Conceptual metaphor

interview with Shelley Rome, Frangipane described the Badlands as a “dystopian, post-apocalyptic society with a booming metropolis and a corrupt government. A desert wasteland surrounded the city, preventing people from going in or getting out.” It was a metaphor for a mental state, a way for the artist to cope with the reality of her life. Ashley includes that many of the places she grew in. Her alias “Halsey” was inspired by a stop…

One Art- Elizabeth Bishop Elizabeth Bishop, “One of the most important American poets of the twentieth century” as written by Larry Rohter of the New York Times. Elizabeth Bishop was a famous American poet and short-story writer, producing over 100 works during her lifetime. As a child, Bishop’s parents were abruptly removed from her life before she reached the age of being able to remember them long term. Her father grew ill and passed on before she was one year old and her mother was forced…

The Aaker Model is an oft-cited conceptual approach that seeking to emphasize the determinants that create brand equity from customer’s perspective.

In ‘Mid Term Break’, a key literary device used by Heaney is imagery used to express ideas of death with the use of the extended metaphor to describe the only mark on the boy's body a ‘poppy bruise’. A poppy is red; hence he has a red bruise on his forehead from where the car hit him. The poppy is also symbol of death. Many people wear a poppy to commemorate those who died in war.…

obstacles, wondering on and off our paths, weaving our way along. We weave things that seem disparate together: ideals, theories stories. We weave people together into families and communities, creating the web, the fabric of life. And-my source for this metaphor-we weave hair, white fingers learn to braid and plait and grease and comb a black child's hair-and in doing that, maybe more than in any single other act, we work to weave a black child into a white family, and weave that child into a…

of theory is something elseTheorizing Ecocriticism 109ecocritics dislike about current literary studies" (Philips, 2003,p.578). This is hard to understand, because, as Arran E. Gare has pointed out, "[t]heoriesare ways of experiencing the world, conceptual frameworks in terms of which the world is interpreted and made sense of " (Philips, 2003,p.111). In other words, theories are ways of expressing meaning making processes,and they help us develop critical perspectives of how our sermons…

Sir Thomas More described utopia as an ideal humanist island, where there is freedom and harmony within the community. Peter Weir in his film, The Truman Show, presented his version of utopia, a town called Seahaven. This essay will analyze the film as a critique of consumerism. The name of the city itself is, as Smicek points out, an anagram of, “as heaven,” that seems to, “replicate a saccharine of 1950 's American suburbia” (33). The main character, Truman, lives in the, “pastiche of…

Underrepresentation of Disabilities in Fashion ARP Rough Draft Underrepresentation of physical disabilities in the fashion industry leads to the misrepresentation of the disabled community in society such as unintentional discrimination. An image portraying a female model wearing a prosthetic leg, posing on a fashion show runway displays an example of an almost avant-garde movement in fashion because of how disabled people are undermined by society. An image displays a woman posing with her…

In “Dharma”, we are introduced to Major General Jehangir Antia or Jago Antia, a man “Famous for his stare, for the cold blackness of his anger, for his tactical skill and his ability to read ground, his whole career from the gold medal at Kharak vasla to the combat and medals in Leh and NEFA” (1997:5), but with a missing leg. He was forced to save his life through a terrible act of self- mutilation: SHAKTHI Subramaniam’s second story is titled “Shakti”, the basic premise of which seems to be,…

Theory Description Watson wrote many books as her mid-range theory developed. Her first published work, Nursing: The Philosophy and Science of Caring(1979), provided her students with a framework on how to care for patients. The carative factors and caritas model were based on Yalom’s eleven curative factors. Medicine is curative, so distinguishing nursing as a profession based on caring principles helps to delineate nursing from medicine as a separate science (Alligood, 2014, p. 86). Watson…
