Personal Narrative-I Am Corn
I got new socks yesterday, and found a Santa hat for my (unglazed) Sumo sculpture, just thought you might want to know.

Okay, that was probably way too much crazy for you at this early juncture in our friendship, I’ll employ more restraint in the future.

JoAnn
P.S. I got soap in my eyes while showering today, it hurt really bad.

Remember those grown-up conversations we use to have in days of yore? Yeah, me too. It was really good practice for me on the whole grown-up thingy. Perhaps, we can have another grown-up talk someday.

I actually have two Sumo sculptures (only one has a hat), I feel strongly that they’re underrepresented (don’t get me started!) in the art world.

Uh-oh, looks like the crazy is still there.

    Hammurabi's Code: Was It Just?

    People should not break laws any ways, but most people did not break laws in 1792 because, if you did you could have your eyes gouged out, you could have your hands chopped off and you could even be killed. Hammurabi was a good king to the people of babylon in 1792 BCE. He created laws to keep people from doing bad things and to keep people from going crazy, he also wanted to protect family’s, orphans and the poor. The question is “Was Hammurabis code Just” most people wonder what does just mean, just means fair. I believe that Hammurabi’s code is fair and I will explain in the next paragraph.…

    Personal Narrative: Corn Holes

    Corn hole was the second thing I tried at Fall Fest. This game is not the most thrilling thing in the world. There were several people that were waiting to play because it was pretty much the only thing to do. I am not very good at it, which is weird because the only thing you have to do is toss a bean bag onto a wooden box that has a hole in it. I have never understood the corn hole rules so that didn’t help. The way to get points is by making it in the hole or if the bag stays on the board, but I don’t know how the scoring works. My bags always missed or bounced off the board anyways. I was going to play volleyball after corn hole, but there was no one else playing it so I just watched a bunch of other people play corn hole. Countless other…

    The Jomon Culture

    These pieces of art are often ignored because of the Jomon’s unique pottery, but are a critical part of their culture. These figurines were often very varied, as many different villages of the Jomon often made them different sizes and shapes than others (Gleason, 2015). The oldest known dogu was discovered in Shiga, dating back to the Incipient Jomon period, about 13,000 years ago (Gleason, 2015). Most of the dolls are found in the northern and eastern parts of Japan, such as the Kanto region (Gleason, 2015). Dogu are human effigies, with many being female, often pregnant and usually are broken or appear to be purposely broken (Gleason, 2015). Although the dogu have been studied extensively, the purpose of the figures still remain a mystery. It is thought that they were broken in rituals for things such as the promotion of good health, to cure illnesses, or promote fertility (Kawagoe, 2007). Others found in western Japan are thought of to represent fortune in agriculture (Kawagoe, 2007). The earliest creations were headless, and are strongly believed to represent an earth goddess or deity (Kawagoe, 2007). This changed in the Middle Jomon, when they started to acquire heads and other human characteristics, such as prominent breasts, buttocks and genitalia (Gleason, 2015). Also this is when animal-shaped dolls, such as a cat, start to make an appearance (Kawagoe, 2007). The introduction of animal-shaped dogu indicate signs of animistic forms of nature worship, deeming them sacred (Kawagoe, 2007). Dogu are very important when studying the Jomon culture because they show the prowess and importance of shaman in the culture, which used these extensively. These dolls transformed and evolved into later eras in Japanese culture, changing dramatically from their…

    Branded Nation

    Branded Nation was written by James B. Twitchell a professor of marketing and English at University of Florida. In his book he wrote about institutions that are looked up upon by the public as ones that are outside the area of organizations that sell merchandises and services. These institutions are not traditionally connected with marketing, or even branding, but, as you start to read through the book you soon realize they are. The three institutions in his book are, the church, the university, and the museum. . These organizations are not perceived to be associate with the world of advertising and fierce marketing. Twitchell argues that the need for salvation, which he calls a human 'epiphany', becomes the emotional product of religion. Twitchell says that all culture "comes to us through a commercial process of story-telling called branding."(Twitchell 2).…

    Personal Narrative: My Identity

    I am of Chinese descent and one of the biggest parts of being Chinese is food. Food in China is diverse and unique from region to region. As a result, one’s cooking will often reflect one’s identity. As I learn to cook, I have to choose. Will I favor the Szechuan style, hot, spicy, yet heart-warming? Perhaps I’ll favor the sweet Shanghai style, more delicate, yet more refined. Or, I may go with my parent’s Shandong Style, rich, powerful, and familiar to me. As I learn to cook, I will refine my identity through the dishes I…

    Does moving to a new place change everything you ever experience? Moving to a whole new descriptive place is like being pop out of your mothers belly again.

    Who am I? That has always been an essential question for as long as I can remember. I never really understood why we had to answer that question along the way, but I’m now a senior at SJPII and I still have no idea who I am. It really bothers me that for 16 years I still haven’t figured out who I am. Constantly going from class to class and making new friends I still can’t pin point who the “real” me is.…
