For my book report I read the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. This book was published by Haughton Mifflin in 2005. The novel takes place mostly in New York City‚ shortly after terrorists destroy the Twin Towers in 2001. However‚ the time switches from the narrator’s present to the late 1940s when his grandparents are newlyweds and even farther back to when they are teenagers in Germany. In the present time‚ Oskar lives in an apartment building. Across the street

Adoption over all is a wonderful option‚ but there are two distinct types a family should think about before going through with the process.

Chuck Close When one first enters the gallery that contains Chuck Close’s artwork he or she will find him or herself confronted with enormous portraits of subjects that stare straight at them. From afar some of these pieces even look like they may be enlarged photographs‚ but at a closer inspection one may see the time-consuming method that the artist used. One of the most distinctly unique characteristics about this artist’s work is his use of mixed media throughout all of his pieces. Each painting

Self-Portrait* (1967-1968). I will begin by describing and display the significance of this piece. I chose Chuck Close’s Self-Portrait* (1967-1968)‚ as my thesis image‚ this work is an example of the excellent superealism and photorealism that Chuck Close is capable of and known for. In the first stage of his painting career‚ he did a lot of abstract paintings and later he focused on new ways to portray the human figure‚ since 1964. His work was superealistic and gigantic in size featuring atypical
