Vincent Van Gogh was born in 1853. He would grow to be one of the greatest artists of his era.
Van Gogh utilized a variety of colors on the spectrum, giving his paintings life. He often used the
art style of impressionists in that his paintings are depicted as he sees fit, and not how they are
naturally viewed (Cliff). His paintings consisted of complex brush strokes that would vary in the
amounts of paint used. He used colors in order to push emotion onto the audience through
contrasting colors and his works often reflected his own mood and surroundings. Van Gogh
continued to use impressionism until he mastered the use of color techniques and expressing
emotion in order to bring life to his paintings, as shown in The Sower and The Night...show more

There is a waiter next to the billiard table dressed in tan clothing. There are three walls lined with
seating arrangements. There is a bar with a variety bottles with a flower vase centered near the
curtained walkway. The walls are a very rich red. The lights project yellow rays of light that
illuminate the room and cast a shadow onto the billiards table. The clock in the back of the room
lets the viewers know that it is past midnight; therefore it is assumed that it is a rough crowd. The
technique used in The Night CafГ© is unlike any Impressionist artwork of its time. Van Gogh used
arbitrary to present his own emotions throughout the painting. Both the walls and ceiling consist of
rich reds and greens that contrast in a violent nature. The light fixtures

RenГ© Descartes Discourse
RenГ© Descartes uses Discourse on Method to explain his view that god exists and that human
nature consists of the body and soul, which both interact but can exist without one another. He
believed that the body occupies space but has no mental properties. RenГ© believed that it was in
fact the soul or mind that does the thinking or sleeping. Using animals as an example, he highlights
in the text how humans unlike animals possess a soul. In the text, RenГ© originally viewed things
to be beyond what they appeared to be, questioning everything. He eventually comes to the
conclusion that in order for him to think, question, or doubt he must in fact exist. This idea creates
the quote, "I am thinking, therefore I exist" Our spirits even come into question and how strong
they must be to control the body with waking up or sleeping. He even uses an example of a head
still moving while being detached from the body saying, "... as when we see a severed heads

The body, according to Aristotle, is the best machine which was made by god. Therefore, it is
better than any machine that can be created by man. If the machines by man could made by man
could have the organs of an animal you could tell no difference but you would be able to do so
with humans. This is due to our ability to speak and relay our thoughts. Other actions would also
prove the difference as machine would eventually fail even if they completed tasks better than man.
You see that animal is considered to be inferior to man. This point can be found in the text saying, "
On the other hand, men are born deaf and dumb, and thus deprived of speech–organs as much as
they beasts or even more so, normally invent their own signs to make themselves understood by
those who, being regularly in their own company, have the time to learn their language. This shows
not merely that the beasts have less reason than men, but that they have no reason at

Living On The Frontier Narrative
In the 1840s on June 25th my 9th birthday my family is packing up to move to the Michigan
frontier. On our way there we saw seagles, deers, wolves, bats, owls, eagles, and trees. It took 26
days to get there, because we came from New York. The government said if we live here at this
piece of land for several years we could own the land for free. As soon as we found the land we built
a house so we would not freeze to death during the cold snowy winter. This will be our first
Christmas away from our family living on the frontier. Me and my dad have been hunting racoons
so we can give our family each one their own coon skin hat. My sister is making us all warm winter
outfits out of fox skin. Our normal day we get up when the sun rises

Turner Frontier Thesis
One of the most famous arguments made in the world of environmental history was sparked by
Frederick Jackson Turner in his essay, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History". In
his essay that came to be known as the Frontier/ Turner Thesis, he claimed that modern American
culture and innovations had been developed by the growth of America into the western frontier. The
migration of Americans to the western frontier originated through their desire for adventure as well
as fertile and cheap land that was open for the taking. The frontier promised possibilities of
expanding new markets in an unclaimed portion of the country. There are, however, several critics
of the thesis, such as George Pierson, who disagree with Turner as to the...show more content...
According to Turner, through America's conquest of the frontier, the cultural traits of Americans
could be credited to the directly to the land and "that coarseness and strength combined with
acuteness and acquisitiveness; that practical inventive turn of mind, quick to find expedients; that
masterful grasp of material things... that restless, nervous energy; that dominant
individualism"(Turner 34). While on the other side of the argument, Pierson believed that traits of
modern Americans such as democracy and individualism had already existed in other parts of the
world, and the frontier itself had not created whole new theories and ways of

