Both of them have their own story to tell and their story are different from each other, yet they both managed to go to the same ending. On Van Gogh’s side of the story, by using the darker side of color wheel, that represent the inner part of his fantasy. Adding the wave-like rapid flow of brush strokes, which show us that the inner part of his mind was in darkness. He can leave the painting as it without adding the yellow moon and stars, but that touches of yellow is the way of him telling us that how it brighten his inner heart. Same happen with

    Color: The painting has a combination of complimentary colors that give the piece a warm look. For instance, the yellow and orange provides light to the composition and also add a visual depth to it because both colors reflect the scheme of a peaceful night. In addition, the blue in the sky beautifully portrays harmony throughout the painting, and the black in the background perfectly contrasts with the blue in the sky and the circled white brush strokes…

    Through encountering horrific events during his life, Elie Wiesel has discovered, “When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity”. Elie Wiesel was a survivor of the Holocaust; in May 1944, when Wiesel was only 15 years old, the Nazis deported him and his family to Auschwitz, a concentration camp in Poland. His mother and the youngest of his three sisters died at Auschwitz, while he and his father were later transported to another camp, Buchenwald, located in Germany. Throughout reading Night I’ve learned from the perspective of a victim himself how life-ruining the Holocaust had become.

    Robert Frost Robert Frost, most famous for such works as “The Road Not Taken” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” inspired the world with his poetry. Because most of the time he was coping with the death of a loved one, a large majority of his poems contemplate the purpose of life and what comes after death, simultaneously reflecting his constant feelings of isolation and grief. Born on March 26, 1874, to William Prescott Frost Jr. and Isabelle Modie Frost, Robert Frost lived in San Francisco for the first eleven years of his life. His mother introduced him to Shakespeare and other similar literature at an early age, instilling in him an early passion for reading and learning.…

    In the excerpt, “Let There be Dark” the author, Paul Bogard, clearly states his viewpoint that [darkness is an irreplaceable value]. Bogard uses real world examples, rhetorical questioning as well as figurative diction to stress to his audience his strong belief that natural darkness should be preserved. Towards the middle of the excerpt, Bogard includes a rhetorical question that persuades his readers to also value darkness as much as he does. “In a world awash with electric light...how would Van Gogh have given the world his ‘Starry Night’?” This question allows readers the opportunity to think back on the famous artwork, Starry Night and imagine the lack of beauty it would hold without the enhancement of darkness.…

    Scholar R.J. Raack is for “film as history” by arguing that the traditional written history is too narrow to focus on the complexity of it. Raack states that film is the most appropriate medium for because, “Only film can provide an adequate "empathetic reconstruction to convey how historical people witnessed, understood, and lived their lives. " Only film can "recover all the past 's liveliness” (1176). Furthermore, he believes this because of film’s ability to juxtapose images and sound and the editing techniques to convey history. In contrast scholar Ian Jarvie believes that film is not a meaningful way to portray history due to the lack of information and discursive weakness because film, “[…] does not consist primarily of "a descriptive…

Perhaps she is contemplating the simplicity and fact of what it’s like to be a fish swaying in a fishbowl.…
