Narrative Essay On Eleven By Sandra Cisneros

243 Words1 Page

Superficial
I was inspired by the lines from Eleven by Sandra Cisneros,
“ I examined it closely searching for some flaw, some obvious damage. But there was nothing, no imperfection I could see. If there was something wrong it was not evident by the smooth, hard plastic of the outside. All the mistakes would be on the inside, where you couldn’t see, couldn’t reach.”
This paragraph made me realize how rare it is to know what someone has gone through by their apperance. The quote from Eleven also reminded me that the earth is polluted everyday; a simple activity such as drinking bottled water can affect the environment though you can’t see your effect while drinking. I wanted to create an art piece where you could observe mother earth as well

    425 Words  | 1 Pages

    As artwork has become more accepted in popular culture, we begin to see more and more creative artists portray their opinions of what is really going on in today’s society. By the rights granted to us based on the foundation of this country, there is the right to release opinions of how the world is viewed. A major part of this is what goes on in the atmosphere of which we live. The environment plays a vital role in the daily lives of citizens of the world and what happens to our environment in the future will continue to have lasting affects on future generations to come. Through artwork, the advertising industry has been releasing more frequent campaigns of what is going on in the world we live with an aspect of how nature is surviving as people are as well. There is an ongoing relationship that we rely on nature just as nature sometimes would seem to fit into our lives more than we would begin to realize. There are usual two sides to every story and it seems that either one is of nature or one is against nature. This is evident in some aspects of television, movies, advertising, and music.

Throughout humanity, children have always wished to be older and to become an adult. Whether the child wants to be older just so they can stay awake later at night, sit in the front seat of the car, or to not go to school, to be a “grown up” is something that every child desires. Oddly enough, the older and wiser adults get, they wish the exact opposite and want to be young and careless again.
