In this painting “Nighthawks”‚ by Edward Hopper‚ there is 4 people‚ 3 men and a woman. It looks like there is one man alone and a couple. What this painting literally depicts for me is a lonely man and a couple stop by late at night for maybe a cup of tea‚ or some sort or beverage‚ maybe even to clear their minds a little or something troubling has happened. The couple does not seem to be married but more in an affair. The man by himself seems to be troubled and came to clear his mind. The town is

Saving the environment is the environmentalist’s ultimate goal‚ while the people-first critics look more to the human aspect of everything. Scientist Edward O.

While visiting family in Boston for the weekend‚ I returned to the Museum of Fine Arts. I came upon another of John Singer Sargent’s works‚ Daughters of Edward Darley Boit.

Three of the girls appear to be staring blankly at the painter‚ while one stands facing to the side

A contemporary scientist‚ Edward O. Wilson‚ writes two argumentative passages‚ and places them next to each other to prove a major point. In these passages Wilson satirizes the language of two groups that are on two opposite sides when it comes to the environment. He makes these passages plum silly looking‚ just as two kids would fight over who receives the largest glass of milk. Wilson uses invective language as a satirical element in his two passages. The People-First Critics call the Environmentalists

Lance Morrison Professor Evans Writing 021 3/6/09 Topic: Gun Control: Would it really help? “If guns are outlawed‚ only outlaws will have guns‚” Edward Abbey argues in his essay‚ “The Right to Arms.” Many people are familiar with the expression‚ “Guns don’t kill people.
