   The reason why i chose this picture is because i was amazed at how you can view a full moon while looking at the clouds during the day. In the image portrayed, i like how the artist captured the essence of the painting and added some pastel color. I read that the painting is from 19th century Japan and the painting is called Moon in Clouds. This painting distinguishes itself from others because this is a perfect representation of clouds forming together then separating to reveal a full moon in the blue sky like it is normal. Since we are so used to seeing full moons at night, it is refreshing looking at this and letting our imaginations wonder what if full moons were to occur during the day and visible as much as clouds are.

 I chose this painting because i have never seen a type of sky like this except in movies or video games. This image differs from the image i chose mainly because the clouds are separated but are a different color thanks to the sun setting also there is no full moon. I find it euphoric and soothing to look at and it sets itself apart from the rest of the paintings due to the lack of clouds but also the but the clouds that are not seen kind of blend in with the sky. As a whole i find these two paintings symbolic and eye catching because it shows the creativity the artists' were trying to go for and it also shows their appreciation for cloud-spotting and how they view clouds differently than a regular person does and hope to share their love with the people viewing them.

Introduction to a Social Introvert

Hi, My name is Charlton Nwaefulu and I am a senior here at the University of Oklahoma and will be graduating in December. I am from Mansfield, TX and i transferred to this school in the Fall of 2015.

I didn't really have a favorite class from last semester due to the workload/scheduling but if i had to choose then i would say that a class that i liked the most then it would have to be Economics of Discrimination because it broke down the economics of topics such as marriage and earnings and the costs of getting married and divorce. We also talked about wages and earnings between men and women regarding race.             My biggest accomplishment from last year was that i was able to pass my classes because i was in 3 Economic electives for my major and an MIS class so juggling the...

Week 12 Story: The Tale of O'Reilly

Image
There once was a man named O'Reilly who lived in the town of Apollonia with his wife, Meredith. They were living in the poorest section of the town and had spent days and nights wishing that money would fall into their lap. One morning before going to work, O'Reilly had awakened to the sound of a thud on the front door. O'Reilly then slid out of bed to see who or what has arrived on his porch and found an eviction notice before he could open the locks on the door. Meredith follows behind him asking O'Reilly what he is holding and he tells her about them needing to come up with money within a certain amount of days otherwise they will be put on the streets. "What are we going to do? It is almost time for winter and we cannot be without a place to stay," said Meredith. "I know, I know my dear. Hopefully, Mr. O'Boyle will be generous enough to grant me a raise for my birthday since I have been helping him around the shop for quite a spell," said...
