...Sunday in the Park – analysis ”Sunday in the Park” is a short story revolving around an incident in a park, where two men almost get in a fight. One of the men is called Morton, and he is described as being very pale with glasses and a very pinched, lean face. He is the father of a three-year-old boy, so we can assume that he is comparatively young, although his behaviour seems more likely to belong to an older man. He is a professor at a university in the city, and the narrator in the story, who he is married to, seems to see a connection between his paleness and his job (p. 97 l. 11-12). According to her, he is extremely cooped up in the very factory-like, grey university. He seems to like The Times Magazine, which we can quickly associate with him being a professor. If we read a little between the lines, and observe the way he talks, some of his personal characteristics is that he is unobtrusive, reserved and much more verbal than physical. One sentence in the story almost sums up his entire personality; “He put his Times down carefully on his lap and turned his fine, lean face toward the man, smiling the shy, apologetic smile he might have offered a student in pointing out an error in his thinking. When he spoke to the man, it was with his usual reasonableness” (p. 98 l. 13-17). All of these words describe a person very opposite of the other man in the story, namely “the big man”. He has no name, and we only have the description of him given by the mother, so it can...

...it again"[3] The fur is something very dear to her, as she rubs the fur, seeming to put life into the eyes. It follows her on a regular Sunday afternoon in the park, which she spends walking and sitting in the park. She sees the world as a play, if it were a stage, and enjoys watching the people around her, often judging them condescendingly and eavesdropping on the strangers. The reader learns that Miss Brill's life must be unfilled and this is how she develops her pride.[4] When she arrives at the park, she notices that there are more people than last Sunday, and the band is especially louder because the Season had commenced. Sitting next to her on the bench was an elderly couple. Their lack of conversation disappointed Miss Brill because she enjoys, "sitting in other people's lives just for a minute while they talked round her.[5] Watching others in the park, she notices that most of the people that sit on the benches are the same; the people are elderly, silent, idle, and appear as though they have come from a small dark place. A woman drops her violet roses, only to be picked up and returned by a young boy. The woman proceeds to dispose of them, and Miss Brill does not know if that is to be well-regarded. After the elderly couple left the bench, Miss Brill seemed to believe that even she took part in the play as she attended every Sunday. Beginning to daydream about how she reads to an elderly man four times a week, she plays a scenario in her mind with the man. She visions...

...Holidays! I am writing to tell you about an awesome event we do here at our school. Soul Food Sunday is a bi-weekly event held on the first and third Sunday of each month from NOON- 4pm at Emerson Park Development Corporation (EPDC) here in East St. Louis. Our resident chef Kim McAfee, who also owns Heaven Sent Catering, cooks the amazing food. Soul Food Sunday is a dual ended event, EPDC & Heaven Sent Catering provides a place for people to come congregate after service and meet new people for an affordable price ($10) and in return EDPC takes those funds to help our students in need. Here at EPDC we help youth between the ages of 17-24 get a high school diploma, learn a trade, get a small stipend AND earn money for college. However because most of these underrepresented youth come to us with needs such as homelessness, hunger and single parenthood we have to use funds to assist with those issues. With your support EPDC can help deserving youth and make a difference. Attached is a flyer of all the programs we offer and $2 coupon for your first visit to Soul Food Sunday. If your organization is available to volunteer at any time, make a donation or if you need to contact us, please email and/or call us at the number below. We hope you decide to come and join us! Kindly Yours, D. Rene Crisp, Program Manager Vickie Kimmel Forby, CEO Emerson Park 1798 Summit East St. Louis, IL 62205 618.874.1671...

...Colombia called ciclovías and in these events, approximately 2 million people ride their bikes over 130 km of car-free streets. These ciclovías have been going on for over 10 years, and their success has incorporated other activities in the surrounding areas such as yoga lessons, aerobics and other types of entertainment (nytimes.com, 2008). Similar events have been held in Canada and have showed great success. These events were located in Winnipeg, Ottawa, Hamilton, Halifax and Vancouver. Ottawa has been holding their Sunday BikeDay Program since 1970. Their program closes 50 kilometers of roads every Sunday morning in the summer and has proven to be very successful. We would like to hold an event in Toronto similar to Bogotá's ciclovía or Ottawa's Sunday BikeDay Program. We would start with a small 5 kilometre ride from Ireland park to Dundas Square on a Sunday morning during the summer months. Riders can repeat the course as many times as they please. In Ireland park, there will be volunteers giving out maps,...

