into to sections. On the right side there is a sense of serenity. The shapes have few sharp edges, the colors are contrasting yet calming, and the figures seem calm and unaffected. The shapes shown are not clustered together. Each has its own space as your eye follows the figure then moving to the mountain, then to the trees, and so on. I can feel the…

Discoveries made by individuals will undoubtedly transform them, where it be a positive or negative transformation. This can be seen in the poems by Robert Frost, namely ‘The Tuft of Flowers’ and ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’, and also in the short story ‘Big World’ by Tim Winton. In ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’ the speaker makes a discovery on his own perceptions of the world round him and how he must change in order to fulfil his responsibilities. Similarly, in ‘A Tuft of…

Too often, when deciding which movie to watch, we look for the best poster that appeals to the eyes the most. Is it the colors that capture us? Or is it the charisma that reflects off the main character? Whichever reason it is, My Sister’s Keeper is the most unique candidate. The My Sister’s Keeper movie poster belongs in the Movie Hall of Fame due to the balance of colors, the placement of images, and the serene mood. To begin, one of the main reasons why this movie poster is a great…

In this film, the Vienna Philharmonic played Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 in E Minor “From the New World.” This piece displays the serenity of the new world, with violins and violas playing pizzicato to resemble trickling streams, the basses and cellos playing fortissimo in order to represent roaring rivers, and the brass playing in unison to signify the enormous, yet beautiful mountain ranges. Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 contains four movements. The first movement is in sonata allegro form.…

constantly visit nature like it’s my home. Experiencing the beauty of nature allows me to become one with my environment and everything around me. As high schoolers, we are often too busy with work and studying that we forget about the simplicity and serenity of nature around us. (contrast) Being able to experience nature on a daily basis is fundamental to one’s mental state. Without nature, the world is like a doctor’s office: painful and boring. We need to begin a new lifestyle in which one…

William Wordsworth’s poems “The Ruined Cottage” and “The Thorn” share similar narrative designs that manage to bring comfort and peace to the reader.

Through the use of nature and sympathy, Wordsworth provides the reader with lessons in dealing with grief and remembering the truth. Wordsworth’s poem, “The Ruined Cottage”, tells the sad story of…

outcome of events. However, Vonnegut appears to contradict the points he makes on fate with examples that suggest freewill also plays a role in deciding the way things turn out. In Billy’s optometry office there lies a plaque with the serenity prayer. The serenity prayer with its line “The courage to change the things I can” opposes the tralfamadorian philosophy of accepting events as they unfold. Ironically enough, the knowledge that is bestowed upon Billy by the tralfamadorians leads him to…

AA meeting was at the Episcopal Church of Nativity I was eight years old when I found out what alcoholism was. My best friend would always be at my house for dinner or just to be away from home because her mother would be passed out from being intoxicated. My best friend would have to care for herself and sometimes after our soccer games we would have to give her a ride home because her mother wouldn't show up. I watched my best friend go through this for years until her mother went to a AA…

In this essay, I would like to compare and contrast two sculptures: Statue of Memi and Sabu from Egypt and Seated Statue of Gudea from Mesopotamia. The pair Statue of Memi and Sabu had been made ca. 2575–2465 B.C., and assumably represents husband and wife. This kind of statue was often found hidden in nonroyal tomb chapels of the Old Kingdom (n.a.). The statue is made of limestone, which is a rather soft material, that allows better manual processing but is less resistant to damage. The…
