    The Red Tree depicts a young girl moving about her days almost consumed by depression and sadness. However Tan indicates that even when things seem overwhelming there is hope for a better day. In illustration ___ we see the salient image of a young girl trapped in a bottle by her oversized diving helmet. Her posture clearly indicates that she is unhappy and the bottle is slowly filling with water. There is no chance of escape as her oversized helmet clearly will not fit out the narrow neck of the bottle. Tan’s effective use of dark blue and grey further conveys the sombre mood and difficulty the young girl is facing. Through effective use of vector lines the viewer’s eyes are drawn along the horizon to contrasting white clouds, symbolising perhaps that there is hope on the horizon. Tan further emphasizes the sadness consuming the protagonist in illustration __. The salient image of a gigantic fish hangs over the young girl walking alone along a city street. The fish’ gaping mouth creates a vector line to the young girl who is hunched over and clearly unhappy, as she remains in the shadow of the fish while everyone else goes about their business ignoring her. Again, Tan’s…

    Ann Carson

    Who is Ann Carson? Why do I have to read this anyway? I really didn’t see the point in it. For one thing, the writer lost me after the introduction. I was then asked to find the meaning in what Ann Carson was trying to say, to me. It was very hard reading Short Talks. Confusion twists and turns. It was like going through the “fun house at a carnival.” Just imagine. Before you go any further there’s a “big turning barrel” (her introduction) that already had me “slipping and sliding” and falling. I eventually crawled out of it. Then I climbed up the “rickety stairs made out of chains” (the next Short Talk). There 's the big goofy mirror” that’s all distorted and everything. Reading Short Talks again and again and again, seemed like an exercise in futility. Or, was it… really? One thing was certain. I seriously had a headache from the first readings.…

    In “The Telephone,” Accawi tells of his childhood in the town of Magdaluna. A small town where they had no concept of time and just lived by the days. He described the setting of where the story had taken place-which creates the felling of something real. The village of Magdaluna was overcome by the telephone. The villagers did not have much, and technology was very new to them. They judged time by certain events that happened. For example, an earthquake, or the birth of an important person would be sufficient to get a feel of time concepts.…

    Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest. People can watch funny videos, post about their days, like or comment, and share photos about events we have attended or things we have done. The internet has provided infinite ways we can connect with others and share what is on our minds. How often, though, do we stop and think of the consequences that our actions online could bring? Many people have adopted the concept of “click first, think later”. Youth today rely heavily on their online presence to create their identity. At times, the older generation wonders if they have the capacity to have a face-to-face conversation or if they would rather remain at an arm’s length or even anonymous. While the advantage of social media is found in the very name: social; the disadvantage is the substitute of the online presence for deep abiding relationships that grow through conversation, common experiences, and at some times, suffering.…

    A Woman's Beauty

    • 419 Words
    • 1 Page

    In reading Susan Sontag's "A Woman's Beauty", she explains that women think they have an obligation to be beautiful and that they consider how they look more important than who they are. Sontag also adds that women are sometimes obsessed with their outer beauty that they lose sight of their inner beauty. Fashion and the Media both have taken outer beauty way too far for women. In this society today, women are more pressured by other women on how they look. Women judge other women about their looks but men don't do the same, because it is considered" unmanly" as Sontag states. Women naturally try to be appropriate and beautiful to attract men. Unfortunately, they have gone to very high levels of obsession with themselves that they lost track of their purpose of being beautiful and their position in this society. Sontag also argues that women at the same time have the idea in their minds that being beautiful will earn them a certain reputation and place in society, and that beauty brings power and success. Even young women grow up have these same ideas in their minds and according to Sontag, "they are taught to see their bodies in parts and to evaluate each part separately". In modern days beauty is administered as a form of self-oppression. In the process of growing up, young women may forget how intelligent they are and their goals in life. According to some people who have been surveyed about women's success in the society, good looks are a great advantage in many areas of life. Let's go back to the point that women try to make themselves beautiful to attract the best men possible. Women forget that beauty is also the power to attract. In women's view, men come in whole packages together with being handsome and successful. On the other hand, men just want just want healthy and decent women with good personality. Susag Sontag's essay is indeed very accurate in revealing some important facts about women's beauty and the way the society looks at…
