Frank Lloyd Wright’s Impact on Modern Architecture Ever since I was told when I was a young little league baseball player that my great-great uncle was one of the architects that worked on the Houston Astrodome‚ I have taken a liking to architecture and building designs. Growing up I visited Montreal and marveled at Olympic Stadium and the majestic buildings of Old Montreal. I remember trips to Chicago and was left breathless at the view of the Chicago city-scape high atop the Sears Tower‚ which

Solomon Northup’s acclaimed novel‚ Twelve Years a Slave‚ is the story of the author’s journey through horror as he was abducted from his happy‚ free life and enslaved unlawfully. In simple terms‚ it is a diary‚ directly from the lips of Northup as he describes vividly the atrocities and life he faced‚ leaving very little room for intentional literary devices such as symbolism. Symbolism is a thing commonly found in fiction‚ hidden inside the text and meant to be found by close readers‚ looking to

In his preface‚ Oscar Wild dare to say that art is quite useless. "What do you mean art is useless?" was the first thing that came in my mind‚ "but art has so much meaning: it elevates our awareness of things‚ questions everything‚ contextualizes and re-contextualizes ideas‚ sharpens our appreciation for beauty‚ thought‚ and skill‚ it can define cultures‚ and is able to capture the essence and spirit of the time in which it’s made". It doesn’t have only meaning but it is useful too. It is useful

It reads “the fathers may soar/And the children may know their names”.

Upon cross-examination and comparison‚ Le Corbusier ’s Villa Savoye and Frank Lloyd Wright ’s Guggenheim Museum have many similar attributes to them.

Song of Solomon There are many symbolic meanings in the Song of Solomon. In the novel‚ the white peacock is a representation of Milkman’s journey to flight/freedom. The act of flying shows what the motives of the characters are and those who truly understand have the gift. The watermark on the table is a terrible reminder of Ruth’s past that she can’t forget. The velvet roses in the novel represent how plain Lena and Corinthians’ lives really are. Throughout the book "Song of Solomon"‚ the imagery
