“At the University of California at Irvine, experiments in rats indicate that the brain’s hormonal reaction to fear can be inhibited, softening the formation of memories and the emotions they evoke” (Baard). Sometimes I have trouble sleeping. I lie in bed for hours while my mind churns through endless streams of fragmented thoughts and memories, bits of brain matter that I do not have time for in my waking life. I have tried the homeopathic remedies. I drink “calming” teas, take showers, and inhale

Drawings are usually two dimensional but employing this technique gives the specified art a three-dimensional feeling. Linear perspective helps the drawing gain a more realistic feeling. Aside from depth, linear perspective gives the drawing texture, gradient and relative size. This mode of art was invented by Filippo Brunelleschi, an
Perspectives of the Characters in The Young Housewife From the first stanza we decipher that there is a young housewife moving about her husbands house in negligee. Some important questions that come to my mind are: Is she alone?, and why is she moving? The answer to both of these questions we do not know.
