The first difference I noticed between these two works of art is the clothes. The farmers in the top painting are wearing proper church like clothes. This, to me, says that they are not hurting for money. The farmers in the bottom picture are wearing a more common work outfit that, just by looking at it, you can see that they where meant to last. The second thing I noticed was the expretions on there faces. The first, it looks like they know something is wrong, and they could lose it all at any time. The second, they look like they have already lost it all, and are on there way to recovery. One of the more subtle differences are that the farmer in the top painting is holding a pitch-fork like he wants you to know what he does for a living. The bottom farmer, is slouched and looks kind of bummed that you know what he does for a living.

     Malachai's face was expressionless, but Randy sensed his apprehension. Malachai never before had been asked upstairs to receive his pay. In the office, Randy dropped into the highbacked, leather-coverd swivel chair that had come from his father's chambers. Malachai stood, uncertain. "Sit down," Randy said. Malachai picked the least comfortable straight chair and sat down, not presuming to lean back.

     I like this paragraph because it shows respect. This kid knows to be respectful out of habbit. Even though he has known Randy for many years, he can still see that he is his boss. He can separate personal life from work. If more pepole could do this and still be respectful, this world would be a much better place to live. So come on people, step up and show a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

     Randy nodded. Conquerores knew or sensed this. Caeser had done it, Xerxes, Napoleon, and Hitler failed. "If Xerxes had won at Salamis," he said, "we'd all be speaking Persian-but that was a long time pre-Sputnik, and pre-ICBM. I thought the fight, now, was for space. Who controls space controls the world."

     I chose this paragraph because of the historical references. It mentions all of the great leaders of old. Even if they were nut-so syphcopathes(Hitler). They were great military leaders, that rose to power through there command of the army. Except Xerxes, he was born into it, and thought he was a god-probably do to some bad childhood experience.They all conquored most of Europe in there day. Not hard to do these days, but it was quite a feet for them. I liked the violent references of the discription.
