Cranes

Figure 4.16, Cranes by Ogata Korin. This folding screen is one of two, and was created around the year 1700, using ink and colors over gold and silver leaf on paper. This functional work of art really stood out to me because of its simplicity. The repetition and rhythm of this piece is interesting because of the subtle variety of the cranes. No two are exactly alike if you look closely and that adds to the works grandeur. Like…

1. Crane wrote “The Red Badge of Courage” with the intention of refuting the glorification of war. What’s fresh about this book is that Crane uses two type of fictional writing; naturalism and realism. This book is different from other books written about war. 2. I believe that the passage written by Crane deeply describes what the soldiers encountered during the bloody chaotic battle. As a reader, I think Crane’s book is much more interesting, thrilling, and easier to relate to. Crane’s story…

Courage is something seen throughout history, in novels, and in everyday situations. It is the ability to be strong in a tough position. In The Old Man and the Sea and The Red Badge of Courage, both Henry and Santiago have to face extremely difficult, unfamiliar situations. They handle them in different ways, but they both must face their challenges head on and with courage. There are many times throughout these novels where courage is used or shied away from. First, being courageous is…

Norman’s hobby relates to the conclusion of the film because Marion's last name is a type of bird, signifying that Norman Bates obvious addiction to taxidermy, as seen in the parlor scene, has a connection with Marion Crane’s future fate. Marion Crane, the main female character of the film is seen as suspicious, at the beginning of…

With the expansion of maritime and intermodal transportation, older ports with limited real estate must remain possible options to move cargo. There are some ways, in which the older ports like Baltimore, Philadelphia, and others with limited real-estate available for expansion would be able to compete with bigger newer ports. Improvements would be critical in improving the ports productivity to compete with the newer larger ports. The majority of ports and terminals were built for a volume of…

In the town of Sleepy Hollow, we find Ichabod Crane, the protagonist, who begins to notice the daughter of the richest man in town, Katrina. He decides to pursue a relationship with Katrina. However, this decision starts trouble with Katrina’s other suitor, Abraham "Brom" Van Brunt. There is a party at Katrina’s house later she breaks up with Ichabod. Heartbroken Ichabod makes his way home when he is interrupted by the Headless Horseman. The next day, Ichabod has disappeared and no one knows…

Davis (1992: 5) argues, fashion itself serves as a context- dependent code, meaning that what is signified by a certain choice of clothing, make-up, and hairstyle is met with different responses depending on the audience and period. Furthermore, as Crane (2000: 3) adds, clothing “performs a major role in the social construction of identity” and, what is particularly interesting for this analysis, allows the individual to create and play out a meaningful self-identity (Giddens 1991). But the…

So far in the analysis of characters from the films chosen for this thesis, the characters have been found to possibly reflect the ethical and the aesthetic of Kierkegaardian philosophy. The fourth chapter found reflections of the ethical in the characters of Boris, Alyosha, and Stalin, and in the fifth chapter, possible reflections of Kierkegaard’s aesthetic were observed in the characters of Mark, Hitler, and Vadim. With these examples of the potential of Kierkegaardian analysis, the parts of…

Animals often play significant roles in literature despite their appearance of being in trivial positions; the employment of animals is seen throughout many of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The Summoner and the Pardoner’s tales evoke numerous animals such as cats and horses that either play large roles (for example, describing the Pardoner’s physical appearance) or small ones (the Summoner’s act of moving a cat). Despite their superficial insignificance, the animals are deliberately included by…

I would like to begin talking about the sandhill Crane. The sandhill Crane migrates around North America and is generally a peaceful bird. These birds come to Texas for the winter according to nationalgeographic.com. Now these graceful birds will have a problem if wind turbines appear out of no were. If it is our…
