Self-portraits have been a method of self exploration used by many artists since before the invention of the mirror. An artist uses self-portraits to transcend the barrier of time and be immortalized in history. Norman Rockwell, one of the greatest American painter and illustrator, created a famous piece called Triple Self-Portrait, which can be interpreted as timeless; an attempt of the creator to be eternal. Norman Rockwell was born in New York City in 1894. Since a little kid he knew that he wanted to be an artist, so he left high school to attend the Arts Student League, where he learned the technical skills on which he applied all through his career.

"In America I will have a daughter just like me. But over there nobody will say her worth is measured by the loudness of her husband's belch. Over there nobody will look down on her, because I will make her speak only perfect American English" (3). This is extremely different from the older generation because when they were kids they were very independent and could not rely on their parents for help and support. A huge difference between the two generations is how outspoken they are.
Sickle cell Anemia is a genetic disorder also inherited by both parents. 1 of 600 is born with Sickle Cell Anemia (Braithwaite, Taylor 193).

Erikson’s mother never saw the father again, and little is known about him. Following his birth, Abrahamsen moved to Karlsruhe and married Theodore Homburger, a Jewish pediatrician, in 1905. During his childhood, Erikson was known as Eric Homburger and his actual birth was kept a secret. Erikson was confused about his name growing up and the kids teased him in school for being a Nordic. The development of identity is not only a focal point in Erikson’s theory, but in his childhood as well.
In May of 2007, I experienced my first revelation about being deaf, and how both the hearing and deaf world perceived and accepted me. For years I walked balanced on a very thin line in between both societies. The deaf did not accept me into their world because I could hear and speak. In the hearing world I was treated as a pariah because my life has been greatly influenced by the deaf culture, and I use sign language fluently as my second language. Being a person who has the ability to find a middle line in between the chaos of both worlds, I became familiar with suspicion, ignorance, and anger.
American inventor Thomas Edison has been described as more responsible than anyone else for creating the modern world. In his research laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, he invented the phonograph, made the electric light bulb, and started the motion picture industry. However, his success had nothing to do with his schooling. In fact, the young Edison attended school for just three months—when his inattention and constant questioning caused his teacher to say he was slow, his mother removed him from the school. Nancy Edison taught her son at home, encouraging
