A Story Of 'Jesus Look Like A Girl'

469 Words2 Pages

This is not your ordinary story. This is a story about a young girl’s life and her deep and chilling connection to Jesus Christ. This story does not have a lot to do with religion, however, this story has to do with specifically how Jesus Christ was painted and the artist. Along with those ideas, it opens up many unexpected visions that should have the reader wowed.
We are introduced to a small and young version of Dorothy Allison who is with her mother at church. As her mother finishes practicing for her own baptism and both become ready to leave the church, Allison looks and questions the painting of Jesus Christ. She points out, “Jesus looks like a girl” to her mother and this becomes the point where the artist makes an impact on Dorothy

  • Personification In The Yellow Wallpaper By Charlotte Perkins Gilman

    779 Words  | 4 Pages

    For instance, there is an understanding of the woman’s feelings as she describes “a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down” and the pattern looking at her “as if it knew what a vicious influence it had” (Gilman 437). The personification is symbolic in displaying how the woman felt as she was stuck in the lonely room with allowance of her husband and Jennie, their child’s nanny, keeping their eyes on her with the dependence of her healing. Additionally, the woman specifies that behind the yellow wallpaper she can see “a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure, that seems to sulk about behind that silly and conspicuous front design” (Gilman 438). As the appearance of the wallpaper is personified, the author taps into the hidden meaning that the woman’s sickness is taunting her as she is attempting to heal. In the end, readers are given the most significant piece of personification in the statement, “and then when the sun came and that awful pattern began to laugh at me, I declared that I would finish it today!”

  • Compare And Contrast Madonna And Child With The Two Angels

    Artwork is a form of self-expression from an artist based on life experience, or on something that the artist feels strongly about (Berenson, 87). The product of art can help others with similar experiences but not able to express the same feeling themselves. From the product of art, people can start drawing excitement, purpose as well as encouragement about the real thing being expressed. Through a piece of art, the artist can communicate a purpose, an emotion or an idea in their work. In this research paper, I compare two pieces of artwork; Madonna and child with the saints by Giovanni Bellini and Madonna and child with the two angels done by Fra Filippo Lippi.

  • Two Or Three Things I Know For Sure Sparknotes

    This is another one of Kruger’s classic red, white and black pieces. It is the outline of a woman’s body, pinned down and immobile. It is a representation of women’s place in society, more specifically, a patriarchal society (“Barbara Kruger Biography, Art and Analysis of Works”). This brings me back to our first reading, Two Or Three Things I Know For Sure, where Dorothy Allison gives a vivid description of the women in her life. She considers them an after thought, even background noise, she writes, “The women of my family were measured, manlike, sexless, bearers of babies, burdens and contempt” (Allison 33).

  • Dorothy In Lovatt's

    193 Words  | 1 Pages

    A similar sacrifice of a relationship occurs between the two most prominent female characters: protagonist Harriet and her mother, Dorothy, who is most prominent prior to the birth of Ben. The Lovatt’s, but primarily Dorothy’s daughter and her sister Sarah, exploit her inherent sympathy and care and objectify her. Angela, another sister, takes pride in that “the two other sisters took up all of Dorothy” (32). The quantitative presentation of Dorothy in this statement, in a manner that compares her to a mechanical tool, represents the burdens carried by Harriet’s surroundings; burdens to which she is blind, due to her cognitive dissonance. Nevertheless, similarly to the relationship with David, it is possible that for Harriet, Dorothy truly

  • Margery Kempe: A Medieval Myth

    “She saw Saint Anne great with child… and anon our Lady was born, and she busied herself to take the child to herself until it was twelve years of age” (15). Margery Kemp often creates such donor portraits in her own mind where she holds a key role in a significant event that somehow involves Jesus, in this case, the birth of the Virgin Mary. Such performances were essential to many medieval mystics, but a great deal are present in the lives of Margery Kempe, a fourteenth century mystic and Benedetta Carlini, a sixteenth century nun from an Italian convent. Both women put on elaborate performances for specific purposes throughout their lives, many which resemble a social drama. Both Margery Kempe in The Book of Margery Kemp, and Benedetta Carlini
