“An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.” This was once said by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley. That may be true‚ but what does it take to become one? How do artists find their passion? Elizabeth McKemy is currently a skilled art teacher at the Wilson High School. Art is not only her career‚ but it’s her passion‚ too. This has not always been her path‚ though. Like many people‚ McKemy at‚ one point‚ did not know what she wanted to do with her life. McKemy first got into art during

conversations the name Elizabeth Blackwell is very unlikely to be brought up. For most people the name may cause confusion to spread over the attendees face. The name Elizabeth Blackwell has an important meaning to me and quite possibly some other women too. For me‚ Elizabeth is not a conversation ender but a starter. She ignites passion‚ inspiration‚ and hope for the future. For the future of women. For the future of medicine. Elizabeth Blackwell‚ formally Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell‚ was the first

Elizabeth’s Character – Good or Bad? Just like many puritan women‚ Elizabeth Proctor is reserved‚ slow to complain‚ and dutiful. Elizabeth’s moral character proves to be an important factor all through the book. She gives people in the play and people today the example on how to treat others when she said‚ "I have sins of my own to count" (Miller 137). People can’t go around judging others and not check themselves and be rightly so to judge. Before she knew of this she said‚ "I have read my heart"

The Crucible:Elizabeth Proctor Out of all the characters‚in my opinion‚ Elizabeth is the best character in the cast in the Crucible. She was a faithful wife‚ a good mother‚ and strong in her faith/religion. Even though her husband cheated on her she still remained faithful to him. Sure she was depressed about it‚ but what woman wouldn’t be when she has discovered her partner has cheated on her? While she was sick no less‚ the time John should have been most faithful! She could’ve cheated on

Elizabeth Bishop poses interesting questions delivered by means of a unique style. Do you agree? Focus on themes and stylistic features. In my opinion‚ Elizabeth Bishop has a unique style of asking interesting questions. Bishop invites us along on the journey with her. She does this by her “painterly eye” which she has been praised for. In her poems she takes the ordinary and turns it into the extraordinary. As a reader‚ I wonder why she goes into so much detail. There is a story behind each of
