The Impressions

at different angles and how it affected the way the object looked. One of Claude Monet’s Most famous paintings’ is the ‘Impression, sunrise’. This painting is famous for creating the term impressionism. The impressionist movement became so popular that it had spread to some forms of music and literature also. If you make a black and white copy of ‘Impression, Sunrise’ the sun disappears almost completely from the painting. Looking at this painting, I love how the sun reflects off the…

General impressions about the book I really enjoyed reading this book and didn’t have a hard time finishing it in one sitting. However, this book seemed incredibly stretched out and seemed like it was relating the same principle in different ways. I don’t think this book had a life-altering effect on me like so many others, but I did thoroughly enjoy reading it and looking at this perspective. I tried to envision myself in the book and completing the actions of all four characters. This…

down in a chair, I was nervous and worried I wouldn’t make any friends. I look over and I see a girl that sat next to me, we both gave a little smile at each other then went along with our business. Keondrane’ and I talked that first day, my first impression was this girl is shy like me. Keondrane’ is short, 5’0, she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. She is shy and quiet when you first meet her, but as you get to know her she is a high-spirited girl. She and I talked more and more each…

In the book Tom and Gatsby are put in very different lights from each other, even early on. Nick dislikes Tom, yet he loves Gatsby, and their traits may have a lot to do with this. Tom is portrayed early on with very few likeable qualities at all. He is basically as close a single human being can get to being the definition of a scumbag. One of the worst things he does though, is cheating blatantly on his wife Daisy. He has a paramour, who is poor and powerless when compared with him that…

A first impression of an individual is very important because it affects how that person is treated and viewed. Although first impressions are important and ground breaking, they can often be as misleading as they are helpful in regards to figuring someone out. In Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, a character named Joe Starks is a good example of how first impressions can be deceiving. At first glance, Joe seems like a standup guy who wants to take Janie away from a poor…

first entitled the book ‘’First Impressions’’ but then altered it to ‘’Pride and Prejudice’’. But why did Austen change it and was it a successful decision? In fact, it was. To start with Pride and Prejudice is ‘’a novel of manners’’ (Huston, K.). This novel is about marriage and focuses on the social characteristics and the significance of social groups.…

Originally titled First Impressions, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice portrays the dating scene from its time period wonderfully. During the 19th century, women had one goal: marriage. Young girls were rushed to balls and meetings with possible suitors as soon as they were of a reasonable age. However, they were not given time to find someone and fall in love. These girls were expected to find a wealthy, respectable man and marry him. The main character Elizabeth Bennet challenged this aspect…

I wish I could tell you that the Baudelaires’ first impressions of Count Olaf and his house were incorrect, as first impressions so often are. But these impressions-that Count Olaf was a horrible person, and his house a depressing pigsty-were absolutely correct. During the first few days after the orphans arrival at Count Olaf’s, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny attempted to make themselves feel at home, but it was really no use. Even though Count Olaf’s house was quite large, the three children were…

First impressions are direct reflection of one’s actions. In Free to Fall, Lauren Miller tells the story of a girl who is very intelligent, but has been living a lie. First impressions ar etypically how one might describe a person when meeting them for the first time. This is shown in the story when Rory is forced to room with an over perky girl named Hershey. Rory is often judged by others for her high intelligence level and quick thinking. However, one might argue that her eerie personality…

Society have been questioning if the incarceration of nonviolent drug offenders and the use of the three-strike law is correlated to the rise of prison population. There seems to be several beliefs that those who are drug users are violent individuals or that the use of drugs can lead to questionable behavior due to the effects that it have on the brain. Though all drugs are psychopharmacological agents, not all of them are the same. Drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine,…
