Analysis Of Vision Shift

Improved Essays
For my book analysis I chose to write about Vision Shifts by Carol Barton. I was originally drawn to this book due to the striking usage of photography on the cover. As a fellow visual enthusiast I’m always interested in the reasoning behind an artist’s decisions. After opening the book I was fascinated by how the imagery continued flawlessly throughout; as a reader it gave me a sense of movement. Flipping through this book made me feel as though I was up early on a foggy morning and decided to go on a walk through the surrounding area. When I actually read through the book one of the cards Barton included actually thanked two of her friends for letting her photograph them on their morning walk. I didn’t expect the inside of the book to be

The photos of "Map foolery" and the "True Size of Africa" surprised me, since I had never considered that my perception of the continents size could be so skewed. It brings up the question of why maps continue to be presented in the way they are.

    Cask vs. Leap If you’re getting walled into a cellar I feel bad for you son, but I got 99 problems but Amontillado ain 't one. Whether locked in a closed room in underground catacombs or in a burning house, it is an unfortunate event that many people are fortunate to not have experienced. Even so, in Cask Of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe and The Leap by Louise Erdrich, both events happen. These stories, in addition to having exciting and overall interesting plots, have many great examples of literary elements such as foreshadowing and dramatic irony that make them even more interesting.…

    During our life’s journey, our experiences and relationships we have with others are often the most memorable when we are able to see things in a new way. However, such memories and relationships we have with others stick with us so strongly that we will forever see certain people and events the same way, with an unchanged perspective. Monumental moments, such as a loved one’s death in “Violets,” by Gwen Harwood does not alter the persona’s view of their parents. In contrast, the persona in “Violets” is able to reflect on the memories of herself as a child and her relationship with her parents in another light. At some point in our personal journey, our childlike innocence is often shaken and we are forced to mature into adulthood.…

Explicitly, an individual can be presented with identical photographs, but one has a minor difference. Change blindness is regarded as the cause if a participant doesn't manage to discern the change between the pictures.…

    Through awareness, we create change, and sometimes it takes an unforeseeable encounter with a peculiar individual, to ignite our awareness, and educate our perception. It’s up to us to accept the awareness and allow the change or to be aware and avoid the change. The Narrator in “Cathedral”, by Raymond Carver, experiences awareness through Robert, the blind man. Similarly, Victor in “This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona”, by Sherman Alexie, finds realization, through the company of Thomas, a childhood friend.…

    In John Berger’s book Understanding a Photograph, he argues that there is a distinct discontinuity between an individual viewing a photo, and the actual photo.

Although there is a definite connection between a photograph and the narrative that corresponds with it, the photo is only a visual aid for the story; it does not tell us everything like the written piece does. I agree with Berger’s argument that photographs can shape the written story that is told about a single character through invoking various responses, emotions, feelings, and interpretations between the…

When I was younger, I never liked to read, but now as I have gotten older, I read more and more different kinds of books and novels. My mother put my sister and me into a reading program in elementary school because our reading levels were lower than they should be. There were no criteria so we read books that were interesting to us, like the Given Tree by Shel Silverstein and Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White. When we finished reading them we would go around and talk about the book we read.…
