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…
COLES Coles Myer Ltd is one of the leading retailer supermarket in Australia and it has more than 1,800 number of stores and selling area, but to look back how it was started is way even more interesting. The first Coles store was opened on Smith St, Collingwood, in Victoria, it was Thursday April 9, 1914, but before Coles opened; the food that people acquired is from the local butcher and greengrocer by using horse and cart and the milk was delivered in front of the house’s front step. Sir…
Establishing legitimization occurs when an entity posses the right to be heard and taken seriously (Simons & Jones, 2015). By choosing two students a part of the Legislative Branch of the SUNY Fredonia Student Association the campaign would establish the legitimacy it needs to be successful. According to the SUNY Fredonia website members of the Legislative Branch are responsible for voting on statute changes, budgetary requests, re-acknowledgements, appointments, and more (Fredonia SA, 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…
In the gothic novel Dracula there are many gothic motifs. Gothic motifs are images that show up in other gothic stories.

The first motif noticed in Dracula is the carriage ride in the evening. This shows up in other gothic…
I had to interest in seeing the carriage, but Arthur desperately wanted to so I decided to stand behind him outside our home when the king, his guards, and whoever else was with him rode past our shack. After hours of standing in the cold to make my son happy I began to wonder if the rumors were true maybe the carriage wasn't going to pass through our village. 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…
them. They only know that they're horses, they're big, and the general look of them. As it was mentioned before, these horses have a lot in common. People don't realize many differences. Some differences are fairly surprising. For instance, the origins of the breeds and what they were used for. The Shire originated in England as a battle horse. They were chosen for their strong and sturdy features because they had to hold knights in heavy metal armor in their backs. The Percheron originates in…
