In the small town of Charleston, an older, lonely man sits at the bar in a Diner. A young couple sat at the other end drinking coffee. The woman was dressed nice in a pretty red dress and the man looking dapper with his blue suit and hat. The older man is a regular at this diner. He arrives at the same time, sits on the same stool, and is always dressed nice as if he were about to meet someone. He never did though. The waiter knows the older man by name and says, "Hey Hopper, anything new today or just the same old, same old?" whenever he would walk in. Hopper would just shrug his shoulders as usual and sit on his stool. He looks at the couple at the end of the bar and nods, while waiting for the waiter to get him his usual drink, milkshake. The woman looks and smiles and then proceeds to watch all that is going on; not much at all.
As it got late the couple finished and left the diner. The woman smiled and said goodnight to Hopper as she left. Hopper didn't look at her but nodded his head up and down. As the couple walked by the large window the woman looked in again at Hopper with a disturbed and upset look on her face, but just kept walking away. As it got later and later the waiter told Hopper it was time to close up. Hopper again nodded; he reached in his pocket and pulled out a tissue, some change, and a paper clip filled with money. He paid the waiter and began to leave. The waiter said "Thanks Hopper, have a good night and I'll see you tomorrow." Instead of just facing the door and giving a wave Hopper turned around and said to the waiter "I don't know, I may not come tomorrow night." The waiter looked up from his register and said "Oh, alright, well the next ...

... The car was traveling through Charleston at a normal speed of 30miles per hour. The driver said "We were just driving down the road when a man started to run across the street and stopped right in front of our car. I hulled on the brakes but I still hit him." The woman looked up from the paper at the waiter and said, "Do you think he stopped in front of the car because of shock or do you think he did it purposely?" The waiter just stood there with his face in his hand shaking his head. The woman said, "Well what do you think?" The waiter looked at her and said, "I think you should just leave, I need to close up." The woman looked at him and said "Ok".
She stood up walked to the door, turned and looked back at the waiter and started to speak, but she stopped herself and she walked out the door.

At lunch the children are rowdy and need to be calmed down. The father says, "Maybe we could try a little quiet today." The girl replies, "You sound like your tombstone. Remember what you wanted it to say?" Her brother joins in by saying, "Today will be a quiet day. Because it never is around us." (Hempel 1204). Shortly after completing their meal, the girl asks about her dog. "Did anyone remember to feed him?" she asks (Hempel 1205). The boy again brings death into the picture by saying that he forgot to feed the dog and then proceeds to remind her about her previous dog. She was told the dog was taken to a sheep farm where, in reality, the dog was put to sleep. Naturally, the girl began to cry.
When the man first approached the dinner the waitress though he was like anybody else suffering from the great depression just trying to get things for free from people. At the beginning the man just walked to the dinner with a humble self being, asking to buy a loaf of bread. Immediately the waitress Mae being a stereotype and thinking he was trying to trick her said that the bread was for making sandwiches only. In response the man says that he needs the bread to feed his children because it’s a long road ahead of them to California. The waitress then tells him that if they sell bread their going run out to make sandwiches. The man then tells her that he’s hungry but needs to make a dime do all of his family. This gets Mae to change her reaction and change her mind because she’s starting to feel more and more sympathy fo...
The sun was really hot so the black man told him to give him his close so he did. Then the man tore some wood from the boat and made a shelter with the close. Phillip said wear are w wears my mom but the man said she’s not here but she’s probably in a different life boat. Phillip was really thirsty so the man opened a hatch in the boat and took some water out of a keg. He only gave Phillip a half a cup so Phillip asked for more. The man said they must spare as much water as possible.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, the depiction of family life in art began to change as modernism and capitalist culture was introduced to French society. Edgar Degas, a French Impressionist painter,

Vincent Van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-impressionist painter. Unpopular at his time but still his own worst critic, he suffered from painful anxiety and mental illness, and died at the age of 37. It wasn’t until 1886 when he moved to Paris that he got acquainted with impressionism, which is why he went through a quick adaptation of the style.
Edward Hopper exemplifies the zenith of 20th century American Realism. After training under Robert Henri at the New York School of Art, Hopper worked as a commercial illustrator for the first half of his life. In fact, although Hopper sold a variety of prints and watercolors on the side, he did not achieve his first artistic success until he was forty-three. At the Rehn Gallery in 1924, all of Hopper's works on display were purchased. From that point on, Hopper's use of light, isolation, and narrative in his works would define him. Hopper's impact was so dramatic that Alfred Hitchcock would later use his painting, The House by the Railroads, for inspiration on his classic film, Psycho ("Edward Hopper"). Nighthawks is Edward Hopper's most famous work. The title itself refers to the night-going characters that reside in the painting, sitting at the table of a diner. This painting is an American classic, appearing in the pop culture of its time and in examples that are more current. Just by doing a quick search on Google images, an abundance of parodies can be found, replacing the figures in the original with ones from Star Wars, The Simpsons, CSI, and more recently, The Walking Dead. There is no doubt that Hopper has affected the American art scene with this masterpiece, and there are numerous reasons it has become so prominent. Edward Hopper's distinguished painting, Nighthawks, is a representation of the pinnacle of the American realism, the attitude of Americans during the Second World War, and the expansion of New York City.

Salvador Dali was a modern master of art. He unleashed a tidal wave of surrealistic inspiration, affecting not only fellow painters, but also designers of jewelry, fashion, architecture, Walt Disney, directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, performers like Lady Gaga, and Madison Street advertisers. Filled with antics of the absurd, Dali fashioned a world for himself, a world which we are cordially invited to experience his eccentricity, his passions, and his eternal questioning nature. Dali’s surreal paintings transport us to fantastic realms of dream, food, sex, and religion. Born on May 11, 1904, Dali was encouraged by his mother to explore, to taste, to smell, to experience life with all of its sensuality. As a boy, Dali often visited the Spanish coastal town of Cadaqués with his family. It was here that he found inspiration from the landscape, the sea, the rock formations, the bustling harbor, with ships transporting barrels of olives and troves of exotic spices. Dali was impressed by the Catholic churches, and their altars with the portrayal of Christ and of the angels and saints gracefully flying overhead, yet frozen in time and marble. It was in Cadaqués that Dali declared “I have been made in these rocks. Here have I shaped my personality. I cannot separate myself from this sky, this sea and these rocks.” It was in

Dali has several museums around the world with his artworks displayed.

“As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed,” Vincent Van Gogh quoted. Albert Einstein, JK Rowling, Vincent Van Gogh, and I all have something in common. Apart from being passionate about a subject, we have all failed at some point. Yet, this does not stop us from trying again. JK Rowling was rejected fifteen times before her book was published. Each time Rowling failed she revised her work and published it again. Einstein also failed various times when he tried to come up with theories. Van Gogh only had one ear and people did not take notice of him because he was mentally ill and isolated. Van Gogh then became famous after he died at age thirty-seven.
“I dream of painting and then I paint my dream” said Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh was a famous Dutch post-impressionist painter whose thick brush strokes, color, emotion, and a way to escape from life was what he was best known for in his paintings. He was not a wealthy man because he was only able to sell one painting in his whole lifetime. Later in his adult life, he suffered from anxiety and had bursts of mental illness, which would cause him to be in and out of psychiatric wards and resulted in lengthy pauses in his ability to create beautiful paintings. The last two years of his life, he created the most amazing artwork in his career, even though he was interned. A great man whose mental illness got the best of him and eventually caused
