Mo Willems Research Paper
Mo Willems- twitter @The_Pigeon, website< http://www.mowillems.com/> I enjoy Mo Willems’ illustrations because his characters are adorable and charming. For instance, the drawings of Elephant and Piggie show their enjoyment through their smiles. Also, Mr. Willems makes “The Pigeon” interesting by drawing him in two dimensions and with only one visible eye. Mr. Willems illustrations show expression and movement which helps expand the story line. His use of light colors, defined lines, and playful words make his stories engaging for children. An interesting fact about Mo Willems is that when he was younger he wrote a letter to Charles Schultz (Snoopy creator) telling him (Schultz) Mo wanted his job when he died (http://www.readingrockets.org/books/interviews/willems).

    Horatio Van Bliven Research Paper

    Emmy the chambermaid stole the necklace because she was jealous. First of all, the glass from the broken window in the door is scattered outside the room. This shows that the job was clearly done from someone on the inside. It’s important to notice this because it rules out the neighbor as the criminal. For if it was Honore’ Schmidt--coming into the hotel room from the balcony--the glass would have to be inside the room from him punching the glass in. That leaves only Emmy and Mrs. Van Bliven herself. So the second reason is that the chambermaid has a more realistic reason to have stolen the necklace. And that is jealousy of Mrs. Van Bliven’s wealth. From what can be acquired from the description of the woman and the crime scene itself, it is no secret that Horatio Van Bliven is a rich lady. Not to…

    Charles Drew Research Paper

    The person I chose to do my report on is Charles Richard Drew. I chose Charles Drew because he was a black doctor that worked with transfusing blood. I know that when people are sick or get shot and lose a lot of blood they may need a blood transfusion to help them live. I also know that blood transfusions are very important for people that have Sickle Cell because their blood gets infected and has to be replaced. I think that a black male doctor that worked with blood research is interesting. I do not know a lot of black doctor’s so to research someone that specialized in this area is why I decided to research Charles Drew.…

    On September 11, 2011, our client, John Dunham, shot and killed three trespassing hunting dogs on his property. He then used his dog as a deadly weapon to injure Jesse Hester, owner of the hunting dogs. Dunham raises an affirmative defense that he was merely protecting wildlife on his property and possessed a legal right to do so. Pursuant to my research, Dunham will most likely be charged with three crimes and unable to raise an affirmative defense to protection of wildlife on private property.…

    Although Dr. Seuss's books were different from other children's books in the fact that they usually had more of a political drive behind them, what made them the most unique was the way in which the books were presented. Everything from the rhyming, to the characters, to the words, and to the pictures. His books were very entertaining…

    Dr. Seuss Father

    The sound repetition makes it easier to memorize the stories. When the child can remember the words they feel like they are reading. Both child and parents know they only memorized it, but the child's confidence is boosted, and then next time the challenge of reading will be easier. The illustrations in the stories also help children learn to read. Most stories have made up words to follow the wacky rhyming patterns. These words can often not be understood by child or parent making the child, again, feel confident about reading. The illustrations can help the children figure out the word they do not know.In all of his works the illustrations create metaphors. Some of the best examples are back to his famous story, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street. When the child is traveling to school, he is carrying a large book that looks uncomfortable. This represents the child not enjoying…

    Willem de Kooning

    Willem de Kooning is considered one of the best American painters to ever live. He is compared to one of the Greek Sea Gods, Proteus, and is called "a master of a liquid realm who is gifted with prophecy" (Kertess).De Kooning is a highly intellectual, analytical artist with the courage to reject all assumptions and to take up an issue at its "most difficult formation" (Hess 16). One of de Kooning’s good friends was the poet, art critic, and MOMA Curator, Frank O'Hara. O’Hara considered de Kooning one of the three or four greatest painters of the twentieth century. He idolized de Kooning and was deeply influenced by de Kooning over their relationship. (Stevens 484) One of O'Hara's great poems about de Kooning's work was "Ode to Willem de Kooning" (Appendix A). At the time of writing the poem, the powerful critic Clement Greenberg would have suggested that only a trained, restrained art criticism with a limited vocabulary could have captured the essence of a piece of art, while Lytle Shaw believed that ekphrastic poetry is the best way to fully capture visual art (Bernstein). Ode to Willem de Kooning proves Greenberg wrong. O'Hara's poem captures the essence of a number of de Kooning's paintings.…

    I have chosen to look at Arthur Rackhams’s work because I recognised his illustrations of Alice in Wonderland which were in a book I read when I was younger. I really like the unusual technique he uses which really capture the fairy tale theme of his works. I think his illustrations are very interesting because they are beautiful and very detailed. Also, his style is from a time long past that is rarely seen today.…
