The Mirror Image Lena Cokley

Decent Essays
The story I have chosen to do this project is called the ‘’Mirror Image’’ by Lena Coakley. In this short story the protagonist is a 14-year-old teenager called Alice who undergoes a brain transplant because she had gotten caught in a fatal car accident resulting in her body being severely damaged and the only thing left working was her brain which got put in a 16-year old girls body who had recently passed away. The pictures I have used to create my collage all represent something important in the story and for Alice. The first picture I have on my collage is a car, I chose to have this on collage because the whole story line would not have existed without the lethal accident that distorted Alice’s body and killed her father so the car was

    My project consists of a PowerPoint with slides that contain images and text that visually represent “The Hate You Give” by Angie Thomas. These images include colors and symbols that allow the audience to see the meaning and purpose of the text. These images are also placed in a chronological order that allow the audience to experience danger, violence, power, unity, and corruption as the story unfolds. Overall, the author, Angie Thomas, wrote the story to present events from a perspective of a Black teenage girl to help see things through a different telescope. The second slide contains an image of the cover of the book.…

    Last paragraph- In “The Wreck of the Ole 97”, I see a steam train racing across the canvas. Coming from the other direction, there is a wagon being pulled by a horse. The wagon seems to be moving very fast and there is a woman falling off of the back of it. The colors appear realistic at first, but are all lacking complex value.…

    In the article, “Wicked Thoughts”, by Jena Pincott, published in Psychology Today, Pincott describes how common and normal it is to have these disturbing, abnormal, and “wicked” thoughts. These thoughts were categorized into 5 divisions; morbid, creepy thoughts, sexually perverse thoughts, prejudiced thoughts, schadenfreude, and violent, murderous thoughts. An opening example of a common wicked thought was “we value our lives and those of others but still have the fleeting impulse to drive the car off the bridge” (Pincott 1). After many discomforting and fascinating examples for each of these categories, the psychologists that researched certain aspects of wicked thoughts came up with many remedies to help stop these dangerous thoughts. This…

    While Hillary Clinton was the first woman to run for the United States presidential with the sponsorship of a large party, Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for the president of the United States in 1872 which was 144 years ago, and 50 years before women had the right to vote. The political life of Woodhull paints a picture of the challenges that women have faced in politics which are mirrored by other women, including Hillary Clinton. The two share similar political stands, especially when it comes to the national conversation of having strong stands concerning family, labor and as well as issues concerning women. They established lifelong projects to come up with emerging channels of communication. They also faced similar challenges,…

    Composers construct images to draw an emotional response from responders and exposes them to mew ideas and perspectives. Visuals in texts are a powerful tool to reshape understandings of specific ideas and draw us into their experience. Judith Beverage uses the observation of an animal, a giraffe in Domesticity of Giraffes and a spider in The Orb Spider and uses this as an inspiration to comment on the beauty and order of the natural world and the result of interfering with this balance. Doris Lessing explores the conflicting feelings about the transition from childhood to adulthood, taking a moment in a young boy’s life for her symbolic short story Through the Tunnel. Using a variety of techniques, both composers construct powerful images…

    Everyone at some point in their life has an issue dealing with self-identity. Whether it has to do with personal beliefs, or losing a loved one, everyone goes through it. We all have a time where we just want to figure out who we really are, and I mean that could take years. I went through that phase most of my years here at Fort. I tried being friends with everyone, and after a while I started to realize that maybe some of the people that I was hanging out with weren’t the best influence on me and on my faith.…

    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,…

    Letter to the Editor In Hooked on a Myth, Victoria Braithwaite states that “fish suffer.” I have a pet fish of my own who swims contently in its own little bowl. I never harmed the little fish because I believe that all living organisms feel pain. It is true that fish do not holler out when pricked like dogs and cats; however, they do make an attempt to avoid danger by escaping it.…

    I am particularly proud of the portfolio piece titled “Storyboard Photography - Model Car”. This was a very personal project to me, and I wondered how could I represent and photograph instances of the lifelong adventures I’ve had with my mother’s car. Discovering a replica model car, I realized I would be able to make sets to photograph the car’s story. This story takes place during a seasonal shift, and to show that I had to create appropriate environments. Any household resources I found were at my disposal: shaving cream and flour could appear as snow, a burning incense stick cleverly placed made the effect of smoke emerging from a crashed car, a corner in my basement looked just like a repair shop if decorated enough, and a clothes tag…

    Hannah Webster Foster elaborates on gender expectations in her novel, “The Coquette”. The main characters Eliza Wharton and Major Sanford are examples of how society is very strict on gender norms. For example, from birth society is quick to picture an infant male with the color blue and a female infant with the color pink. This shows how men and women are socialized from birth. The novel also explains how men and women have double standards.…

    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…

    In the early history of art, female artists were uncommon and denied of the same amount of credit for their talents as their male counterparts. It was a rare occurrence for female artists to paint portraits of themselves, however in the 16th and 17th century we begin to see a shift in this trend. In the Netherlands during the 16th century, Dutch artist, Judith Leyster used oil on canvas to paint a portrait of herself, titled Self-Portrait (1635). The Self-Portrait features Leyster, a young woman, looking directly at the viewer whilst painting a scene of a man playing the violin. Leyster owned an art workshop and was the only female in the Dutch Republic to sell her paintings in the market during that era.…
