boarding soon, we hurried to take an Uber straight to the airport and fly back home to Florida. We beat the morning traffic and made it to the airport without any delays. The sunrise on the way there was beautiful, but I didn't get to watch it for very long because of how fast we were going. There seemed to be no problems when I watched the sun come up that day. The opportunity to do anything arises. Opportunities come and go, but how you seize them is what counts. What's important are your thoughts and feelings about those potential outcomes. All there is to it. Eventually, I anticipated returning to the dance floor. The fact that I had to leave Chicago after having so much fun there made me really irritable. There's no reason for me not to do it again. The muse I felt from this sunrise assured me that I would have another shot at success. On the drive back home, I started planning my next adventure in dance.
Tumblr media
On this day (September 26) at 7:27 p.m. was when I took this breathtaking photo. This day my boyfriend and I were running our rounds completing our Uber orders together. The two of us spoke about our plans for the future, along the ride. The two of us had a mutual appreciation for the sky and spent some time gazing at it while we spoke. The sunset was so beautiful that we had to pause our conversation. The talk shifted from our eagerness about our upcoming future after seeing this sky. We spoke about how patience and education may help you adjust. Thanks to the sunset, I can now piece together what was spoken at the outset of that conversation. That I did not realize immediately. We paused once again, and that momentary flash of inspiration from above illuminated something deeper. Everything, even the sky, takes time. A true appreciation for what led you there is necessary to get the most out of your experience. The lessons and changes in life are part of living. Eventually, you'll look back on those times and be glad you had them. Just how I am for this photo of the sunset, I can forever look at this and have a memory on that beautiful conversation.
Tumblr media
The picture was shot on September 29 at around 7 o'clock at night. Pre-Ian hurricane day. Following the advice of a seasoned mariner, I captured this photo in the open air. "The prettiest times to enjoy the sky are just before and after a storm." That's the advice I learned. This citation needs no explanation. Self-explanatory. It seemed a given that I would see the most stunning sunset ever in Fort Myers just before the storm came. Let's zero in on the profound meaning of this sentence. Sailors utilize this to anticipate storms, so why not use the same principle to forecasting the coming of spiritual or emotional turmoil? Who could have predicted such a terrible storm after something so beautiful like this? What can you do? Everything will be lovely and full of life, but then a storm will come along and cause some discomfort; you'll have to ride it out, but after it's through, everything will return to normal. It's better to focus on the happy ending than the unpleasant ones that lie ahead, since the former is true even if the latter isn't. Awed by the beauty of the sunset, I feel renewed. This experience has given me a valuable lesson… Due to Ian's devastation, everyone came together as a community across Florida to make sure that no one went without...and if you ask me, community is just what this generation needs. All of us coming together as one was the beauty that came after that storm. If that isn't beautiful in your book, then that is because you choose not to see it that way.
Tumblr media
This picture of Naples Park is two days old; I took it. 7:18 p.m. Recently, I've come to appreciate this sunset. In addition to the problem I was having prior to it. What happened during this sunset moved me deeply. My partner and I had a disagreement. As I was feeling down and needed some time alone, I sent him for a stroll. He listened to me and then he backed off. But I respected his wishes to not go far because he was concerned for my safety and wanted to be as close as possible, he did. As I strolled alone across the park, I took in the evening sky. Just as I was crossing this bridge, the sun went down, and I stopped to enjoy the scene. I took pictures. As I walked along, I kept my eyes peeled. My companion and I both looked, and my fury subsided. I learned that I shouldn't allow emotions I could have handled better spoil my adventure. A little disagreement shouldn't keep me from appreciating the gifts of nature. I promptly got over my anger and ego and smiled the rest of the walk. I laughed with myself, smiled at myself, idealized myself, and took cute images of myself in nature. I got back with my boyfriend, and we had a nice long conversation about our problem before calling it a night. That sunset was beautiful, but I wouldn't have appreciated it if I hadn't stopped to take a look at it. Had I not let go of my anger and pride, I would have missed it. That sunset motivated me and served as a reminder to not squander my life worrying about how other people would make me happy or preventing myself from having fun. That one perfect instant centered me and helped me remember why I came. Additionally, I understood that my partner and I are not each other's enemies, but rather the issue was the enemy. Inspiring as the sunset was, I have to say. Think about the good it can do for you as well.
Due to the fast-paced nature of today's society, many individuals believe they just do not have the time to engage in all the pursuits that pique their interest. Modern culture has normalized both consumerism and impatience. 
Researchers from the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management and the Stanford University Graduate School of Business found something remarkable about sunsets in their research. 
The study's subjects who were forced to view sunsets for long periods of time reported increased feelings of time and patience as well as a want to help others. Your life's goal should be to provide happiness not only to yourself, but to everyone around you as well. No matter what is happening in the outside world, you will have a good time if you and the people you're with are having a good time. If you aren't having fun or giving as much of yourself as you could to others, then you should make time to watch the sunset on a regular basis. The beauty and wonder of nature has the power to alter not just your outlook, but your whole way of living. 
Have you ever considered why it is that artists such as authors, painters, romantics, and poets seem to wait till nightfall to get down to business? In order to get the motivation they needed, they decided to watch the sunset. As a result, if you're a creative type in need of some motivation, I highly recommend going out and taking in a sunset. Allow the sunset to inspire you while you write a poem, pen an essay, or paint a picture that will leave your audience guessing. Or let it inspire you through whatever your thoughts and troubles are. Either way however you use it, it is an experience that would benefit you in all ways for the better. Go out and enjoy a sunset, it may teach you something.

