scenographic elements to draw season ticket holders out towards the main social space, where they would mix with the single ticket holders (fig. 3). However, it is the appearance of the two primary vestibules that shows a marked distinction between the two entrances. Both rooms share an austere quality in comparison to the dazzling Grand Staircase, but the Vestibule des Abonnés is a distinctly more sumptuous space. The Vestibule des Abonnés’ use of rich materials (e.g. polychromatic mosaics, red Jura stone columns and mirrored niches) provides a stark contrast to the monochromatic arcade and statues of the Grand Vestibule, which seems plain by comparison. While one would be correct to state that separate entrances for the pedestrians and the carriages were needed for purely logistical reasons, the need for separate vestibules and the disparity between the cost of the two vestibules creates a distinction between those who could afford season tickets and those who could not. It was Garnier’s intent that this feeling of separation would diminish when these two groups would meet at the foot of the Grand…

That night, I went to bed and my mind was racing. Our plan was set in place. As the clock struck midnight, I quickly snuck out of bed and got dressed. I was so anxious. I wanted to be ready at a moment’s notice. It took less than two minutes to put on a thermal shirt, a sweater, jeans, and heavy wool socks. I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling, counting down the minutes. At 12:50 on the dot, I heard muffled noises outside my window. I sat up and looked outside. There was James and his…

are two examples of this. “I heard a fly buzz – when I died,” also by Dickinson, is an example of a poem that does not personify death. Although some people think of death as a one sided-topic, these poems explore the multiple sides of Death. For example, in one poem the author thinks of Death as a weakling, and in another, the author thinks of Death as a chivalrous gentleman. Clearly, Death has numerous ‘faces’ in “Because I could not stop for Death,” “Death, be not proud,” and “I heard a fly…

Establishing legitimization occurs when an entity posses the right to be heard and taken seriously (Simons & Jones, 2015).

The increase in these two acts is a direct result from ESPN’s extremely high carriage fee, or the amount of money that cable providers have to pay ESPN per subscriber. Its whopping $6.41 carriage fee (as of 2015 compiled by…

Could Not Stop for Death”. The poem personifies death as a suitor who is taking the narrator for a carriage ride. It is an intriguing point of view providing a metaphor for life. But Emily Dickson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” is more than a look at life it is a guide to experiencing the inevitability of death. In the first stanza of Dickinson’s “Because I could not stop for Death” the character of Death is personified as a carriage driver. Unlike other works of literature, Death is…

What if the king was hurt what if he had changed his mind what if the carriage was attacked, but those questions all poured out of my…

Motivations His motivation to get involved in this business came to him while he was still in the carriages business. A carriage salesman he worked with convinced him to buy a Buick when he could not pay (Gale Biography). This led him to believe that the automobile…
