The Last Supper Analysis & End of Act 1 Twelve Angry Men

Jesus states he will be crucified and will die because of someone at the table betraying him in this scene. The painting characterizes people by hand gestures that the characters are using. A lot is expressed in the painting by the characters and the characters themselves are defined by the gestures.

Thomas is the man holding up his finger towards the sky which expresses his doubt and he is not the one who betrays Jesus.

Judas's hand is parallel to Jesus's as well as on a bag of silver, showing the greed. His right hand has also split the salt on the table.

Peter is conflicted and the protector of Jesus, he has a knife in one hand and appears to be leaning both towards and away from him.

Simon is the man who is questioning the whole situation, he has his hands in a questionable stance.

James is shocked by the whole situation and is moving his hands/body backwards.

John is to the direct left and he has his hands in a position that one associates with prayer.

Each of the men are in three separate sets in order to show the symmetry and the order of God's plan.

Mini Essay Draft 3 Passengers/Wishing Well

Both "Wishing Well" and "Passengers" are about the disconnect from reality and how necessary this human connection is despite societal pressures to remain distant from this closeness. We need to connect with one another in order to actually feel and observe what is occurring in the real world around us. By allowing ourselves to engage in contact with "strangers" feelings of joy or comfort can be evoked from within.  The understanding of strangers in the poem "Wishing Well" comes into play and helps express this message the poet, Gregory Pardlo, is in fact trying to convey to the readers. While strangers normally express some sort of danger that we as humans distance ourselves from they take on an entirely opposite meaning in this piece. Strangers allow the narrator and the other man at the outside of the stadium to create a bond that proves to be special to the narrator who at first seems to be unconcerned about anything going on around him.

Chapter Four & Five "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"

Chapter four allows another narrator to come into "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" other than Oskar. It is a letter from his grandmother, who he is very close with and relies on daily for support through their conversations using the walkie talkies. The way she writes/narrates is different than the way Oskar does. Her ideas are rather linear and go from one to another with relation to the previous statement. However, Oskar's ideas tend to bounce around, for instance the idea about the teakettle and talking anus's in the first chapter we read. A majority of these characters, Oskar, Grandma and Grandpa, all keep/want letters. Each story that is told by these characters differ and we get to see it from different perspectives. I think this book has a large focus on how people see and experience things that happen to them in life. Chapter five starts off with a conversation between Oskar and his father, who asks seemingly random questions just like Oskar does throug...

Chapter 6 & 7 "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"

Chapter 6 is narrated by Oskar's Grandfather and he tells us in the letter what happened with Oskar's Grandmother, a completely different experience than how she described it in her letter. We can assume that this letter is from grandpa because it has the same date as the letter from grandma, not coincedetal in my opinion. We get an insight into his life as he grew up and how he met grandma through her sister, whom he orginally slept with first. We also find out that he apologizes for leaving her and their unborn child and for all the other wrong doings he has done in life. He also writes one sentence on pages, just like Oskar does when he narrates the story. Chapter 7 goes back to Oskar narrating and it occurs when he is in the production of Hamlet. Most of the black's he has met come to the show, along with his grandma who appears to be his biggest supporter throughout the whole novel. It flashes back to when he meets more of the people with the last name black  Once ag...
