    It cuts diagonally from the nape of the neck, across the spine and over to the inner edge of the left shoulder blade. It is interrupted by a section of unharmed skin, pocketing up over the scar, as if it is a bridge. We, the viewer, can infer that this is from the object that caused the wound entering under the skin briefly and then protruding out again. The skin stretches from the regular, unaffected area to the middle, deepest area where it meets to form a ridge. This ridge, the midpoint of the scar, a thin straight line, creates a midpoint in the greater image that the viewers eye keeps returning to. The way the skin is pulled and distorted is beautiful, it evokes the feeling of movement in something that is still and unchanging. The complex visual impression reminds me of a natural land formation, something rooted in nature. However, when you recall that this is a scar permanently on a person’s body, an unusual formation made of skin, the scar becomes grotesque again. This tightrope between beauty and disgust is mirrored in the context under which this scar exists. It is beautiful in that it is a symbol of survival and resilience from a bad experience for the owner of the scar. It is also grotesque, when the infinite possibilities of how it was acquired are pondered, because Miyako provides such a vague description in the works…

    There are creases under the eye that act as wrinkles and thin lines around the mouth differentiating the hair thickness from that of the bolder beard that is all around the face. From the top of the head to the middle of the cheeks, it is very rounded. The lower half of this piece becomes more triangular, as if it were to be connected to some support for display in a setting such as a temple. Color wise, it has an earthy green tone with specs of gold…

    That night, I once again woke up from my fitful sleep and decided to walk it off, but when I came downstairs, feeling the touch of the wooden handrail, and the pair of survivors on watch didn't wave back to me, or even blink. I exited the house, and the wind whistled as the world froze, and — suddenly there was a glimpse of someone darting through the streets. They were a cat - they moved lithely and disappeared from sight for a few seconds, then reappeared…

    “Deviation from nature is deviation from happiness” (Samuel Johnson). According to nature, what happens to man is 'natural', whereas society restricts man of his innate being. Man is born pure and through society he becomes corrupt. In this short passage from Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain’s use of syntax and sensory imagery highlights how life on the shore reflects the faults of society and human nature, whereas life on the river reflects the beauty of inner mortality and nature itself.…

    1. In the novel, the Mississippi River acts as the center of the novel, it plays an important symbolic figure. To the main characters, Jim and Huck, the river is their place for freedom and adventure. Both of these characters were stuck in a society that they did not want to be a part of (Huck, tired of ‘sivilized’ folks; Jim, of being a slave). Jim views the river as freedom and poverty from his former slavery and Huck finds the river to be somewhere he can be himself. By making an escape to the calm and peaceful river, Huck and Jim express their aversion towards society.…

    Tone: The tone of Huckleberry Finn is innocent to me. Huckleberry is a young boy that is just now being educated against his personal preference and he doesn’t fully understand the concepts of religion, education and life itself. “Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got all mad then, but I didn’t mean no harm.”…

    In Mark Twain’s passage, “Two Ways of Seeing a River,” the reader is forced to question within themselves about how much beauty they look past in the world. Twain describes in great detail an experience he had on a river in a very literal way. Twain begins his passage by describing how, after being on the river, he had forgotten all of the things he felt, saw, and experienced the first time out on a steamboat in the river. After being out on the river so many times it just became routine and he states that, "All the grace, the beauty, the poetry had gone out of the majestic river!" Through the first paragraph you begin to get an idea of how it feels to be on the river that first time. He continues to explain his experience but begins to question…

    Mark Twain’s novel Huckleberry Finn is an American classic that provides a commentary on slavery. Although Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn years after the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the Civil War he set the story much earlier when slavery was still a way of life in the United States. Slavery was still a complicated issue and Mark Twain’s approach to slavery in his novel reflects this. In the novel Huck struggles with his feelings toward slavery and Jim and what he believes is the right thing to do with a runaway slave.…

    Mark Twain's Flaws

    “All modern American Literature comes from Huckleberry Finn.” ~Ernest Hemingway. Mark Twain is quite possibly the father of the American novel. The books he wrote were and still are popular among the rich and the poor alike. He introduced the ‘epic adventure’ style, (like the Iliad and the Odyssey) into American literature. Throughout his long and eventful life, Twain saw many flaws in his society and reflected upon them in his writing. His most popular and criticized novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, emulates these flaws. In the novel Twain criticizes the mind-set of the Gilded Age, shows the lack of compassion in the white society versus that shown in black society and ridicules human greediness.…

    Through its contrasting river and shore scenes, Twain’s Huckleberry Finn suggests that to find the true expression of American democratic ideals, one must leave “civilized” society and go back to nature. Twain expresses his opinions to the public through the innocent and naïve eyes of a fourteen year old boy. He not only uses Huckleberry to convey his thoughts but also uses the Mississippi River as the grand symbolic representation of nature and freedom.…
