“I told my dad I wasn’t going to school anymore. He said: Why, you just come on and go work with me. I went in the mines, and I

went to work. From ’31 to about the last of ’32…We lived eight miles from the mine, and we had to ride it horseback…Many times I’d have to git off and hammer his feet out of the stirrups. They’d be froze in the stirrups…We got up at five in the mornin’, start at six. We got out at ten that night. We’d work about six hours a day, seventeen hours.” –Buddy Blankenship, West Virginia miner Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression 1.

Answer: I think the main idea is to show what struggles families faced during the Great Depression. Also, to especially show the struggled children had to face working for their families.

Explanation: Buddy Blankenship starts the paragraph by saying "I told my dad I wasn't going to school anymore". This shows that the author was a child when he started working in the mines with his father. He goes into detail on the struggle he faced, ie, "We got up at 5 in the mornin'" and "We'd work about six hours a day, seventeen hours". This kind of work is grueling and awful for a child.

Why is perspective especially important for an artist to consider when creating a freestanding sculpture (sculpture-in-the-round
kari74 [83]

Answer and Explanation:

Perspective is important for an artist because it is what allows the exact representation of what the artist wants to exhibit in terms of a three-dimensional object. Perspective is the view of the object that the artist is sculpting, in an independent sculpture it is important to show the idea behind the work of art and to allow people to understand what is being presented. The artist creates a sculpture that can be viewed from many perspectives, when he presents a work so realistic that it can be seen from any side and angle and still represent the same object in a natural way. An example of this can be seen in Michalangelo's David.

Explain how culture influenced the Italian Renaissance?
tino4ka555 [31]
The Italian Renaissance was a time of cultural differentiation;

With various types of cultures - which had distinct religions - changing the life of those who were Italian, the Italian race or you could say, power prevailed greatly.  With more cultures colliding towards one another during the Italian Renaissance, there was, of course, a lot of wars or hostile behaviour against one another.

In the future, this lead to many successes during the Italian Renaissance such as technology levels rising and the race of all Italians began to expand worldwide.

Hope this helped! :)
