Body art

leads him to discover more of his body. Most of us would say that it is not unusual to see a dead body face to face due to the fact that many of us have already encountered it during funeral rights. I can say that it is true but the fact that you will study and examine it is more on to the part of the professionals and those who are strong willed persons. When I heard to…

For example, on page 206 the Warden says, “ When I was little I'd watch my parents dig holes, every weekend and holiday. When I got bigger, I had a to dig, too. Even on Christmas.“ The fact that she is still digging after all this time, shows that the Warden really is determined. Another example, is on page 77, when X-Ray finds what seems to be a lipstick tube with the initials: KB. (Though the Warden didn’t know Stanley actually uncovered it.) She proceeded to dig all around X-rays hole…

Chapter Eighteen: The Answer Was Right Under Our Nose The answer came two days later clearly etched on Seth’s pale face. “Mr. Greene’s dead.” “Did you say murdered?” I asked, thinking that after solving the great ghost caper sort of, a second high-profile case would be good publicity for agency. “No I said dead,” he insisted. “Ohhh . . .” “Twist wants us to meet him at Moons Field Manor. Come on!” he said rocketing across my yard on his faded blue bike. I grabbed my bike and cruised…

word. Human cadavers was certainly not in the top of my list when I heard this title. After learning that this book was about the way human bodies are used after death, I was very hesitant to read it as I thought it would be very disturbing but. Mary Roach writes her book “Stiff” in hopes to transform the opinions of her readers over what you should do to your body after death. Mary Roach introduces her book with the idea of “Why lie around on your back when you can do something interesting and…

It is quite easy to imagine a tattoo artist in this day and age. They have the whole rocker outfit going on; dark hair, a beard, a bandana, and dark clothing. Such as the man I met named Archie, the owner of the Poison Apple tattoo shop. Archie knew what he wanted to do since he was a kid: he worked hard and did what he had to do, to become an amazing tattoo artist. He looks like any other Tattooist, but once you listen to his story he is so much more. Growing up, Archie found a passion for the…

fascinated with female bodies. This is especially true of Gothic poems of the Victorian Era, such as Robert Browning’s dramatic monologue Porphyria’s Lover (first published as Porphyria, 1836) and Christina Rossetti’s disturbing children’s fable Goblin Market (composed 1859, published 1862). Each poem demonstrates that, due to societal attitudes, a woman’s body has the potential to be dangerous to her, while also possessing positive and restorative qualities; though a woman’s body is innately…

Native American mortuary practices have evolved throughout time; mortuary changes coincide with changes in technology, sedentism, and religious customs. Customs evolve over time in every facet of society; however, mortuary practices are often ignored by the main piece of a population. As an employee of James Funeral Home I have learned how little the majority of the culture knows about preparing and processing their deceased loved ones. As an insider, my interest was piqued into the past…

We all have families that guide us to discover our identity and background, but does that mean we have to follow through the same traditions? The short story “The Moths” by Helena Viramontes tells the story of a fourteen-year-old who describes herself as unattractive, disrespectful and unlike other girls. Although she is mistreated and abused by her family she has an Abuelita who cares for her. She is then forced to care for her ailing Abuelita who is dying through her last days shaping her to…

exasperating haziness all through the story. As Myop experiences the dead body, this idea is confirm again here, “It was then she stepped smack into his eyes. Her heel became lodged in the broken ridge between brow and nose, and she reached down quickly, unafraid, to free herself.” since Myop twists down and liberates herself, unafraid, as though this weren't her first experience with a dead body, nor is she especially amazed to see the body, and/or, turn into a piece of it by stepping into the…

The appetitive element comes from the desire to look at the dead bodies, which he knows is wrong, yet he desires to look at them. The spirited element comes into play as he furiously yells at his own eyes for giving in to such the desire. This shows conflict within an individual that can occur in all. However, this is…
