the same place, but every painting is unique in its vibrant and vivid depiction of the fog. Monet was interested in capturing these fogs and their various colors exactly as they were. Quoted to an interviewer in 1901 Monet states: “The fog in London assumes all sorts of colors; there are black, brown, yellow, green, and purple fogs, and the interest in painting is to get the objects as seen through all these fogs”1. Monet commits to paint exactly what he sees. In the paintings containing the…
The mention of the pattern of light and shadow caused by the fog demonstrates the split personality between the two separate, yet same, characters. Part of Mr. Utterson’s encounter with Mr. Hyde could be described by the effect of the fog on the setting. The fog was concealing the moon with “frost in the air; the streets as clean as a ballroom floor; the lamps, unshaken by any wind, drawing a regular pattern of light and shadow” (40). Dr. Jekyll is a well respected man who is seen in good light.…
Illusion in the fog “Order up!!” “Austin we have another order” “Ok,aunt lucy”I yelled.the customer start to talk to aunt lucy ”he's not the same anymore ,he used to get so excited when he got a customer” aunt lucy pours him some coffee”yeah,he hasn't showed any emotion since his parents died ” (sigh)“that's a shame did they even figure out how they died” ”sadly no,they never figured it out all i know is that they were found near a place called redwood” “hey isn't that near where austin lives…
island in Oregon. With decent cinematgrhopy that's all the movie really had. The movie lacked good characters that didn't pull me in. These people actually got paid to act in this? CGI was poorly used for The Fog, it looked like a cloudy day off the coast of Oregon, unlike the original where the fog looked really awesome and a little scarier. In 1871 four men founded Antonio Island, on a night like most nights we see these four men are actually murders. Present Day is now upon us as we meet…
I am comparing “Into The Fog” and “The Hitchhiker” I think that the two.Stories were really good stories and I think that the story into the fog was about this doctor and she/he was driving and these. Two men come out of know were and they have guns and the tell the doctor to. Come with them so the doctor does and she/he sees a man with ragged clothes on and she/he is worried about the. Guy and tells the men to get she/he bag and fixes the guy the best she/he can do and the. Doctor says that…
They truly don’t understand the unknowns they will face to pay for school. In the military, we call this unknown the “fog of war.” FOG of War according to Clausewitz War is and always will be the subject of uncertainty and the unexpected; namely the “fog” or “friction” of war! I worked for the U.S. Government for over 35 years. But if you are like me, you have a purpose different from your current occupation that God placed inside…
trail through a forest enriched with nature’s noises, but only a true artist, or in this case poet, can capture a specific instance with words and infuse a piece of paper with emotions. Both Mary Oliver’s Sleeping in the Forest and Carl Sandburg’s Fog visualize nature and its effects on someone roaming through a forest or city. Oliver focuses on the transcendental power of nature and its ability to be comforting while Sandburg concentrates on the baleful presence of a natural phenomenon.…
Vadim Perelman director of House of Sand and Fog. People never know how things can turn. Sometimes some circumstances out of people’s hands can change their lives and they only realize it when it is too late. In this movie, there are two main characters that essentially are fighting to own the same house. After watching the movie, the spectator could feel some kind of empathy for either of the two characters. From my point of view, Berhani acted in a correct way because he bought legally the…
The Fog of War is one of the best documentaries that tells the story behind the superpower conflict during Cold War years and how the world came to the brink of war due to misperception and uncertainty created by the possession of nuclear weapons. In the documentary, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara was interviewed and narrated the story from the American perspective. He specifies 11 points that he considers significant lessons about war even though at that time, they were not able…
