Tom Wesselmann’s acrylic painting on linen Smoker #9 was created in 1973, a time when sex appeal could sell just about anything. His billboard style painting is simplistic yet very dramatic. The picture concentrates on a limited number of object: a woman’s mouth, a cigarette, a woman’s hand and smoke. Isolated on the wall, these elements are deprived of a background allowing the shape of the canvas provides an empathetic boundary between the world of the picture and the world around it.…
The book Breathing, In Dust, by Tim Hernandez, begins with Tlaloc expecting to attend a cafe at Olevera Plaza at nine pm sharp to recite a poem. In order to reach Olevera Plaza, first, Tlaloc had to take a grueling eight hour bus trip on Highway 99 where a dilemma had happened with three guys busted from the cops at Bakersfield due to not having their cards or reasoning with the police. Once that was over, Tlaloc then went to the ticket counter asking a woman a route to reach Olevera Plaza. Due to the fact that Tlaloc had only three dollars, he couldn't get a ride to reach Olevera Plaza and the only way to reach Olevera Plaza was to enter the eleventh street. Without having any choice, Tlaloc then scurried his way to the eleventh street always…

In 1990, Congress declared November as American Indian Heritage Month, and they also passed the Native American Languages Act, followed by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. At the same time, movie Dances With Wolves was timely and it reminded American people that Indians occupied the country long before Christopher Columbus set foot on it. During the whole 1990s, American Indian became hot property in Hollywood. Studios scrambled to duplicate the success of Dances With Wolves and created a cycle of sympathetic Indian-themed movies. As a result, people began to put focus on Native American and their culture, history, traditions and language. Meanwhile, Native American, being out of the stage of the U.S. culture for many years, started to think about whom they are and what a real Indian identity is.…

It’s wonderful to see how two very distinct individuals, meaning different culture, have so much passion for Africa. Taking their time to plan, travel and even learn 50 words of that tribe/group before they entered. Ten years of documenting, traveling and living with these groups must have become their only priority. I find grace and true selflessness in how Beckwith and Fisher would help these villages with the concept as stated in the article: “And our goal wasn’t to give them something that would depend on us to maintain but, rather, to help them with something that they could have for themselves, totally apart from us.” The ceremonies which stand out to Beckwith and Fisher from their travel are amazing, I believe we have to realize we live in a society (U.S) that is very individualist, and these villages work together in everything, teaching each other and hopefully passing on the culture.…

It is important for the world to increase smoking habits because of the positives like changed physical features, a shortened lifespan, and a new social image.…

Dylan’s hit “Blowin’ in the Wind” off the 1963 album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan was one of his best works that raises questions about war, peace and freedom while showing off his profound talent of songwriting.…
