In Joyce's "Araby", part of the “Dubliners” collection, a young and nameless narrator becomes enamored with his friend
As a child, I usually spent the mornings at the house. The house, where I grew up, was big, and it was surrounded with big trees. It had two massive columns on the both sides with a heavy wooden door between them. Above the front door was a big and spacious balcony with a decorative, metal enclosure around it. There were also two smaller balconies on the both sides of the house. The windows were big, too, and they were covered with snow-white lace curtains from the inside. The house looked a

In The Convalescent, the muted brown color of her robe blends directly into the brown background so much that it transforms the tone of the canvas to mainly brown and converts the space into an asymmetrical arrangement- the brown background becomes

The first work of art I chose was by Willie Birch, American born 1942, and the title of the work is called Sunday’s Child. Based on my analysis, the figure seems to be made of stone of some type, but not something too strong and heavy because there are no way the structure’s two legs will be able to hold the rest of the body standing up. Thus, the figure can stand alone without any other support. Specific material types in this case is difficult to tell without physically touching and feeling the

The story of “A Dark Brown Dog”, is one take on how some relationships can leave us with a dark place in our heart. The story begins with a child standing on a street corner in the summer. When a dark brown dog, with a rope tied around his neck approaches him. The author gives no great detail to the setting of this story. Which leads the reader to believe that one
rectangular borders around the artwork. Each border is of different size, color, and texture. As the painting is viewed from the outside a large rectangular border is shown. This border appears to be a page from the album. It is light gold and light brown in color, and it is outlined with a solid gold outline on both ends. On the inside, it is imprinted with rows of small gold plants, each one with a six petal flower, two leafs, and a shot stem. These rows of flowers are shown from a top side view which

I didn't know then that seeing such things as yellow P's and orange R's, or green B's, purple 5's, brown Mondays and turquoise Thursdays was unique to the one in two thousand persons like myself who were hosts to a quirky neurological phenomenon called synesthesia. Later in my life, I would read about neuroscientists at NIH and Yale University working

grandma's house only one word comes to my mind: fun. A red brick house on top of a small hill is where my memories reside. A slightly curved gravel road led to the front of the house. Eight or nine rose brown apple trees randomly covered the plush green lawn. Down the small hill, muddy brown water trickled down a ditch with cattails surrounding it. One enormous willow tree sat in the background, to the right of the house, to complete the picture. It almost seemed like a picture from a postcard
