Novel
The Master and Margarita - Critique
Bulgakov’s novel is arguably the world’s best-known work by a modern Russian writer. However, Bulgakov would have been horrified that his “novel of temptation by evil” became a mass culture commodity. He wrote it for one reader - Stalin - pleading to set free dissident writers kept in lunatic asylums.

Challenging Yourself to Overcome Writer's Block
A critique challenge? Just 50 words? Not sure about this. Seems interesting but hard. Fifty one words! Gotta cut something. That was fun. Another day. Too many positive ones. Should probably balance it with something else. Let me take it to the extreme, and see how many I can write?

National Geographic
What do you do when you don’t have the money to travel? You get a window, that's what you do. Sometimes you buy the window. But when you can't, you borrow it from the library. That’s what National Geographic was for me as a child. The window of my dreams.

Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can
Perhaps I am ignorant of how modern art works. Or just perhaps not interpreting the work of Andy Warhol correctly. But I have never understood why his painting of soup cans was so significant. And I am sure the person that created the designs for Campbells was no more impressed.