Sohrab Sepehri | Untitled | Sensa
Tumblr media
Sohrab Sepehri's poetry and paintings both include deeply spiritual undertones, bearing the imprint of the zen philosophy that impacted him so profoundly. Sepehri's painting is interesting since it accurately depicts the vibrant colors found in the surroundings of his hometown. Unlike his contemporaries, Sepehri is capable of depicting scenes using a wide range of color palettes; he conveys the peaceful essence of his hometown without actually creating an accurate sculpt of the area. This picture nearly reminds me of a lullaby, and I find that it induces a mood of deep peace in me whenever I look at it. Personally. Because it brings me serenity, this exceptional piece of craftsmanship is very important to me. Observing the harmonious interplay of the hues and how they flow into one another. The music conjures up images of a peaceful evening spent by a river with a gentle breeze. The emotionally resonant worth of Sepehri's Untitled. In his masterwork, Sepehri captures the enlightened consciousness at the center of every great work of art. Incorporating cool grays and cool blues, he captures a moment of calm that can have a profound effect on the viewer's state of mind. The contrast of the art's delicacy with its goal, color therapy, and color in his work is a glimpse of the future. It's possible to see Sepehri as discovering the ability to evoke emotion and rendering it so delicately in art. Poet and painter Sohrab Sepehri got his start at Tehran University's School of Fine Arts. This tiny watercolor is indicative of his later studies with Japanese painters. Above and beyond this, his work demonstrates a profound reverence and modesty in the face of nature.

