Aristotle once said‚ “The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” In Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron‚” the government attempts to create equality between all individuals‚ and unfortunately‚ propitiously succeeds. The equality laws state that all of mankind must be identical to each other in terms of appearance and knowledge.

Analysis of ‘Portrait of Mother III’ by David Hockney. David Hockney painted his mother many times after studying art at the Bradford school of art. I am not sure that this specific painting provides a story but maybe the whole group of paintings of his mother at different times and in different styles does tell a story.
