...Viva la Vida! by Frida Kahlo Introduction Painting has always been a way for artists to display the reality in which they live, regardless of whether it is an inner reality, consisting of personal experiences, emotions and feelings, or external reality formed by other people, animals, nature, or other thing. Frida Kahlo is an artist whose work is the result of a reflection of her inner reality, woven from her feelings and emotions. The pain and suffering, which she endured in her life, not only hardened her character, but also largely determined the features of her work. Frida Kahlo's creativity is unique due to the fact that it reflects not only the unique life story of the artist, full of mental and physical sufferings, but also demonstrates the spiritual qualities of Frida, such as fortitude, endurance, willingness to fight for life. For this reason, the study of the creativity of the Mexican artist involves an appeal to the facts of her biography. It helps to understand and grasp the specifics of her creations, each of which is capable to communicate with the audience in the language of love, suffering, and hopes of life. In this paper, one of my favorite artworks, namely Viva la Vida! (1954) by Frida Kahlo in connection with the life of the artist will be analyzed. The Facts from the Biography of Frida Kahlo Frida Kahlo (1907-1953) is known worldwide as one of the most dramatic figures in the history of art: at the age of 18 she got in a terrible car accident that...

In one quatrain he went from having all this power and being able to...

...1. In what ways can people both belong and not belong simultaneously? People can both belong and not belong simultaneously because a person may feel that he/she belongs to a certain place or group but may feel that they don’t belong because of their relationship with the people within the place or group. e.g. Orlando feels a sense of belonging because he is his father’s son but feels he doesn’t belong because of the way that Oliver treats him e.g. Rosalind belongs to the court but doesn’t belong when her father gets banished from the court and she doesn’t belong anymore e.g. (Dropzone) Ethan feels that he belongs to the shit city and apartment block because he has lived there and grown up there all of his life, but feels he doesn’t belong because of his hatred for his father and because of the crime and bad nature of his suburb 2. Explore the significance of place on one’s sense of belonging Place can have a significant impact on a persons sense of belonging. Place is something that each one of us belong to, and although one place may have a significant meaning to more than one person, each of the meanings for each individual is completely different for each and every person. - place provide sense of security and feelings of belonging - can change who you are e.g. The significance of his suburb and apartment block because he has lived there all of his life e.g. Significance of FreeFall to Ethan because it was the first place where he felt that he actually belonged...

...For this assignment we are to apply our knowledge of linguistics to a practical situation. The situation I chose to address involves brand names and linguistics of a new perfume. According to Paola Norambuena, linguistics is the study of the structure and development of language. Because all humans learn and use language, linguistics becomes a key factor when brands decide on names for their products. These names aim to represent products in positive ways that catch the consumer’s attention. Some aspects that play into the way that consumers interpret brand names include semantic relations, connotations, sounds in the name, differentiation, ownability, sensitivity, and credibility. A product name that is semantically related to a product is one that has a similar meaning to the product itself. Differentiation involves the idea that an item’s name is unique enough to set it apart from other products in the same category. Ownability refers to the fact that a company must be able to legally own the rights to a product’s name, so it can’t have a name that has already been taken by a different company. Sensitivity deals with respecting other cultures as well as the company’s own culture when choosing a product name, making sure not to choose one that is offensive or could be offensive in translation. The credibility of a product’s name is concerned with the fact that consumers want to purchase items that sound legitimate. The name of a product can directly affect a consumer’s decision...

...Landy Waight History 7B Nola M. Hadley Torres 21 September 2015 The Sixties Extra Credit – Viva La Raza! For this assignment I chose to read an interesting section titled “Viva La Raza!” from the Digital History reading. Out of all the readings that were options to choose from this was the most appealing to me. What was appealing to me is that from all the history classes I have taken in my life, whether it was in high school or college, I can barely recall anytime I learned something about Mexicans or Latinos in general, during the sixties. Although the other topics that are usually discussed during this period are extremely important to acknowledge in America’s history (Civil Rights Movement, Feminism, etc.), I also feel that it is important to recognize the events that took place in the Chicano movement. What I learned from this reading that Mexican immigration rose very rapidly, mainly because of the growth of Mexico’s population, which tripled in 50 years (Mintz, S., & McNeil, S. (2015). Viva La Raza. Digital History. 10/28/15. http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/era.cfm?eraID=14&smtID=1). Since the U.S. had higher wages, many Mexican’s chose to come to the America looking for a better economical opportunity. These immigrants face many challenges, including poverty and discrimination. There were many organizations formed during this period to challenge these problems, one for example was the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). The LULAC was basically a...

...Winston Wood English 1101 For many people, music is one of the most important aspects of life. It can help someone through a hard time, bring out creativity and passion and even heal the soul. Unfortunately, with the advancements in technology, that very same creativity and passion ceases to exist in most music today. The soul of music has now been destroyed. Musical instruments have now been replaced by computers, which take away the physical and emotional connection between artists and their instrument. As a musician, I am utterly disgusted by this. Also, more and more artists do not write any of their own material anymore, especially if they have sold out to big companies such as Viacom, Walt Disney and Time Warner. Since the “digital age” of music, artists have been in a race with one another to see who can make the most popular and highest grossing material the fastest. This results in single and album flops, because the producers and artists do not take the time to thoroughly review all the material, basically creating less- than desirable music. The relationship between artists and their work is sacred, and not only in music. Imagine this; an extremely talented painter just finished her newest painting. She wishes to sell the promotional rights of her newest piece to a big company to gain exposure for her work. Instead of promoting the original painting she created, they edit the piece with cutting-edge technology to their own liking and promote their edited...
