    In the Trenches

    In literature sensory imagery is used to evoke emotions in the reader or to bring the text to life. In his essay, In the Trenches, Charles Yale Harrison does so by descriptively retelling his experience of fighting in World War I. As I read the vivid narrative, images were wrought in my mind. The writer’s use of sensory imagery was not only astonishingly effective in drawing out emotional response, but also in bringing the story to life.…

    The Job Ghetto By Katherine Newman And Chauncy Lennon

    One of the first quotes from “The Job Ghetto,” by Katherine Newman and Chauncy Lennon, suggest that the student who made the statement is a naive observer. The student suggested, “If people want to bad enough, they can get a job and make something of themselves. It might not be a great job, but at least, it’s a job. No one has to be poor in this society” (Newman and Lennon, 1995, 347). The student doesn’t quite understand the factors and variables that come into play when one goes out and searches for a job.…

    Harvey Parson War

    For my Parson’s Challenge, I chose to further develop the theme of my painting, War. Originally, it had been a singular exploration of color and texture, centered around the negative feelings associated with the color red. My new piece, Confusion, focuses on the unfavorable connotations that the color yellow possesses. The goal of this collection was to capture the instinctual impressions behind the colors, through brush technique painting style, without stating it outright. I felt the best way to do this would be through an abstract composition.…

    Sylvester Balboa once said, “Literature often teaches the individual that what one sees is often mistaken for the truth.” In other words things are not always as they seem. From the outside things can be perceived differently than they actually are. In order to show this is true one must examine two points. First, in The Body of Christopher Creed by Carol Plum-Ucci shows that things are not always as they seem. Second, in the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell shows that this idea also pertains to the short story. After seeing these examples it will be clear how this idea is true.…

    The Museum of Vain Endeavours

    How serious people can be in their endeavors but can’t see the realities of it all. Virginia becomes arrogant in her seriousness. For example, the quote “I tried inviting her to come for a walk…she’ll only talked to me within the grey, dusty walls of the museum. (pg.27)” reveals with an irony which refers that people take some intentions seriously, but don’t know ho to deal with them. Human’s mishaps explain that people try to find their purposes and meanings, but ends with meaningless things.…

    Pleasantville

    In the movie Pleasantville, a brother and sister from modern day became part of a black and white ‘50s television show called Pleasantville. This was done using a special remote given to the main character David, by a TV repairman. In the beginning David believed Pleasantville should remain the same. Pleasantville was his utopia; he thought everything was perfect. His sister Jenn was determined to change Pleasantville. Jenn thought people acted like losers, and wanted them to be “cool”. David later realized things should change because people did not show their emotions in Pleasantville, and had no way to express them. When people in Pleasantville showed their emotions, they changed from black and white to color. By the end of the movie, everything was in color because of David. People had learned to show their emotions. The creator of this movie was trying to communicate the message that emotions make things more interesting. This statement is true for Pleasantville and writing. In Pleasantville people would change to color when they showed their emotions. Bill expressed his emotions through painting colorful pictures. David gained his color when he got angry and punched Whitey. Emotions are put into writing to add detail. At Lover's Lane people reading books became colored and the listeners remained black and white. If people incorporate emotions into their writing it will help get the reader's attention and make the plot more interesting. This movie relates to our critical analysis essay. The idea of perception versus reality is conveyed throughout the movie. David thought Pleasantville was perfect when he watched it on television. When he became part of the show he found it had many flaws. The citizens of Pleasantville believed there was nothing outside of Pleasantville; in reality there was a lot. In reality, bad things can happen. When the tree caught on fire, the firefighters did not know how to deal with it because there had never been a fire in…

    The world can be perceived in a number of ways and no one man or woman has the same perception of the world. This difference can be expressed through the writing of two Native Americans, N.S Momaday and D. Brown. Both of the writers use diction, imagery, and tone. However, they used them completely differently and conveyed different descriptions from two completely similar landscapes.…

    The Island- by Armin Greder

    The page following the book’s title depicts a scene at sea. The whole image is washed with a dark blue from the sky to the ocean, and the crashing waves convey a menacing journey has taken place. At the bottom of the page, if one looks closely, it is evident that the bottom of the wooden raft has been drawn but blends into the rest of the image. This inclusion of the raft changes the perspective of the image as the responder is now been positioned as if they were looking out from the raft, the place of the Man. An immediate bond has now been formed between the responder and the man, and for the rest of the text we continue to sympathise with him.…

    The audience gains a greater understanding and appreciation of the consequences and societal issues presented through the author’s texts of changing perspectives. This greater understanding is represented by a wide range of language techniques showing the quality of a change of perspective in life. In the short story ‘Forgotten Jelly’ by Megan Jacobson, it demonstrates how an individual understands the consequences and issues while time progresses, which in turn leads to a change of perspective. Likewise, in the poem ‘Mending Wall’ by Robert Frost, we observe how, as the characters develop, they understand and gradually learn more about the perspective of others and eventually leading to a change of their previous views.…

    The daily scream therapy of my neighbour in the shower does not fail to act as an alarm clock every morning. This daily “alarm clock” was a good enough reason to not succumb into the pressure of calling the police. The rhythmic sound of everyone’s steps outside gave birth to the gravel, small as peas which moved beneath their feet and from it a faint dust rose, the perfume of the town. This perfume I had to get used to now, this perfume I will smell for the years to come. This foreign town was now my new home, away from all the sadness, unfulfilled relationships and the past, a town full of versatile people, some doctors, some painters, some chocolatiers and some farmers, all with big houses towering over them. A town still rich with bicycles and kids playing in the streets early in the morning, the streets filled with the aroma of bread this all felt very new to me, I was a city dweller, this made me feel great unease.…

    Personal Essay In Response to “Musee des Beaux Arts”

    Many times we don’t realize some things that may be going on in world, or maybe just around our city, or maybe in our school, or maybe even in our own home. Yet there are other times when we can see things that others can’t when we notice something that others don’t, when we know there is something we can do to help but others can’t. Similarly there was the time where I saw a certain Icarus drowning in the sea as others just walked by, such as in the events of the poem “Musee des Beaux Arts”, by W. H. Auden.…