The Process Of Introspective Growth.
Changes in one's life are typically prompted by a quest for self-knowledge. For many of us, the first step on a new route is a sincere and genuine desire to alter our current way of life. You are aware of how challenging this method is, particularly in the outset. In unfamiliar area, our chances of success may be low. Real, lasting transformation requires a collaborative effort. Having a clear idea of our aims is not the same thing as really achieving them. This music represents those journeys, the introspection of difficult obstacles and everything that holds us back, the release of pain and pent-up emotion, and the growth, discovery, and love of oneself that occur on such journeys.
One of the many reasons I adore this song is because of the wonderful development you go through when playing it. There will be times when you feel like you've stumbled across something great, like a new concept. This is the key to unlocking whatever mental barrier a person could be facing. The combination of this item, piece, or sound with this time and place will cause you to experience or think about the world in a new manner. Perhaps there are times when you believe you have solved a problem, only to later discover that you were mistaken. Based on these chords, I see agape to be a mental door opening to a place where inner calm and self-discovery persist throughout one's travels. My perspective is that it's right here. Just hearing the song's intro makes you happy. It's very detailed and striking. When music is this detailed, it allows you to turn within and attempt to conjure up an emotional state in your mind's eye. As soon as I heard this music, I felt an overwhelming feeling of happiness and love for myself. The way this song makes me feel is like I'm on a never-ending learning journey, that I won't know anything until I've discovered everything all.
I chose this song because the story is about a reclusive person who is constantly taught what to do. They sing about breaking up with the "group" or a romantic interest in order to find fulfillment in their lives. My favorite line in the song is:
"Hey hey watch me wave  Goodbye to yesterday  Nothing left in my way"
It's a proclamation of their independence and lack of ownership to his past.
This track was chosen because it provides insight into LaRussell's background and the struggles he overcame in order to achieve success. How these tests never accurately reflected his current condition, his degree of satisfaction, or the long-term objectives he had set for himself. And yet, he persisted, despite all the challenges. When mixed with the thoughts, the song's nostalgic and uplifting melody creates the illusion of traveling through time. In my opinion, this pleasure, along with the nostalgia felt while remembering the past, is a big part of what makes it so exciting for LaRussell to be in a position to look back.
The fact that Scott takes you on a journey through her emotional state was another factor in my decision to go with this song. Describes the path she will take to emerge victorious from whatever gloom or despair she is now experiencing. She is attempting to make sense of it and embrace it; she is certain that she will prevail; she is aware that she has come too far down her path to change who she is at this point. Although this is not the typical illustration, it does illustrate the point rather well.
This song's lyrics reflect the singer's sadness that the emotional and mental challenges she has endured have made her less empathetic. When considered with other works on the same topic, its significance becomes clear. In terms of the transformation aspect, I see the song as a journey of self-love that culminates in embracing the inevitable loss of one's unique self. She felt really vulnerable and exposed during the whole procedure, but particularly when she finally let go of it and embraced her change.
I thought it was fitting to save this song till last since it is about challenges she must face and conquer. She realizes that holding on to her fears, insecurities, and traumatic experiences would prevent her from developing fully. That this is only a momentary setback is something she knows. She adds, "Sometimes I still doubt myself but at least now I love myself and I am quite emotional that's why you can't get close at all. So I start to push away the ones that love me cause I'm scared that they might walk away. I'm not perfect So I try everyday and I grow a little bit." She reflects on her life and acknowledges that she occasionally experiences the feelings associated with the trauma, but she has learned to gently release them and continues trying since she will grow as a result of it. Perfectly fitting the theme, she accepted her vacation, let go, reflected, grew, and loved. Fantastic illustration.
Background music is the kind of music that is playing while someone is going about their daily routine. The alarming rate at which anarchy is spreading over the globe is another cause for concern. Several musical elements, including melody, sensuality, passion, and pleasure, are used to express a wide variety of emotions in these songs. Blues, rage, despair, and the ego's death and subsequent rebirth are just some of the emotions that get a good airing in these tunes. How much you develop into a more whole person is proportionate to how far you go on your chosen route. Your options at this point are to either turn around and go in the direction you came from, press on with your quest, or use what you've learned thus far. You may call it a playlist if you wish, but I see it more as a window into history through which I can examine the circumstances around the release and the catalyst for the shift. Realizing who you are at your core might be a difficult and time-consuming process. Lacking a firm grasp on one's identity and one's place in the world may lead to a pervasive sense of isolation. The good news is that there is still hope. Some people have been in these shoes before, and they came out the other side more resilient and certain in themselves. Listening to music may be a great way to relax and become motivated when life gets tough. It could give you the confidence you need at the right moment, and it might help you put your thoughts into words. But this theme is to show how all of these artists all different in every way, they all went through the same self discovery just with a different story. They all had to experience growth in the same way, by looking within first.

My sensibility, My values, My taste, My style!
Tumblr media
This is a picture of my sisters and I, Mari and Adore, taken during the most recent dance competition that we all participated in. The nuances of my expression in this picture are significant to me because they illustrate how creative I am and how much of my sincerity I convey via this particular style of my artistic expression. In spite of the fact that you are not here, I am still able to get a sense of calm and excitement from looking at this picture, and it is the aspect that appeals to me the most. This picture really captures the energy that we felt as we prepared to provide the judges with a representation of who we are and what we do. This is something that I can relate to on a personal level since it took me a very long time to step out of my comfort zone and acquire confidence in myself when it comes to dancing. When I look at this picture, I see a younger version of myself that is bubbling over with excitement and gratitude for how far we've come with our dancing. This demonstrates to me that if I put up the effort, I am capable of accomplishing anything. This screams perseverance, hard labor, and the passion that I have for what I do. This implies that you should pursue your goals and ambitions despite any obstacles. to maintain consistency, to continue practicing, and to continue improving at whatever it is that you have put your mind to doing. Following your aspirations, never giving up, being consistent, and having faith that everything will eventually turn out for the best are, in my opinion, the most important lessons to take away from this book. The two most important factors in success are determination and consistency. At all times, put your faith in the procedure.

