Beige

Within most foundation and concealer lines, the darkest colour is one that would match that of a coffee with two creamers. Even lines that do attempt to delve into a more diverse range of shade will often fall short, diversifying their range of “buff” “beige” and “ivory” shades so there is…

me, Father, for I have sinned,” I began slowly, “It has been two months since my last confession,” picking up the pace as the familiar rhythm and motions overcame the meaning of the words. Recalling the familiar script, I recited the words to the beige screen that separated me from the priest. My eye stared ahead blankly, and my mind wandered to the beginning of an ache forming in my knees. As the script came to an end, I shifted my weight, hoping to stave off the coming discomfort. Between the…

By: Simona McDonald It had been a grey, gloomy September day from the moment the sun chose to rise. A faint wind flowed through our hair while a slight drizzle sprinkled down upon us. The lake’s chilly, dark green water came crashing down onto the beige concrete in heavy waves as we strolled along beside the water, taking in the breath-taking scenery. There had been a faint mist acting as a blanket covering the city of Chicago. Many friends and families were taking in the beautiful scenery…

Marriage is defined as a legal or formal recognized union of two individuals. Although the definition may be the same universally throughout the world marriage customs vary by country. At first glance India and Japan’s wedding ceremonies may appear to be similar in that they both are very ritualistic and include much fanfare. However, as you look closer the two are quite different. In India, marriage is not only the sacred union of two individuals, but also the joining of two families and…

I entered a large lobby with beige walls that had a flower-patterned wallpaper strip running horizontally in the middle of the wall. This pattern surrounded the lobby and ran all the way down the hallway accompanied by white linoleum flooring. The lighting was very fluorescent and…

the way to the car, Jules still couldn't shake the thought that they weren't supposed to be there. However, Evan didn't seem to think much of it, so she was probably just being a fry. The inside of Evan's car always felt very cozy to her, with the beige velour seats and backseat filled with little trinkets he'd forgotten to bring inside. As the two started to kiss, a loud hiss came from outside, near a barren tree. Jules propped up from her sunken position, eyes wide. "Evan, I really think we…

am seen “cuddled up” with my father, I could also be considered a “daddy’s girl”. Dressed in a deep red racerback dress and toting a bright pink purse, I have my scrawny little arms, with a single gold bracelet, around my dad, who is clothed in a beige Nigerian outfit. I chose to pose like this because I love my dad and he spoils me more than my mom. My dad has his arm serenely around me, as a sign of…

The Graduate The sequence that I have chosen for analysis is the scene after the party and Dustin is moping in his room, until he puts his hand in the fish tank to pull out his keys. The scene begins with Mrs. Robinson bursting in on Benjamin. The sound of the door is quite loud in the small space, making it much more intrusive than it might normally have been and possibly drawing a metaphor about her entry not just into his room but into his private life. Her voice is totally calm…

Aural As previously mentioned, Corner states that the aural category of documentary aesthetics is strongly linked to images and because of this could be considered a secondary aesthetic. While I agree that documentary television was considered less aesthetically inclined during the early 2000s, I’d argue that recent television documentaries, like O.J.: Made in America, have reversed what Corner is suggesting. Edelman often allows the aural contents of the narrative to take the lead in parts of…
