In comparing Kenton’s treatment of both AIDS victims‚ we can conclude that he was not only morbidly afraid of contracting AIDS‚ but he was more fearful of the moral implications attached to the transmission of the disease. The entire firm feared Beckett because of the stigma attached to AIDS and‚ ultimately‚ to homosexuality. Kenton personally justifies labeling Beckett as a guilty victim of his own actions who deserved punishment for his negligence. In this case‚ AIDS is seen as a crime against

The allegory reflects the idea of deception wherein cave prisoners learn and discover shadows of objects from the fire casted inside the cave‚ making them see and mislabel these images. Sontag argued that just like paintings and illustrations‚ photography gives us an incomplete representation to the world‚ which will likely to be falsely interpreted.

Sometimes‚ the void created by a lack of words leads to more discoveries than a plethora of words. The key to gaining further information from silence lies in listening to the unspoken statements versus the words actually put forth into the universe. Along these same lines‚ John Cage composed a well-known piece called 4’33”‚ which shocks many listeners due to his refrain from touching the piano in front of him.

And what of our human art? Must we not say that‚ in building‚ it produces an actual house‚ and in painting‚ it produces a house of a different sort‚ as it were a man-made dream for waking eyes?- Plato “A photograph is never interesting for its own sake‚ as art must be…‚” was the claim of conservative writer and philosopher Roger Scruton in his controversial 1989 paper ‘But is it art?’ Many responded strongly to Scruton’s claim that a photograph‚ unlike a painting‚ can never be representational

In this case‚ I agree with Sontag in the fact that we can’t learn about the world just from what the camera has captured‚ but disagree with her idea that photography is negative in the way that it allows for us to fill our minds and makes us feel. Sontag says that "photography implies that what we know about the world if we accept it as the camera records it. (LI‚ P1)"A photographer takes

Photography shows us the world‚ but only the world the photographer creates. According to Sontag‚ “photography implies that we know about the world if we accept it as the camera records it.” In other words the viewer only sees what’s within the frame.

Photography has accomplished the task of manipulation

It is a fact that no one is perfect‚ but in dance‚ the performance standards are always being raised (Sontag).
