mental and physical conditions were poor. Moreover, In April 1897, he got news from his wife, Mette. There was written that his daughter Aline, who is only twenty, was dead due to pneumonia. Gauguin was absolutely depressed at this news and seriously thinking to kill himself. Before leaving the world, he wished and attempted to paint his last great testamentary masterpiece, Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? which is one of his most famous artworks. He said, “I wanted

Many visual characteristics of the painting, such as the
Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? Paul Gauguin is known for being one of the world's greatest painters, although he was not much appreciated at his time. His work seems to tell stories of his life. In his series of painting done in Tahiti, we can see the many wonders that Gauguin himself explored. Today Gauguin's painting run for millions. For example; Paul Gauguin's Maternite (II) done in 1899 was sold for $39.2 million. That wasn't the case back when Gauguin first started
We are here today to talk about the upcoming event starting May 18, 2017; we will have some visitors from the Kentucky Medicaid program. Mountain Comprehensive Health Corporation was invited to meet the Governor as Dr Van Breeding being country doctor of the year. As you all are aware we are trying to work with Medicaid instead of trying to fight them we’ve switched sides which are not a bad thing we need to be on the side that’s going to help them because it’s going to affect us all. We’ve been
because we do not know the qualities of death. Even though we do not know what death is, he makes some suggestions for the possibilities after death. He suggests that maybe death is just an endless sleep without dreaming, it is where we can finally come to peace with ourselves. He also suggest that maybe in the afterlife he will be able to meet heroic people in the past, where he can share his experience and question people to see whether they are wise. Even in death Socrates is still going to practice
One time i was with my guys out. We were in a nice neighborhood, it was late night, the houses are nice by where we were. It was nice but, it smelled like old dirty bums, and smelled like garbage.Walking through the neighborhood, we would hear some cars pass by, we couldn't really see how they looked because it was to dark out, we would sometimes hear people but i think those were the bums on the corners and alleys, we heard a lot of cop sirens around, but it didn't bother us because that's how it
We have come a long way as a society; we have grown, developed, and matured into the society we are today. We look for different ways to change the world, make it a better place to live in, a place where we are all equal, a place where we could bring children into and know they will have the same opportunities as others, regardless of their appearance. We wouldn’t want them to be judged and turned away with just a glance of their skin. Racism is like fire we could have many small fires, but the moment
After going from city to city in the Starship, we where looking for a place to stay at. We had left Earth because I was being taken over by the aliens that where discovered from other planets. We knew we would encounter other aliens while exploring other planets so we took proper precautions and brought the protection we would need through out the trip. We where going in outer space so the aliens would not track us and follow us to destroy us. We had arrived to the first planet and just by looking
called for this meeting. Everyone who is here, I tell you that we all need loyalty that is rock solid. No one shall trust humans for they had made our lives and other animals’ lives miserable. I swear to all of you that I will do whatever it takes to bring prosperity to our lives and to future comrades to Animal Farm. You all knew the old me, but now that I see my comrades, you need to trust someone and that someone should be me. What I have to say will affect your lives if you decide to listen to
second time; that’s how I look at it. I was incarcerated from May 8th 1942 till May 8th 1945, which happened to be my mother’s birthday. At that point I didn’t know she had been killed. I was still searching for her. And why were they killed: my mother, my father my brothers. All in all 63 members of my family were killed. Why? Because of prejudice and bigotry, and hatred. So how do I live with that? How do I forgive them? What do I do? I always wanted to be the best person I could so that
It is a dream of a land where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds can live together as brothers. -Martin Luther King Jr. The United States is considered a melting pot which means every race is welcomed, like Martin Luther King Jr. this is a land filled with dreams where every race can live in peace and as one big happy family. Sure you are considered American if you were born in this country, but there has to be a more detailed explanation to what truly makes you an American
My definition for inequality is oppression & prejudice from discrimination and other’s belief. In all honesty, I had never thought about a distinct recollection of the two and considered that all people are equal. Being biased (prejudice) oppression is when the system develops a community that works against the specified social class of society. In a way where specific advantages are favored to certain races and sexes. Don’t get me wrong people are designed to compete because no matter how hard you
that we come across in our lives can be just as menacing and terrifying as one would imagine a dragon to be. They rear their beastly heads, breathe the scalding fire that threatens to burn everything in it’s path, and menace our lives with an unparalleled sense of fury. We are not all born princes, the ones who defeat the dragons with a sweep of their magical swords, filled with a bravery and courage that only a prince can possess. Nor are we all damsels in distress, needing the prince to come and
Each day we must make decisions on what we are going to do that day, or even the next day; however, we come to the two roads that diverge, and the roads that diverge are significantly life changing. A poem that comes to mind with this theme is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. Frost’s work is very formidable, he illustrates the challenges that we face in life, in addition to the obstacles that we can overcome. His writing has a unique way with describing real life seniors, thus we need to draw
year old Caucasian mother of two girls with an annual income of around thirty thousand a year. I am a wife in a Methodist household, where my job is a home maker; as well as, I am a college student. I am a French Canadian, German, Native American, and Polish breed. Predominately, I associate myself as a mother. When I first meet someone and they ask me, “What do you do for a living?” My answer is always the same. I say, “I am a mother of two girls who are seven and eight years old.” Being a mother
Im Tumbling and I don't know where I am or what happened. Where am i going? As i'm tumbling i am trying to find myself and where i am. I cant get any grip and im feeling a burning sensation. I have no clue where i am. How did i end up like this? I've been working all week and i wanna do something fun. I wake up and sit on the couch and watch tv. It's so boring and i have nothing to do. I get a call from my friend. He asks if i want to go riding and maybe hangout at his house for a bit. I tell him
time we spend on the internet daily and what types of things we do while we are on the internet. I realized that today’s society is dependent on the internet for most things like doing homework, researching information, shopping, and getting on social media websites. While reading a fact sheet named Fact Sheet: Digital Literacy, “We live in an internet economy I came across interesting facts such as 96% of Americans use technology and internet at their jobs and 28% of American don’t
that parents worried when their kids are missing, or they went somewhere without telling them first, when I was in high school this is when I found out that my parents worried when I don’t tell them where I am going and what I am going to do there. I was in middle school and my parents came to get me from school every day and it was fine until high school. However, when I started high school “I can start walking home or get a job and make some money to buy a car”. So I told my parents “I don’t want
must always choose between living their life accustomed to settling for less or actually living their lives the way they want to. We suffer from the fear of missing out on life experiences and in the end all we really want is to be happy of the life we chose to live. The willingness to take an adventure can range for example someone quitting their job that they hate and going after for the job they actually want. A second type of adventure can be a little bigger than that like actually having the ambition
When we think about our future, we see ourselves in a prosperous earth, even when in reality that’s not the case. Technology has had a big factor in our society’s progression but it has also impacted our environment negatively. We have not seen the full damage that we have done to our environment due to technological advances. Currently, we tend to only see the good things happening that benefit us. When we do see the negative effects, we do very little to improve the circumstances, because we tend
