I have an interest in Greek mythology, and I like to see how stories are brought to life through pictures. It is interesting to see how one interprets stories into to a visual form. I especially like the usage of color in this painting. My favorite part of the painting is the two angles. The way the blue wrap is entangled between the two angles shows how graceful the wind is that is bringing Venus to the shore.
I was wrong to think that the mangroves created some sort of movement to the islands because the author never states how the mangroves portray movement nor flow to the island. The author really describes the skill of survival the mangroves have in order to live on this island. In addition, there is no text to prove that D is the correct answer. Why B: B is clearly the best answer. In lines 1-2, the author describes the mangroves as “artists of the beautiful” because the circumstances are unique yet harsh on the island that they live on.
The word ‘stab’ used reminds readers of blood and shows how bright that red shirt is compared to pale sky. Second example of imagery is shown in line, “The beach glows grainy under the sun's copper pressure, air the colour of tangerines” (Woman on a Beach, 7). This is an example of figurative imagery. Michaels is making the comparison of the colour of the air to that of the colour of tangerines describing the sunset. Readers are able to visualize the intensity of the sun’s heat with the word, “glow”, because sun’s rays are radiating against the sand and creating a “glow”.
It is mostly blue skies and is really hot. The viewer can actually feel the heat if imagination was to be put into perspective. L. Caton did a great job in detail with the cattle and horses. This painting sort of has the real feeling in what is going on in the picture. Even thought both paintings or portraying the general idea of the open range and the wild west, each one seems to tell a different story.
Everett also uses directional focus in both drawings, but in different ways. In “Spring in San Diego” Everett use the woman’s eyes mysteriously leading off the page to make the viewer wonder what she is staring at. However in “Cotton Pickers of East Texas” Everett uses the directional focus of the cotton plants at the bottom of the drawing to lead you up toward the cotton pickers. Same element of art, just used in different
I had clothes, and they had none. I decided [this] was what it meant to be a slave…you had no claim on [your] future” (pg.192). I think that Lindo is a good man. He tried to save Aminata from Appleby and he swore he tried to buy her baby too but Appleby didn’t want that to happen. I honestly think his intensions are good, but the people around him are not.
Paul does not feel that he is accepted in the world he lives in and so he uses art as an escape from reality. This allows Paul to be in a world that he feels accepted and also a place where he feels he belongs. On page 123 Cather writes “After a while he sat back before a blue Rico and lost himself.” When Paul “loses himself” he is escaping the reality of the world that he lives in. He does this to feel like he belongs rather than not fit in. The satisfaction he
And in essence he became a self-fulfilling prophecy. His society declared homosexuals “incapable of forming satisfying relationships” (Duberman 27), Duberman believed conversion by psychotherapy was his only hope for happiness, and ultimately he was unable to stay committed to his relationships. He would give in to his homosexual desires for a night, seek therapy for his ‘sickness’ the next day, and deny himself the happiness he felt the night before, ergo hell in letting other
Nick’s dream is to live a new life, be a bondsman, and have peace for the summer. However, because of his contradictory beliefs, he cannot fully attain his dream. For instance, Nick says he is “inclined to reserve all judgments” (Fitzgerald 1) but yet, he still judges people internally. Because he is contradictory, he cannot live his dream. At one point, I believe his dream was to date Jordan Baker, but even that was contradictory because he claimed to not like dishonesty, yet Jordan is probably the most dishonest character in the book.
But In 1987 gay marriage was not being thought of, there was no place in America where homosexuals could marry, this gave Jerry more ease in being adamantly opposed to this AIDS positive homosexual who moved home to die. Jerry’s views on the subject where imbedded in him from his upbringing, but that does not make them right. Jerry’s views are an excellent example of home grown