Mark Twain And Thurber Comparison Essay
Anisha Reynolds

ELA 10 14 November 2017
Comparison of Twain and Thurber Mark Twain and James Thurber portray conflict in their
humorous writing using literary devices. This enhances their stories and makes them enjoyable to
read. Mark Twain in "A Toast to the Oldest Inhabitant: The Weather of New England" and James
Thurber in "The Dog that Bit People" use hyperbole, understatement, and precise diction to
portray the conflict that develops their humorous writing. Thurber and Twain use hyperboles to
convey conflict. For example, when Uncle Horatio visits, he says, "He said he wasn't afraid of
any dog that ever lived and that he would put the dog's plate on the floor if we would give it to
him," (261). This shows how he is exaggerating, because it is impossible to not be afraid of every
dog that comes your way. This also shows that the dog is frightening to everyone but the owner. An
example from Twain's writing says,
"... Probable nor'–east to sou'–west winds, varying to the southard and westard and eastard and
points between; high and low...show more content...
In Thurber's work, when Muggs dies, it says, "On the board I wrote with an indelible pencil 'Cave
Canem'," (262). This shows Thurber's use of precise diction to show satire. Thurber uses latin to
show humorous writing because "Cave Canem" means Beware of the Dog. For example, in "A
Toast to the Oldest Inhabitant: The Weather of New England," Mark Twain states, "I like to hear
rain on a tin roof, so I covered part of my roof with tin, with an eye to that luxury. Well, sir, do you
think it ever rains on the tin? No, sir; skips it every time," (255). This shows Twain's use of precise
diction when he uses the words "skips it every time," because the rain can't skip something every
time. This also shows how his use of precise diction helps him create fantastic hyperboles that stir
one's imagination. Twain and Thurber's use of precise diction helps depict

Mark Twain: Quote Analysis
"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure" (Twain). This
quote is from Mark Twain. He is a very famous author who has written such classics as The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain's real name is
Samuel Clemens, and was known to have experienced different many things in his lifetime. He has
worked as a miner, printer, river pilot, and more (www.cmgww.com). This tells us that he must have
known many things, and possibly how he came up with this quote. To me, this quote means that as
long as you do what you want and follow your dreams, they will come true. I can somewhat relate
to this because I am both cautious and careful at some things I do, and lazy and uncaring about
others. So far, I have gotten some sort of success from how I behave, but sometimes it doesn't work
out and I regret it. This most likely relates to Mark Twain himself because of what he has done in
his life, and the fact that this is his quote....show more content...
I try not to act out for the fear that I might embarrass myself because I don't handle it well. This

me because it sometimes prevents me from telling being things that are somewhat important. These
things sometimes include school things such as grades, and I sometimes don't tell my parents
because I think I will get in trouble, but they find out anyway and I end up getting in more trouble

On Keeping A Notebook By Joan Didion
The author of novels, short stories, screenplays, and essays, Joan Didion (b. 1934) began her
career in 1956 as a staff writer at Vogue magazine in New York. In 1963 she published her first

Personal experience in Writing There are many sources for a writer to use, when it comes to using
other evidence to back up a statement. Often, as a student, I would use evidence from literatures as
a source, and this is the most formal and effective way to express one's opinion. Because by using
someone else's work, I could build a connection with the reader, and let the reader believe there are
other people who have the same belief as I do. There are different kind of sources that writers can
choose from to support their opinions, such as literatures, websites, and studies. But there a
special kind of resources: personal experience that is greatly used in writing. Although they are
people who believe personal experiences may have some expectations and should not be
considered as the public opinion, I still believe personal experience can be greatly used in writing,
and supporting one's statement. And the reasons will be stated in below. First of all, a personal
experience could make the readers feel more connected to the topic that the author is writing about.
If the author has experienced of something like this, it is likely for the readers to feel the same way.
By opening up the author's own experience, the readers will not only feel more connected to the
story, but also understand the author a little more. For example in the article "Have Smartphones
Destroyed a Generation" by Jean Twenge. The author gives a numbers of reference of statistics that
he found on websites, but they are just numbers, the reader still feel they are irrelevant to the story. It
is the moment as the author starts to talk
about his interactions with his friends and relatives, me as a reader feel a sense of connection to
the story for the first time. Instead of just numbers and statics on the paper, I could see real life
examples, and apply these examples into my own life. second, by using personal experience as a
style of writing, the author could let the readers have a more realistic experience. The readers will
not only read what is going on at that time, but also feel what the character is feeling at certain
moment, and actually be a part of that story. For example, in the Canterbury tale by Geoffrey Chaucer
, the

