Dots

from the black box. The lottery applied to everyone even his kids so all of them had to draw again and they were all waiting to see who won. The whole family had to draw and the kids did not get the dot on the paper. It was down to Bill and Tess and Bill was aware what would happen if he got the black dot on his paper but his wife was not to really aware what…

The Fate of Tessie Hutchinson The term lottery creates a vision of winning something of value. In the short story, “The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson, Jackson took the meaning of the lottery and put a dark twist to it. Jackson gives an everyday feel to the story as if the annual ceremony “the lottery” is a peaceful day for the towns people. The reader infers that this is a positive outcome based on society’s understanding of what a lottery is; however, the lottery takes an unforeseen twist that…

greens. In Rain’s Rustle, Afremov uses light and color to create a warm autumn feeling for the viewer. The painting is made up of large impasto dots that have visual texture. There is contrast created between the different dots in the picture. There are dots that are for light created by the light posts, dots that are the darkness from the night sky, and dots that are the colors from the autumn tree leaves. Afremov uses both primary and secondary colors. The colors in the painting are very…

I actually got all of the dot test right. The first four of the test were really easy, but that’s because I do those activities on a regular bases. The last one was a lot harder to recognize than the first four. The reason I had a tough time recognizing the last test was because…

“good” and “evil.” Through this irony, Jackson funnels the idea of “good” into a person rather than a society. She ponders whether a man inherently made to be “good” can still do “evil” just like Mr. Summers a “jovial man” (1) can create “the black dot.” Delving away from the consequences of tradition, Jackson uses irony to question the abstract ideas society forms about…

tradition in your town? It is basically a way to murder someone without being hauled to jail. The black box is representing your future in this tradition. You pick little slips of paper out of it. If you pick the slip of paper with one darkly shaded black dot on it, it just decided for you it is your time to die. When you pick the slip of paper your heart drops as fast as a rock sinking to the bottom of the sea. Everyone in the town will get to surround you and throw little stones at you until…

tended to use earthy and natural colours such as mustard yellow, shades of green, orange and brown. Pop artists used much bolder colours, in particular bright yellows, blues and reds. Ben day dots were also popular in pop art. Ben day dots (named after the printer Benjamin Henry Day Jr) are a method of using dots to add colour or shade to a picture and was developed in 1879. These became a trademark of the famous American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997) drew great…

Burris MTAC: Quality Battlefield Optic on a Budget Nestled in at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains, Greeley Colorado is home to Burris Optics. Following a twelve-year tenure with Redfield Optics where he pioneered numerous innovations including the first constantly centered non-magnifying reticle scopes, Don Burris set out to make a name for himself. Beginning in 1971, Burris introduced his own line of scopes including the original Fullfield released in 1975, compact handgun scopes in…

novelty helmets are nearly three times less effective at protecting against head injury than DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) certified helmets. In novelty helmet design, safety takes a backseat to appearance. They are little more than fashion statements. While some almost seem plausible as helmets (but don't meet DOT standards), others (such as those resembling baseball caps) clearly don't. Only use DOT or Snell certified helmets.…
