One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
For my senior project I am making a biography photo album of the faculty, administration, and staff members at the Austin Area High School. I decided to my project on this simply because I thought it would something interesting to do and have fun with. It is an easy way to learn a few interesting things about the people at my school. A lot of people this year are building things to benefit the community or our school, so I decided to something a little different. I came up with this idea when I realized there wasn’t really anything in our school with information on our faculty members, administration and staff members. They know a lot about us, so I figured it would be nice to put something together about them.
To complete my senior project I needed to use the following materials: a photo album, which I bought, camera, film, information about each individual, and a lot of paper. In order for me to get the information I needed to do my project, I had to go to the office for some of it, the other I had a questionnaire I made up and sent that around to the members of the school, and last I needed to go around and ask them questions personally on my free time.
My photo album consists of a picture of each individual, a pretty designed nametag, and then the few paragraphs or so about them. Each individual will be separated and neatly arranged on to his or her own page in the photo album alphabetically. The paragraphs I am including in the album will contain information as how many years they have worked at Austin Area High School, their job they are involved with at the school, some information about their family, and also some of the information from the questionnaire I passed out. I went to the office for the years they worked here and the addresses they reside at. The questionnaire I passed out was mainly to get their input for the paragraphs I am writing about them. Some of the questions I asked were: If the job they have now the same as it was in high school, Would they recommend their job as a career to student, What do they like the most about their job, etc.
Dostoevsky first presents Smerdyakov, in The Brothers Karamazov, in Book 3 of Part 1. The author divulges details of the conception of the fourth son of Fyodor Pavovich Karamazov. Late on a September evening, a drunk Fyodor, by modern standards, "rapes" a homeless woman. Stinking Lizaveta, the victim of Fyodor's violence, was a legend in the town. Regardless of her unattractive and dirty appearance, her poverty, and homelessness, the townspeople regarded her with sympathy and compassion. Fyodor, on the other hand, treated Lizaveta as an insubordinate who was undeserving of even an ounce of respect. He and his friends mock her. He, then, rapes her. And, as if these actions are not cruel and offensive enough, he vehemently denies any of it happening. Later, when Lizaveta gives birth to Fyodor's illegitimate son, it is Grigory and Marfa who take the boy in, baptize him, and decide to raise the child. The townspeople mistakenly credit Fyodor for taking the dead woman's child into his house. All of these disturbing actions on the part of Fyodor are cause for his punishment.

The book I chose to do my book report on is "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich". The book is about the most forceful indictments of political oppression in the Stalin era Soviet Union. It is a captiving story about the life in a Siberian labor camp, related to the point of view of Ivan Denisovich, a prisoner. It takes place in a span of one day, "from dawn till dusk" (pg. 111) . This book also describes his struggles and emotional stress that he must going through.
There are many definitions of the term "freedom." Some will say that to be free one must be allowed to do as one pleases in terms of one's physical body, while others will say that one must only be able to think to be truly free. Yet another group will argue that both aspects must be present for true freedom to exist.
John in this chapter has an obsession with Lenina. He breaks into the rest house after he finds the door locked. He was terrified that Bernard and Lenina were gone. Once he realized that Lenina was there when he saw her initial on her green suit case joy “flared up like fire within him.” I thought this was pretty strange considering he has not know her for that long. He smelled her perfume, put scarf with the perfume around his neck, wiped her powder on his chest, shoulders, and bare arms whispering Lenina time. That is obsession and in my opinion is creepy! Those action might be acceptable if maybe they were dating but to me this is still very extreme. After fantasizing about her he finds her asleep stares at her and even thinks about unzipping
My poster contains images that I used to give a very brief imagery of Dr. Paul Farmer’s life. In the center I put a large photo of him so someone could see his full facial appearance. I put the logos for Duke University and Harvard University to show where he went for his schooling. I put Duke’ logo on blue construction paper to represent the school’s blue colors, and I put Harvard’s logo on red construction paper for the same reason. I put a quote on the bottom-right of the poster, because I feel this quote represents a general mentality of Dr. Paul Farmer. I put two pictures of Farmer treating Haitian patients, because the majority of his life’s work is treating poor people in Haiti. I put the picture of Haitian hands holding a cross to represent the religious belief of Haitians. Many of Farmer’s patients had trouble
Warning to the West is a criticism of both the west and his own nation. Solzhenitsyn expresses his deep pain and frustration toward the nations of the world for ignoring the atrocities and even aiding the Soviet Communist Government in which he hails from. Solzhenitsyn expresses his slanted view of a perfect Détente and what he feels should be a true Marxist state by showing some of the atrocities claimed by the Soviet regime. He expresses to the United States that nations can no longer stand by and let communism take over the world.
Fear is only one of the emotions that drive people. Society and even religion uses fear in the form of consequences to persuade people to control their EGO. The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy allows the readers to learn the consequences of living a completely selfish, non-Christian life without actually having to make Ivan’s mistakes. At face value, The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy is not a Christian novel. There is no mention of spirituality until the final chapter of the book, ****** there are only vague references to life after death with no mention of Christianity. However, fiction is about telling a story; it is about leaving the reader changed by the end of the book. In this regard, Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a masterpiece and should be celebrated by Christians as a work of art.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky was a Russian novelist during the 19th century. Dostoyevsky's literary work explored the human mind which is now coined as psychology. Psychology is a very broad school that focuses on the human consciousness. This can include your emotions, and your emotions are effected by everything; by your mood, personality, other individuals, and your environment. The psychology of himself, the psychology of the protagonist, as well as the psychology of the readers are explored in Notes from Underground. Notes from Underground is broken up into two sections: the first section introduces the underground man. Explaining his current state of mind and his antagonist stance on society. The second section previously occurs from the first section, and this section serves to show the audience how the underground man progressed from the perspective of Romanticism, with the idea of "the beautiful and the lofty" to his more rational egoist stance. This paper will explore both why and how the underground man progressed from having a 'love for the world' view to such a cynical perspective while at the same time trying to clarify the contradictory the underground man presents. The underground man overanalyzes everything; including himself. Dostoyevsky does well at showing that the audience can sympathize with the underground man but at the same time being able to distinguish themselves from the underground man.
The story of In "The Death of Ivan Ilych", was written by Leo Tolstoy around who examines the life of a man, Ivan Ilyich, who would seem to have lived an exemplary life with moderate wealth, high station, and family. By story's end, however, Ivan's life will be shown to be devoid of passion -- a life of duties, responsibilities, respect, work, and cold objectivity to everything and everyone around Ivan. It is not until Ivan is on his death bed in his final moments that he realizes that materialism had brought to his life only envy, possessiveness, and non-generosity and that the personal relationships we forge are more important than who we are or what we own.

In this assignment, my thought process was to create a collection of two albums containing my favorite photos. The first album has my favorite photos of my high school lacrosse career, and the second album contains my favorite memories regarding sports fandom. The recurring themes I wanted to include were brotherhood, the role of symbols/objects, and the community that sports evolves around. I wanted to showcase different parts of the “13 Ways of Looking at Sports” poem, and how those ideologies play in my role as an athlete and spectator. I chose to include a majority of the photos that were not in game setting because I wanted to portray that sports and photography are a terrific platform to exemplify that lacrosse and fandom are much more profound than
This assignment is based on Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Through a creative approach, I will be demonstrating some of the aspects of Solzhenistsyn’s text. I will be inserting a scene in which Shukhov, the protagonist, is sitting outside, adjusting his boots. This text is full of a plethora of literary techniques and symbols but the aim of my piece is to specifically demonstrate the stylistic feature of time, two of the three narrative styles and certain symbols via the above scenario.
