William Hogarth is one of the greatest English painters. In his pictures he reflected social life and in many of them the beauty of his painting was accompanied by satire. The “Marriage-a-la-Mode”, “The Election Entertainment” were painted to show the life very satirically. In 1742 Hogarth painted “The Graham Children” where he brilliantly used his delicate colours to show the charm of childhood.

Some people have good memories and easily learn long poems by heart. But they often forget them quickly. Other people remember things when they say them over and over. A good memory is a great help.
The best way to remember things is to join them in our mind with something which we know already.
The human mind is like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
