A Deeper Level

they are deeply rooted in principles which are shared. The similarity I want to draw on is in Mill’s approach to higher pleasures where he believes that competent judges’ preferences are not as relative as they are principled, hence encompassing a deeper and higher value associated with higher pleasures that outweigh the pleasure amount argument.

Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. Using symbolism helps create a deeper meaning to the story instead of just a surface level story. The reader can get a better understanding on the themes of the book and what the author is trying to tell the readers. Just like that, Golding uses symbolism in Lord of the Flies to give depth to the story. Symbolism helped understand the kids and their thinking. Golding uses the conch shell, the beast, and Piggy’s glasses as symbols…

author’s distinct style and his creative use of a stream of consciousness narrative style. Over the course of reading this book, we had countless classroom discussions that evolved around the significance of the characters falling into a river and the deeper meaning behind their individual actions in this crucial scene. Although I did learn a bit about the time period by briefly learning about the author, it was the extensive analysis of literature that left a lasting impact on my writing style…

I have come to realize this semester that I am extremely thoughtful and contemplative person, and this has shown me that I tend to overthink things to an extreme level. It has to do with anxiety and extreme thoughtfulness, the fact that I overthink anything that happens to me. I believe that this Astronomy class has grounded me in many ways. The thought of the vast universe, with billions of possibilities for life, really makes my problems seem minute in the scheme of everything. The universe…

No matter their skill set, art teachers all want students to leave their class with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the visual arts.

His book relates to humanity through our perspectives being different, even though we share the same senses. Because of this relationship, I chose this core text to base my artistic creation on. For my medium, I chose to craft a tune on the piano. This was the first idea that popped into my mind as I have been…

people. Larry Burrows died when his helicopter was shot down over laos while collecting photos of this gruesome war that claimed thousands of lives. Originally written January, 25th,1963 the Times article “America in Vietnam, 1963: Deeper Into War” provided a much deeper out look into the Vietnam War and the cost of the people in and around it pushing the anti-war campaign further. For this article I chose Bring The Boys Home by freda payne because the lyrics talk about people being killed in…

Exhibits displaying the violence against the Freedom Riders, Breaking Barriers: Sports for Change, the American Civil Rights Movement, the Global Human Rights Movement, and a collection of personal papers from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. provided a deeper understanding of African-American culture for my observations. When working with Mr. Lewis’s students, I tried to provide them with culturally and personally relevant information for their math problems. Giving personalized support helped in…

setting, foreshadow and emphasize events, and develop the characters”. Even though the audience cannot directly see the stage directions, they do seem them expressed through the actors actions which not only creates a deeper understanding of the plot, but it allows the audiences to gain a deeper understanding of the characters as well.
