The play Naked Lunch by Michael Hollinger focuses on the relationship between the two characters Vernon and Lucy. The two had previously had a romantic relationship, but for whatever reason ended it. In an attempt to get Lucy back, Vernon invites her to have a steak dinner with him. When Lucy refuses to eat the steak (due to the fact that she is now a vegetarian), things quickly take the turn for the worst. Throughout the play Vernon is controlling, demeaning, manipulative and abusive, and though it seems that Lucy tried to turn her life around and wants better for herself, she is submissive towards him. While telling the story of a previously estranged couple, Michael Hollinger uses metaphor, imagery and characterization in order to show that the hostile diner is more than just a diner; it is a metaphor for an abusive relationship and rape.…
We chatted about our adventures while we went to their destination telling my story about getting in trouble with a bear. When we got to the cave we took a picture. Then they asked me if I wanted to go to a Scooby doo party I said yes, so they gave me directions for the party. Then we parted. I headed to the big drop it was a ten minute walk when I arrived there was a big s-log it was cool so I stopped to take a picture and I moved on then there was a small ledge that I needed to climb off of there was a boulder that I needed to step on to get over the ledge the boulder was sturdy so I grabed on the boulder to help me get down the suddenly the boulder came loose and me and the boulder fell i landed on the ground fine but the boulder was falling and it was so fast for me to do anything all that I did was put my hands over my head so I could push it away but then slam I yelled oww! Then everything froze I saw my arm crushed between the boulder and the canyon wall. I stared at it, I was shocked. I tried to lift it with my left hand but it wouldn’t budge so I tried slamming into it with my shoulder didn’t work but I kept lifting and slamming into it anyway because this was the only chance I got to move the boulder with brute force because of…
I was 17 years old. It was Max’s 18th. It was a pool party with chaperones, one person in particular happened to be my cousin. It was a cool party. The weather was nice, sunny but a breeze wind now and then. Things were good until my attempts to leave the changing rooms. I was halted by one of the ladies that worked there. Apparently, the swimming pool had a specific set of rules for what you had to wear in the pool. I had not known that. At the time, I was wearing a pair of blue shorts and a baggy grey t-shirt. I was not allowed to swim, in these clothes and since I didn’t owe a swimsuit - she decided to lend me a one-piece swimsuit. I was exposed. I was self-conscious of my body. Never in my life have I worn fitted clothes and to top it off, I had a chubby body. I wasn’t obese but I had my fair share of flabbier. This made me feel out of place, I was insecure of my body more than usual because all my friends looked good! Besides I was a tomboy. This made my cousin my cousin laugh so much, she could barely stand up. Yup, thanks for the self-esteem boost. You can just imagine, what happens next. It was so funny that she had gone and told my mum. Who angrily said “villi lagga nathi adumak?” (Are you not shamed in showing off your body like that?) I was grounded for a month. I was isolated from my friends, the TV in my room was removed and lastly the play station was taken to my brother’s room. A space, I wasn’t allowed in.…
Then my mom picked me up and rocked me to sleep. Her robe is soft and warm. It takes about 10 minutes for me to fall asleep. Then my dad comes over to pick me up out of my mom’s arms and I fall asleep in my dad’s arms. Next thing I know I see my dad walking down the hall to my room with me in his arms. From the way I see it, I’m dying.…

Throughout history there have been many artists that have helped art take a new turn, as they express their attitudes, beliefs, influences and concerns through their work, this becomes evident through all the ways that the reclining nude is depicted. Titian was the first artist who established the reclining nude by painting his version of an idealized female form as we are able to see in “Venus of urbino” (1538). Edouard Manet was known for challenging his society through his version of the reclining nude recreating it in his work “Olympia” (1863) in order to show the culture of his time. Yasumasa Morimura also appropriated work, recreating manet’s in order to challenge cultures and gender roles in society through his work “futago” (1988). Jean Ingres challenged how the nude was portrayed and positioned, this is evident through his work “la grande odalisque” (1814). In turn the gurilla girls, a well known feminist organization who bring up contemporary issues through the appropriations of Ingre’s work created “what does a girl have to do to get hung” (1989).…
In the second stanza Graves cites three positive examples of “naked.” For lovers the lack of clothes is obviously appropriate and a turn on. The condition is also appropriate for doctors, but they only see anatomy. The virgin goddess Diana is so innocent that she wears nothing, so…
