the piece “The Holy Virgin Mary” by Chris Ofili. Funny, he didn’t give attention to some of the other outrageous works including the pubescent female mannequins studded with erect penises, vaginas, and anuses, fused together in various postures of sexual coupling, or the portrait of a child molester and murder made from what appears like child hand prints or bisected animals in plexiglass tanks full of formaldehyde.

In the short story Early Autumn by Langston Hughes, we saw an interaction between Mary and Bill who haven’t seen each other in awhile. We can conclude that they used to be old lovers based on the interaction between them. How would someone feel if they ran into their ex after a long time and they weren’t interested in them?
