Formal Analysis of Andy Warhol’s Birth of Venus Birth of Venus is a painting depicting the face of Venus, a mythological goddess. The piece was completed in 1984 by Andy Warhol as a recreation of the original version completed by Sandro Botticelli in 1482. The painting is presently viewed at the Arkansas Art Center. The piece was originally archived at Andy Warhol Museum in Pennsylvania, before being moved to the Arkansas art center. The painting was completed as a screen-print on Arches Aquarelle (cold pressed) paper, and can only be viewed by one side because it hangs on the museum wall.

Causes of Americans Revolution In 1763, the Royal Proclamation got declared by the British to conciliate the Native Americans after the end of the France and Indian war. The proclamation led to the establishment of new mainland colonies, namely; West Florida, Quebec, and East Florida, where the soldiers settled after winning the war, which lasted for seven years. However, the proclamation banned the colonists from moving in the west of the Appalachian Mountains resulting in conflicts as many colonists were not pleased with the treaty, including George Washington. Consequently, the French allied with the native tribes in the conflict due to the dissatisfaction from the British leadership. Eventually, the battles led to the declaration of independence of America. Thus, this paper discusses how the creation of proclamation led to the introduction of laws by the British to rule colonists causing revolution by Americans to achieve independence. In May 1763, a pan-tribal group headed by Ottawa chief Pontiac formed a rebellion against the British rule. The Native warriors attacked various British forts, whereby eight were captured. They also raided many frontier…

Short Story Reflection In this course, I have encountered several short stories. Some of them were amusing and enjoyable while others were less interesting. The story that I found very interesting is The Girls in Their Summer Dresses by Irwin Shaw. This paper explores why I was fascinated by this short story and the extent to which it has influenced my personal character. I found Irwin Shaw’s The Girls in their Summer Dresses interesting for various reasons.  To begin, I think that this short story uses characters that one resonates with. Michael and Frances plan to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Shaw, 1939). However, their plans are delayed when Frances catches Michael looking at women walking along the streets. Michael’s conduct raises a relatively serious conflict as Frances thinks that the behavior of her husband suggests that he is less interested in her and may end up cheating on her. On the contrary, Michael argues that he is very committed to his wife and is only entertaining his eyes by looking at other women (Shaw, 1939). Although Michael’s explanation…

    Gun control Research Gun control is a critical issue in the United States. Different people bear conflicting opinions and ideologies that influence this vital debate. For example, factors such as political orientation and its influence have been found to play a critical role in shaping individual perceptions of the concept. The question of if individuals should be allowed to bear and keep arms is often debated on various fronts and bases.  The legality of this concept is found in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Controlling access to guns is a vital issue that requires the evaluation of huge factors. Well-thought-out strategies must be implemented, such as more education and awareness creation on gun safety (“Gun Control – Pros & Cons,” 2020). For instance, one of the most critical loopholes in the system is the regulation of arms buying and selling. The issue, being a highly political debate, is very divisive.  It cuts across various filed such as work, school, and other crucial spheres of daily life. For example, gun possession in schools has been highlighted as a rising…

 The mental health of aboriginal people in Canada. Introduction The aboriginal peoples around the world have experienced marginalization, a rapid change in culture, and global economy absorption without regarding their autonomy (Kirmayer, Brass & Tait, 2000). In many communities, the discontinuity in culture has been linked to high rates of violence, alcoholism, and depression, with a significant impact on youth. The aboriginal people constitute 4 percent of the Canadian population, with 11 major language groups (Kirmayer, Brass & Tait, 2000). There is a substantial linguistic and cultural difference among many groups. There are also enormous differences in lifestyle, perspective, and values within the urban population of aboriginal people. Despite this diversity, most groups share common economic, social, and political predicaments. The shared common predicament has made people forge a collective identity among diverse groups. This paper seeks to explain in detail the peoples of Canada’s mental issues, which comprise the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis (Kirmayer, Brass & Tait, 2000). The paper explores the history of systematic suppression and dislocation and its range and level of the problems it causes…

Research proposal and Annotated Bibliography Research proposal My research paper will be contacted and analyzed in the following three locations, which include my room, neighbor’s house, and Roedde House Museum in Vancouver. I prefer using these locations because of the following reasons; My place is more preferred in this study because of the cool environment it offers to me. I think it is more reliable for me as I will have an easy time visualizing, thinking, and conceptualizing my ideas due to the little interruption it offers. I think using a neighbor’s house for this analysis will have a significant positive impact due to the implication that my neighbor’s house has got all facilities like one can get almost all services inside the same house. Since the house contains all computer services and products, for example, printing, laminating, computers for typing and editing, and many more others create a suitable environment for me to opt using it due to its excellent support to me. Roedde House Museum is one of the historical sites in Vancouver which has good sceneries. Since…
