Newton's deformed body may appear to be the biological result of some nuclear irradiation… but it is rather the product of his father's preoccupation with inventing atomic weapons and carelessness with regards to his children. Newton's small body, which invites the verbal abuse from his peers, originates from his own family. The science fiction of the same period saw the birth of boy-robots depicted as freakish and therefore alienated even from their producers… Vonnegut's Newton is a human character who is transformed into the equivalent of a scientific invention through the writer's narratology. (Fumika, 2)

Julia Margaret made it her duty to show her subjects in the light of their potential immorality and it shows beautifully in her work.Julia Margaret Cameron was an English woman with a remarkable talent for photography and who created brilliant photographs that captured moments of emotional intensity. She rejected the meticulously observed and highly defined detail of the artisan photographers, yet there was nothing eccentric or amateur in her approach.
Winogrand discovered photography at a point in time when unconventional photos were just beginning to emerge. Although it was thought that photojournalism had offered the most opportunity, this new and unconventional direction of photography was preferred. Artists were now able to shoot what they desired not what they were told to shoot. This revolutionary form of photography was based on emotion and intuition as opposed to precision and description. Exploring real life became more of the focus, instead of calculated or planned out pictures. In the early fifties, Winogrand attempted to become a freelance photographer, but the money he was making was not sufficient enough to support his new wife and children. He was forced to spend most of his time working for magazines such as Colliers, Redbook, and Sports Illustrated. At this time Winogrand’s photo’s had no distinction from any other photojournalist, but he always felt different and waited for the chance to prove it. He once said, “ The best stories were those that had no story line…on entertainers…or athletic contests, where the photographer could forget narrative and concentrate on movement, flesh, gesture, display, and human faces”(Szarkowski, p17).
Isaac Newton had a tragic and unfortunate life ever since he was born. Three months prior to Newton’s birth, his father died. Then, when Newton was three years old, his mother left him with her parents in order to remarry to a wealthy rector, named Barnabas Smith. A few years later, his mother returned with three more children, and brought Newton back home to live with her and their new family. Newton went to school for next next couple years, until age fourteen, when he was told to drop out of school to assist his mother around the house and on the farm. It turned out Newton was not of any help around the house nor farm, because he was constantly busy reading. His mother then advised him to return to school (“Isaac Newton;” Gleick). After said events, his mother's second husband, Barnabas Smith dies as well. His mother then fled again, completely neglecting Newton's parental needs. Combination of all these events caused Newton to be on a constant emotional and physical edge, often crying and engaging in disputes and fights in school (“Sir Isaac Newton;” Hatch).
Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in the hamlet of Woolsthorpe, England. He was the only son of a prosperous farmer whose name was also Isaac Newton. Unfortunately his father passed away about 3 months before he was even born. Newton was a premature baby and was not expected to survive. His mother, Hannah Ayscough, remarried when he was 3 and left him to his grandmother. This action made him very insecure later in life (“Isaac”). At the age of 12 he was reunited with his
Sir Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 25 December, 1642 based on the Julian Calendar (4 January, 1643, Gregorian Calendar) in Woolsthorpe Manor in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, three months after the death of his father. He was born premature, and his mother Hannah Ayscough had reportedly said that he was small enough to fit inside a quart mug. Newton’s mother remarried when he was three years old and left him in the care of his grandmother. This incident created much emotional distance between the scientist and his mother, and in addition to that, Newton also confessed to frightening his parents by threatening to burn them and their house. Another sad aspect of Newton’s personal life is that even though he was engaged, he never married.

Ernst was one of multiple artists who emerged from military service emotionally wounded and alienated from European traditions and conventional values. It is believed that many or Ernst’s views and expressions of some of his works are from the emotional impact and devastation came while serving in the war. After his war service, he began to develop his own style. “He made a series of collages, using illustrations from medical and technical magazines to form bizarre juxtapositions of images” (Hopkins 3). In 1918 Ernst was demobilized and he returned to Cologne. He then married art history student Luise Straus, who he met in 1914. He and Luis had a son Ulrich ‘Jimmy’ Ernst who was born on June 24, 1920. Ernst’s marriage soon began to fall apart shortly after the birth of his
Newton was excepted into the “society'; and then he became the head of the “society'; and that was a really big deal back then. He also publishes a book. For Einstein’s future plans he planed on marrying Molava and having children although Einstein traveled all around the world although, he was still able to keep in touch with Molava and her kids. Their names were Liza and the other kids name must have just slipped my mind. He would not have communicated with them and as much he would have liked. He soon got divorced. Then in 1919 he married his cousin named Elssa. He went to see his father one day to tell him the good news his father practically told him that he was a screw up and to go home with his family. He then died that day alone. Newton dressed very sloppily and he rarely went to bed between two and three in the morning, Newton also never married and he got little laughs about that one.
He conducted experiments on sunlight and prisms. He discovered that sunlight was made up of different colors. This lead to his work on reflecting telescopes. At the same time he was working out his ideas of planetary motion. He returned to Cambridge in 1667 and became the a fellow, earned his MA and the following year became the chair of the math department. he then wrote a book on optics. Newton worked cooperatively wiht other scientists such as Robert Hookeand Edmund Halley on planetary motion. But he was later bitter and resentfull not wanting to give other any credit for their contributions to his work. Newton went on to serve in government positions such as a member of Parliament and later as Warden of the Mint. His only words spoken as a member of parliament were "shut the window." He had a mental breakdown of sorts resulting in thoughts of persecutiojn mania later in life.
