Crimson

day and night really mattered all that much on a warship. Scrolling through the data, Lasky raised an amused eyebrow at seeing the news that Crimson Team and the well known Fireteam Majestic, the two top ranked teams of Spartan IVs. They had fought each other until they reached a draw for first place. What was surprising to him was that, considering that Crimson Team had a long list of victories against Fireteam Majestic, but that space had been quickly shutting itself over the past few…

Factors including Southern hospitality, countryside views, above-average athletics, and a phenomenal academic program cause the Crimson Tide to be above everyone else. The effects of admission consist of the new surroundings for a different experience, being away from home, and the expensive out-of-state tuition. College can be a stressful time for many, but creates the opportunity…

garments. The two figures in the widest arch are markedly larger than the two other men flanking them. The bearded one is grasping a scroll with both hands and is looking to his counterpart. His counterpart is quite ornately dressed, with a vibrant crimson cloak and jewel-encrusted garments. Atop his head is a circlet or crown of some sort, also encrusted with gems. He is holding another scroll and is making a gesture with his free hand. The rightward man is quite similar to the leftward man,…

In the early Nineteenth Century, Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of America’s most important writers since the publication of The Scarlet Letter. Hawthorne was known as a romancer and even a realist when writing many of his pieces. When writing the short story, The Birthmark, Hawthorne say that it was one of two of his most challenging stories. The story is about a crazed scientist Aylmer and his wife Georgiana and his hatred towards Georgiana’s birthmark. Aylmer caused Georgiana to hate herself…

here he was, surrounded by his dead comrades trampled over by the Russians in the empty death camp of Auschwitz. The firing squad had left bullets riddled across his body, blood oozed out from the wounds like a fountain staining the blank floor with crimson ink. So here he lied, Hans Wolfgang Camp Commander at Auschwitz reduced to nothing but a rotting body in the ground. He cursed at the only thing he knew, the infinite amount of Gods. Odin, Vishnu, Christ, Buddha all were victim to his…

Hawthorne’s Diversified Use of the Scarlet Letter Hawthorne’s use of symbolism within “The Scarlet Letter” constitutes the use of objects, characters, settings and etc. to help unfurl an extravagantly woven tale around the ‘moral’ of the book from beginning to end. Within this though Hawthorne’s use of symbolism is one at times that takes certain signature symbols within his stories and applies a different meaning of that symbol towards the characters within his stories such as the scarlet…

“Long ago in a galaxy far, far away…” Perhaps the most recognized opening lines to any film. Star Wars, the famous modern epic, changed the way we created movies. With visual effects and a compelling plot far beyond its day, it pushed the film industry to become more innovative, resulting in the multimillion dollar blockbusters we are so accustomed to today. Where did it all begin? Was it the genius of George Lucas alone or did he receive some help along the way? The answer is a combination of…

I argue Lady Audley’s portrait is crucial to the movement and culmination of Braddon’s novel. Its symbolic implications are multivalent: as Lynette Felber writes, ‘[the portrait] protests the power and authority of the male gaze; it anatomizes fetishistic desire; and it raises questions about the construction of women and their sexuality in Victorian society’. Structurally, the portrait heralds the fate of Lady Audley by revealing her dual nature, by implicating a significant secret, and by…

As the story opens Grace begins knitting something from red crimson silk. Grace is described as “small and pale,” which contrasts with the color and quality of her knitting, placing importance upon it (Wharton 1). The crimson silk represents Grace’s internal passion and the knitting represents the tangled, interwoven lives of the two women. When Alida reveals that she knows that Grace went to…

The speaker in this story is Virginia Woolf. She is an activist and a feminist as well as a writer. That tells her story while living during war. Being an activist and a feminist gives her more of a point of view on how women should be more involved in the war. “To fight against a real enemy, to earn undying honor and honor by shooting total strangers, and to come home with my breast covered with medals and decorations, that was the summit of my hope….It was for this that my whole life so far…
