Locked-In Syndrome Imagine a world in which human communication is executed through the simplicity of thought. No muscle action- no nodding, smiling, slapping, pointing, speaking, or feeling...just through the immobile and inconspicuous medium of thought. This is an example of a locked-in patient.

Two of the novels I have chosen to write about is ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho and ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’ by Jean-Dominique Bauby. The reason I have chosen these books is because they are my top two favorites out of the four novels we have read and they are the most intriguing to me. What makes The Alchemist stand out is because it has a very inspirational lesson or moral in the end. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly however, triggers the more emotional side and yet again is very
The portrait. A single person immortalized forever on canvas. At first glance, you only see the subject. With a more analytical eye, though, you not only see the image but you begin to hear the voice of the painter and of his time. This is what I hope to do, to feel and understand the mind of the painter Ingres when he painted Louis-Francois Bertin and Reynolds when he painted General John Burgoyne.

Have you ever wondered how certain people become so famous? Do you know their culture or where they come from? Perhaps, you had never even thought about it for a moment, but everyone that is famous and not famous all have certain life events that lead them to where they are now. Just like Leonardo Dicaprio and everyone else, Sarah Bernhardt, the most famous French actress had many life events as a child through growing up that led her to become an actress. Without the events that happened during
careers in art, because of the enormous social pressure for women to become homemakers. The very fact that women in general were not given enough opportunities is demonstrated by what Marie Bracquemond, a student of the famous artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, said in 1860, “The severity of Monsieur Ingres frightened me… because he doubted the courage and perseverance of a woman in the field of painting… He would assign to them only the painting of flowers, of fruits, of still life’s, portraits
Ranim Altamimi La Grande Odalisque ART 04 April 2014 Art Critique Description Lalla Essaydi creates a work of art that deals with the role of women in Islamic societies. Her, La Grande Odalisque, depicts a mysterious nude woman draped in a white sheet on a bed in what looks to be a white bedroom, her being the dominant figure of the composition.
