When Annie first saw Helen’s family, Annie explained, “Language is more important to the mind that light is to the eyes” (Act I).

It made her worried because she was not sure if the person she is going to teach would learn from her. When Annie first saw Helen, she exclaimed, “I wondered is she was bright, she is the brightest one in the house” (Act I). Annie always did the right thing to have great progress.

...photographer Annie Leibowitz after a prompt shoot on an instant Polaroid camera. Lying in the light taupe floor rug, naked John Lennon curled around his wife Yoko Ono with his eyes closed and lips kissing her right-side cheek. He had his left arm and wrist bent around her, locking her slightly tiled head. His right arm stretched out to give a powerful grasp at her freely spread long black hair. He raised his lap against himself and right knee high up to her chest. He hooked her waist with his tensed foot while his left leg tucked under her buttocks. On his right, Yoko Ono dressed in black sweater and indigo jeans extended her torso straight with her right arm around John Lennon and left forearm under her head. Yoko Ono half-opened eyes stared into her distant left through John. They displayed their composure with their emotionless faces and intimate pose. Next to them was their white bed in which a piece of denim cloth was placed. In his famous Dakota apartment in New York City, Annie Leibowitz took the last and arguably the single most controversial photograph of John Lennon. The striking elements of the image reveal not only his affection towards his wife but also his philosophies that brought him more publicity and criticism. John Lennon had doubtlessly made a name for himself in the music industry as the founder member of Beatles even before embarking on his career as a solo artist. Nevertheless, like many musicians and celebrities, his artistic immortality was also largely...

...In the short story “Job History” written by Annie Proulx, we follow Leeland Lee from the time of his birth, until he is about fifty years old. In the short story we follow Leeland through his harsh life, with ups and downs, in the form of thoughts, feelings, incidents, etc. Leeland is born in a ranch in Wyoming, and lives there with his wife Lori. Leeland does not look particularly good, in fact he is a very unattractive man; (page 91, line 12)“Leeland’s face shows heavy bones from his mother’s side. His neck is thick and his red-gold hair plastered down in bangs. Even as a child his eyes are as pouchy as those of a middle-age alcoholic, the brows rod-straight above wandering out-of-line eyes. His nose lies broad and close to his face, his mouth seems to have been cut with a single chisel blow into easy flesh” I liked that it was short and to the point but at the same time I wish that some of the details would have gone a little bit deeper than just brushing the surface.Leeland's story was less of a recollection and more of a list of facts. In those few pages, we are told where he came from and what he has become. We are shown the type...

... Although journalists can be very effective, this is where playwrights have a high advantage over journalists. Playwrights have the freedom to create a scenario, while incorporating their own opinions, use figurative language and use actors to make their story come to life. These ideas can be seen by comparing a work of a real event and how the concept was turned into a play. In Arthur Miller’s play, “All My Sons”, a conspiracy dealing with passed-defective engines that would go onto supporting planes belonging to the Air Force during World War II slowly unravels to what really happened and who was truly responsible. It is made apparent that Larry Keller, Joe’s son, went missing during a mission in World War II. Then Annie, Larry’s old girlfriend, was asked by Chris Keller, the other son, to come visit in hopes of asking her to marry him. While Ann is catching up with the Kellers, her father and Keller’s business partner, Steve Deever, is mentioned for the first time along with Keller’s question of whether her father is getting parole. It is eventually learned that Steve went to jail for being responsible of the shipment of defective engines, killing 21 Air Force pilots. Mother has a hard time dealing with her emotions, often feels ill and lashes out on people’s realistic views of Larry’s death. Steve’s son, George, arrives infuriated with the Keller family and looks to...

It would be better than hiding in this old closet that I’m in now, which reeks of must and unused cleaning supplies. Although, the stench of dirt and Windex couldn’t possibly smell as bad as the vile odor of the sick and decaying people outside; I don’t want to go out there. I’m petrified. If I go back out there, I could get sick myself, and leave behind my husband and kids. But I can’t stay in here. It’s wrong.

...revolutionized the study of language acquisition, and after a brief period of controversy upon the publication of his book, Aspects of the Theory of Syntax, in 1964, his theories are now generally accepted as largely true. As a consequence, he was responsible for the emergence of a new field during the 1960s, Developmental Psycholinguistics, which deals with children’s first language acquisition. He was not the first to question our hitherto mute acceptance of a debatable concept – long before, Plato wondered how children could possibly acquire so complex a skill as language with so little experience of life. Experiments have clearly identified an ability to discern syntactical nuances in very young infants, although they are still at the pre-linguistic stage. Children of three, however, are able to manipulate very complicated syntactical sentences, although they are unable to tie their own shoelaces, for example. Indeed, language is not a skill such as many others, like learning to drive or perform mathematical operations – it cannot be taught as such in these early stages. Rather, it is the acquisition of language which fascinates linguists today, and how it is possible. Noam Chomsky turned the world’s eyes to this enigmatic question at a time when it was assumed to have a deceptively simple explanation. Further in this term-paper I am going to describe the...
