REHUGO Entry #5 http://us.acidcow.com/pics/20110301/satiric_drawings_20.jpg CITATION: Kuczynski, Pawel. "Speech." Online Image. Political Artwork. November 28, 2011. May 13, 2012. PRECIS: Pawel Kuczynski, in this political artwork, expresses his belief that many United States politicians are liars by showing the Washington monument as Pinnochio's nose. PERSONAL COMMENTARY: I thought this was amusing, but overly simplistic in its message. The message expressed in this artwork has become so trite that without specific examples, it's hard to take it seriously.

PRECIS: Pawel Kuczynski, in this artwork, condemns newspaper companies for printing low-quality or untrue stories by showing a front page of a newspaper act as a storm drain. PERSONAL COMMENTARY: Like most of Pawel's artwork, I enjoy the style and found the message amusing. Again, however, I felt the criticism of the media can be overly general and seem whiny. REHUGO Entry #7 CITATION: Thoreau, Henry David. Where I Lived, and What I Lived For. Boston, Massachusetts: Bedford/St. Martin's, 2008. Print. PRECIS: Henry David Thoreau, a father of transcendentalism and famous author, in this essay, criticizes people's general desire to live extravagantly by claiming that meeting only our bare necessities and feeling affinity towards nature is the way to live a fufilled life. PERSONAL COMMENTARY: I understand what Thoreau is trying to say, but I feel that moderation in our lives is the key to fufillment, not complete simplification.