It was summer time and I was wearing my West Scranton football shorts and shirt, it was a normal day in the summer I was sitting in my living room with the air conditioner turned all the way down to 60 to get a cool breeze. I was watching Iron man but I really was not that into I kept drifting off and thinking what I should do with my day. My older brothers Shawn and Anthony came to the door around 2 in the afternoon and asked me if I wanted to go swimming. I quickly galloped up the stairs and asked my mother if I could go, she said yeah just be safe. So we left and went to a place called the “Rez” it was a place where high school and college kids go to jump off rocks and have a good time, it was a nice area surrounded by…
When I was in fifth grade (12years old) I was at a friend's house for the first time. Me and her were playing in the basement, her brother (17years old)and his friend were on the other side of the room playing video games while me and her were throwing back and forth a big yoga ball. Me and her are throwing back and forth and I miss it, before I can grab it, it hits her brothers Lego Death Star. I look up at her and all I see is fear, she grabs my arm and screams to run. We make it up the first flight of stairs but at the top of the second flight is a very narrow hallway and you had to take a sharp right turn to get to her room and I tripped and fell hard on the wood stairs, she was already in her room screaming at me to get up but I couldn't…
It was just a normal day. I woke up, bruhsed my teeth, and took a nice long shower. With the mirrors full of steam and the water dripping down the side. I dried off and put on some Nike sweats and headed upstairs while my sister (Audryanna) was sleeping. As I…
It seems that there is no difference when you say, “Naked and Nude”. They are often called synonyms. For me, these words will not always be interchangeable depending on how one interprets it. A "nude" or "naked" body can be represented in a variety of ways. Confiding on your social or cultural environment, there are different connotations to the words "naked" and "nude". These connotations are not always present, but overall I would say these are the general differences. "Naked" has a raw connotation, whereas many people use the word "nude" when referring to a body presented in an artistic way, which focuses on the form and shape of the body. "Nude" means uncovered, unadorned, unashamed, comfortable, pure, and purposeful. It's much more common to refer to voluntary and comfortable nudity by describing someone as nude. I believe that it is the presentation of the "naked" or "nude" body that makes the difference, not which word is chosen to describe it. Most people will use the word "naked" when referring to a body presented in an arousing or sexual way. "Naked" also means something akin to: Bear, stripped, exposed, vulnerable or inadequate. Something described as naked is often that way involuntarily. Frost sees nakedness as something natural and guileless. In nakedness, people see “Anatomy”. People see nudity as something that is unsure and villainous in sorts. To be naked is to be oneself. Also nakedness, according to John Berger ist the acted sexual love while nude is the body which is to one self. Also nakedness, according to John Berger is the acted sexual love while nude is the body which is to be locked at the consumed. While being rude is the body which is the body which is to be looked at to be consumed. While being nude on the other hand is a form of display .To be naked id private and to be nude is…
Then, a few weeks later, after I got home from softball practice, there was a strange but familiar looking truck parked beside moms car. After getting a shower and fixing myself something to eat I noticed mom come out of her room. Normally when she would come out of her room she would leave her door open, but not this time. I knew that something was up, and I asked her who was there. She whispered and said that his name was Scott. Come to find out that it was the guy who helped us move into the apartment. Talk about an awkward situation. This was my mom, and she wasn't supposed to have someone staying over at the house,…
The nude has remained an ever present piece in art history. The nude, in essence captures humanity across the ages (ezinearticles.com). Since the beginning of time, the male and female nude has been inspiring artists. The shapes and forms that make up the body naturally create beauty and sensuality. Even with the first caveman drawing, the human form was etched in artistic impression thus adding aesthetic features to their creations.…
Under the large oak tree stood a little boy with his parents helping him to light his sparkler. This clearly was his first time as he was a little worried that it would burn his tiny little fingers. Most of the children were in groups showing off to each other how big their fireworks were or what effects it produced. The adults were busy buying kids their late night snacks.…
It story started when my mom gave birth to a new baby boy in our family . I was in cloud nine that day as my father told me that I have a new brother . " Wohoo ! " I shouted.
