Improved Essays
This essay is about looking at the picture and describing only the things I see. Not only that, I have to also tell what really happen in the three pictures make sure they link together and see how I can relate John Wideman’s story in mines with quotes. I have chosen three pictures one of me standing in the hallway of my room, a picture of my room, and a picture of my TV and hallway. In these three picture there is a story behind all of them describing what I was about to do. In picture one it is a picture of a man standing in a hallway with black and blue on. The man looks like he is holding his hand out to get something. His shoes are all black and have a silver thing on the shoe strings. There is a brown door behind him that has two long …show more content…
My TV was own because after my first picture from walking in the room tired I sat down and watched TV. There is a speaker on the side of my TV and I use it for Bluetooth and surround sound. The black cord from the TV leads to my speaker, which makes my sound play from the TV to the speakers. In the corner of my room is a blue chair for anyone that comes in my room and needs a seat. The chair is very comfortable to everyone and most people like the color. Speaking of chair earlier I said at the bottom of my picture was something wooden. Well that wooden thing is a chair that came with the room it is hard and brown. There is one last picture that looks like to basically end this story and night. Looking at the picture I can see a laptop that looks to be open and being used. A hard brown two leg chair is sitting in the middle of the floor and in front of a desk. This looks to be a room for a person to lay their head down because there is a bed with orange sheets and a blue cover. The curtain is on the side of the picture and it is also blue. A white box fan is the last thing I see sitting on top of a desk, but it is not spinning so I am assuming it is not …show more content…
It is junky with things everywhere the bed is not made up and the chair is pulled out. My bed has orange and blue sheets and covers because I attend Savannah State University and they are the school colors. My laptop is open is open because I was just doing work on it late this night. Where it is sitting at is my work area and all of my work is done in this spot. I took this picture of my room because it shows you what I was going to do next and that was getting into it and head to sleep. The story behind all three of these photos is about what I do from day to day. I walked in the room from a tiring day at work and watch TV for about thirty minutes. There is a show that I watch every night around 10:00 pm and that show is called George Lopez. After the show I jump up and does all of my last minute work on the desk that’s in my room. The story ends with my bed the picture of my bed was supposed to tell the final thing I was going to do. I didn’t make up the bed because it’s a reason behind it. The reason was because I was about to get into it and there was no need for me making it up and I was getting into it and it was going to mess up again. In “Our Time,” John Wideman scripts an erratic story line in an attempt to communicate the emotion he felt and what he went through. So in my story I did basically the same thing but our stories was told different but used with the same

    I chose to analyze the The Family - 1941 portray for this essay because I like the usage of the colors on this work. I feel confident analyzing colors in artworks because I learned about the emotions transmitted through colors in various art classes that I took in High School and College. Most art professors like to stress the importance of color in a work of art. They say that the understanding of the usage of the colors in a piece is important when criticizing an artwork. Colors are very important in an art work because it can give away a lot of information about the emotional state of the work.…

    In the essay “Our Time” the author, John Edgar Wideman is trying to show that there is more in the world than what people see through their own perspective. The essay conveys to us that we should take in account of other people’s problems rather than being selfish and worrying about our own hardships. Not to bring about confusion by forgetting our own problems and focus on others, but to be more selfless and help others in worse situations than yourself such as how Robby sees his whole world change once his good friend dies.

    In this passage, Edna hears the voices of her sister, Margaret, and her father. She also heard the sound of a chained up dog barking, the “spurs” of a police officer, and nature, specifically the humming of the bees. The relationship between the makers/sources of these sounds, such as the “sycamore tree,”and the “musky odor,” and the direction in which she gazes, brings memories of home and humble times to Edna’s mind. By appealing to her senses, the sounds warm her heart and it is evident that as Edna is looking into the distance, she realizes she will miss these sounds, rather than just recalling them as “terror[s].” Imagery 4:…

    The idea of a narrative is to tell a story, the events occurring on the day of September 11, 2001 will provide an opportunity to relay my feelings, moving beyond the initial pure and basic anger at those responsible for such a desperate act. The image shows two emergency responders in the cloud of debris left by the collapse of the Trade Centers and what drew me to this picture is what they must have been talking about. The questions and issues I initially considered included: the loss of life; the tremendous devastation; and are there more survivors, where these possibilities could only be confirmed by talking to the individuals in the picture. Instead, I decided that the picture will be used as a metaphor to relay my awareness of the incident,…

    The texts The End of Remembering by Joshua Foer and “The Ordinary Devoted Mother” by Alison Bechdel, while are stylistically very different, addresses the same themes of the memory and one’s self-identity. Foer, while not as cold or detached as a scientific paper, uses a more formal and traditional tone when compared to Bechdel who approaches these themes through the lens of a graphic novel. The result of this gives two very distinct perspective on how memories affect one’s self identity. Foer’s theoretical framework of how memory functions and Bechdel’s more anecdotal approach of the effects of her personal memories on her life, provides two very distinctive perspectives on how the prioritization of memories are connected with the creation…

    Once I was finished reading essays from NPR’s series “This I Believe” I found that the essay “Tomorrow will be a better day” by Josh Rittenberg to be extremely entertaining whereas some other essays lacked the ability to keep me interested. It managed to maintain my interest while still showing to be a great essay to read and analyze. The reason that I believe this is due to the fact that it does well when it comes to the point of grabbing attention with word choice, the way Rittenberg keeps readers focused, and his ability to paint a detailed picture for the reader. Rittenberg does extremely well keeping the reader focused and interest by the words he chooses like instead of energy shortage he uses “devastating energy crisis” or instead of…
