Faber’s Knowledge Books are something everyone takes advantage of, nobody knows how important they are until they’re gone. In Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 Montag goes to Faber to seek advice about the books. He finds out Faber’s beliefs in book’s purpose, quality, and the leisure of people. Faber also believes that fear of the truth in books drove people away, and now without the books there is only chaos. When Faber told Montag what the purpose of books were, he spoke, “Books are a receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget,” so without them everything would slowly be forgotten (83).
Anybody coming to the Santa Barbara area for the first time needs to see that. They didn’t really say what was going to happen to the mural, but what ever happens, they need to save that mural, or just have huge colored pictures in a museum. They should make a book out about the mural to gives people quick facts about Santa Barbara, an make some money off the tourist. Its just a thought its is sad to say that the mural will no longer be there. I didn’t even know about that mural an now I know about it, am upset because I am a Chumash Native American an I wanted to show my children that mural one of these day.
Krystal Marceau, Cheryl Hunter Ethics PI242 ZZ, Final essay. When reading this case study, I thought to myself on how many male teaches I have had over the years that have had facial hair, and I lost track when I could not count on my fingers and toes anymore. I feel it is not right to discriminate against someone for how they look. People are different in many ways and many people like to express themselves with how they look or dress. I can see if someone is not hired for employment if they have exposed tattoos, and or piercing, or colored hair, but facial hair is a little extreme and not hiring someone for that reason is completely unethical, and immoral.
Because the “colored” were not like the rest, the people were prejudice and immediately thought that they were mischievous and would disregard their presence. That situation, however, had an eminent connection to prejudice in the 1950’s. However, Mr. Johnson’s love of art began when creating art in private, yet, when seen by others he was encouraged to show the people of Pleasantville. His passion pushed him to paint on his windows for the whole town to see, despite the fact that art and colors were frowned upon by others. Mr. Johnson’s passion for art drove him to explore other kinds of art, art with new shapes and colors.
As the years passed by the drawings turned into paintings and paintings turned into photos giving people more opportunities to show how the reality around them really looked like. Photography took a big part in creating history. At the beginning people mostly used it for family portraits and photographing the beauty of the landscape but it became more important as they started documenting disasters and tragedies. Thanks to it, people who had no idea about what was going on somewhere else in the world, could see with their own eyes how the civil rights would be broken and people would suffer. Events such an Apartheid in South Africa would stay unknown.
Nevertheless, his overnight popularity leads the audience to question his ability as an artist and the authority within the art world. Through comparison of Mister Brainwash and Banksy, Mr. Brainwash cannot be considered a legitimate artist due to his lack of personal innovation and deep connection to his artwork. This ultimately suggests that the art world has failed to maintain the original meaning of art. While Banksy’s art is his own style, Mister Brainwash’s (M.B.W) art is a mixture of various ideas from other artists. In the scene in which M.B.W prepares for his very first exhibition he is found to be a fraud.
In order to progress the arts, the government must continue giving grants to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Artists dedicate much time and effort to perfecting their artwork. Their work should be acknowledged and funded instead of ignored due to the content portrayed in their artwork. According to source D, “the chairman of the NEA, saying he needed to ‘reflect’ on the controversy created by his cancellation of a grant for aids art show here implied Wednesday that the federal arts agency may reconsider the position.” The government cancelled grants because of the controversial topic of aids being displayed in an art show. Due to the biased position of the government favoring “suitable” genres of art, limits are placed on the creativity of artwork.
Nevertheless, this is not the most mysterious fact of Hatshepsut’s biography. What is more striking is that there is little evidence of her existence. Obviously, her relationship with Thutmose III was not quite peaceful, for when he became a king, he chiseled her images off the temples’ walls and monuments. When a distinguished archeologist Howard Carter found one of her tombs in 1903, her body was not there. The mystery had almost been solved in 2005 by Zahi Hawaas and his team who took a closer look at a mummy found a century ago which was named KV6oa.
Many believe art is created as a means for discussion, but Pérez-Reverte illustrates the self-serving aspect of the artistic community as well. As previously mentioned, none of Faulques’ painting is meant for any other viewer other than the Painter of Battles himself. Pérez-Reverte uses this device to portray the self-centered nature an artist can have and the pitfalls such an attitude brings to the table. If Faulques continued the way he had been painting since he started, it is likely his goal would be further from his reach than ever. Despite the fact that his true intent would never be seen if he displayed it for the public, Faulques’ painting would flourish beyond its inception with each idea a viewer births upon seeing it.
Dillard says that the work replaces the memories and you are going to lose those memories (292). “You can’t put together a memoir without cannibalizing your own life for parts” (292). Taking parts of your memory out and putting new things on it is the same as cannibalizing, is a barbaric action, inhuman. Those parts that you took off may be very important to you, it can be your motive to get up every morning, it may not be important to the reader and that’s the reason writers use their creative skill to change their memories. Dillard starts the text by writing her own memoir.
