The Bluest Eye is a novel by Toni Morrison about a girl named Pecola. Pecola is a daughter of Cholly and Polly Breedlove. “Love is never better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe”. Cholly is a free man, a husband, and a father of three children. He symbolizes a lover who wants nothing but for his children to feel at ease. Polly is a wife and a mother to Pecola and her other children. She symbolizes a love that needs to be nurtured and taken care of because once it is forgotten, it will stop growing. Pecola is a daughter who wants nothing but to be seen as a beautiful girl. She symbolizes an innocent love that is always suffering and the obsession of beauty in the eyes of the society. All characters serve as different instruments in love because love is a complex idea. When Cholly was young he was adopted by his Aunt Jimmy. He grew up not having felt the love of his parents because both his mother and father abandoned him. Years later, his Aunt Jimmy passed away which lead him to seek after his father in Macon County. He grew up living in a world of disillusionment from his childhood to not seeing his father. Then he met, Pauline and had three children. Cholly does not know how to love his children in a normal way. He began to notice how Pecola looked, “beaten down” and tried to console her in the only way he knows and that is through…

About an hour later Henry awoke to realise he was inches away from a cliffside. The cliffside over Redcar Beach. Henry was sobered up and began to remember his experience in the pub. Then he remembered Sylvester sitting there listening, playing dumb. Henry was angry but became overwhelmed with fear of what his was doing on a cliff in a moonless night. Of course the moonless night easily hid Sylvester in the darkness but Henry knew he was there. “You certainly packed some pounds, maybe some…

Finally, after the subjugation delivered by her family, peers, and adults, Pecola is faced with the brutal reality of living in a corrupt society, one in which the white standard will always trump the black. On a day to day basis, Pecola experiences “brainwashing [through means of] surreal literary representations, idealized dolls, and the media” (Vasquez). This transforms into an endless battle for Pecola, one in which she can either stand up for her own cultural African-American beliefs or…

drum of the motor, and you could smell the pungent odor of gasoline being burned. We had been gliding and bouncing over the dark murkey water for what felt like an eternity before I asked to my grandfather, “Are we there yet.” He replied with a firm “no, but we are getting close.” After that is starting to look out over the water, which the sun had been reflecting its rays of off it, and making it glisten like glitter. For about maybe 10 minutes later the boat lurched to halt in the water…

changes depending on the location in the retina and could be influenced by factors which include: the receptive field size, distribution of photoreceptors and illumination. For an individual to view an object, they fixate and place the image of the object on the most sensitive part of the retina, fovea centralis to produce detailed vision. As shown in Figure 2, the fovea has a high number of cone receptors which produce high visual acuity and allows the individual to identify colour and light. A…

Monali Joshi, Group 8. Human Visual System Eyes are the entry purposes of the light that conveys the visual data about the onlooker's surroundings into the human visual system. The approaching light is consumed by the photoreceptors in the retina and changed over to electrochemical signs, and these signs are transferred to the resulting systems of the visual pipeline. The photoreceptor cells change over light into electrochemical signals, and are separated into two sorts, rods and cones, named…

When I watched this documentary, The Chernobyl Disaster, through a formal lense, the producer organized this documentary in chronological order. The medium in which this non-live performance was made is a digital narrative and was an 11 minute documentary on YouTube. The colors of this film were cool tone, mostly black and white photos, and a lot of grays and dark blue. These colors, to me, are associated with sadness. For example, dark gloomy days are associated with gray stormy rain clouds.…

The majority of what we as humans experience on a daily basis comes from our sense organs. How we experience these things going on around us is based on our perceptions. Perception is the process of recognizing and interpreting sensory stimuli, from our sense organs: eyes, ears, skin, nose, and tongue. Our vision comes from our sense organ, our eyes and travels to the part of the brain that processes vision, the occipital lobe. From there what we see is a perception of what we are getting from…

The coat of a white tiger is not pure white. There are many things about white tigers people didn't know about. Such as, white tiger being bred differently. They are bred through inbreeding which means mom to son, father to daughter, or brother to sister generation after generation. A white tiger is born with defects because the same gene that produces the white coat causes the optical nerve to be wired on the wrong side of the brain. So every white tiger is cross eyed even if they look normal.…

Faith can be a multi-faceted word. It can have many different meanings to different people. Webster’s dictionary defines faith as complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Some people are dying because of their faith, such as, in the Middle East. Countless are being tortured for their belief in God. While others are severely criticized for showing any signs of their faith, for instance, the football player Tim Tebow. He prayed before, during, and after his games and the media was…
