About This Topic

Hair is a subject that surfaces across a surprisingly wide range of academic disciplines, from biology and anatomy to literature, media studies, and personal narrative writing. In science courses, it appears as a component of the integumentary system, the body's outer layer of skin, hair, and nails. In humanities and composition classes, hair carries cultural and symbolic weight, touching on identity, gender, history, and the ways women in particular present themselves to the world. Its versatility makes it genuinely interesting academically: a single topic can bridge clinical description and deeply personal meaning depending on the course context.

The papers archived here reflect that range. Some take an analytical approach, examining advertisements and film — including work connected to F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing — to explore how hair shapes visual messaging and cultural ideals. Others are personal and descriptive, using hair as a lens for life narrative, journal reflection, or college application essays. Still others address hair in professional or applied contexts such as client health history examinations and customer service materials. Comparative and image-analysis frameworks appear alongside purely creative or expressive work.

A strong essay on hair succeeds by committing to one clear angle rather than trying to cover all of them at once. If the focus is cultural or historical, specific examples of how hair signals change, status, or identity carry the most argumentative weight. If the approach is analytical, grounding claims in a single text, image, or case keeps the thesis manageable. The most common pitfall is treating hair as merely decorative or superficial — the strongest essays recognize that it consistently points toward larger questions about identity, history, and social meaning.

Color and Van Gogh Van
Van Gogh's careful reflection on choosing a palette and especially his focus on contrast define the mood and set the tone in two of his paintings, The Sower and the Night Café. Although there are several human beings in the latter, the main impression in this scene is that of loneliness since even the only couple in the image is meant to take away all hope. The other couple in the former, the working man and the tree appear to be more on the allegorical side in spite of their earthiness. The Night Café is the depiction of an interior where everything seems to take life away from its sources and transform it into something that is of little value, therefore the shades of greenish yellow are dominating the scene. When there are bright colors, such as the yellow glow coming from the hanging lamps, they are meant to hurt the eye, not to cast light upon a subject. At the other end of the spectrum, quite contrary to what the painter meant to illustrate in The Night Café, The Sower strikes as the study of life's sources along with its mystery. The first impression upon viewing it is powerful. The dark tree silhouette crossing the painting from the lower right corner, on a diagonal, up to the farther left corner, along with the dark silhouette of the sower clearly dominate and strike as intriguing at first. Then one notices the earthy tones that creep up the tree's trunk and extend to the sower's otherwise featureless face and hands. This brown, slightly yellow clay color, is strongly and intently coming over through the human flesh and the bark and leaves of the tree and not from the soil itself.
