Fog

For the creative response to House of Sand and Fog (2003), I have created a dance video that portrays and explores the theme of appearance and reality. One of the prominent characters in House of Sand and Fog is Behrani. Behrani, an Iranian immigrant is shown to be living a façade, which leads to the theme of appearance and reality. I was inspired to create this video with two different worlds that represents an appearance, and a reality. This concept was inspired by Behrani who seems to have…

President of the World Bank, he had decades of experience and plenty of mistakes to speak on. Whether people despise him for being arrogant or respect him for his intelligence, one should certainly at least listen to the lessons he proposed in The Fog of War. His lessons can be applied in many situations past and present and could also be used to ensure the mistakes he made are not replicated. Unfortunately, people have already made some of the same mistakes he did, but these lessons have been…

he sees inside himself.” (Caspar David Friedrich) Created in the year of 1818 during the romantic period we had an artist of the name Caspar David Friedrich. His most famous work was the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog. Not only is it a beautiful landscape, he drew himself looking at fog and water. It includes self-expression, beauty and great detail. What I like most about this artwork is that it invites you to look at things in his perspective. This also makes you think and wonder as well. Even…

Escaping The Fog For a large portion of my life, I was heavily medicated. I was on a number of different pills prescribed by a number of different doctors. The pill that shaped my life the most was Concerta, an ADHD pill that, ideally, was meant to help me concentrate and control my energetic behavior. At the young age of nine, I was put on this medication and took it faithfully until I turned eighteen. My parents and doctor always said the medication would help me gain control, but it was the…

but they have to follow the rules. In “A Sound of Thunder” they were telling Eckels to stay on the path and to not ruin the timeline of when to shoot the dinosaur. In “The Fog Horn,” they didn't have critical things that happen to the society. “The Fog Horn,” has many differences from the other two stories.The theme of “The Fog Horn” was “you can’t live anything too much in the world.” This means that you shouldn’t get carried away in life, but to live a life calm and with effort. The theme…

movies, games and books for them somewhere within easy reach. d) I use a medication tracker to record the date, time and dose when I take medications. I write things down because my cognitive ability reduces significantly. I call this migraine brain fog. Carolyn Bernstein, author…

I never thought I would overcome this. Feeling the pain surround me like a black fog. I wish I would have been more careful. My day started of like any other day, reading,writing and math class. It was gym time by the time it was 11 am right before lunch time. Finishing our last game before lining up I slowed down to a light jog. As my body took a sharp turn. I could feel as my ankle had a sharp pull. What happened? My ankle would start to throb in pain. “Oww!” I exclaimed. “Mr. Murphy! I just…

Christopher Browning, Daniel Goldhagen, and the creators of Night and Fog toyed with the question of who is responsible for the Holocaust. The 1956 short film Night and Fog presents real images and clips from the Holocaust that make viewers question the motivations and ideology of the Nazis during World War II. In Ordinary Men, Browning explains his theory that any ordinary man could have committed the crimes, and the responsibility of the Holocaust should be placed on the higher authorities…
