     Last month, I was able to visit the Crocker Art Museum. During the visit to the museum, I was overwhelmed by how much art there was. I tried to look at every single piece of fascinating art but one really caught my eye. The Norwegian Coast by Moonlight  by Andreas Achenbach. The painting is an oil on canvas created in 1848. In the painting, we can see violent waves brushing up against rocks and a wrecked ship with the main light source being light from the bright moon. The wrecked boat is supposed to symbolize the man's helplessness during the storm. There are also a few birds flying in the sky. The birds are the complete opposite of the man because the man is helpless in storm while the birds are free and unharmed. In the back, we can see a beacon from a lighthouse on the cliff "unable to prevent the wreck below," (Crocker Art Museum).  Norwegian Coast by Moonlight  Andres Achenbach  1848 Oil on canvas      This art piece really stood out to me because of the feelin

Part 1: A Collection of Books      During my time in the Humanities 310 class, I read more books than I expected. I am grateful that the class got the opportunity to read more, even if most of the things we read were plays. It felt good to physically have a copy of the book, rather than reading it from a screen like I have started to get used to. I even recently started getting back into reading on my own time. When I was younger, I used to read tons of books but sadly as I aged, the amount of books I read declined and because of online school, most books required for class were read online. So, I am happy that I am getting back into reading with the help of my humanities class. Below are some books that I have read.  CliffsComplete.  Shakespeare's Hamlet .

     The character I have selected to talk about from Pierre Augustin de Beaumarchais's   The Marriage of Figaro, is  none other than the main character, Figaro. Figaro is a servant  to Count Almaviva, who is set on his goal of marrying the countess' maid, Susanna. As he is preparing the room that the Count has given the couple, Susanna tells Figaro that the room is too close to the Count's suite. Figaro questions her and Susanna confesses that the Count had started to take a liking to her. This is where the problem and the plot begins as Figaro is filled with anger and plans to go after Count Almaviva. This would be difficult considering Figaro's class status compared to the Count. Figaro is a servant, and not just any servant but the Count's servant, while the Count is on a much higher class level and Figaro's master.   Figaro and Susanna Utah Opera       I chose Figaro to talk about because of the similarities  this play has to previous ones we have read.
