Maxwell Spencer Dupain was born on the 4th of April, 1911, in Sydney, to parents Ena and George. While receiving an education at Sydney Grammar School, Max had an interest in both poetry and rowing prior to developing an enthralment with photography at the age of thirteen.

His interest in photography expanded, thus leading Dupain to win the ‘Carter Memorial Prize for Productive Use of Spare Time’ two years later.

In 1934, after completing his internship with Cecil, Max started his own studio. He specialised in advertising, fashion, still life and portraits, whilst experimenting with human forms and Australian beach culture. It was at this time that he produced his most famous item, ‘The Sunbaker’, which would become Dupain’s signature piece. In 1939 Dupain married a fellow photographer and childhood friend, Olive Cotton. Their marriage would last only a year. Dupain’s skills in photography attributed to his joining of the ‘Sydney Camouflage Group’ in 1942, to contribute to the war effort. He was a camouflage designer and photographer serving in Darwin and New Guinea. Yet despite his obvious skill with a camera, Dupain was not an official war photographer. This did not prevent him from enlisting as a Royal Australian Air force as a researcher and a photographer as he reported on the camouflage effort being made by the Australian and US forces. In 1945, Dupain applied to the Department of Information to become an official war photographer in spite of the fact that the department had changed its focus to promoting Australia to

Ron Mueck has a particular unique set of skills from the commercial world that he can apply to his art. The amount of surface detail Ron uses in his work brings the audience closer and personal to their feelings of emotions. This is achieved by the detail that he displays with scarps or cuts, the vein’s on a hand which causes the spectator to be mesmerized by the art. When you stare at his art for a long period of time, you will then begin to understand the beauty accompanied with the elegance of his style. Playing with scale, sets the audience up for an experience of an emotional shock that will mentally disrupt our understanding. Making a life size scale of someone or something seems to boring for Ron. The technique Ron uses is interesting in the sense that he creates these mannequins that are extremely hyperrealistic that when you are in the presence of one of them, you may believe that they are alive. Even know they could stand anywhere from 1 to 8 feet high.
The setting in both Lord of the Flies and I Only Came to Use the Phone contributes to the dehumanization of the characters in each of the readings. The settings are both isolated, which is the cause of all the chaos that takes place because when you take a human being out of the comfort of society, they go back to their natural animalistic tendencies in order to survive. Survival of the fittest is present in these quotes. Also, the island archetype plays a huge role in both of the stories.

In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.

There can be many reasons, the extent of racism in the 1930’s seems to be a perfect fit. Especially, for when this book was published, which was in the early 1960’s; during the time of the civil rights movement. Harper Lee, seems to show that she is trying to prove that black people aren't all that bad. She shows this through many characters like Calpurnia, Tom Robinson, and Mr. Dolphus Raymond.
To begin with, photography appeared to me as something entertaining a simple step in which one took a camera and simply shot a photograph of oneself or a friend. When I was handed my schedule for Mrs. Jones’s class, I felt as if this class had in store a special reward for me. As the days went by, Instead of being anxious of getting out of class I had a craving for additional time in the class. The class kept my eyes glued to the screen ...