The Lowest Animal Satire Essay
Mark Twain, America's greatest Humorist, shows his skills in satire in "The Lowest Animal."
Satire is made of many elements which require mastery for the satire to be truly effective. Twain is
renowned as a satirist because of his greatness with humor and sarcasm, but he is very well–rounded
and is talented in all elements of satire. Twain used satire to educate and entertain the populace with
stories that made people rethink the traditional values of life during his lifetime. He sought to
change many social values he saw as wrong by using words to cause the society to change itself.
The fact that Twain was able to do this was due to his great effectiveness as a satirist. In "The Lowest
Animal," Twain's effectiveness as a satirist stems from his talented use of intriguing incongruity,
absolute absurdity, scathing sarcasm, and...show more content...
Sarcasm grabs a reader's attention by ridiculing a certain group, individual, or ideal. Twain uses
sarcasm in one of the final paragraphs of "The Lowest Animal" when talking of the outcomes of
putting different animals into a cage together and putting different people into a cage together.
Twains says that in the cage with the different animals, the inhabitants are peaceful, when he
checks again; but in the cage of the different people, the people have a disagreement on theology
and kill each other, brutally: "When I came back to note results, the cage of Higher Animals was
all right, but in the other there was but a chaos of gory odds and ends of turbans and fezzes and
plaids and bones and flesh, not a specimen left alive. These Reasoning Animals had disagreed on a
theological detail and carried the matter to a Higher Court" (Twain 378). This sarcasm brings
"peaceful" religions into question as to whether they are truly peaceful or just a way of separating
people. Sarcasm is a very powerful element of satire as it brings to light the downside of ideals by
mocking

The Most Famous And Richest Men Essay
Schlosser explains about one of the most famous and richest men, J.R. Simplot, who was born in
1909 in Idaho and grew up farming, helping and working with his family. He dropped out of high
school at the age of fifteen and decided to leave home. When he left home, he soon found work in
a potato house. He then became a potato farmer who worked for Lindsay Maggart who was the
landlord and was quite good at what he does. He was buying and selling potatoes and he even
became one of the leading transporters of potatoes in the West. He was selling potatoes from left
to right. Simplot even bought a machine, "an electric potato sorter." The machine was purchased
by him and Maggart. When they decide to part ways in their business, hey flipped a coin to see
who would have to keep it and it was him. Luck was definitely on his side. Simplot was making a
lot of selling potatoes and during the World War II; he sold dried onions and dried potatoes to the
American military during the time. Simplot who a smart man, who even started to invest in
freezing food and began selling frozen fries to the company McDonalds. Since the taste was similar
to the fresh cut fries in stores and also cheaper. McDonald's very own Ray Kroc was amazed by it.
Nowadays French fries are very popular. Today there are three potato companies Simplot, Lamb
Weston, and McCain that controls about 80% of the American Frozen French fries. Even though
there are much smaller independent potato growers, they have a harder

The American Old West: Myth Versus Reality
Ray Miss Dae Selcer ELA III 22 December, 2011 The American Old West: Myth versus Reality
Western, a genre of short stories that are set in the American west, primarily in the late of the
19th century ("Western" 598), and still being told until today by films, televisions, radio, and
other art works. The major of moving to the west was because of the Homestead Act, 1862 ("U.S.
Statues at Large" 392) which would give lands to people who stayed there for five years. This lead
to a huge wave of immigrants moved to the West, and they had to face to many hardships and
conflicts such as Indian attacks, tornadoes, blizzards, and illnesses. Yet the portrayal of westerns is

