A sleepy afternoon

Even when the opera’s are in French, I don’t understand a heck word. It’s still a smooth song.

Ya I think I know this type of art… Wait a minute, isn’t recycling. Gathering trash and doing visual trash with it… I really don’t like this art sculpture.

Ernest Hemingway’s short story “In Another Country”:

The story mainly speak about men who went to war and came back. Now they meet each other at the hospital. It’s sad to know that the major’s wife died before he could see her.

Strange indians, pony and alcoholic familly

The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky:

It’s an old piece with music and uncommon actors. I don’t appreciate the melody ’cause  the choreography is very, I’m looking at them jumping they are like bunnies in white and orange.

Look at I and the Village by Marc Chagall:

I don’t like it, the characters are too strange even me, I could do a better pony. The color chosen don’t tickle my eyes.

Act IV of Long Day’s Journey into Night by Eugene O’Neill

There’s still a separation between the beliefs of the father and the son because at a moment the dad says that atheism is not good and that God is the only one that could give hope. The story describes a day in 1912 when a lot of things happen. If I understood well, the characters are addicted to the alcohol and drugs.

Gremlin and blog good combination

the 1812 Overture by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:

It make me feel in harmony, we could but this song into a drama movie and it should make people feel more the feelings of the thorned character. Than almost at middle we could see the character redress him and take his weapons. Around 4:50 the man enters into the building fifty seconds later he figures out that he made a mistake. Guess I’m gonna stay a student movie director isn’t my strength ;P

2. Look at the following photos of The Thinker by Auguste Rodin:

It’s a popular statue who isn’t unknown to many. I was thinking that this statue was from one of the great Leonardo or Michaelango . I did’t know that the first name of that sculpture was The Poet. It was created for the Decorative Art Museum.The creator wanted to represent at the same time a heroic Dante and a man thinking to his poem.

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” by Mark Twain

It was strange to read a story into a story and i didn’t know some words so i needed to go search and then come back to the text, it took me a while to read it.
