Neon

The changing of sports clothing from the 1970s to today Sports clothing has changed considerably from when sports first came out in the late 60s to the early 70s. Sports clothing from the 1960s to today is incredibly different from the material used, the price and the style. Today's athletic wear focuses more on the sport than the fashion in today's world. It was the opposite less than a century ago. Tennis was a sport created as a game for monks to play. Men would wear full-length pants, ties,…

Spring Awakening, originally written in 1891 by Frank Wedekind and adapted more recently by Steven Sater, was performed by the theater department of Wake Forest University in the Scales Fine Arts Center on April 8th, as well as several other days that month. A play about the effects of sexual suppression faced by teenagers in a German town in the 19th century, its topics of sex, suicide, abuse, oppression, and corrupt authority are all still very relevant to the youth of today. In order to…

The setting is not that of him on a mountain, looking down upon a city inundated with florescent and neon light. Rather, he writes of research and the affects of light pollution within nature’s fragile ecosystem. Klinkenborg’s background in naturalistic writing is that of nonfiction. Utilization of facts such as, “… squid fisherman luring their prey…

statuette. In this movie the great actor Humphrey Bogart plays a detective who partner is killed while trying to catch a suspect for his client. For this movie there was a low budget and out of that budget the viewer will get to see a grainy film, neon lights outside bay windows creating an eerie and transparent glare. The viewer will also see shadows as well as wet streets that will give off a glair to give off a wet shadow effect. The view will see violence which every film noir has to offer.…

I’m bathed in neon, green spilling through the leaves above my head. The color comes not from lights or signs but from sunlight pouring its hot rays down upon the Canadian forest. I’m sweating, beads of liquid streaking down my dirty face. Every other second I hear the buzz of incoming mosquitos like tiny fighter jets preparing for an airstrike, thrumming. The trail beneath my damp sneakers is compact despite the previous days’ rains. My watch beeps, and I fish it out of my breast pocket…

welcoming person on the inside. While Peg was driving Edward back to her home, multiple shot-reverse-shots reveal the blatant contrast between Edward and the rest of the neighborhood. All the houses in Peg’s neighborhood are portrayed as these one-story neon colored houses that would have likely been built by someone in 1980s/90s. Edward, on the other hand, is donning somber, dark clothing not situated with the rest of the theme of the neighborhood. This indifference in color shows how…

In a similar way, people need art and art can be used to fit needs in a variety of ways. For example, Paglia comments that “My treatment of art is a kind of electrocution therapy, Applying a live wire (that is me) to make me jump and light up with a neon glare.” (Paglia, 116) That was an example of how some people need art. Although, individuals need art for different reasons and use art in various ways. The quote explains how an individual metaphorically uses art as an electrocution therapy.…

We had just come from my granddaughter’s basketball game and we had decided to go to the Bob Evans in Marysville. That particular Bob Evans does not have a good reputation with me but since my dear grandchildren wanted to eat there I simply replied, “Why not.”. When we got inside a very cheery room greeted us. There was a beautiful chandelier covering twenty or so tables with green tablecloths and the usual condiments. “It looks good enough.” I thought optimistically. When we sat down it was…

Well, let me start off by saying that both Tesla and Edison had many inventions that changed the world in a way. They both to me in my opinion were the utmost ingenious people to put forth ideas that no one else would of thought before. If it weren't for them both we won't be holding some of the stuff that we have today, like our phones and instead of electricity something else like candle power. I would love to be an apprentice on their side for either Edison or Tesla because it would have been…

I have seen many strange countries in my travels, but never one so strange as this. Waking up with a pounding headache and messy thick black hair, and seeing women on broom sticks riding through the air was one of those strange things. Of course, I got up and questioned this, and I looked up at the women, who seemed to look like witches, but they were not ugly or horrible to look at, but instead they are beautiful young women with no mole or green splotch to be seen. Some had lovely long hair…
