Sarah Unger is a freshmen at Princeton University. She hails from Berwyn, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. Sarah attended boarding school at St. Andrew's School in Delaware (the little known site of the filming of the infamous boarding school movie "Dead Poets Society") where there really wasn't anything around except cornfields. As such, the booming metropolis of Princeton has been quite an excitement for her this year.
Sarah first took an interest in Impressionism during her first trip to the Musee D'Orsay in Paris. She has since visited many museums and seen far too many Renoir's than one could ever have hoped to see in a lifetime. She chose to write her research paper on Gauguin because she knew nothing about him and was tired of the pastel colors of the early Impressionists, opting instead for Gauguin's bold exotic colors of Tahiti. She would like to acknowledge her "Introduction to the Study of Gender" class for helping as an added inspiration for this paper and apologizes for the fact that most of her papers in this writing seminar ended up being feminist critiques. Apparently the class was really just that good.
