Visiting Eleganza Body Structure Sculpture
490 words
Before going to Eleganza, the only sculpture that
I had ever seen, besides the small statues in
neighbors' yards, was in books that I had looked
at. When I entered the museum I noticed the many
sculptures that occupied the small space. After
walking around, observing the different sculptures
and listening to Dr. Roselle speak, I came to a
decision that David was my favorite statue in the
museum. The complexity, texture, and realistic
characteristics of Michelangelo's David made this
a beautiful ...

For the Tapping into Your Creativity assignment I
chose to go to the Minnesota Science Museum in St.
Paul. At the museum I saw the Omni Theatre
presentation of Dolphins. The Omnitheatre
presentation of Dolphins was probably one of the
most incredible movies I have ever seen. It was
not only incredible due to the content of the
movie. It was also incredible because of the way
that it was presented. When I first went into the

Time Traveler Time Machine
1,130 words
The Time Machine Let me start off this essay by
saying that I believe H. G. (Herbert George) Wells
is one of the most intelligent writers of his
time: a true futurist. Obviously, I read The Time
Machine by H. G. Wells and I would like to say
that it was extremely well written and sounds as
though it was written fairly recently. It may just
sound this way because the human race has not
really tried Time Traveling. The theme of The Time
Traveler is, as I see it: Think about what you are
doing befo...

should really invest in more elevators and
stairways. There were so many people getting on
and off the elevators and getting in each other? s
way that I thought I would not have enough time to
see all the exhibits. But once on the tour, I was
completely focused on the many different exhibits.

Ignominious Actions Upon the beginning of Mary Jo

the detail of imagery reveals a different sort of
poem. The theme of the poem is a gloomy look at
how humans destroy each other. The careful imagery
of the lingering effects of war, the devastation
of human life and the shadowy unknowns of the
future through images of shock, guilt and numbness

Salvador Dali Surrealist Movement

I do not take drugs I am drugs. This statement was
made by the great Spanish painter and member of
the surrealist movement Salvador Dali. Dali
referred to his works as hand-painted dream
photographs, and claimed that his imagery often
came directly from his own dreams. Although there
is no documented evidence that he did experiment
with hallucinogenic drugs, his paintings reflect a
sort of false reality, showing commonplace objects
in strange forms. Salvador Dali was born on May
11, 1904, in Fig...