Architectural Interiors
Tumblr media
The space you're standing in is both the foyer and the living room in my home. The inside of the house has an uninviting, almost industrial style. The space may be divided into three sections: the living area, the kitchen, and the dining area. Since it lacks any features necessary for the atmosphere for raising a family, it is unsuitable for that purpose. Aside from its obvious use as a living space, this room also benefits greatly from the abundance of natural light that floods in via the large windows that along its length. From what I can see, the area may need some improvements to make it feel more welcoming and inviting. There is nothing particularly unique about the design; instead, it has a generic, modern, work vibe.
Tumblr media
One of my customers lives in this area, therefore I have to make regular trips. I would say that this interior serves as a household area since it is planned out in the form of a functional apartment that might house one or two people. The room's several purposes are well separated despite its small size. All three rooms—the kitchen, the dining area, and the living room—share an open floor plan. This spot is not only more large, but it also has a character of its own. The previous indoor layout wasn't quite as industrial as this one. Its infrequent use adds to the feeling of isolation and captivity. From a purely atmospheric observation, this is the better of the two observations. The first home makes me feel like I'm on my way to work, while the second welcomes me home at the end of a busy day. Sometimes, the universe just laughs at you.

Poetic License
In the first lines of this poem, the reader learns that a big group of bookworms has assembled to witness a book burning. A comparison or analogy describing the latter stages of human development. Having seen both the lives and deaths of the books, the reader is only shown the reporter's happy look upon arriving to report on them. As long as there is life, there will be death. In all likelihood, he is discussing the historical pretense of parity. One of the ways he does this is by drawing some quite insightful parallels to other concepts. And it's doing it by using the irony of equality through awful but speculative occurrences. and he puts a circle around it all. He says he rubs her hands together in amusement over the ashes of her deceased books, and then says, "The milk had been poisoned, and forty-two newborns had to be buried." Based on the narrator's perspective, all sides are equally matched here. A dead book has an infinite amount of ash when you open it since the pages were burnt. Lipstick flies with the ash, proclaiming that every death is the same as every other death, every birth the same as every act of dismemberment, every rainforest destroyed the same as every global economic collapse, The ending of the novel is jarring and leaves the reader wanting more.

Plotting
Kaitlin finds the concept of keeping a dog as a companion animal to be quite appealing, and she frequently daydreams about the prospect of one day being able to provide a loving home for a four-legged companion of her own. The idea of keeping a dog as a companion animal is quite appealing to Kaitlin. She goes to the local animal shelter in the hopes of finding a companion there, with the idea that this animal would one day live with her in her home and fulfill that role for her. In other words, she goes to the animal shelter in the hopes of finding a friend. She is making her way down the corridor when all of a sudden she turns her head and notices a brown dog that has a white spot on the very tip of its nose. The puppy is so cute and adorable. At the very end of the corridor, right before the door that goes outside of the building, your canine companion will be waiting for you there. At the same time, she came to the realization that if he were her own child, she would do everything in her power to protect, nurture, and care for him in the same manner that she would do for her own child. She would treat him in the same as she would treat her own son or daughter. Even though she had to have the dog checked out by a vet before she could bring it back to her home to be with her while it recovers, she still brought Berkley the dog with her. Vaccinations were administered to him, and a professional expert examined his health in its whole before making any recommendations.

Public Art (Allure your senses)
Tumblr media
I frequently find myself taking short strolls through Fort Myers' downtown. Sometimes I go down there to practice dancing with my buddies or by myself. I frequently pass by these enormous iron sculptures as I walk around the city. This is the first statue you will see as you start your stroll down the downtown strip because I always park near the library. This particular sculpture is named Faena En La Plaza (unicycle Juggler), this artwork is one of several done by Edgardo Carmona. These sculptures and notably this one tower at 7 feet tall and above. They are exceptionally broad in size and built of entire spare iron pieces. This sculpture shows a juggler doing what jugglers do while waiting for action while perched atop a unicycle. The Scottish performer Boy Foy, who popularized the skill of unicycle juggling in the middle of the 1930s, served as the inspiration for this work. Street performers, including hip-hop dancers, jugglers, and acrobats who jump and spin to the sound of breaking, locking, and popping, may be seen at Plaza de la Trinidad in the gritty Gethasame sector. Cartagena is noted for its many plazas. Foy's performance included ball-and-mouth stick work, three top hats, quarter-inch-thick wood rings, 3 and 4 club routines, and various combo tricks. During the height of his 50-year career, he also did an act with cups and saucers. This sculpture, like many others, was inspired by street performers; in my opinion, this demonstrates the community's artistic side. Just so happens, this location frequently attracts a number of street performers. Around the corner from it, there is a talent bar with a guitarist, a vocalist, and a singer. I can clearly see the value that the community and the artist place on creative freedom. Giving every artist a platform, a voice, and making sure that voice is heard is something the community cherishes. I can see that the artist really believes in honoring the avant-garde artists and cultures that influence other art platforms in the neighborhood.
