Writing as Art in The Painted Bird
Three Works Cited The use of art has many functions. It lacks a satisfactory definition and is easier to describe it as a way something is done --“the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others” --rather than what it is. Jerzy Kosinski’s The Painted Bird describes the disasters that befall a six-year-old boy who is separated from his parents and wanders through the primitive Polish-Soviet borderlands during the war. Kosinski fails to mention the boy’s name and the names of the towns the boy travels over throughout the text. This enables the reader to assume that this child could have possibly been any unfortunate youngster during the war. Kosinski’s writings organize the chaos of the boy’s life experiences through form. The use of both organic and conventional form throughout the book draws the reader closer to the horrific encounters the young boy faced on a daily basis.
Using writing as a method of art organizes the chaos of experience through form. Kosinski’s novel applies organic form to portray the appalling predicaments the boy encountered during the separation from his family. The use of organic form in the formal pattern offers the reader the “what-will-be-next” scenario before they proceed through the pages. Kosinski gives the reader a taste of the animalistic characteristics of the towns’ people the boy confronts during the war. This allows the reader not to be “shocked” when the peasants the boy faces demonstrated an extraordinary predilection for incest, sodomy, and meaningless violence.
While reading “The Painted Bird”, the reader gains the impression that religion seemed to be a high priority for the village people. However, Kosinski’s use of conventional form to inform his readers that church was a very important part of the
culture in these villages seemed to contradict this portrayal. In the culminating incident of the book, the boy drops a missal while he’s helping service Mass and is flung by the angry parishioners into a pot of manure . Emerging from the pit he realizes that he has lost the power of speech. Church goes watched as the young boy was tossed into the manure and no one tried to assist him. A group of bullies pushes the boy, a presumed spy or Jew, below the ice of a frozen pond.
Finally we learned a lot, there are differences and similarities of the two authors, but we must remember that everyone has the opportunity to escape from the cave of shadows and see the real world and smell the freedom. Never be afraid of nothing, the way to freedom lies through the diligence and the labor.
In three dynamic pieces of literature, the desperate yet hopeful characters gallantly endure the struggles of achieving their dreams as they experience the pain of desolation and the life-fulfilling happiness of a friendly companion. Through hostile resentment, the intense repulsion created by generations of territorial disputes tears apart two vengeful foes, Ulrich and Georg, in Saki’s captivating tale. Whereas in Remarque’s gory war novel, the pure terror of battle brutally slaughters the once innocent minds of soldiers as they undergo changes in their heart and soul within themselves. Although impervious to the influence of the reclusive residents tied to the ranch, as they quest for their shared aspirations, George and Lennie forge an invincible friendship in Steinbeck’s calamitous novelette.
By reading a certain print texts, readers are manipulated into accepting or rejecting additional texts. The short story “The Altar of the Family” written by Michael Welding shares many comparisons with the feature article “Boys to Men” written by Stephen Scourfield, and by reading one the reader can make clear understanding of the other. Symbolism, genre and certain values and attitudes are present in both the texts and will be further examined in the following essay to show that a readers understanding of particular print texts is shaped by the reading of previous texts.
The novel: A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (written by Alexander Solzhenitzyn), tells the story of a Russian soldier’s life in a Siberian labor camp around the time of World War II. The protagonist in the story, Ivan, better known as “Shukhov”, is wrongly accused of committing treason and is sentenced to full 10 years of imprisonment in the camp. Throughout the story, the author makes vivid references to help the reader identify with the setting, climate, and overall feeling of what Ivan must deal with on a day-to-day basis. This helps the reader to better understand the points and the reality of what it was like living in one of these camps.
“The fall in Killadelphia. Outside is the color of corn bread and blood” (Asante pg3).Corn bread the color of yellow and blood the color of red. These two colors are what your typical green leaves turn once they have lost their chloroplast. The purpose of this essay is to examine BUCK a MEMOIR by MK Asante and his use of Allegories to help give the reader a visual on what it like to be a young Buck. While reading this book there are many things that are typically seen to be “good” that is often colored with a paintbrush and dipped in pain. The author Asante does his best to tell his memoir in away to reach out to the younger generation. Asante talks about remaining
His adept style of writing washes skillfully through the book as the adventures of Norman Felskin, Betsy Poldosky and Julio Velasquez progresses. Albeit, while the book does not have the expected flow, like other books of fiction, his words do flow with ease and paint vivid images that stimulate the reader's curiosity as well as the
In conclusion, the book Pawels Briefe utilises photography to create an image of a family torn apart by the Holocaust, offering us a glimpse into their personalities and the opinions of the narrator. Photographs are used to reflect the wider social issues of the time and to raise important questions about coping with the past. The images in the book create a dialogue between the narrator and her deceased relatives, and connect the reader to the narrator’s experiences and memories.
