his book is where irony first takes stage. If not for the rock‚ Ralston’s right arm would still be in place and his appreciation for life would remain unchanged. Surprisingly‚ Ralston has no bitter resentment toward the canyon where he spent 127 hours trapped between a wedged boulder and a canyon wall.

The Odyssey Visiting the Kingdom of the Dead And I saw Tantalus too‚ bearing endless torture. He stood erect in a pool as the water lapped his chin – parched he tried to drink‚ but he could not reach the surface‚ no‚ time and again the old man stooped‚ craving a sip‚ time and again the water vanished‚ swallowed down‚ laying bare the caked black earth at his feet – some spirit drank it dry.

The painting "The Runaway" by the famous artist Norman Rockwell shows a young runway boy having a conversation with a local constable at a diner. In my opinion the policeman is trying to talk some sense to the child‚ convincing him to go back home to his family.

The Babysitter Norman Rockwell’s painting‚ The Babysitter (1947)‚ has an eclectic feel. It embodies both a 1940’s style and a more modern twist. The subject matter is striking in comparison to the rest of the gallery that it is displayed in. The baby and young girl are quite different subjects than than the landscapes and numerous 1800’s portraits. The painting is almost cluttered‚ while many of the other paintings in the gallery are quite simple‚ really only focused on one or two specific pieces
