What a sensation was made about the Sensation exhibition in the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The focus of Mayor Giuliani’s outcry was the piece "The Holy Virgin Mary" by Chris Ofili. Funny‚ he didn’t give attention to some of the other outrageous works including the pubescent female mannequins studded with erect penises‚ vaginas‚ and anuses‚ fused together in various postures of sexual coupling‚ or the portrait of a child molester and murder made from what appears like child hand prints or bisected animals

Little motes glint in the sunbeam. It is good to sit still in this holy place. Here in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem (a long tradition and many Biblical historians and archaeologists claim) was Calvary. Here‚ on this mount‚ Jesus’ hands and feet were nailed to

Misleading Love Although love can be kind and beautiful‚ it can cause some people to become blind and follow their hearts rather than think with their mind. “Sonnet 30” by Edmund Spenser dramatizes the conflict of a man’s burning desire to be with a woman who has no interest in him. Edmund Spenser uses the metaphorical comparisons of dramatically opposites‚ fire and ice. The man is fire‚ who is obsessed for this ice cold hearted woman‚ which returns nothing. The poem explains why this man can’t

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 is a parody of the traditional love poem. He takes hyperbolic similes and metaphors and proves how ridiculous they are. He gets us away from the kind of fake beauty that is found in most love poems and crushes romantic clichés. Although this sonnet may seem like the speaker is criticizing his mistress and pointing out every single one of her flaws‚ he is simply being realistic. Since this is a Shakespearean sonnet‚ it is composed of 14 lines and uses the iambic pentameter

As the perspicacious Pierre Berton once said‚ “Racism is a refuge for the ignorant. It seeks to divide and to destroy. It is the enemy of freedom‚ and deserves to be met head-on and stamped out.” Joanne Hyppolite‚ the author of the story “Dyaspora‚” faces racism first-hand as she grows up Haitian American. Using second-person point of view‚ she encourages the reader to put themselves in the author’s shoes. Consequently‚ the author’s repetitive use of the word “you” helps the reader to assimilate

True Love Transcends Time in Sonnet 116 Shakespeare talks about love‚ which can be one of the most difficult and confusing parts of life. Through the use of metaphors and graphic language Shakespeare tries to show the reader what he thinks love is. His goal is to prove that true love is clear and that it has a real definition. He seeks to do this by making us see love in a different light‚ deeper than just what it appears to be at first. Shakespeare doesn’t write what he thinks true love is‚ instead

and powerful ways. Love is expressed in the poems Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare and Crikey by Cilla McQueen through ideas of eternal beauty and being overwhelmed by love; and the feelings of excitement and longing for the preservation of the love conveyed. To determine the accuracy of the statement ‘poets express ideas and feeling about love in different ways’ the two poems that are being analysed firstly need to be compared. Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 uses iambic pentameter to develop a beat at which
