Water Observation
Note taking
In the field where the stream flows, and the water falls into the pond is where I did my observation. I took the time to sit on my property, at my grandparents house, which is located in the country side. I sat on a wooden bench over looking running water for 30 minutes observing the wilderness, and the surrounding sounds. The water was flowing fast down stream, with an abundance of rocks in the water. The water was completely clear, and made a rushing sound as it moved. I could see small fish swimming in the water. There was a bridge that went over the stream. The bridge was made of wood, and had a three pole, metal banister. On top of the banister was a wooden plank topped with flowerbeds. I could hear the birds chirping, but couldn’t see them. There were chickens outside, picking

One dog was small and white. The other dog was brown and large. They ran around jumping over one another, barking, and playing with a tennis ball. I heard a few growls out of the dogs, when they were playing. The dogs would run through the group of chickens, with their tongues hanging out of there mouths. The chickens flew in the air making screeching noises. There were two people in the near distance splitting wood. Both people were men, and they were each wearing black jackets, blue jeans, baseball cap hats, and yellow gloves. The man on the left was short, heavy weight, and the man on the right was skinny and tall. The woodcutter machine looked very big, and was red. One man split the wood, while the other man stacked the wood. There was a grey Ford F250 truck on the left of both men, and the wood splitter. The one tall man was putting wood in the back of the truck. There was a big house, with smoke coming out of the chimney. There was a smell of a burning wood in the air from the smoking chimney. The house had grey siding, with a maroon roof made of tin. I could see a screened porch that was extended from the house. There were stairs coming out of the porch

    Over time Elia Kazan’s On The Waterfront has become recognized as one of the greatest movies of all time. Many site the use of method acting or Kazan’s personal affinity with the tale of a whistleblower as reasons to engage in this film. I find the most interesting analysis to be on how Kazan implemented various visual elements to add depth to the characters. This is achieved through elements of mis en scene giving a visual representation for the theme of control, that others fight to hold over Terry.…

    Snow started to shower as if on a peaceful rainy night and I look for any opening, trying to escape this creature that was following me. I could make out a large building figure ahead and ran directly to it, exhorting my energy as I advanced through the shivers in my body and aching bloodstained legs. An old tainted church-like mansion appeared as the fog cleared and I forced my way up the frigid sleet hill and onto a rusty pavement beside the building. I leaned upon the 5-metre tall wooden door trying to hear any sound coming from inside the outsized building, trying to sense any civilisation as the sky slowly turned into a rich black shade. I knocked onto the polished door, trying to depict a reaction from the owner that might've lived in this secluded place. Lights started to rapidly appear above the door and forming a luminous loop around the entire mansion, whilst the door blew open with such force that I was knocked back onto my spine. I tried to scamper away on my knees as a spine-chilling sensation started to form from what was a supernatural…

    There I am sitting in my canoe, I close my eyes and just listen. I listen to the trees swaying in the breeze, the raindrops pitter-patting on my coat, the movement of the paddle as it dips into the water. I picture the beautiful autumn foliage that surrounds me as leaves gently fall from the tree onto the surface of the water and make a print on the water, even if it is only there for a second. As English writer William Hazlitt once said “We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.” This is how I felt out on the river during our trip, I felt like I could really understand and appreciate the beauty and serene peace of being one with nature. I also felt like I could appreciate the care that it takes to keep…

    Trouble the Water is not solely about Hurricane Katrina and its calamitous aftermath, but it is an honest, raw footage that displayed how America treats its poor and displaced citizens, particularly in time of dire need. Given U. S impressive response to humanitarian crises, and use of the top of the line gadgets to combat enemies in war-torn zones, the disappointing non-governmental response in New Orleans begs to question the capability of the U.S to response to disaster within its own country. A closer look at the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina will reveal the unfortunate truth of negligence, overt racism and insensitivity. Though all encompassing, this essay examines the documentary from the lens of structural violence as it relates to the general poor and African American.…

    Now the atmosphere of my world seems bleak and dull as if I’m living in a horror film, I wasn’t the only one affected by this, the horrible atmosphere washed over the people of this town. Adding to this atmosphere it rained more often. The rain would bring with it an eerie fog that would sneak between everything like an ominous snake. The whole setting sent a chill down my spine every time I stepped foot outside of my house. As if the fog wasn’t enough, the woods that surrounded the town were just hair-raising. I swore I could hear noises, noises unlike any woodland creatures. They sounded almost human, but not quite. The trees themselves moved in quite an abnormal fashion, as if they were live soul bearing creatures. My heart skipped a beat whenever a branch creaked, I began to become very paranoid.…
