The color white is typically associated with purity and light. White is typically predominant in circumstances regarding elegance and symbolizes cleanliness. In “The Great Gatsby”, the color white is utilized to allude to the same ideas but in an ironic fashion. For example, Daisy and Jordan are said to be wearing white multiple times in the novel. When they are first introduced, Nick tells the reader that, “They are both in white and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had…

the Determining Food Dye Content Lab was to identify the food dye coloring in green apple Gatorade, and determine the dye’s concentration to ultimately recreate a solution containing the same concentration of dyes as the original. To determine the concentration of the dyes present in the green apple Gatorade, a spectrometer was used to measure the wavelengths and absorbance values for the given dyes. A sample of the green apple Gatorade was tested in the spectrometer to measure its absorption…

example the color green represents the life Gatsby wanted that was just in front of him while the color yellow represents the different social classes within the book with all the money they had or all the money they did not have. The color blue represents the lonely times Gatsby had at his gargantuan mansion that was located in West Egg.

The 1920s were widely considered a failure in society. It was such a rowdy and out-of-control era due to the war. The war made everybody wonder whether they would make it back from war. This led to a generation of partying and living life to the fullest. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby is one of many young adults who endlessly parties to make sure he has no regrets if he never returns from war.

Colors have different meanings to different people. Some colors remind people of events that have happened, while others remind people of different seasons or places that they have been. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, the author uses color symbolism in a creative and juxtaposed way that allows him to emphasize different themes. The main character, Jay Gatsby, wants to marry his long lost love, Daisy; however, she has married another man named Tom, who comes from “old money”.…

Eyck’s painting can best be understood by his use of elements, composition, and symbols. Jan Van Eyck uses local colors, neutral colors, and intensity to bring visual representation to Wedding Portrait. The local colors can be found in the bride’s green dress, her blue undershirt, and the red curtains. These objects have the colors you would “normally find” in similar objects. According to Exploring Art by Margaret Lazzari and Dona Schlesier, “Neutral colors are very low-intensity colors such…

The method in the madness comes from the one and only Dr. Taylor Hartman, after years of…

heterotroph? Humans and most animals are considered heterotrophs. Heterotrophs gain their energy from harvesting the energy that other living things have stored. An example of this would be a human having a turkey dinner or a rabbit enjoying some leafy greens. Each example shows a living thing, consuming another once living thing to gain energy. Autotrophs gain their energy in a different way. Autotrophs can gain their energy from non-living systems like the sun for example. Most plants are…

are dreaming. They enhance the perceptual experience that a human has with the world to such an extent that a world without color would be vague. Colors influence how we behave and interpret the world an example of this would be, how we correlate green with continuation and red with termination due to the traffic lights we encounter on an everyday basis. As we are exposed repeatedly to these color schemes we produce strong associations to the specific meaning and this can trigger the paired…
