If i told Him

  In class we read the poem If I Told Him A Complete Portrait of Picasso. When we read the poem in class it did not sound much like a poem because the way we all read it. Since each of us had to read a couple of lines we all read it at a different speed. It was a very unique and different type of poem then the once I have read in the past. This poem did not rime but it was very repetitive.  When we heard the actual person who wrote poem read it the poem sounded like it had rhythm. I could not clearly understand the meaning of the poem but maybe what the poem was about was how Picasso really was and what she tough of him as a person. It seems she wanted to let him know but she didn’t know how too.

summary of chapter two

    In chapter two of The Island of Dr.Moreau by H.G Wells Edward Prendick wakes up in a cabin and he seems confused about what was going on and how he ended up there. When he wakes up he notices there’s a young man with a mustache sitting next to him holding his wrist.  Right after he hears some strange noise and it sounded like an animal to him. The man then explains to Edward Prendick that he was founded in a boat starving and that he was lucky that he was found before he died. The man told him he was lucky” to get picked up by a boat with a medical man aboard” (4).Thanks to that man he was still alive. The man got Edward Prendick food and even some clothes to wear. The man asked Prendick how he ended up on the boat he told him he was a scientist and the other man told him how he had studied biology as well at a University College.  Prendick then asked were the boat was heading and the man told him that it was going to Hawaii but that before that it was going to drop him of in his island where he lives that had no name.

descripion

    The painting I choose was the Man with Yellow Pants by Michelangelo Pistoletto who was born in Italian 1933. The painting was done in 1964. The painting measures 200.3x100cm. In this painting there’s a man just as in the title he is wearing yellow pants. He has a dark blue suit and he seems to be leaning on something could be a wall, pole, house, building, etc. In this painting the artist made it seem as if the man with the yellow pants had his back towards us. He is wearing shoes I can’t tell if they are dark blue or black. You can see that the heel of his right foot. His right foot is lifted a bit of the ground while the other one is flat on the ground. He has his right leg crossed over his left leg. You are able to see half of his face and you can’t really see his neck because it is covered by the back of his suit. His right hand is on the side of his head and it looks as if his elbow was leaning against a wall. You can’t see his full left arm but it seems to me that his left arm is placed on his stomach or chest. You can see the small details in his pants like lines and even some shading. He looks as if he was staring at something from a very far distance and it seems that he is really focused on what he had his eye on. He could be looking at another person or maybe something that caught his attention. The painting was done on polished stainless steel which shows a reflection of anything that’s in the background which makes the man with the yellow pants seem as if he was standing on a wooden light brown floor. The painting was painted with pencils and oil paints. The rest of the background of the painting looks completely clear unless someone was standing there you could see their reflection in the painting.  The colors used for this painting were very dark colors.

a streetcar name desire outline

Thesis

In the play a Streetcar Named Desire, Tennesse Williams demonstrates through dialogue and stage directions the similarities and differences between both characters Stanly and Blanche.              

Similarities  

                                                                          

·         Both Stanly and Blanche seem to have an alcohol problem.

·         They both have a sexual desire.

·         They both drink uncontrollably throughout most of the play

·         Both Stanly and Blanche seem to be very judgmental people for example when Blanche said “Why, that you had to live in these conditions” (11). What this quote proves is how at the very begging of the play right after she had arrived at her sister’s house she was already judging and criticizing the conditions her sister was living in.

·         Stanly said “it looks to me like you’ve been swindled, baby, and when you get swindled under the Napoleonic, code I get swindled too. And I don’t like to be swindled” (22). What this quote proves how Stanly without getting to know Stella’s sister Blanche very well  he was already judging her

Differences 

·         When Stanly gets drunk he seems to have a very violent temper for example when Stanly got drunk during the poker game and ended up beating up Stella. Stanly takes after Stella, who retreats behind the door, men quickly, follow to pull him off” (40). This quote proves how poorly Stanly can handle alcohol and how aggressive he becomes when he’s drunk that he was even able to beat up his own wife even though she was expecting a child.

·         Blanche cannot control how much liquor she takes. for example when Mitch went to visit her Blanche  right away the first thing she had grabbed was a bottle of liquor. Mitch then tells her “you ought to lay of his liquor. He says you been lapping it up all summer like a wild cat.” (83) what this proves is how bad of a problem Blanche seems to have with alcohol that every time something comes up or she’s stressed out about something first thing she would grab is alcohol.
