Abstraction indicates a departure from reality, existing along a continuum.
Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable.
Figurative art and total abstraction are almost mutually exclusive. But figurative and realistic art often contain partial abstraction.

Environment
Why the electric vehicle charger? Because Gary is sold on the environmental benefits of electrifying transportation. And he was looking at ways to contribute more toward easing the climate crisis by making the use of battery powered vehicles more convenient.

He turned to Stephen and said:
—Seriously, Dedalus. I’m stony. Hurry out to your school kip and bring us back some money.
—That reminds me, Haines said, rising, that I have to visit your national library today.
—Our swim first, Buck Mulligan said.”

Descendant of the wild ass, the donkey is a domestic member of the horse family used for hauling goods since 4000 BC.
Donkeys are also related to zebras, although they’re often stockier, stronger and have much different personalities.
Female donkeys are called “jennies” or “jennets,” and a female ready to breed is known as a “broodmare.”
Ass is interchangeable with donkey, and “jackass” refers specifically to a male donkey. But a jackass is not a mule, and all burros are not jackasses.
