    Walter Podbielski Professor Harris HUMN 420 Week 3 assignment 01/26/08 For week 3 assignment I chose the Van Gough painting and the corresponding poem “The StarryNight” by Anne Sexton.

In contrast morning and daylight give way to life‚ the flowers opening up to the sun’s warmth and birds awaking; the day begins. The painting shows a town at night‚ which is asleep‚ quiet and peaceful. During

    The Psychology of Becoming Walter White Vince Gilligan‚ creator of Breaking Bad‚ said that his goal with Walter White was to turn Mr. Chips into Scarface. Take a regular person‚ like you—assume you’re regular for a second—and then make you nice and evil‚ like a witch in a gingerbread house. Is that really even possible? Could you become another Walter White? I’m inclined to believe that most of us still think some people are good and some people are bad‚ and never the twain shall meet. Despite

The main character Walter White‚ a chemistry teacher at a high school‚ is diagnosed

    Vince Gilligan has managed to create‚ quite possibly one of the greatest shows ever‚ Breaking Bad. In the pilot episode‚ the audience was introduced to Walter White‚ a middle-aged high school Chemistry teacher. He sounds like an average‚ typical man‚ but he was introduced in the most peculiar way.

How is this man in such