The largest concentration of blacks in the state was in Sacramento County, mainly because of the
gold rush (12). Blacks would ride trade ships to the west coast and then desert, if they were slaves, or
leave the ship, if they were free men, to settle there (12). Another example of a corrupt black
cowboy was Cranford Goldsby. Known as Cherokee Bill, he was the black counterpart to Billy the
Kid. He was born Cranford Goldsby into a law abiding family; his father was a Buffalo soldier in the
West (Katz 155). One of the most famous cowgirls was Belle Starr, she was called the 'Bandit
Queen'–a lovely lady who ruled outlaw gangs with her guns, her will and her personal favors. She
has been credited with stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, cleaning out crooked poker
games with her six–shooters, and galloping down city streets with pistols blazing (Arnott). These
evidences tell us that there were really some famous black cowboys and cowgirls in the real West
but they weren't romanticized in western arts as much as the white cowboys. Comparing to the
book Shane, homesteaders and ranchers were taking the lands of Native Americans, so there
definitely was a conflict between these people. However, Schaefer never mentioned about Native,
African, or Asian Americans in the book. It can be seen as a case of discrimination. HOW WAS

Emerson's Metaphors
Ralph Waldo Emerson can go by many titles: scholar, philosopher, wordsmith. All hold true in one
of his greatest pieces, Self–Reliance. In which, he uses his words to spread an idea of individuality
in thought and how essential it truly is. Scattered throughout the massage are examples of
metaphors, comparing his vast and complex ideologies to comprehendible and mundane objects, he
uses allusions as well, bringing to light not only Biblical themes, but also men of old more times
than often seen as great and influential and referring time and time again to the Bible. In doing these
things, Emerson conveys his ideas, swaying and bending the words to his will. A first arguably more
evident example of this would be found in his metaphors. In this writing, Emerson's meaningful
metaphors proclaim the sheer importance of individuality and how much it is longed for, saying that
"every heart vibrates...show more content...
Emerson compares the individual, the original mind to the minds of Moses, Plato, and Milton in
his first paragraph. He describes them as not speaking the thoughts of men, but the thoughts of
themselves. This is to show if these men can be viewed in such a light for as task such as speaking
with their own individuality, then all men can be great and do the same. Not only did Emerson
bring up great men, he also talked about the Bible and connected his ideas to God. In the first
paragraph, Emerson speaks not only of Moses, but also the trumpets of the Last Judgement. In
doing so, he describes how fear holds us back from being an individual, having individual thoughts.
Somewhat contradicting to himself, in the second paragraph he says "God will not have his work
manifest by cowards", meaning that men need to be original and not live in fear of judgement for
their individuality, despite God having been responsible for the trumpets of the Last

American Frontier Spirit
American Frontier Spirit The frontier is concept in the American mind which basically describe
the discoveries of new place and opportunities (Richoux, 2012: 1). Frontier itself mean a line that
separating two different place. Ray Allen Billington (1889, in Richoux, 2012: 2), defined border
as part of a state or country that forms the border of the settled and the inhabited areas. While
Kjellberg (2013: 11) defined that frontier spirit comes from subjugation on the Native Americans
who originally reside in America and the take over the region there previously by the settlers. The
main concept of this spirit is the idea to moving or civilize and subjugate a new place for the
prosperity of the nation. However, Turner (1893: 2) explain that the

Samuel Langhorne Clemens better known by the name Mark Twain, was an American writer,
humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, and served
an apprenticeship with a printer and then worked as a typesetter, contributing articles to the
newspaper of his older brother Orion Clemens. He became nothing less than a national treasure. He
captured a world audience with stories of boyhood adventure and with commentary on man's faults
that is humorous even while it probes the roots of human behavior. One of his most famous essays (
satire) that I will analyze is, "A Presidential Candidate", which was written on June 9th, 1879, in
which he evokes a sarcastic tone to mock presidential candidates by using syntax, diction, irony, and
examples from his own past.
In his work, he embodies the characteristic of honesty, which is uncommon among candidates. His
main purpose was to categorize politicians as inhumane people. He believes they are untruthful,
cowardly individuals because they disguise themselves and attempt to hide their guilt. He begins
the essay by saying he has made up his mind about running for President. But unlike the others, he
is going to, "...own up in advance to all the wickedness I have done, and if any Congressional
committee is disposed to prowl around my biography in the hope of discovering any dark and
deadly deed that I have secreted, why–let it prowl" (para.1). He sought to dive into the election as an

