Color space

A Childhood Relic It is the October of 2009. My feet hit the smooth, cool wooden floorboards as I rush out the door. I am filled with vitality as I take in a deep breath of fresh air. It is a late autumn afternoon; the orange leaves are falling gently from above. The clouds dominate the sky, shrouding any sign of blue from my sight. I quickly make my way to the backyard where my bike rests. The leather seat and rubber handlebars are speckled with yesterday’s rain. As I walk up to the sleek,…

want a police state, the fact that African Americans felt like they were is extremely shocking. Both of these photographs show the start reality of the color line – introduced by W.E.B. Du Bois. White Americans would not be as expected to live in the conditions of the slums as Africans Americans, and whites did not face police brutality. The color line expands to many other photographs that Gordon Park captured, and successfully captured the attention of many who were…

A short teenage boy was standing in a hallway of a house by a door. It was covered in drawings, most of which looked like they were drawn by little kids. The boy admired the pictures and chuckled. “I..I don’t know about this, Ed….” the nervous male voice from behind the door said. “I mean….What if this doesn’t work?” The short male, now known to be Ed, smiled. “It’ll be fine, David. Come on, let me see you,” Ed said nonchalantly. David took a deep breath before opening the door, revealing…

I was laying in my bed, staring at the swirling blue and dull white colored ceiling. I was listening to the light morning rain slide slowly down my window, while pondering over my day. Then the phone starts to ring. "Gillian, please come down here," my mom pleads... My grandpa is dead, I choked at the thought of it... Getting out of the black polished limousine, I grabbed my moms smooth and chilled hand. I was holding a bouquet of lightly colored flowers, rapped in shiny gold on…

ou looked over your shoulder towards the princess styled bed sitting in the corner. The bed was large, just like this room, and complimented the area nicely. It was decorated with the same colors, patterns, and accents the rest of the furniture in the room had. Placed on top of the bed were many pillows and stuffed dolls. Right now, they were all over the place; they were mixed in with the thick sheets and blankets. You look back towards the princess. With a nervous voice, you ask her if it…

to go in a couple of stores before i actually got a backpack. The backpack i had got was light pink and it was from Tilly’s. I also got a couple of pins to decorate it, so it would not be plain. Ever since i moved in with dad, i started to like the color light pink. “Do you need anything else before we leave?” Dad offered. “ I think I am good on everything. I did not want to buy so many school supplies because i just wanted to wait to see what my teachers would recommend me to get.” I said as i…

Scene one(exposition): As the snowflakes fall onto my face I continue to walk to my home with my friend Georgia when we suddenly hear a screaming burglary alarm going off. I rushed over to the nearby house to discover a broken window I tried to pick up some of the glass but sliced my finger like an onion whiles doing so. Georgia and I continued to the front of the house to go inside and see what was going on when "thump,thump,thump" we heard footsteps. We ran to the back to catch the stranger…

Nothing was ever going to be the same, after the moment I first saw him. I was sitting on a bench in an indoor baseball batting cage when all of a sudden I hear Macey Rae introduce me to her son. “Kaylie, I want you to meet me son. This is Shaggy.” Macey turns around and brings Shaggy closer. He picked up his head from the ground, and underneath his red hoodie I saw his brown eyes. He gave me a smile I would never forget. “Hi.” I said all shaky. We just kept eye contact until my phone buzzed. I…

For my symbol I chose the Green Light. The Green Light in the Great Gatsby is located at the end of Daisy’s dock. The Green Light only mean something to one character in the book and that is Gatsby. The Green Light was first mention at the end of chapter one. It was when Nick first saw Gatsby. Gatsby was reaching out towards the Green Light while trembling. The Green Light represent several things to Gatsby. The Green Light represent a beacon of hope, how close Gatsby is to Daisy, and his goal…

“How was the ride, Mr. Lane?” “I think the lights are dead.” “And the door?” The doorknob slowly rolled behind me. “Still in place.” I regained clarity in my vision and realized something. It was the same man from before. The same man with the ugly nose. “Wait, how’d you get--” He turned around and walked away with two hands behind his back. I didn’t have anywhere else to go, so following him was my best bet. Walking out, I noticed that we were now on city…
