Desert island

Buried (2010) by Rodrigo Cortés is a film construct by only one scene, in the coffin buried deep down under the sand in a desert within a human Paul Conroy with limited resource. Most of the shots using a dark tone to shape a tense atmosphere, in order to increase the disturbed mood and project to the audiences. The first few capture of the shots is all about showing the narrow space inside a coffin, the unfamiliar environment, the heat and the emotional of Paul as well as how limited action…

In True West, Sam Shepard offers a different idea to the traditional American Dream that is taught in so much of our life and literature. It is a piece that features a great deal of symbolism to figuratively give meaning to its production. Examples of symbolism are discovered all over the play and one great example of symbolism could be seen in Austin, Lee’s younger brother. We see Austin wearing a “light blue sports shirt” with “clean blue jeans” and “white tennis shoes.” Clothes say a great…

This dream or achievement can also teach us some valuable lessons throughout our journey. How we see it in the book, “ The Alchemist.” Santiago was in the search for his Personal Legend. He faced many obstacles. From working at a crystal shop to later on being beaten by some refugees from the tribal war who stole…

Most of the officers seem to be at a loss for words as to why he’s taking us to Kut, when Basra is clearly the better place to withstand a siege. I don’t know much about military strategy, but I feel like camping in the middle of the desert isn’t the best idea when we get all of our supplies from the sea. At Basra at least we could be resupplied and be evacuated if the need arose, but I suppose Townshend knows what he’s doing. Then again, after the debacle at Ctesiphon last week, I don’t…

Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT), my family would ultimately trade highly urbanized southern California for the vast and barren desert of Parker, Arizona. It was only a few hours away, yet worlds apart. To give you an idea of the landscape, Major General George Patton trained his troops in the vicinity for warfare during World War II. The most extremes of the desert could be found in this region and it would become my new normal. The caveat? The Colorado River. Life on “the river” was…

and they all have certain characteristics that many would find pleasing or fascinating. Overall, I believe the Phoenix Art Museum would be the best choice to visit. The museum is designed beautifully and out of these three locations, it represents desert architecture in a more aesthetically pleasing manner. The museum was designed in parts and even then the different sections combine in a gracious manner. The entrance canopy is inviting towards the building and is an interesting architectural…