...Sunday in the Park The text ”Sunday in the Park” mainly deals with the concerns of marriage, the individual roles of the partners in the relationship, and how you can be together for a long time, without noticing that some of the vital values are missing, from the person you love. I believe the characters in this text are victims of this very thing, where the mother realizes that her husband can't defend her in the way that she wants him to. She probably married him to feel safe and secure in a way, possibly financially since you have no knowledge of her actually having a job herself. In the park however, she wants her husband, Morton, to stand up for her and her son, even though she isn't a supporter of violence and knows that it'll end up with Morton getting hurt quite badly if he does stand up for them. As a result, she takes on the role of the family “guardian” since her husband proves too weak for it. You can see that in this last bit of the story: “But her voice stopped him. She was shocked to hear it, thin and cold and penetrating with contempt. “Indeed?” she heard herself say. “You and who else?” (P. 2, lines 139-141)” This shows how she basically mimics the menacing man in the park, who she more or less must see as a “real man,” compared to husband at least. Those two men seem like a clash between two social standings/classes, Morton being a rather smart middle class guy and the other man probably working class with a not-so-long education. I say this mainly...

...Daniel Professor Federking English 1B 27 September 2013 Miss Brill We all have known and seen people who try to act younger than they really are. You know the ones who dress inappropriate to their age and refuse to acknowledge that they are old. The Character Miss Brill in Katherine Mansfield’s story “Miss Brill” is an old lady who does not realize that she no longer is in the younger demographic and is in denial that she is the same as “The old people”. It seems that in her mind the older folks are invisible, “still as statues” and “odd, silent, nearly all old.” (par. 5) Miss Brill believes that she is a part of all that is transpiring around her. Even in the end, with reality crashing in on her, Miss Brill still finds a way to shelter herself from the truth that she has become invisible and insignificant to the world around her. Miss Brill denies to herself that she is the kind of person who is disliked in her story. Miss Brill appears to be an elderly woman who does not think that she is seen that way by others her round her. Reading the story I picture her wearing an old, nice dress, which does not entirely fit her. Miss Brill is wearing a fur that is showing some wear, “”But the nose, which was of some black composition, wasn’t at all firm. It must have had a knock, somehow.” (par. 1) I could see Miss Brill walking down the street slowly as elderly people do with more effort and labor than others. She would be the lady who carried a purse that was much too big and...

...A Sunday La Grande Jatte The painting “A Sunday La Granda Jatte” is a canvas painted with oil in really small dots that makes up a whole picture and was produced in 1884. The image represents families in the late 1800s enjoying an afternoon in the park. The families are very wealthy because of the dresses and accessories they have on, for example the hats and cane. In addition the island these people are relaxing at is located in France and it is called La Grande Jatte. La Grande Jatte is painted by George Seurat who is a widely known painting in the era of impressionism with the technique known as pointillism. (technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are used to form an image) George Seurat was born in Paris, France and he was mostly raised by his mother. He first started to get art lessons from his uncle in his early years and then he went to a local art school. He attending various schools but ended up studying perception, color theory and the psychological power of line and form. (4) Which led him to start painting in the impressionism era with his bright light paintings. Impressionism is a 19th century art movement that originated with a group in Paris during 1870s to 1880s. Impressionism uses thin lines or dots to emphasize light, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. (3) “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” uses warm colors to represent the warmth family provides to each other and how...

...In "Miss Brill," Katherine Mansfield portrays a lonely and sensitive woman who finds Sundays very enjoyable and comforting. She tends to go out to the park on those particular days and observe all of the people out there. She’s very interested in the lives of others and enjoys being part of their lives for only moments long just by eavesdropping on their conversations or arguments. This could be due to the possibility of her life being dull and lacking excitement. She tends to temporarily escape her realities by drifting off and joining the realities of other individuals. In order for us to really understand Miss Brill we need to look her closely as a character. Miss Brill is portrayed as an elderly woman whom is happy and satisfied with her life. On Sundays she enjoys taking walks in the park where she watches and observes other people and momentarily takes a step and participates in their lives. Of the title the character, Miss Brill, Mansfield tell us, “Only two people shared her “special” seat a fine old man in a velvet coat, his hands clasped over a huge carved walking- stick, and a big old woman, sitting upright, with a roll of knitting on her embroidered apron.” (72). She refers to a special seat in the park where she always sits to observe every detail, every move that people does, pretending that is part of the play. When Miss Brill was in the park she said she felt as if she and everyone else were all part of a “play”. She also likes to listen in on the conversations...

...Despite the post-war peace, progressive attitudes, and economic successes with which the 1920’s are associated, the Weimar Republic was an incredibly insecure time for German people. From the eerie darkness of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to the destructive chaos of Metropolis, much of the era’s popular film thematized this insecurity with expressionistic flair. By the summer of 1929, however, the expressionist movement had faded, giving rise to a new movement: New Objectivity. Robert Siodmak’s People on Sunday led this movement, and it did so with prodigious support from German critics and audiences alike. Its lighthearted realism initially struck a note in thousands of viewers, and it continues to captivate viewers nearly a century later...
