Ambiguity

In “The Semiotics of Performance and Success in Madonna,” Jose I. Prieto-Arranz takes a close examination at the nature and result of Madonna’s controversial career by giving the reader some insight into her life as a musical diva, discussing the themes that make the foundation of her music ambiguous, and the effect of her iconicity on the world. Prieto-Arranz’s introductory paragraph aptly sums up the tone of the article by asserting, “Madonna is a household name for the parents and even…

The next feature which I can identify in transcript A are emoticons. Although emoticons only appear in transcript A, there are places in transcript B where an emoticon would of come into use. An example of an emoticon used is the crying with laughter emoticon, the use of the feature shows that the conversation is an informal one and also shows there is a friendship between myself and Kay. In transcript B, I write the comment 'excuse me Alison! Have you not seen my post below about your order? I…

forming the picture is charming, organizing the picture plane into large, relatively open areas interrupted by a greater concentration of activity, a spilling of shapes and colors harmonious placed on one side of the picture creates a fascinating ambiguity and enrichment of the picture space. The balance of objects makes up the picture's composition: a key element in any beauty…

the existing revenue standards (118, and 111); and
 Importance of Revenue recognition Revenue information remains paramount in accordance with the financial functioning of an entity.

stylistic features. By extensively exploring the context of Steinbeck’s work and its inadvertent impact on the use of religion, I have been encouraged to question the meaning generated by the language used, thereafter allowing me to address its ambiguity.…

The Dead Christ with Symbols of the Passion can be compared to Rosso Fiorentino's work, The Dead Christ with Angels. Painted in the 1520s, the piece features heavy similarities to Fontana's work in style, theme and content. Fiorentino's piece is also highly reflective of the 16th century style-mannerism similar to Fontana’s piece. Fiorentino’s piece is characterized by the use of crowded figures in an ambiguous space, strong hues and colors, elongated and twisting figures and so on. Thematically…

The rule of dictator Porfirio Diaz in Mexico has become synonymous with the modern, Positivistic dictatorships of the late nineteenth century. “The stability that Diaz’s long regime provided allowed Mexico at last to enjoy a burst of economic development. Agriculture for commercial export expanded, thousands of miles of railroads linked Mexico to U.S. markets, and a modest industrial complex appeared” (Beezley 55). Nicolas Zuniga y Miranda was known for his scientific inventions and earthquake…

are clearly based on Norse raiders. The Skandians are crude and brutal, but they are not beasts like the Wargals, or without their honor. They are also one of the book's most unpredictable elements, as they are on no one's side but their own. This ambiguity makes for a much more interesting read than the usual battle between the forces of light and…

David Orr in “The Politics of Poetry” (2008) starts off by using Tom Buffenbarger’s attack against Barack Obama as a bridge to claim that poetry and politics are particularly connected to each other. In order for him to analyze both and come up with a conclusion Orr cites works from different authors. One of the works that Orr mentions is Shelley’s, who writes that poets are “the mirror of the gigantic shadow which futurity casts upon the present” (p. 1) Orr then juxtaposes it to Franklin D.…
