Her story is unfortunate, but her happy ending only comes because of John. Had it not been for Walker, I do not think Ruth would have ever been able to earn the salary she did towards the end of the novel, and I think she would still be feeding Nettie milk and bread. Feminist heroine's are suppossed to be independent however Ruth is not. To me, that is not the definition of a feminist heroine. He helps her achieve financially independence, and he is right beside her during the difficult times in her life. That being said, she still doesn't become successful on her own. If her husband didn't die, she never would have gone in search of a job, and she never would have been in the predicament she was. Ruth becomes determined and strong because of the situations she is put into. Going off of our class discussion, I think that Ruth has some characteristics of a feminist heroine, but I don't think she is one.

I re-read every part of the book to really understand the cruelty you went through. I was in disbelief of what Hitler mad you do. I was extremely horrified by what you were made do : eat dirt bread, drink swamp water,eat worms, ect.

Michelangelo’s status among Italian patrons grew quickly, and his work was in high demand. The inspiring lessons and techniques that Michelangelo acquired from other Renaissance painters helped him become a great artist - and, more to the point, a great artistic visionary in his time. Zollner, in his acute description of Michelangelo’s early drawings and sketches, writes that they “perfectly mirror the periodization of art history described” by da Vinci, but “arose less out of the study of nature than from the imitation of earlier and contemporary masters: Giotto, Masaccio and Schongauer’s engraving.” To be sure, all artists learn, grow and develop in different ways. He apprenticed with the Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, a “particularly suitable teacher” who was “executing monumental fresco cycles in Florence and who also contributed to the first phase of decorations for the Sistine Chapel.” Mr. The idea of the book is simply to try to understand the extraordinary contraption that is us.'īill Bryson sets off to explore the human body, how it functions and its remarkable ability to heal itself.
