Her paintings are filled with light and joy, giving a false impression of a strong minded and somewhat difficult woman. She was always at her best when with other artists whom she considered her intellectual equals. Her paintings often portrayed mothers and children in intimate relationships and domestic settings. Her portraits were never commissioned , so she used her family as subjects in many of her paintings. Cassatt would send paintings back to the United States to be exhibited and her works were some of the first impressionists paintings seen in the US.
She lived instinctively, photographed spontaneously, and triggered emotions of many during not only the hardships of America, but everywhere. (Gordon 704). She has captured the feelings of families, children, and elders, and exposed them, showing to the public and the government that they needed help. Lange did not alter, nor pose her subjects, in fact didn’t even use the flash on her camera because it altered her subjects. After Lange passed away, her husband donated her collection of over 25,000 negatives to the Oakland Museum of California, which holds her largest, most comprehensive exhibit in the world.

Characterization and simile are two literary techniques that help aid comparing and contrasting the two people. In the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, all the patients in the ward fear Nurse Ratchet. Nurse Ratchet is a very prim woman, she is never seen out of character. “ The nurse tends to get real put out if something keeps her outfit from running smooth, accurate, and a precision-made machine…. What she dreams of there in the center of those wires is a world of precision efficiency and tidiness like a pocket watch with a glass back, a place where the schedule is unbreakable.” (Kesey 28,29) Through this quote you can tell the preciseness that Nurse has, she is not a lax person she is very stringent when it comes to the rules she has in the ward.
Dorothea Lange wrote a book called “Daring to Look: Dorothea Lange's Photographs and Reports from the Field.” Lange died of esophageal cancer but she had other problems before she died.

When Melissa Cooper-Prince’s eleven-year marriage suddenly ended last year, she was disillusioned, angry, and heartbroken. “I felt blindsided. I needed an emotional outlet,” so the Rockford mother began painting while her children, Hannah, 9, and Cooper, 4, were visiting their father. At first she created small, simple watercolors, but as she became more immersed in the cathartic process, she ventured into other media—as well as more technically, and emotionally, challenging compositions. Having taken only three Art and Design courses at Hope College many years ago, Cooper-Prince had limited experience as an artist, but she realized that “it was a form of therapy” as she would become lost in her art for hours and hours reflecting on her life with and without her husband.
She is considered a renowned folk artist, best known for her vibrant visionary drawings. As I looked over her drawings, all done with a mixture of crayons and pencil on paper, I was confounded at how the childlike drawings would be given such accolade. It made me wonder, the consideration entailed that determined these drawings value. I looked over them and thought, wow my daughter draws better then this person and yet I doubt they’d display her artwork at a museum. While I realize her work spoke directly of her time and life experience, which in itself is compelling, I found her work extremely rudimentary and juvenile.

Monique states, “You know, Alexis, this is what keeps me alive – the power of words. Words live forever they point out the right direction and express feelings simply without removing what complexity exists in them. The words you were never able to find explain your suffering – the absence of those words prevented us from growing together” (14) this quote clearly illustrates the struggle between Monique and her partner Alexis. Due to the absence of Monique’s father and mother, Monique grew as a very lonely child.
