High School I Played School I Played Rousseau
1,956 wordsHenri Rousseau, the Dounier, as many people called him lived in a world of his own. It was a world filled with ghosts and goblins, eternal Sunday paintings, and simple worries.

Not many people remind me of myself, but Rousseau is the only person to have done this. We are different in some aspects of our talents, because his lies in the arts while mine lie in sports. Our pers...

I was a junior in high school when I met Cole, and he was dating my best friend at the time, Gretta. There were so many reasons why I didnt like him. He never took her to our prom, she went by herself.

Devil And Daniel Webster Stephen Vincent

Plot Humor Murder
291 wordsIn using the secondary or supporting actors for comic relief, Hitchcock colorfully rounds out the plot atmosphere and provides some added importance to them instead of using them as cardboard cutouts (as happens in most films). The humor gives the viewer a temporary break from concentration on the plot and other elements. But it also simultaneously enhances significant points of these elements from an alternate angle. That is, Hitchcock's humor will have the attentive viewer examine the film eve...

Art Simmons Novelty
439 wordsNovelty is defined and something that is new or unusual. Under this definition I think that both Laurie Simmons and Meyer Vaisman displayed much novelty in their work. They dipped into regions of art that no one had previously explored. From creating an entirely artificial universe to satirizing every type of person using stuffed turkeys as a means of doing this they both have created an original form of expression. While Simmons does not deal with reality, Vaisman chooses to openly recognize re...
