The classic short story "Indian Camp" by Ernest Hemingway tells of the recurrent Hemingway character Nick Adams. Nick is a child accompanying his father, who is a doctor, to an Indian settlement. A woman is having a difficult time with childbirth and Dr. Adams assists in the delivery. He has to use a jack-knife to perform an emergency caesarean section. During the operation, the woman's husband, in despair, kills himself by slitting his throat with a straight razor.
Explanation:
The relationship between Nick Adams and his father changes during the course of the story. In the beginning, as they are rowing towards the camp, Nick rests trustfully "with his father's arm around him." As part of Nick's initiation to manhood, his father asks him to assist with the medical procedure. He explains things to Nick in a dispassionate way and obviously expects Nick to react similarly, but eventually Nick looks away "so as not to see what his father was doing." He doesn't want to watch as his father sews up the woman's incision with fishing line.
The painting by Edvard Munch named 'The Scream' has become one of the most famous in mainstream media. The unusual colors and concept of the painting draw attention, and the painting itself makes you think. Imagination is something that can run wild with this painting.
The Scream was originally painted by Munch based on an experience he had; a scream pierced through nature while on a walk, after his two companions, seen in the background, had left him. Edvard painted 'The Scream' as a result, conveying his probable fear and shock. The painting sets a somber yet creepy tone with its combination of oranges, blues, and browns. The brush strokes that Munch used were swirled and rough, creating an amazing painting that leaves so much to the imagination. Admirers of art praise this masterpiece for its tangible eerie vibe. The red and orange sky suggests that this painting takes place at sunrise or sunset, and in the background is a beach with swirling waters, giving off a savage look.
Although Edvard Munch created one of the most popular painting of the modern era, he was aware of the danger of an art of this sort for a neurotic artist like himself. He soon abandoned the style and rarely, if ever again, subjected a figure to this kind of radical and systematic distortion. The abstractness yet clarity in this painting is what makes it so special, inspiring many other works of art, songs, and even movies. Munch was far ahead of his time, and his spirit still lives on today, always remembered by the people of the world.
Russell Conwell was a baptist minister, the first president of Temple University and a captain during the Civil War. At the ten year reunion of his troops, he delivered the Acres of Diamonds speech. He was asked to deliver the speech thousands of times in cities all over the world. Ticket sales paid for his travel and accommodations. The remaining money he sent back to Temple, where it paid for the education of nearly 2000 students.
The speech is a commentary on attitudes toward money and wealth. It urges the audience to discover the wealth in front of them rather than search far off places in vain or believe that success is unattainable.
