To create his art, Long walks hundreds of miles for days and weeks at a time, often through uncultivated areas, from the countryside of England, Ireland, and Scotland, to the mountains of Nepal and Japan, and the plains of Africa, Mexico, and Bolivia (Spector pp).
Long documents his journeys with photographs, maps and lists of descriptive terms which are exhibited as individual works (Spector pp). Unlike other artists who manipulate the landscape to create Earthworks, Long does not alter the terrain by digging or constructing, he simply adjusts the placement of rocks and wood to subtly demarcate geometric shapes (Spector pp).
Long's 1980 "Red Slate Circle," is 336 inches in diameter and consists of 474 stones from a New York quarry, and when it is installed in the Guggeheim's rotunda, "the monumental ring echoes the building's unique spiral while conjuring images of vast canyons, still lakes, and stone pathways leading into the distance" (Spector pp).
Long's 1987 "Vermont Georgia South Carolina Wyoming Circle," 291 inches in diameter, consists of white, red, grey, and green stones (Vermont pp). He uses color as an interval stop (Hackett pp). "Slate Atlantic," 2002, is 10 X 5 meters,...
His 2005, "Untitled (1): 8 Fingerprints on Black," is 31/2 inches high and 10 inches in diameter, and consists of eight fingerprints from the River Avon mud on a tree trunk (New pp). "Tame Buzzard Line," 2001, is a 75 X 3515 cms. Line made from flint across a green pasture with a single tree at the end of the sculpture (New pp).

Richard Hughes: A High Wind in Jamaica This story, the first novel by Richard Hughes, takes place in the 19th Century, and mixes the diverse subjects of humor, irony, satire, pirates, sexuality and children into a very interesting tale, with many sidebar stories tucked into the main theme. The first part of the story has an eerily familiar ring and meteorological link with the December, 2004 tsunami-related disaster in Asia. In A

They want to be king so badly that they can justify any action that helps them achieve their goal. These actions include murder. Both men become villains in different ways - Richard seems to have been born villainous and Macbeth seems to prove that villains are not born but made from outside influences. Shakespeare proves both assertions valid when we see Macbeth reach the same level of conniving and
(It will be recalled that Wright's then unpublished Lawd Today served as a working model for The Outsider.) Cross, in his daily dealings with the three women and his fellow postal workers feel something akin to nausea. His social and legal obligations have enslaved him. He has inherited from his mother a sense of guilt and foreboding regarding his relationship to women and his general awareness of amoral physical

RICHARD WRIGHT Richard Wright was born in Mississippi in 1908 and died in 1960. During his rather brief lifetime, he completed several novels, and books of poems, all dealing with black issues and ideas. Two of his most famous works are "Black Boy," and "Native Son," which this paper
