Purple Rain

“If I were rain, that joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch, could I join two hearts as well?”(Kubo, goodreads) Rain can symbolize cleansing, often it seems that walking through rain when one is sad or pensive can help clear one's mind and help sorrows (symbolically) be washed away. This catharsis occurs often, because, firstly one feels a literal welcoming cooling on their body, but also a metaphorical washing away of problems, as well as a feeling of hitting rock bottom, a feeling…

was time. Watch the sky turn colors from blue to pink, orange, red, and purple just mixed together almost like the Northern lights. I remember this one time in particular it was just me, you knew it was about to be sun down you could hear the wind rustling through the trees. I could hear the birds still slightly singing to one another then the sky just stated fading from blue to having swirls of pink and light shades of purple. I was almost so taken back by the beauty I almost did not see the…

All Angels had wings, but none were as dark as Raven’s. She had shimmering, dark blue wings that ombred into black tips. Most of the other Angels had cream colored wings with a pink or teal tint to them, but none of them were dark. Because of the peculiar color of her wings, most angels regarded her with some apprehension. There was no fear, but they were unsure of what to think of her. However, there were two angels that did not let their differences stop them from being friends with her.…

Author Lailah Gifty Akita once said, “You have to look closely to see clearly.” This assertion resembles the nature of both the visual and performing arts. In order for one to see the depths of any piece of art, one must assess it carefully. Examining Henri Matisse’s painting, Vase, Bottle, and Fruit, Van Halen’s song “Jump,” and Swan Lake, they appear to be three distinctly different pieces of art, however analyzing these pieces thoroughly, one can see the many similarities between the three.…

Deeper Than an Advertisement For hundreds of years, the business of deforestation has been booming. At the same time, it has catastrophic effects on the environment. According to conserve-energy-future.com, since approximately one and a half acres of forests and jungles are being chopped down every second, it is estimated we will have no forests left within the next hundred years or so.

Next to the road on either side, the ditches are populated with all kinds of wild flowers and brush. Vibrant shades of green, yellow, and purple pop in contrast to the brown skeletons of bushes. To one side, downtown Dubuque pokes through the valley of two grassy slopes. To the other side, I see rolling hills populated with soybeans and corn stalks. Three plain houses dot my…

responsible for the increased stimulation of the hypothalamus, and yellow is a color that is very common for being associated with happiness. This combination of focus and happiness drives people to have a creative mindset (Dena). Colors like blue, purple, and green have lower wavelengths that promote deeper thinking, but because orange has a higher wavelength it will not so easily allow someone to become lost in thought. This means that even though a creative mind has taken over a person’s…
