METROPOLOTIAN MUSUEM OF ART Fatima Lundy I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my mom and my sister. I didn’t quite enjoy it at first‚ but as I explored the museum more‚ I began to feel enlighten at the sight of the different forms of art. It was hard for me to choose just two pieces out of all the amazing sculptures and paintings in this museum. I finally made the decision to write about two different pieces‚ from two different cultures‚ time periods‚ and even mediums. The first piece

But at the same time‚ children follow distinct patterns based on where they are in their family ’s birth order.