Government corruption is emphasized through the violence, strict class structures, and strong propaganda in 1984 and Animal Farm. These two books are extremely similar in the way Orwell uses them satirically about the Russian Revolution.
It would be accurate to say that Sigmund Freud in The Future of an Illusion and Jerzy Kosinski in The Painted Bird both take very pessimistic views when it comes to human nature and by association the state of nature. Given their combined sound arguments and experiences it is hard to see how one could find Marx’s ideas in the Communist Manifesto a plausible plan to create a sound and just society. On the other hand is the relatively optimistic John Mill. In his work On Liberty, Mill emphasizes the importance of personal liberty, individualism, and rationality in keeping society fair and just to all people. Combating illusions that would cause people to force their opinions onto others and restrict their rights. Similar to Freud's argument on illusions, and compatible with Kosinski’s ideas of human nature inside of society. Mill’s ideas strike the final nail in Marx’s coffin. Proving that violent rebellion against a ruling minority and forcefully suppressing
According to Haar R (2011) the motivation study Virtual Reality in application of military is to know and how the sophistication simulation virtual reality that used in military field. Besides that, the application technology Simulator use in Army, Navy and Air Force to learn how the training and knowledge from the virtual reality is related with environment and can use in combat. Training is one area how Virtual Reality technologies are discover wider applicability in the military. This is the reasons that have driven the military to investigate Virtual Reality in their training. It is because to help the military training reduce exposure to danger and increase stealth ( Herrero and de Antonio 2005).
Virtual reality technology has been used over time for training programs and even scientific presentations. Doctors even use it for surgical training and for anatomy training programs. For instance the medical field have the Da Vinci Surgical Rob which is a surgical training that comes in virtual reality. Architects have use for virtual reality when designing building models.
The Renaissance reached its fulfilment in the sixteenth century. English, long neglected by the humanists' preoccupation with Greek and Latin, rose to a wholly new and conscious dignity as a medium of serious literary expression. That English should rise and attain the status of national language is not surprising in view of the fact that the spread of literacy and the introduction of printing, along with the increasingly strong nationalist feeling, did account for its consolidation.1
Virtual reality (VR) entails the utilization of advanced technologies, as well as computers and numerous transmission peripherals, to provide a simulated (i.e., virtual) atmosphere that users understand as cherish universe objects and events. With the help of specially designed transducers and sensors, users act with displayed pictures, moving and manipulating virtual objects, and acting different actions in an exceedingly manner that engenders a sense of actual presence (immersion) within the simulated atmosphere. this is often accomplished by having the simulation suits movements of the user’s body, so the sensory cues invariably correspond to what users would expect were they acting the action within the universe. for instance, the software package ensures that the visual scene is often applicable to the actual direction during which the user happens to be wanting. Visual feedback is usually supplemented by auditive cues that seem to stay specially locations freelance of changes in head position and also the presentation of befittingly regular somatosense, interoception and proprioception data.The distinctive options and suppleness of VR provides it extraordinary potential to be used in work-related applications. It permits users to expertise and act with a life-like model or atmosphere, in safety and at convenient times, whereas providing a degree of management over the simulation that's sometimes insufferable within the real-life scenario. The work-related applications that seem to be most promising area unit people who use computer game for visualisation and illustration, distance communication and education, active coaching, and orientation and navigation.
Virtual Reality also lends a hand to patients in order to recover from injuries such as a stroke. Doctors are utilising Virtual Reality to assists muscle movement to get back to normality, for instance, “walking and grabbing as well as smaller physical movements such as pointing”. The doctors use the malleable automated situation to enhance or reduce the movement which is required to hold or shift an item. This also assists in recording accurately, the speed of how fast a patient is learning and getting better.
