The artwork that I have chosen to visually analyze is Town of Harrisonburg, VA by Emma Lyon Bryan. It was created in 1867 and is an oil on canvas painting. This artwork is located in the Duke Hall Gallery of Fine Art at James Madison University and is around 36” long and 24” high. This piece is a depiction of what Harrisonburg looked like in 1867. Bryan’s artwork is held in a wooden glass frame with a gold border and displays the buildings of the town, dirt roads, open land, mountains, and many other small details.

It was an eerie and foggy time of morning when Mr. Foster began to wake up. He looked over at his TV and saw that there was a flash flood last night. The flood devastated most of Kanawha County and the Metro Valley. Because the flood was so sudden, people on the scene knew there would be casualties. Edward knew this would be mighty well for his business which just happens to be one of the only funeral homes in that area of Kanawha County.
The West Memphis Three was a homicide case in 1993 where the murder of three 8 year old boys struck shock to a small religious town. Putting the town into hysteria, the pressure was on for the police department. Word came out about three teenage boys who were the towns out cast and were accused of worshipping the Devil. The three teenage boys convicted were Jessie Misskelley, Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin. Jessie was a highschool dropout, a delinquent, and a social outcast.
So, that day I stood in front of the class and gave my entire speech on why we should select Dollywood as our class trip destination, "... and for your benefit and mine, we should definitely agree to go to Dollywood. Dollywood consists of everything we would need to fulfill our longing for an amazing field trip. So, if we were going to pick an, out of this world trip, it would have to be Dollywood!" On our way to the land of wonder, we experience many bumps in the road. The travel wasn 't your typical highway drive.
Then during the last week of July we booked a trip to Dollywood! We got really lucky with our reservations because all of the Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg hotels were booked. There was only one hotel we could get and it was in Kodak. It's about 10 miles from Pigeon Forge. Whenever we go to Tennesse on vacation it's usually never that crowded.
Kids are important because they grow up to be adults with power. They need to be taught how to make well-informed choices. We can teach them these things in children 's church. Teaching k-5th allowed me to help others grow, and to give back some of the lessons I was taught. My church also let me lead them in worship, allowing people feel closest to God during worship.
Can we shine the light on the West Memphis Three? Three teenagers named Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin spent twenty years in prison for a crime they did not do. Once convicting the boys of the murder of three young boys named Steve Branch, Christopher Byers, and James Moore. This was the most gruesome murder to occur in this small town in Arkansas. These young boys got out to play together and never came back once the sun had set.
Whenever my mom has company at her house, guests always ask about the plaque that hangs in the living room on the wall. It reads Championship Mvp, 14-0 season, Jonesboro Wildcats. My mom always smiles and says, “Ask Markus about it.” I don’t mind telling people about the championship game. It is after all one of my fondest memories playing sports.
The Civil Rights movement was a turning point in our history. The fight for equality started long before the 1960’s for African Americans. Tennesseans fought to keep blacks and whites separated. Freedom was not easy to obtain in Tennessee, and many whites opposed the “freedman.” Black Tennesseans fought for their right to vote back in 1867 and won.
Growing up in southwest Atlanta, Georgia, I have been surrounded by ‘black success’ instead of just ‘success’ for the duration of my life. The blacks in my area are equally as successful, if not more accomplished than, the non-blacks, but we are always titled separately and put into a captive box. The box we are held in told young girls that they should aspire to be athletes, cosmetologists, or plain unemployed. The same box told young men that they could only be considered “somebody” if they were able to catch a ball well. These are occupations we would ‘best be suited for’; these are occupations that perpetuate the box.
Memphis, Tennessee is widely considered as one of the birthplaces of American music. From blues, rock and roll, soul, and gospel, Memphis has an extraordinary musical history that has influenced an abundance of artists and genres we know and love today. Not only are there all of those, but there are many more genres migrating here. There are a lot more styles of rap, heavy metal, and many more genres here today. It has brought people together no matter the race, sex, or color.
As a young girl, around the age of 10 I lived in the Perry projects with my mother. Previously to moving there I would visit often to see my great-grandmother. When I would visit my grandmother there were not many other people that were African-American. The Commodore Perry Projects had been actually made for white people.
There was a running stream that ran from north to south a few meters away from where we were sitting, the fizzing of the leaves above us from the pine trees was very soothing and an eerie coyote cry made the night even more interesting. We were at the back porch playing fish or cut bait, a pretty simplistic but yet challenging board game that tested your ability to do fast decisions that wouldn 't affect the rest of your turn in the game. We had simple snacks and a charming background acoustic guitar playing, the crickets harmonized with the night and the crew, a group of five teenagers, where just having the time of our lives. Our trip to Georgia was more than what I expected, it seemed that the only bad thing about it was the way over there,
