It is important to look forward to the future while still remembering the past. In Marilyn Nelson Waniek’s poem “The Century Quilt,” a comfortable tone and detailed symbolism work together to reveal how a family heirloom can be both a reminder of heritage and as well as a representation of dreams for the future. Throughout the poem, the poet’s cozy tone elicits a sense of happy nostalgia, showing the character’s contentment with the thoughts that the quilt causes her to reflect upon. Phrases such as, “Each square holds a sweet gum leaf whose fingers I imagine would caress me into the silence,” and “I think I’d have good dreams for a hundred years under this quilt, as Meema must have” show that she takes comfort in her remembrance. This conveys…

The imagery in “Cousin Kate” conveys how the love between the lord and the poor maiden was only temporary. “He wore me like a golden knot, He changed me like a glove”. The clothing imagery illustrates that the women meant hardly anything to the man.

Knots can be easily untied.…

Like the old benches that we always sat on. They are no different than before. Why does she want grandma’s butter dish? What ruckus over some old quilts. The strange thing about it is that I offered them to her and she did not want them before. But now they have some meaning to her that they must sit. These old things are not for sitting! I won’t forget where I came from. I lived it! Why should they sit and not be used? Those quilts should be used, and Maggie would put use them as they should be.

races, nationalities, religion, cultures, backgrounds and sexual orientation in America. In Anna Quindlen’s “A Quilt of a Country” she explains how people view America. She writes that being an American is an idea that works despite that fact that it should not due to the diversity that exist in the country. Quindlen informs the reader that America was uniquely built on no particular culture or race. She compares America to a quilt which is made up of various patterns, styles, designs, fabrics, and colors with each individual pattern having its own unique meaning and story. When the patterns are stitched together, they form a united body and still maintain its own uniqueness, belief, culture, color and distinctive qualities. Quindlen called…

David Bowie introduced us to Ziggy Stardust, New York introduced us to Iris Apfel. The first and only museum in the world to exhibit the interior designer and eccentric fashion icon is that of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City, USA. As the ultimate fashion capital city of the world, it’s no wonder why The Costume Institute was born within the museum to pay homage to the various fashion fortresses, integrating textiles and historical relevance. It’s safe to say that while Iris Apfel inspires individuality and expressionism, along with the exuberance for culture and eclecticism, this too bodes true for the city of New York. The Met recognizes that fashion is an ever evolving, living, breathing form of art, and for this reason I…
She describes a place where every grandchild will feel happy, secure, and love.

The Arts and Craft movement was a social and artistic movement, which began in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century and continued into the twentieth spreading to continental Europe and the USA. Its adherents-artists, architects, designers and Craftsmen sought to reassert the importance of and craftsmanship in all arts in the face of increasing industrialization, which they felt was sacrificing quality in the pursuit of quantity. Its supporters and practioners were united not so much by a style rather than the common goal- a desire to break down the hierarchy of the arts and to revive traditional handicrafts and make art that could be affordable to all.…
The events occurred in the period that goes from 1850 to 1950, are directly connected with what happened in Europe from the beginning of the 19th century. In particular, they were influenced by Romanticism, but Romanticism could not have existed without the radical changes that the Enlightenment spread one century before. The Enlightenment, was a complex cultural movement that developed around 1700 from England, across Europe, with the aim of "enlighten" with the light of reason the minds of men. The Enlighteners believed that man, while having by nature a precious good, that is his intellect, had not done a good use of it in the past, remaining in a state…
