Sunset

For this assignment I had the opportunity to observe Renee Boucher's resource room class at Sunset High School in Beaverton. This observation was interesting and different from previous observations I have done, for this was my first time observing a high school classroom. From my understanding the students in the room were in grades 9-12. When I arrived Ms.Boucher was giving announcements for the week. Then three students did a book talk. Students are required to read a book of their choosing,…

Tiffany uses contrast in his composition to help direct the viewer’s eyes to different areas of his work. Typically, the viewer’s eyes start at the bright yellow sunset. When they look at the sunset, they then look at the dark contrast it has against the blue and purple mountains. The contrast between the two colors implies depth since it was created to resemble the horizon. After noticing the contrast, the viewer’s follow the…

symbols, and syntax to create deception within the short story “Young Goodman Brown.” To start off the story, Hawthorne introduces Young Goodman Brown and his wife, Faith, standing at the threshold of their house in Salem village at sunset. Both the threshold and the sunset represent the middle of a transition, whether it be in time or place. At one point in the story Young Goodman Brown’s companion offers a staff that allows one to travel faster, and after hearing strange laughter and seeing a…

breath, and look at amazing views. Underwater volcanoes erupted in the distance and made beautiful scenery. At first it scared me, because it was a volcano, but after awhile I learned it couldn’t hurt me, and I learned to enjoy it. The topper was the sunset.…

I suppose Ms. Hinton meant that the Greasers were the outsiders. I deem plausible it that Greasers are perceived by the Socs and quite possibly by the Greasers themselves as Outsiders. Maybe She considered Ponyboy an Outsider. She might have Considered Ponyboy and Johnny Outsiders. The Greasers are not considered the “good” kids. Since the Greasers are protagonists according to the newspaper it is probable that they were outsiders to their own kind. The Greasers might be considered the…

The sonnet that is at the beginning of Romeo and Juliet gives a summary of the storyline. In the poem, the most important point of the story is described. “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life,” explains the death of Romeo and Juliet. They love each other so much that they take their lives to be with each other. Aside from the climax being included in the poem, the other main parts of the story are briefly mentioned. The beginning of the poem recounts how the story leads up to the death…

Theodorakis role in gathering clues and following Otis Amber. The setting also differs. Sunset Towers is a new, beautiful glass building on the outskirts of town by Lake Michigan in the book, and is an upgrade. The movie’s version is an old building in the middle of town. The Westing house was up on a hill all alone in the book, a little ways away from Sunset Towers.. The Westing Estate was right next to Sunset Towers and is at no high elevation in the movie. In the movie, Jake was not a…

at the beach, the sun touches my skin, the breeze hitting me with sand, but most of all, I miss the colorful sunsets at the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. Every time my family and I would make a trip to the beach, I would photograph the sunset and the clouds changing colors. It would be my favourite part of the beach. On that particular day of the week of Semana Santa I photographed the sunsets as I usually do, but had an epiphany since then. These two images made me realize the importance of…

From the car window I could see the mountains, they seemed blue. My mom, brother and everyone in the car seemed relax. Each one of us had set foot in the mountain before. We watched the sunset. Sunsets are like beautiful rare paintings. No matter how many times you look at sunsets, its art always surprises you. On the first week going to the mountains, we witness this beautiful view. The sun was already going down but it was taking its time. Orange clouds were standing on top of the…
