X Marked Wall Cartoon
I chose to describe the cartoon at the top of page 317. Sartre explains that nothingness separated himself from him. The cartoon shows a teenager facing a wall with an X on it. In front of the X marked wall is a middle age man looking backwards, and in front of him is another wall with an X on it. In front of that X marked wall is an old man facing forward. I believe this all has to do with change with in our own existence. Who we were as children and teenagers are not who we are as middle age, and old adults. Our reality is always changing and each stage in life is divided by some unseen force like nothingness. The X marked walls is that dividing force that splits up the stages of our life (Palmer).
Within those X marked walls I believe

    Summary Of Lucretius On The Nature Of Things

    One topic of the book is that everything in the world is made up of invisible particles which Lucretius called “the seeds of things” but also known as atoms. He believes that these seeds are eternal particles that are infinite in number but limited to shape and size, that have the capability to move around. Another topic is that the universe does not have a creator because the particles that we are made up of can not me made or destroyed. Lucretius talked about how everything happening is a result of a swerve and that it is the source of free will. The swerve is the smallest of motions that can set of a large amount of collisions. He believes that all living creatures have evolved of a long period of time through trial and error. Along with evolution he speaks how the world was not created for human nor are they unique, and that they began in a battle of survival. Also, he talks about how the soul dies leaving there to be no afterlife but it is alright because Lucretius says in death there in so pain or pleasure. His view on religions are that what they promise is not what they get and that angels, demons or ghost do not exist because their spirits are dead. Another one of his views is that delusion is an obstacle to pain because of the thought of infinite pleasure or…

    Yellow Wallpaper Symbols

    Gender roles play a significant part in The Yellow Wallpaper, represented heavily by the physical yellow wallpaper in the bedroom of the summer mansion. This story, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, even begins on the first page and throughout the entire story, the narrator portrays women in the common air of being dominated by men. Especially during this time, women were oppressed not only by their husbands but also by any male figure. For example, on page 28 she says, "John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage…personally, I disagree with their ideas…but what is one supposed to do?" The results of what happens in The Yellow Wallpaper…

Then he elucidates the different views both of them have concerning the wall.

Thus, the speaker things of the other man as an “old-stone savage” who moves in the “darkness.” The darkness means he cannot see another view, he is just stuck with one opinion.…

    Why Does Sartre Say That Our Emotions Are Transformations of the World

    As we go through life we encounter various situations that we have to deal with, and our emotions help us deal with these situations. For example, if we find a food looks disgusting, we will not eat it, and for good reason, disgust is a mechanism that stops us getting ill, as if some food appears disgusting to us, then it is probably because it is putrid or rotten, and would actually make us ill. The emotion of disgust controls our actions and a situation has been dealt with, we experience emotions to help ourselves deal with life, but we can control these emotions. Our minds alter their perception of things to better cope with a situation or event. However, Sartre argues that our emotions transform the world. Our consciousnesses will be altered by our emotions under certain situations. One example that Sartre uses is a bunch of grapes. There are some grapes that I would like to harvest, but they are out of reach. So I walk away and shrug my shoulders and tell myself that the grapes looked too green anyway, and they were sour. I tell myself this in order to make myself feel better about not being able to reach the grapes. I project onto the…

All the rest, I saw, is merely what pushes me, or what I push against, blindly-as blindly as all that is not myself pushes back.”…

    Pollitical Cartoon

    This political cartoon displays two children hiding under their classroom desks, hands over their heads in a fetal position. The desk on the left says “1950’s” where as the desk on the left says the current year, “2012.” Both children claim to be hiding for a specific reason, the boy of the 50’s claims it is because of the Russians, while thee one on the left states that it is because of his fellow classmates. The message that the illustrator is attempting to convey is that the problems children of the 1950’s faced are very different than those that today’s current younger generation face on a day to day basis. At the time, the major issue that children, as well as people of all ages, faced was the threat of a potential bombing of the US by the Soviets. Various ‘duck-and-cover’ drills and maneuvers were practiced by the majority of schools, just as commonly, if not more often than todays rehearsed ‘Fire Drills.’ The illustrator is saying that, in comparison, the biggest issue that most kids and teens face in 2012 s bullying. In fact, a recent study shows that 90% of 4th through 8th graders report being victims of bullying, and 282,000 students attending secondary schools are physically attacked each month. Something as minuscule as bulling should not be as large of an issue then it is.…

    Hart Crane Is Life Analysis

    He struggles to find a focus in life. The uncertainty of the narrator leads him to a life filled with meaningless purposes. He cannot continue with his life, to some extent, a "coda" must be put, or should I say urged, in order for his life to gain some kind of meaning. The "grace notes" of his life reveals vivid images of society, religions, and social changes. From the Eucharistic wafer to the murder of the computer programmer, he tries to view a perspective of life that might bring meaning to him, yet, he cannot comprehend how these meanings developed. His image of the world, a true existentialist belief -- that "life with its little joys, griefs, triumphs, and tragedies, is a very brief interlude between two vast abysses of nothingness." And in the grace note, of the two backward steps and then again the forward movement, a coda seems to be…

    What the artist has created become less about the physicality of it and about the philosophy and the idea behind it. He takes the idea that there are no more criterion to what makes “art” art, that anything can be art, and thus the term “art” becomes meaningless and needs a new term: pluralism. The freedom that anyone can create something and it may possibly be considered pluralism or a…
