The sixteenth photo I had taken is a photo of a book by the title of “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell. The reason why I have chosen this photo is because the book has taught me that the little things around us can make a big difference. The seventeenth photo I had taken is a photo of a book called Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. The reason why I have chosen this photo is because it shows how many people who live in the U.S work full-time are receiving poverty- level wages and the author is just mentioning how can people survive under these conditions.

The eighteenth photo I had taken is a book by the name of “who moved my cheese” by Spencer Johnson. The reason why I have picked this photo is because it has taught me changes

    The Last Spike: The Canadian Pacific Railway

    Books are tools which people use find truth and wisdom; pictures are the important role for more understanding. After years and years of improving, pictures have become an important part of readings, especially in the range of Encyclopedia and history; therefore, considering a picture for a certain part in history is critical in different circumstances. For example, consider a picture for CPR, well known as the Canadian Pacific Railway, there are three pictures available: The first one is Canadian workers working extremely hard; the second one is the architects are driving in the last spike which is well known as “the Last Spike”; and then is the Chinese labors are treated unfairly. In general, none of those pictures could truly represent the history, but choosing the misleading one could bring different perspective.…

    Argument On The Issue Of Immigration In Enrique's Journey By Sonia Nazario

    Most of the photographs do not add to the narrative, but Nazario includes them to build a visual connection between the travails of the narrative and the audience. Sonia Nazario has talent in photography as a recipient of the Pulitzer Price for Feature Photography and uses the medium to support her book’s emotional appeal to the audience. All of the photographs extend compassion from the audience because they are all positive in support of Nazario’s emotional argument on immigration. There are no photographs of illegal drug usage, crime, and other intolerable actions that occur in the book, therefore there is an unbalanced approach to the included photography that clearly has a purpose to evoke desired emotions and empathy towards Enrique and the plight of other illegal child migrants. Additionally, the book begins with a photograph of Enrique in his kindergarten graduation.…

    Snapshot Of Grad Admissions: Case Study

    The image is of a women holding her books and a laptop case. This is an important image because women wouldn’t have been on a university many years ago. She can serve to show how far women have come today. She can go to school and get an education in order to pursue a career she loves rather than only working in the home, for this reason, I think the image shows an important aspect. By holding the books and laptop case, the second thing this…

    The theme of my poetry is the beauty of nature. I chose this topic because I truly believe that the nature in this world is beautiful. I’ve visited many places free from human interactions, and one thing is the same about all these places. It’s a scene you can never forget.

    The Kite Runner Turning Point Analysis

    The Kite Runner’s seventh chapter unarguably serves as the plot’s turning point, it depicts the creation of the novel’s core conflict, that of Amir’s subsequent guilt following his betrayal which is later established as the driving force behind the majority of the story. In this chapter Hosseini not only explores the ideas of betrayal, guilt and cruelty, but also continues to construct the novel’s purpose as an ode to Hosseini 's home country of Afghanistan through the utilisation of a variety of literary techniques such as symbolism, characterisation and narrative perspective. Hosseini has constructed a tale rife with symbolism, examples of which can be observed through the light of dawn to the darkness of dusk, and even via the colour blue…

    Memories Of Things Unseen Analysis

    The paradoxical role of photography in contemporary life is explored by Teju Cole in his essay “Memories of Things Unseen.” When a photograph is the last trace we have of a destroyed work of art, it becomes something more, or so it seems. Photography in its purest form is simply a method of storytelling without the need for words. Many factors go into taking a photo. You don't simply take a photo using just your eyes, but rather with your emotions, experience, and heart.…

    Understanding A Photograph By John Berger

    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. A picture solely preserves a single moment in time, and while they often act to tell a story, the medium cannot be fully interpreted without knowing the story that surrounds it. 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…

    The Suit And The Photograph By John Berger Analysis

    In John Berger’s essay, “The Suit and the Photograph,” Berger did a superior job at describing the difference between each photograph and their meanings behind them. He used a type of approach that I wasn’t familiar with at first, but it then became clear and was successful at doing so. Berger begins by talking about the photographer August Sander, who is responsible for taking the three photos that were discussed in the essay. He mentions that although there are obvious differences between the photos, there are noticeable similarities as well. One of the main similarities is their expression on their faces and the look in their eyes.…
