On my visit to Met Mesuem I have great experience but too choose  anything it was hard for me because there are too many paintings but the modern art that I choosed was The “Kearsage” at Boulange,1864 . This art was created by ‘Edouad Manet’. He was born in 1832 into a bourgenoisie household in Paris,France. He started painting at very early age but his parents don’t like his interest. But his uncle supported him and arranged everything that he need to do art and later he father boarded a  naval vessel for Brazil because he hoped that he might have good life but he failed his naval examinations. He repeatedly failing the course and then finally his parents gave up and supported his dream of going to art school.

When I first saw this painting the first thing came into my was fight because when we have a look at the view of painting like how the boats were sinking and also the water waves looks scary. And also it looks like the big ship is destroying everything but when I looked up for this painting I  found that this was the during American civil war , the United States was warship Kearsage made heading after the sinking confederate raiders Alabama off the coast of the France. The Alabama group of people were attacking the merchant vessel for blockad the imposed on ports of North Carolina and they were waiting for it but on Sunday the two ships were met and clashed and sink in a half an hour. Eduard Manet did not see the actual batttle  but he want to make a imaginary panting and i think he did this because he wants to connect people with their history and wants to show the importance of civil war. If we look at the weather of the painting it was clear because there is no cloud in the sky and we can assume that it as summer time But if we look at water it looks waves are going to rise.

I think he has a great talent because he did not see the battle but with his imagination he create this painting  very quickly which grabs people attention and forced them them to think about that time and what will you do to save your life because in the painting  on the boat we can there are many people who were going to sink in the water and will lose their life. But the one question that I have about this painting is that why the painter choose to create small boats instead of big one because  if we looks at water its look like it will sinks easily?

Rabindranath Tagore was born in 1861 in calcutta. He belongs to a rich family, so he went to London to Complete his study and he came back without completing it. He is the first non European to win the Nobel Prize in literature.  He wrote many stories and drama and one of them is Punishment. This story talk about a small family in bangladesh.   In this story there are two brothers who works to feed their family and their wives just stay home and take care of household things. One day dukhiram killed his wife because he was very tired and it was long day for him and after killing her  she blamed everything on brothers wives. At last she confessed everything  and she get hanged.  Through this story we can say that women has no right to speak, they do what there husband told them to do. It clearly show than when he says that you can get another women but not  other brother. we can imagine that how much respect they give to women. I also read the text “A vindication of the rights of women ” by  “Mary wollstonecraft “in this short  story it show that women has no right their job is to just make there family and husband happy by making food for them. Aslo women were not allowed to go outside to get education and  work outside. when I was in India I saw that women just stay home and do their works , they cannot go to buy even single thing. I read stories in which women has no rights and they  cannot go out and also they get married at very early age and they were not asked if they want to marry that guy or no, while men have every right but women were not allowed to go against anyone. during that time women have restrictions not to do this or that while men has all freedom they can enjoy their life but women has to sacrifice everythings . The writing style of  Tagore always continued to bring strong characters of women in their stories. But  as the time passed things are getting changed people were becoming more aware and now  they send their girls to school and they were getting education.  Also they have equal rights as men. I think we all are equal and everyone should be treated with equal respect and there should be no discrimination about race or gender.
