An Analysis Of Chekhov's A Work Of Art

1. Clearly, music plays a life-giving function in the story, whereby Nil blesses others with his musical talent. Consider an example where you, like Nil, have used a talent to bring life (enrichment) to others, or else make a connection to the text by referring to a time when another gifted you with a creative or life-giving act.

I was gifted with a creative act through watching professional ballet; and I also brought enrichment to others through dancing ballet. Similaryly to singing, dance expresses such beauty; watching their strong (and at the same time, soft and delicate) movements brought life to me. The way dancers on a stage can express so clearly and beautifully their feelings through dance. I believe that others could see my motivation

I 'd rather see clearly and uncensored, and observe the entire piece of art (even the parts considered 'wrong ' or 'strange '), rather than observe blurred, unoriginal pieces of art. I consider having permission (in this case, by an artist), to look at their unique, irreplicable point of view, through their material works of art an honor. Chekhov 's view in “A Work of Art” is that everyone has different views and opinions on censorship; and this depends on personalities, religions, and many other things. For example, the candlebra that Sasha presented as a gift to Dr. Koshelkov in “A Work of Art” is seen in two completely different ways, by two different people. The candlebra is seen as delicate and beautiful by Sasha, (“There is so much beauty and elegance that it fills one 's soul with a feeling of reverence and brings a lump into one 's throat!”) but in Dr. Koshelkov 's eyes, it 's seen as an embarrassing object to have displayed in his office. “Good Art” is formed by the unique and honest view into the artist 's soul; there 's no such thing as “Bad Art,” as long as the piece the artist is creating comes from within themselves, and by extension, their soul. How can artists fully express themselves if their art is being censored, because it 's seen as wrong or embarrassing in a different person 's

Consider such things as political correctness, or culture being somewhat sinister, or culture creating a cohesion/identity, or anything you feel strongly about as you make a personal connection with this force in our lives. This writing experience will give me some insight into how you organize your writing for an essay topic. Be sure to highlight your thesis statement.

Advice – If you do not have a worked out approach of your own for writing an expository essay, consider a simple pattern as follows:

Frame the essay by opening with a quote, observation or insight (offer the context)

Introduce or assert your thesis statement (what you have set out to prove)

Offer how you might argue the point (introduce 2-3 supporting insights you’d use)
