advertisement but also on a person as it was not common to have brightly colored lips at the time. Another likely reason red was chosen was because it signifies courage, sexuality, love and pleasure. Red is often used to evoke erotic feelings, and MAC would have used it to try and lift the stigma on the disease and direct their mantra of “diversity, acceptance and celebrating” the individual at those affected by HIV/AIDS (Benoit). In order to properly analyze the advertisement using rhetorical…

When people think about the color yellow they usually associate it with positive things, such as sunshine and happiness, but in The Great Gatsby it is quite the contrary. (“Color Symbolism and Culture”).Yellow is used to symbolize falseness. It is similar in color to gold, only less shiny and inexpensive. But no matter how hard it tries, yellow can never truly pass for gold. (“Examples of the Symbolism of Colors in “The Great Gatsby”). Characters in the Great Gatsby who are surrounded by yellow…

Chapter Three I was on the plane to London; we had a couple of hours left till we arrived. Goodbye America, Hello London. I laid back; I was in the middle of Liam and Niall. I felt…safe. Niall nudged my arm, I looked at him. “Do you need something Niall?” I yawn. “Yeah actually, I need to take a selfie with you.” I smile at how stupid it sounded. “Sure, why not.” He gets his phone out and takes a picture.

The author supports her thesis by stating…

Offer one grammar suggestion in the course of an internet conversation and suddenly highly intelligent people, who were just moments before bemoaning the dumbing down of society, are ready to compare you to the perpetrators of some of the most heinous war crimes in recent history. Needless to say (but I’m going to say it anyway), equating the desire to see good grammar with genocidal mania is a bit of a false equivalency. In fact, as an English teacher, I would venture so far as to…

the color red? For most people, they immediately think of blood.With all of its negative connotation, when it's spilled, or somebody is dead. Blood can be scary, even terrifying. It can also be beautiful though, as we see in "The Scarlet Ibis." There is a lot of association with the color red in this story. The "bleeding tree" makes us automatically think of red.The ibis found in the backyard itself is red, and the bush which Doodle dies beneath is red. When Doodle is born his body is "red." For…

While Fitzgerald uses green to symbolise the character Gatsby and his inner feelings, Hawthorne uses the red and yellow garments that Pearl, Hester Prynne’s daughter must wear, effectively demonstrating that Prynne and Pearl are symbolic of her same sin. An example of this is in Chapter 7, when Hester “in contriving the child’s garb, had allowed the gorgeous tendencies of her imagination their full play; arraying her in crimson velvet tunic, of a peculiar cut, abundantly embroidered with…
