Keith Haring's The Message
Keith Haring was an amazing artist. I am a big fan of artwork that stands out from others and has meanings. I loved how Haring used his artwork to speak to the public and radically depict the political system. The title of the documentary, “The Message,” describes Keith Haring perfectly.
To start with, Keith Haring utilizes bright colors in a few of his works. In one specific piece called “Monkey Puzzle,” he puts complementary colors together and fits the shapes like a puzzle. I like how none of the colors are drowning each other out. Everything just harmonizes beautifully, and in each combination of bright colors, one intensifies the other. I believe that Haring’s purpose for using bright colors in his art was to make the viewer interested

    Chaim Potok’s book The Chosen takes place in the 1940s and is the story of two boys trying to become and stay friends even though they are from two different Jewish sects. It is not that To Kill a Mockingbird is an awful or terrible book. While reading To Kill a Mockingbird, readers will enjoy a well-written book, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and a classic. Yet, high school students will relate more to the two main characters of The Chosen as they are 15 and in high school at the beginning of the story. The Chosen stands apart from To Kill a Mockingbird by reason of Potok’s writing style, the developed characters, and the story line.…

    The story told in Slaughterhouse Five is very much unique to its setting and the time in which it occurs. The story is told by Kurt Vonnegut, who is also a minor character in the book, about the life experiences of Billy Pilgrim during World War II. The story centers on a specific event that occurs during the war, the Allied firebombing of Dresden, Germany. This specific bombing has gone virtually unnoticed by Americans throughout history since the war due to its location, being in Germany. However, certainly the scrutiny would be much greater if such a horrendous bombing was inflicted upon Britain, America, or another Allied power. In addition, the story itself would not have been told if it were not for Vonnegut’s own unique situation…

    Based on a Patricia Highsmith novel The Strangers on a Train (1951) revolves around the inexplicable and unnatural link between Bruno Antony (Robert Walker) and Guy Haines (Farley Granger) which is established from the very first shot. Hitchcock draws parallel between the two. The opening shots introduce us to two pairs of men’s feet as their owners arrive at the station, the shoes characterise the two-one showy, vulgar, brown-and-white brogues and the other plain, unadorned walking shoes. Visual parallel is established through editing, otherwise it would have been a mere contrast. It is Guy’s foot that accidently knocks Bruno and it is not Bruno who has engineered the meeting. But he knows all about Guy and his private life & already has a plan rather contrived ready at hand for swaping…

    There comes a time in life where people honestly change. Whether or not it’s for better or for worse is up to you. Throughout the short story “The Lie” written by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Dr. Remenzel had changed the most compared to the other individuals such as Eli and Sylvia. There is much about him that gave the audience different impressions. From start to finish since after all where he is in life and what he thinks is right at the time changes him. First off Dr. Remenzel was near emotionless and was very absorbed in his work. “He was studying blueprints… “What’s the matter Eli?”... He asked Eli without looking up from the plans”. This goes to show that he was too busy dealing with work to show that he cared for Eli. Later on in the school…
