"The Peak of Hong Kong" is a digital photograph. It is taken at night, and as the title implies, the content is mainly the skyline of the city, Hong Kong. This is a realistic image of the actual skyline. The skyscrapers in the foreground make a curved shaped, an arc, a piece of a circle. The skyline looks like it could be a wall that keeps out intruders, invaders, or outsiders. The skyline of buildings additionally resembles a sort of hug that encloses the city, keeping it warm and safe.
Whether the buildings are a hug or a border, there are many of them and the...
The power and prestige of Hong Kong is glamorous and alluring, just as the skyline, yet at the same time, what makes HK such an international powerhouse stems from the many layers of power and protection of/in the city. The peaks of the skyscrapers of Hong Kong symbolize the city itself. The peaks that make up the skyline of HK speak to the peaks of achievement of the city and its people throughout its significant history.

"Tiempos Amargos" (Bitter Times), with its ironic lamentation on the passage of time, criticizes life under the exploitive Mexican president Porfirio Diaz: These are no longer the times of Porfirio (D'az), when they cried for the master when they'd meet him, they'd shake his hand, and button his pants. If one day the steward became angry with a worker it was because there was another one closer to the snaps of
Images of Nursing 1897 Pablo Picasso 1856 Jerry Barrett As we have noted, there are numerous images that are effective in establishing the image and role of nursing to the general public. Two prime examples are a surprisingly poetic "Science and Charity," an 1897 work by 17-year-old Pablo Picasso, and a work from 1856, "Florence Nightingale Receiving the Wounded at Scutari -- or The Mission of Mercy," by Jerry Barrett. "Science and Charity" is
Gender as Prison At first reading, Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale seem to have little to do with each other except for the very general fact that both novels have elements of social and political commentary in them. But, while the world's portrayed in these books are fundamentally different from each other, a closer reading suggests important intersections and congruences in the novels around the subject

Goya's intent was to make a clear, partisan point that would move the