Autobiography"п»їп»їп»їп»їп»їп»їп»їп»їп»ї, are easily aligned with this work as it continuously

For example, in fiction writing, as long as the details are organically placed–– the story will not seem
to have a large of amount of non–truths–– at the same time, the smaller truths will continue to tell a
bigger story. According to Murray, fiction is called a "liar's profession". The readers are not
always equipped with the knowledge of how a writer must construct their work, in that adding
influencing details in order to draw a vivid image of certain environments, surroundings, or to
capture the emotional state of the writer, character and so on. Murray illuminates this objective to
his audience and highlight the writers ability to tell a story, and create a dialog around any piece
written, and experiences have to be a part of this dynamic based off of an individuals' past
experiences. At the same time, the writer is creating their own legacy, history, and different
moments of realization and how to it is done. As an inspiring fiction novelist, I write stories
"loosely based" of what I have experienced in certain moments of my life, and the most of it is
brought forward through my experiences in the earlier years of my life. In essence, it is important
that a person captures their own experiences, because out of every individual experience both bring
forth vivid stories and voices to those moments in life left to be

Analysis Of The War Prayer By Mark Twain
Mark Twain is known as the one of the most influential and prolific writers of our time. Many
literary greats who followed him such as William Faulkner declared him the father of American
Literature and the most celebrated humorist and realist of all. Twain used his life experiences
growing up as a child along with his experiences as a river boat captain in Missouri to help shape his
writings. His uncanny ability to use language of the common man in specific regions of the country,
connected readers honestly with his characters. The War Prayerpublished in 1905, was a particularly
sobering and controversial piece which offered a scathing indictment of war in general, but quite
likely the Philippine–American War specifically. Twain was also known for his satirical writings
relative to race and culture, but it is the "War Prayer" that is one of the more powerful pieces that
represents Twain's fervid anti–war position. Samuel Clemens propensity to draw on his own
experiences started early in writing when he adopted the name Mark Twain presumably to connect
back one of his most positive first experiences in life when he was a riverboat captain; "mark
twain" of course signifying a safe depth for riverboat operation on the river. Twain was well
traveled and encountered diverse and unique people in various parts of the country. He was also
exposed to many of the issues that were facing society at the time. America was being transformed
and a lot of this change came

the scientific community lost interest quickly. Due to the discovery of quantum chromodynamics,
John. H Schwarz and Joel Scherk where able to study boson (elementary particle) patterns and found

Springfield Massachusetts: A Western Frontier
As other European countries conquered and laid claim to the New World of the Caribbean and West
Indies in the late sixteenth century, they brought along the practice of slavery. Eventually, slavery
expanded to the north, to colonial America. Like Boston and Roxbury, Springfield Massachusetts
became to be known as the most Western settled frontier in the early 1600's and a city of many
firsts. Such firsts include the exploration of the Western front by the likes of William Pynchon to
expand the economic resources of the Massachusetts Bay Colony plantation.
The city of Springfield and its establishment was indeed a city on the hill, where three rivers met
causing the perfect location for a new established plantation. After the brutal war between

The American West And American History Essay
The American West is one of the most famous and important part of the American history. The
American West or another name the American Frontier started off in the late–1700 and ended in
mid–1940. Although that part of history ended, but the influence and the old west culture is still
around today. So let get into the history of the American West, of what made the West what it is
and how all the forces molded the West. There are many factors that made the West, from
government, politics, wars, climate and geography. So why are all these factors matter, because
when the people wanted to expand their settlements they have to deal with the consequences that
they have to risk. Each part of this paper will give you history of each individual era from the

of the industrial America Many think that the American West is all about cowboys and Indians, but
it's really not. The American West started when the settlers moved to the west of the Appalachian
Mountains in 1730 and began to explore the new world. One of the first people to move to the West
in search new settlement is the legendary frontiersmen which who are mainly scots–Irish. Like,
