- 1191: Stanely Kubrick
- ... world that often drives the narrative of his films. Take for example one of Lynch's finest films The Elephant Man. Lynch begins with a character who in a sense is dehumanized, the horribly disfigured John Merrick, and centers a very beautiful and profound human story around him. In a sense, Lynch is working in the opposite direction of Kubrick who often begins his films with a human character (i.e. Barry Lyndon, Jack Torrance) but by films end has dehumanized them. In opposition to this, John Merrick is a character who throughout the film is trying to locate his self, his humanity, in a world that is disgusted and frightened by him. Take for example how Lynch details the episode when ... animalistic transformation after excessive use of violence), Kubrick shows characters who cannot escape their animalistic nature. Lynch on the other hand, makes a clear distinction between the "animal" and "human" side to society by placing John Merrick as a liminal figure between both worlds. His declaration "I am not an animal…I am a human being…I am a man," is thus seen as his departure from the "freak-show" ...

- ... the painter and of his time. This is what I hope to do, to feel and understand the mind of the painter Ingres when he painted Louis-Francois Bertin and Reynolds when he painted General John Burgoyne. In the portrait of Bertin, Ingres has captured on canvas a man who has never been pampered in his life. You feel by looking at him that this is a man who has worked ... commentary on this man’s turbulent life. “The knowledgeable world of London did not believe that the son born to Anna Maria Burgoyne on February 4, 1723, had been fathered by her husband, ex-Captain John Burgoyne, Sr.”(Mintz, 3). It was widely believed, actually, that a wealthy politician that had a baronage named Lord Bingley was actually the father. This information would have been known by Reynolds, in England at ... the gloom of his great house in Cavendish Square. For her sake he lent Captain Burgoyne, a compulsive gambler, a large sums and never demanded repayment. The day after the birth of her boy, named John, Bingley stood as godfather at the christening in nearby St. Margaret’s.

- 1193: Photographic Portraiture
- ... one of today's most talked photographers. David Baileys career was at a high between the years of 1957 and 1969 and was most famous for his striking black and white images of icons including John lennon and Paul McCartney; Mick Jagger, Jean Shrimpton and the Kray Twins. At this time Bailey was making a revolutionary progression to 35mm cameras at the beginning of the 60's. The SLR camera Bailey ... to each other in a non-defensive way; this is only possible because of the close relationships she has with her models. One of the best examples of her work is the last portrait of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. This represents the close relationship she was able to build with her models and also using the foetal position shows her use of the human body as a means of expression ... Liberace, actress Amanda Plummer, Clint Eastwood and Bruce Springsteen. And recently was the photographer requested to tour with mega group Oasis. In the example shown on the back of page six: the final portrait of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Anne has used a very soft, subtle lighting.

- 1195: Masaccio: The Holy Trinity
- ... It consists of two levels of unequal height. Christ is represented on the top half, in a coffered, barrel-vaulted chapel. On one side of him is the Virgin Mary, and on the other, St. John. Christ himself is supported by God the Father, and the Dove of the Holy Spirit rests on Christ's halo. In front of the pilasters that enframe the chapel kneel the donors (husband and wife ... positions of his fingers. Up to this point, no other artist has ever produced such an image of pain. The sharp, angular shapes of anguish appear in the figures of the swooning Virgin and St. John, and in the shrill delirium of the Magdalene. On the other side, John the Baptist, a gaunt form, points a finger at the body of the dead Christ. Even though death and suffering are dominant in the altarpiece, there are symbols of hope: The river behind St. ...

- 1197: Examination of Puritan Philosophy in Bradford's "On Plymouth Plantation"
- ... God was punishing him. According to Bradford, the sailor's cursing, and mistreatment of the other passengers displeased God, so God punished him accordingly. In the same chapter, Bradford tells of another ship passenger named John Howland. At one point in the trip, the Mayflower came upon a violent storm. The winds of the storm were so fierce, and the seas were so high, that all the sailors and passengers had to "hull for divers days together". During this storm, a young man named John Howland was thrown into the sea, and as Bradford tells us, "it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length". Howland caught hold of a ... he was hauled up. Bradford reasons that the man was saved because he was blessed by God. He goes on to say that he "became a profitable member in both church and state, implying that John Howland was one of the so called "Puritan Saints".

- 1199: The Yellow Wallpaper: What The Hell????
- ... the wallpaper. This might be the only thing in this story that made sense to me. The pattern with the woman seems to be related to the way she is being treated by her husband, John. John is very protective of her wife because she is in all reality a very sick woman. She feels trapped because of this and the way she sees the paper must be an indication. She stays ... and I saw G.I.Joe's crawling up and down my walls at night. I don't understand this woman behavior nor have I ever experienced anyone in real life who acted this way. John's wife is not an abused woman. She is actually well taken care of and loved by her husband, John. The author, Charlotte Gilman must have some point to get across. However the fact ...
