Through this sculpture, Goldsworthy presents a unique confrontation between the wilderness and the city – snowballs made in the Scottish winter brought to the city of London during the summertime. "Iris Blades" (1987) is an artwork made of iris blades pinned together with thorns, with five sections filled with rowan berries. This is a good example of how the transient nature of Goldsworthy’s works challenges the notion of the art object as permanent; the artwork was created on a lake surface, where Goldsworthy had to face competition from ducks and fish attempting to nibble the artwork. Goldsworthy simply rearranged the natural elements in subtle ways without the need for utensils, yet the effect was startling. The artwork also
In the 17th century, the village of Eyam, the villagers were crash into the deadly plague which the villagers had quickly responded in diverse ways. Geraldine Brooks’ who wrote the novel ‘Year of Wonders’ shows the description of the great courage by a helping girl, narrator and protagonist Anna Frith, Elinor Mompellion; a good friend of Anna and the rector’s wife, the rector Michael Mompellion, as they are in unambiguous contrast to not be afraid to respond to the other characters.

In Emily Dickinson's” The brain” we can see her point of how much the brain is truly capable of; also, in “the allegory of the cave”, it speaks of these chains holding the prisoners’ heads in place;one can infer from the reading that this is metaphorical and really, it is just the prisoners’ own thoughts and feelings holding them back. The fact that they are being ‘held back’ can show that the mind is a powerful thing, just like in “the brain” it is “ a sponge” as it soaks up knowledge and the power to do things. One can also see the representation of the brains power when emily states it as similar to God. Also, “The brain” is comparing the mind to the outside world just as “ The allegory of the cave” uses the mind and the
The first of the four agreements is to Be Impeccable With Your Word. What people choose to say and how they say it is one of the most rudimentary ways of expressing individual personality and character. What people express through words publicly will define how they are received by other individuals. This means that if someone is expressing themselves through false word (or lying), he or she is not only fabricating their character for those around them, but also for themselves as individuals. This is living a a fake existence, which inherently means that someone has rejected their own self image.
Candy calls her a "tart" and warns George against her, causing George, Lennie and the reader to see Curley's wife through Candy's eyes on their first encounter. When she finally appears for the first time, she certainly seems to live up to the image the reader expects from Candy's gossip. "She had full, rouged lips and wide spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red.... She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on the insteps of which were little bouquets of ostrich feathers." Red is known to represent love, lust and danger.

Stampler revealed at the end of the film that his real personality is that of Roy, and that he had made up his other personality of Aaron. In an effort to make Aaron appear as innocent as possible, Stampler adopted a stutter, and spoke very slowly and quietly. This was highly exaggerated in contrast to his actual persona of Roy, who was confident, violent, and remorseless. This is consistent with research done on malingering, which shows that malingerers will often exaggerate their presentation of symptoms (Ramsland, 2002). Furthermore, research on multiple personality disorder (MPD) (now known as dissociative identity disorder) showed that people attempting to feign MPD would often report having two stereotypical good versus bad personalities, while true sufferers of MPD normally report having “a tetrad of personalities” (Kluft, 1987, p.112).
