I'm writing an essay on The Pillowman for a lit. class. One thing that has come up in my paper is a negative impact of art. In the play, the main character writes horrific stories about children being murdered, and reads these to his "slow" brother. His brother then, acts out these horrific murders on three children in the town, because he thought his writer-brother was telling him to. It also says that he wanted to see if what his writer-brother wrote could work, because they seem far fetched.

Obviously, this guy's art had a negative impact on his brother. But, I don't know what to say about it. I want to talk about it, but I really don't know what to say! I don't think art should be sensored, but this is a REALLY bad impact that art had on someone.

How do you feel about this? Should an artist take into consideration what impact his art may have? Or does the artist have no responsiblity?

If the pharaoh Hatshepsut was removed from history, then how do they know she ever existed. They say that her half-son ordered her to be erased, but if he did then all official records would have been erased. Her monuments and her tomb were hidden and all mention of her was carved out. So how do they know that she was a good ruler or that she ever ruled at all?

That would be really horrible...I've never heard of anyone writing a book after the original author was dead. That takes an amazing amount of audacity!!!

I am putting a book together of off the wall random thoughts. And I do mean random. It's going fairly well and I am thinking about even getting it published or something. Does anyone have any random thoughts? If you want I can put your name in it too.

I want to know some good acting techniques that have helped you out. Ideally it would be nice if they were ones you could do in the comfort of your home and usually without a large amount of people. Thanks a lot!

My main point here is that if perspective changes so much and could vary so much is there any real social truths.

This is one I wrote a few years back.
The Knife by Yoselis Ramos

Trying to find someone who can relinquish the pain
To just take the remorse away
Trying to find the refuge to ecstacy
Im tired of all the tears, the pain- so deep
When will I find serenity?

Starting to get desperate
As the knife gets through deeper
Wondering if anyone can see the expression
That lies on the visage of my heart
As i cover away my tear

Full of sorrow, fear, and frustration
Tired so much of the suffering
Trying to find someone with the consolation
Someone with the courage to reach out
And remove the knife from my heart
In need of help
Of someone who wont tare me apart
Wishing you knew just how I've felt

The knife, stabbing my soul as the sharp edge
Begins to create crimson tears
Having words all around me
Many saying it was just a waste
Can I believe what was being said
Was loving you a mistake
You took my heart and soul
Now lies an empty space- a hole

How do evolutionists answer to the fact that DNA proves that no species has ever evolved from another? The best that DNA can do is say that species have changed to meet the ever changing environment and to better meet survival of the species.

It looks like a renaissance painting of a saintly figure with a knife stuck in his head in a very slapstick kind of way, but I believe the painting is actually from the renaissance era.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a series of these paintings, and I saw a glimpse of them in an art history course and loved them, but haven't gotten a hold of the professor to ask him for the name of the painting and artist's name...I need a print of this thing on my wall :)

Thanks!
